Yes fair enough, but when every boss becomes a puzzle boss it gets a bit repetitive and kind of goes against tradition. Fortunately Prime 3 did improve on this a lot.

Understandable, Capcom is throwing everything they can at the Switch, from Dragons Dogma to Okami to Resident Evil to Devil May Cry, filling it with ports, its obvious REngine doesn't scale well to their standards/liking otherwise they would make more, not many gamers should be thrilled with a sub hd/ sub 30fps DMC 5 version even if its portable.
Contrary to what many ERA fellows believe Capcom and Nintendo have a very good relationship
Yeah I have a Wii and Wii U so I'm good. I bought my copy used years ago (shortly before it released on eShop at $10 for awhile, just my luck). It sucks for those who want to buy though.
But it's not boring, quite the opposite. It's so tense you want to get the hell out of there asap everytime you're in it. If you don't like that feeling, I can understand that. It's like some people don't like getting lost while exploring in a game so they can't stand games like Prime or Hollow Knight. And there are people who can't stand being in an invironment that makes them wish to get out asap. I found the way it's colour scheme, damage over time and general encounter design forming this opressive whole to be genius.
Oh sure, if the puzzles aren't varied enough. Prime 3's bosses were hit and miss for me. I think we can agree that Prime 1s bosses are the worst overall though.. They didn't figure out how to make their combat design that focuses more on dodging than shooting work in a bossfight environment.
MP3 has a different issue for me. It's just way too unbalanced with its Phazon mode. Everything is a cakewalk in that, even the bosses, and without it everything becomes a bullet sponge. Wasn't really a fan.
At this point, it's pretty clear that the RE Engine doesn't work well on the Switch for one reason or another. So if that gets announced, it's ultimately whatever.
Yeah it's probably not the same anymore, but it's annoying when people dismiss
Nah, it's because you have good taste and it's actually the best game. :P
I'd try it but it's not my preferred way of experiencing games, so I'd most likely still buy it for another platform.
One thing that I'm hoping is that getting away from the awful robotic control scheme from Prime 1 is that it'll make future bossfights so much better; it's probably a big part of the reason that Prime 3's headed in the right direction.
We seem to have very similar views for the most part. You aren't supposed to like the Dark World or want to be there. Sure it seems paradoxical to intentionally make parts of the game repelling but they did it well imo. By the end of the game the Dark World even becomes safer than the light, adding some irony as well.
Prime 3's bosses were too reliant on hypermode. Varying on the difficulty bosses were either too easy or too hard, but almost always tedious. Helios will also always disappoint me as well. They gave such a cool area such a boring boss.
Good to see you back, Zippo. Finally beaten my backlog. Finally free from that burden
If they announced an NA version, I'd gladly take it (assuming it runs well).
It also makes for the best progression the series has ever seen. Getting the light suit was such a good feeling.
If we talk purely controls, yeah maybe. design wise, especially with the phazon hyper mode, not really.
I would be fine with it if it released day and date with the other platforms. If it's happening it will be a later release so they can keep it.
Hey, good to see ya! I remember you telling me about that. Great job. I'm replaying older some older games in these crazy times myself.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Btw, such a shame you didn't really get into the Trials of Mana demo. I had and have my own gripes with it, but it's still kinda fun. Somewhat simple and sometimes janky, but fun.
Not sure if 50€ fun, though.
Prime3 had the worst line up of bosses IMO. A lot fo them were boring and overly long. The fights against the other bounty hunters were great though.
I'm just glad to be free of it. Free to enjoy whatever new stuff Nintendo puts out. I finished astral chain this past weekend. Good game. Had it in my backlog since September. Might start playing smash online again. Haven't touched that in ages .
Doesn't seem that Harada is busy with anything nowadays. Aren't they done with Tekken 7 DLC development? Maybe we could get a Pokkén announcement sometime this year.
I want, aside from super popular ones (Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard) roster should be made up from gen 7-8 pokémon. No oldies.
Yeah, for some reason it just didn't grab me despite looking really decent in handheld mode. I may get it if it comes really down in price. But for now, I'm just playing Smash, Fire Emblem and waiting for Xenoblade DE and future titles.
It would be a success at 2-3 million obviously (probably even just a million honestly considering the budget). No reason why it couldn't sell 5+ million easily considering the reasons I listed. Good chance of it happening (if the game is good, of course)
I can't say I'm too excited when comes to Nintendo potential offerings for this year (other than Smash DLC)... Since Odyssey 2 and Breath of the Wild 2 seems out of question, a NEW Donkey Kong game doesn't sound likely for now and I'm not interested in Wii U ports in general... so I'm hoping to be surprised with something else. But maybe 3rd Parties will be my backup this year ~
Some games I ended up not liking but I'm done with it as far as I'm concerned
With Emily's comment about it being a good year for plumbers I'm convinced the holiday title is a Mario game.
Why exactly do both Odyssey 2 and BOTW 2 seem out of the question?
IMO we're essentially guaranteed to have one of them this holiday season. Or if not Odyssey 2 the next new 3D Mario game.
OP
OP
Taking this into consideration.
Nah, it'd be either 2D Mario, 3D Mario, or Mario Kart. Paper Mario can release in summer or fall.
Awesome. I'm done with Nintendo's 2019 lineup for the most part. I just have Dragon Quest now.
Thanks! Glad to see everyone's doing okay.
The worst lineup? You have the Gandalf vs Balrog fall with Ridley; the emotional fight with Rundas; the absolutely terrifying build-up to Ghor; Gandrayda mimicking Samus as she dies, all polished off by sound fights against Ridley and the foreboding Aurora unit. You could make a case that Prime 2 has the best bosses, sure, but imo it also has the worst. Either way, I do not think that the boss fights in 1 are better than those in Prime 3: the best bosses in that game are maybe the Omega Pirate and...idk the turret that shoots the bees? At least that fight was kinda funny.
Dragon quest is on my to get list but held off due to backlog . I'll get it for sure soon.
Have you played Prime 3 on the hardest difficulty? Mogenar is one of the most tedious bosses I've ever fought in a game. And don't get me started on Dark Samus.
Flaaghra is a basic four hit pattern boss. Not interesting, but it's over in a flash. Ridley isn't great, but he's got nothing on Mogenar and Dark Samus.
That's where I'm at. It doesn't make a lick of sense to release it but I'd be all over it.

Ok, and which boss fights reach the highs of Prime 3's in Prime 1?
Same here, I don't think it'll happen but I'm totally okay with a new Mario Kart.
Just Omega Pirate.
I'll take a boss roster with less highs but also less lows over one with more highs but also more lows.
Fair enough! I'm judging by my first playthroughs on what were not on the highest difficulties.
The Hunter fights were great but the Aurora Unit fight was rubbish, worst final boss of them all. Prime 2 definitely had the best bosses overall, which ones did you think were the worst? I thought some were a bit of a ball ache spider guardian for one. How did you forget the Metroid Prime fight, it was incredible!
