| Cursayer2 said: How is anyone arguing about how Metroid should have multiplayer a flawed argument? It worked well with Metroid Prime: Hunters, and with the Wii's capabilities, it could be better (Please take note of the word "could" here before you start attacking me). Metroid may be classified under the "adventure" genre, but it's still more similar to Halo than Zelda, because both have similar gameplay elements. Both are in a first-person perspective, utilize guns, and take place in a sci-fi era. |
I'm sorry, did you even bother clicking those links? I guess not, so here let me break it down:
Metroid Prime: Game sells 2.77 million copies and scores a 96.3%, is a critical (3rd highest ranked game of all time on gamerankings) and commercial success.
Metroid Prime 2: Multiplayer is added. Single player is just as good as the previous (IMO better, but we'll avoid opinions) and because of the bad multiplayer, the game scores worse than the first, despite a great single player experience. This game only sells 1.24 million copies, scoring a 92.2% on Gamerankings. Making it somewhat of a critical and commercial success, but a serious decline from it's previous version.
Metroid Prime Hunters: Online Multiplayer is added. Single player suffers, making only decent multi and single player gameplay. The game scores an 85.2% on Gamerankings, and only sells .62 million copies worldwide on a system with twice the userbase...
Is it just me or, logically, is it a bad idea to have multiplayer in Metroid Prime? please tell me if this logic is off.
