Yeah I am interested in how the influx of third party games may shape Nintendo's offerings and their success by the end of the gen. 

So now it's been a couple of days since I made this post and I've cooled down a bit. But I still consider this game to be ass and could probably add complaints to the list in the OP.

To people saying that this game gets undeserved hate and people jumping on the hate train: I clearly stated in the OP that I on purpose did avoid reviews and opinions of this game before playing the game and making the OP. After finishing the game (and making OP) I've read some opinions, and lo and behold they actually aren't that dissimilar to what I wrote.

Further some replies try to make a point that main line Pokemon games are the same or worse and I strongly disagree with this. Newer pokemon games problem are not that they are bad games, their problems are that they are basically the same game, that does not make them bad (other than in some cases optimisation) it's just that they are samey and you feel the lack of innovation so they don't feel fresh (that in combination with a lot of times also looking kind of ugly). Metroid Prime 4s problem isn't that it's just a rehash of the original trilogy, it's that it's straight up bad (for the reasons I listed in OP + more things).

It won't change anything in their offering Nintendo's current structure is in place to because they made the mistake on relying on third parties heavily and it backfired when the N64 had a load of them jump ship, only thing third parties will change this time is how they schedule their releases and structure their NDs.

A poorly written "review" that tells us nothing new about anything. There is no detail, and no justification for the take-home message. Also, what's up with the terrible spelling?

English is not my first language. What’s your excuse?

Prime 4 is a good game in general. Pretty much everything that was Retro Studio's doing is great. But Tanabe really fucked everything up by forcing the whole open world thing and salvaging the basic structure of what Bandai Namco previously made. If they had let Retro made their own vision of Metroid Prime 4 with no outside interference, things would have gone much different. As is, Metroid Prime 4 is just a good game but far from the other 3 Prime games and even worse overall than Other M. At least Other M had a focused vision to follow, even if the game had its flaws. Other M was consistent: Prime 4 not.

I will always use the same analogy for Prime 4: the game feels like a high school group project in which each student made its own part without comunicating with the others and then they mixed it all up in the end. The result is a project that is technically correct, but it lacks cohesion and it shows mistakes from every student involved.

You don't know what a bad game is. Go play Rascal on PS1. Vampire Rain on 360. Virtual Hydlide Saturn or Virtuoso 3DO. Home Alone PS2.  People like you think a game is either a 10/10 or shit with nothing in between. Prime 4 is a good 7/10 game which is lower than the other games but far from bad. No one says you have to like it but saying it's bad or "ass" is just hyperbole. It's a sad sympton of online culture. If a game is not exactly like what came before or deviates a bit. People act like it murdered a room of people. 

Nah, It's not nearly that bad. It just isn't the life changing experience people were expecting with how long the game was delayed. They couldn't figure out how to put the game on Switch 1 until very late in its life, which is why it changed hands between studios mid development.

I remember seeing the trailer and thinking "This looks like a normal Metroid Prime game". Nothing wrong with that per se, but people expected a lot more with how long the game was in development.

To each their own. I do not agree it is the worst Nintendo game.

The game never grabbed me. I still haven't finished it. I was shooting for 100% and to find out I fell short before going to the tower just killed it for me. I missed some scans during boss fight I believe (like their projectiles).

I did not find the desert stuff terrible just not great.

It is weird, I bought it at launch and the best part of the game, for me, was sitting on the title screen listening to the music. The game is pretty and the music is good. I really do need to pick the game back up and at least finish it.

I'm just about finished with it. I wasn't loving it at first, but not hating it either. In the end I had a pretty good time with it. I could have done without the desert exploration, but I enjoyed everything else about it.
