just bought Other M, will see how the game is. I haven't played that much of Metroid Prime 1. and haven't played 2 and 3.

it is also like when i find FF XIII a good game, but i know why people are angry at it. then XIII-2 came, people are still angry since it didn't suit their taste but SE fix several issues from XIII. lol

for this game, it was in my wishlist in Amazon. i still think i would check further reviews on the game and hopefully if it isn't really worth $60, Nintendo should lower its price.

For the Federation Force, i hope it would still deliver on what their objective and vision of the game is.

i'm not a game designer or part of the gaming industry, more on IT, so i know the software development cycle, etc... and people just think it is easy to create something from scratch or use the tools (engine in gaming - Unreal, etc) and still push what the gamers want.

most of the people who bash the game aren't interested anyway and probably won't buy to begin with.
it is a different story when you have the game and you say it is really bad. but because of bad publicity, people would jump the bandwagon.

No one is really bashing metroid federation force for its gameplay, people are just mad that Nintendo thinks it can get away with a budget spin off substitute in place of one of the most requested franchises.

As for Devils third, people aren't jumping on the hate bandwagon blindly. Actual gameplay was shown at e3, poor graphics were shown on all videos, and reviewers are hating the game (giving their reasons as to why). People are using information shown by Nintendos trailers. Even if the game is funner to play in person, Nintendo did a very poor job of showing it. Making an educated assumption based on presented information is better than spending $60 to confirm something that seems obvious (especially when other reviewers have done that for you).

yes, making a game is very hard and difficult, but if they want to give it a full retail price like every other major game developer, then they need to suck it up and make it work well. No one should get a free pass on making a quality full priced game.

on Federation Force, there are people who bashes it off for its gameplay with the attachment of the Metroid Prime. the overall poor presentation of Federation Force from E3 itself then adding the word Metroid into the game really pushed people to dislike it

so they are reviewing the game based on a demo or they have a copy of the game? or just reviewing the trailers? not all the articles mentioned if they played the game or so. 

i'll post a preview from NintendoWorldReport and the author's opinion says 'The single-player of Itagaki's latest is a drab, shallow adventure.'
