Metroid Prime: Federation Force | Hype Thread | 5/10 Federation Flop

@iandizion713: Splatoon yes, star fox and federation force no

@aigis: You can get more traditional controls for both, i have both and have used both controls for both games. Some critics have even praised the more traditional controls over the modern ones.

@iandizion713: I have played both and star fox is built on the motion controls and Federation Force requires you to buy a peripheral to fix it...

@aigis: But both offer more traditional controls like i stated.

That will also mean that the IP will likely be shelved.

@iandizion713: not really, not in a reasonable manner and damn do I want to

knew that result was coming the first time they showed it.

They were not that in love with Nintendo in the 2nd half of last year.

@GameboyTroy: what was out then?

While normal people are playing DeusEx, Nintendo only owners are playing this "thing". Sheep are ewwwwwwwie.

@silversix_: You mean we playing this, Kirby Planet Robobot, Monster Hunter Generations, Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Style Saavy, Zero Time Dilemma, and Boxboxboy...yeah, i think Nintendo only owners will be just fine.

Style Saavy? Really? That game for girls to play fashion models? You play Style Saavy?

@FireEmblem_Man: Got mad love for that game. Its a guilty pleasure of mine, i run a tight fashion shop and have an eye for style. We all love it.

You've just mentioned a bunch of random crappy games lol (other than MH Generetaions... which is just a rehash of what was already available). If this kind of crap is worth buying and playing, then No Man's Sky is a GOTY contender.

@silversix_: That makes no sense, critics love the games i listed, No Man Sky, not so much. Kirby should get GOTY, hes number 1.

Also lol at MHG being a rehash and Deus Ex: MD not being one. Thats some pretty crappy standards.

Don't know about that... Half of the games you've mentioned aren't even worth reviewing lol

@silversix_: O you got jokes, fine, that one was a good one. Its not my fault media dont want to review games people love and that are good for society. They only want to focus on whats good for quick profit.

I hope @Pedro doesn't mind if I borrowed the image

@FireEmblem_Man: Whats funny is media is all about girl games and nobody gave one of the most popular girl games in the world any time of day. Hows that for sorry arse greedy media coverage.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Fatal Frame uh you might be right about Gamexplain.

As someone who is regularly tough and demanding on Nintendo yet fair and objective, Federation Force is not a 5/10 game but I understand people view things in their own perspective. Of course it has nuances separating it from what we have come to know as Metroid Prime but some do work in its favor. This game is not as awful as people figured it to be and it is no where near as great as some would have you believe.

@Solaryellow: No one is calling the game a masterpiece here. I think i rated it bout the highest in the world with an 8. But even me who loved the game had a bunch of issues with it.

But look around you, Peter Brown rated Star Fox Zero a 7 and No Mans Sky a 7. We all know how broke and boring No Man Sky turned out to be, yet it gets scored higher by the same reviewer. And im sorry, but how is Federation Force that much worst then Star Fox Zero?

This is nothing new though, Nintendo reviews have been weak on Gamespot for awhile now. Even this developers Luigi Dark Moon received a 6 on this site. Along with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and many others.

@iandizion713: They are all bad games though, 7 is the average here. I honestly think Star fox Zero is better than federation force

@charizard1605 gave it a 6/10 on his review at Gamingbolt if anyone is interested

You have bad taste though. We can tell by your reviews. Your Zero Time Dilemma gets a 10 review was good though, its your best one.

So I have heard. I do love zero escape though, it might not be a 10 but I would still give it a 9, I was happy with it save a few issues, but they were never really game destroying issues like in Star Fox Zero or Federation force. I dont know what "its your best one" is referring to

@aigis: I was just joking. I like positive reviews a lot. Some games i refuse to review cause i dont like them. I even refuse to rate them. My belief is that bad games dont deserve my time. And even adding a negative review helps make the game more popular by adding to the games install base.

Basically a game that scores a 7 and only has 15 reviews, looks a whole lot worst then a game that scores a 7 but has 258 reviews. Thats why i dont review games i dont like. I dont like talking about them either.

@iandizion713: woot <3, I need to replay zero time. I got the steam version so I want to see how much better graphically it is against the 3ds one

I only really review a game if it gets a reaction from me. It has be really good or really bad, I usually dont bother if its a middle of the road title unless its popular or in a series I like

@aigis: Its a big difference. Too bad Steam dont have the awesome touch, dual screen, and better lighting though.

Why 3DS has better lighting i have no clue. Laziness i guess. Seems people dont care though, they just want the illusion of pretty graphics. Which i understand, you have to play the game to enjoy the lighting.

@iandizion713: ya it looks pretty good. I wanted to play it on the 3ds first just because it felt more fulfilling going from 999 on the DS to VLR and ZTD on the 3ds. Plus I like being able to take it on the go

His overall comment sounds like a 5/10 to me which is average. :P

??... 7/10 is good on GS..not average..unless you're talking about in System Wars rating. :P

ya its not the official, but I just find personally 6 and below are the games you tend to avoid. 7 is kinda on the mark for an average game

Who could've seen this coming!? It looked so chibi and cute! The gameplay was revolutionary looking! No Samus I'm sold! Take my money Nintendo!!! <-----right..... this all could have been avoided if say, oh I don't know, Nintendo actually listened to their fanbase. Seriously, who was in the board meeting that day talking up this turd? Hear me out guys!, we can make a quick money grab game by making a worse Metroid Prime Hunters. Paste the Prime name on it. Exclude Samus from most of it and make MILLIONS!!! SMMFHO

Hahahah, those reviews. Maybe Nintendo will think twice about screwing their fans over like that.

@Phreek300: @emgesp: Got great reviews in Miiverse and eShop. Whats the matter boys, dont have a Nintendo account?

did Nintendo also say its awesome?

@aigis: Theyd have to buy a copy to tell. But no, i have not heard from Kit, Krstya, or any others from Nintendo about how they liked it.

Ill show you how i rated it. Since i played it, ive unlocked rating it feature on the title. There are 5 steps to rating the game.

• Gender
• Age
• 1-5 Stars (1 means didnt like, 5 means Loved it, which i gave it 4)
• Appeal (Everyone or Gamers, i chose Gamers)
• Play Style (Casual or Intense, i chose Intense)

Submit.

I dont know why that seems so menacing to me... maybe its the bold

@aigis: It was meant to be an urgent reminder that you can submit reviews easily on eShop, i was number 149, i had forgot.

Was anyone even hyped for this besides the kid with the kirby sig?

@EvanTheGamer: I actually wasnt even gonna buy the game until i heard it was too hard for Jose and Peter Brown. I then figured the game was made for me since i love hard games. I never miss out on an intense hardcore game. But yeah, hardly no one was hyped for Federation Force. Was a lot of fears around it. I just hope is does good when it releases to the rest of the world.

7 is too high for all those games

@jcrame10: Your are free to rate them to your liking.

i rate them all: not worth my money

@jcrame10: Yeah, you were wise to save it i guess then.

last game i bought brand new was Uncharted 4 (I got Star Ocean 5 and Xenoblade Chronicles X cheap last month), next one I buy brand new will probably be Recore

@jcrame10: Yeah, Target started clearancing a bunch of Wii U and 3DS games at my Target. Which is a super strange thing to do right before holidays. 3DS it makes sense cause they have a bunch of games releasing, but Wii U dont have nothing really yet. Had Bayoneta $14.99, Hyrule Warrior $29.99, Xenoblade Chronicles X $29.99, plus a few others.

Best Buy had a flash sale one weekend in June or July and I got Xenoblade X for $29.99 brand new. Solid deal

lots of sheep did, in their heart. But they were simply too ashamed to admit it. Same could be said about the Devil's Turd.

@jcrame10: O yeah, i remember, had like that Mario Maker, Yoshi Woolly World, and Star Fox Zero $29.99. Yeah i love best buy, its where i bought Federation Force and most my games 20% off.

@silversix_: I still got Devils Third but im ashamed i still havnt played it. Its still sealed. My good friend played it and said it was solid, they enjoyed it as much as Zombi U. But i didnt care for that game, so i havnt tried it yet. Havnt had time due to backlog.
