Uh, because they can? They have a sci-fi game with no name, and they have a sci-fi IP with no game. It makes absolute sense to put two and two together.

Seriously, all the complaints about it pretty much amount to “I’m salty about this vanilla ice cream because I wanted chocolate ice cream. Metroid should be chocolate!…

Having played it, it doesn’t feel like the Metroid name was just slapped on it. It actually feels like a cool side adventure in a bigger universe and makes me wish we had more of these, just as I’d like there to be more main Metroid games, too. They do a good job not just of using Samus as a supporting character but…

The Noctis figure alone is $120 for the regular version.

Your argument makes no sense. For starters, a game being great is not an indication that DLC will be worth it, therefore pre-ordering one and not the other are not mutually exclusive. Second, I pre-ordered the game out of pure emotional attachment. There was no logical “I know this game will be great” it is more “I…

It’s the Figure. Those go for about $80-$100 by themselves.

As a purchaser of the ultimate edition...and re-looking at what is included in it...I am fine with this (and now I can make my own decision about whether the DLC will be worth or it not.)

Ya the hate is stupid, but how do you know you will have fun tho you never played it.

I don’t get all the hate for this. It’s still a Nintendo game and they almost always turn out to be a good time. I loved the Blast Ball demo, and I know I’ll have tons of fun playing through this game. I’m sure Nintendo has lots of surprises in store during the game.

I like Metroid Other M more than any of the Prime games. It’s far from perfect, but I liked its fast action much more than the slow paced exploration of Prime.

I can’t help but laugh at these sorts of comments where you’re almost making it sound like these games are gonna rise up and take control over the industry. Like, seriously, this is an industry that is still absolutely saturated with FPS and action games, but a small handful of more ambient, exploration-based games…

Video games occupy this interesting space where they’re both art and product, and nothing illustrates that more than the way reviews work. On one hand, reviewers (should) want to write interesting critiques that dig into whether a game does what it set out to do, and how it makes players feel. On the other hand, we…

Skyrim smashed expectations? I don’t remember it being well received at all (felt like I was one of the few who loved it)

>The size of the games install being so small really came as a shock for me like how many actual assets does the game have?

The true value of a game can only be seen several years after launch.

If this was Jezebel, the title would’ve been “Entitled White Male Harasses Chinese Woman Online, Gets What He Deserves.”

Yep, this whole thing upsets me. I loved the original Prey, and I really wanted to see what happened after Tommy stepped through that portal.

The WiiU is powerPC based which means even more programming and headaches

Except big third party developers have said they’re excited about the NX.

Figures: I bought a PS4 today because I realized just how close this game is to coming out and how interested I am in it*, and now it’s going to get delayed again. STOP DELAYING THE GAME, JASON.

If games were priced based on the amount of effort that went into creating them, none of us would be able to afford any of the good ones.
