Honestly, the only people who give a shit about Metroid are here and IGN, and like 4 guys on YouTube. Really overrated series.

Right, because Super Metroid and Metroid Prime aren't on top 50 game lists quite frequently on all sites. And Metroid Prime doesn't have the 15th highest metacritic score at a rounded 97%. It is quite obvious that the series is more acclaimed than, "here and IGN, and like 4 guys on YouTube." It is evidenced by your "overrated series" comment. If it is only cared about by such a subset of the internet gaming population, how is it overrated? 

Well, it is very overrated, that is definitely true. It was like an FPS dungeon crawler, how much more boring of a genre splice can you get? Especially when it had no multiplayer, and really bad controls.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

My answer to this thread is life isn't fair.

It is more of an Action-Adventure than an Action game. If you look at it as an FPS then of course you will be dissapointed because the FPS genre is an action genre, not an Action-Adventure. It is like saying the Legend of Zelda is boring because its combat is simple and the enemies aren't varied. Bayonetta is a better game. That isn't the point of the game. The appeal of Metroid Prime, in particular, is that you're exploring a world and reading scan files that reveal a little bit more of the world, you also focus on upgrades that allow you to explore more of the world and enemies are and shooting takes a back-seat. That was how it was with Metroid/Super Metroid vs. something like Contra, and that is how it is with Metroid Prime vs. Halo. Also Metroid Prime 2 had multiplayer, and Metroid Prime: Hunters had online multiplayer.

Sounds pretty fun to me, but then again my all time favorite game might be Borderlands 2. Maybe. If not its a close second.

Agreed. I'll for one say this, I care more about Metroid then I do any other first party franchise Nintendo owns.

we're long overdue for ANY Metroid game. 3DS or Wii U.

Definitely true?? definitley YOUR truth, have you play the game?  Because Metroid Prime is one of the BEST games I´ve played EVER, for me that´s the true meaning of perfection in videogame, I loved the first even more than Wind Waker, and you are just saying **** about a game that you´ve probably never played more than 15 minutes. Metroid Prime very overrated? that´s the most silly thing I´ve heard today honestly imo :S
