I am all about creating great, strong female characters. I’m more excited for Captain Marvel than any of the other movies on Marvel’s Horizon. I just hate how now, you have to put inclusiveness everywhere. Toy Story was a story about a young boy’s toys. Is it really necessary to throw in a few Barbies for the sake of…

Ok there, bud.

And let’s just ignore the fact that they are all Andy’s toys. Andy, being a boy, is much more likely to have male toys. I guess they should make a post-2015 Target toy shelves, gender neutral Toy Story, right?

No, I absolutely LOVE Metroidvania-type games. I’ve played all the 2D Castelvanias and Metroids, as well as Guacamelee, Shadow Complex, the new Strider, etc. That’s what irks me about not liking the controls of Prime, because I SHOULD love it. It has nothing to do with the type of game and everything to do with my…

Never said it was like Call of Duty. Ever. But saying Metroid Prime is anything but an FPS is just....lying.

I bought it again on my WiiU because I thought I could play it on my game pad with twin sticks. I’d be all over that.

I love games that give the sense of wonder and discovery. I love Bethesda games for that reason alone. Just wander and find. My issue with the Prime series is I find the means to get from point A to point B cumbersome, and I can’t get around it.

Not physically exerting: tiring. Boring. Tedious. There’s a reason motion controls have gone by the wayside. They’re not fun.

Did I say it was physically exerting? No, I said tiring. As in ‘lose interest in; become bored with’. After 5 minutes, I just dont want to move the magic wand anymore.

Quite the opposite, actually. I WANT to like the Prime series, not dislike it ‘for whatever reason.’ I hate the controls. I’ve tried multiple times across multiple platforms and can’t get past it. I understand that I’m in the minority, but thems the shakes.

I love every other Metroid game besides the Prime series. I love the sense of exploration, going back to an area after you have the upgrade, finding hidden areas, etc. I just can’t get past the controls in Prime. I don’t like them.

I understand that a big chunk of the game is not actual shooting, but your vision is from behind a gun and you still control it from a first person perspective, so...

No. The game has shitty controls. Some people can see past this; I cannot.

It’s a first person game where your primary means of attack is shooting, i.e: It’s a first person shooter. It even has the gun-pivot left over from Goldeneye and Perfect Dark left over from the 64 era. The wiimote helps, but having to point at the boundaries of the screen to turn got old after 5 minutes (as did…

Own it. Having to point the wiimote at the screen is tiring. Give me twin sticks. :/

I’ll be that guy: I don’t get the hype for Metroid Prime. I’ve tried multiple times to play through or (Gamecube, Wii, and WiiU) and I can’t get myself to make it past 20% or so through. I don’t get the wow factor; that sense of exploration. I just see a ho-hum quasi-shooter with archaic controls. I truly with I had…

I haven’t bought comics in 15 years, but Secret Wars has me buying 6-8 issues a week. Infinity Gauntlet, Thors, Future Imperfect, Attilan Rising, and 2099 are all superb. Most of the rest are simply great. Kudos, Marvel.

I’m not advocating that this will be cost effective, but rather simply ‘damned cool.’ Using cloud computing to run gaming calculations doesn’t make financial sense. I still want to level entire cities with no slowdown, however. This article states 7 servers, but if you watch the IGN video, it tops at 12 (I believe).…

You said that was a quick guide, liar.

When you play Abathur, you are not playing the same game as everyone else. You are playing an RTS (or a field commander, ala Battlefield). Be cognisant of the entirety of the map, not just around Abathur himself. Shield towers, hat minions, spike other heroes. Be omnipresent.
