Now that GS is destined to flop Metroid

Should we just brace for impact, sheep?

You know the game's going to be great. I know the game's going to be great. The haters know it's going to be great. But, according to GS's review of Scarface, their biggest gripe with the controls was having to keep the pointerin the center of the screen.

Now, the only real problem here is that, apparently, GS is an old dinosaur who can't manage to learn a new control scheme. Hell, Call of Duty made you keep the pointer in the center, and GS flopped it. They're going to base their entire view of Metroid on their inability to play it.

Last I checked, Greg didn't flop Ninja Gaiden because a lot of people sucked at it. But I guess since he's gone, there's no one to come in and say, "Dude, you suck at the game; don't count that against it".

*sigh* We're gonna have a helluva flame war when Metroid gets flopped (notice I say "gets flopped" instead of "flops", because anyone with half a brain knows it's AAA).

Ok, don't know why that text didn't go through...

Like I typed before, you don't need to actually hodl your arm straight out, just use an arm rest or something. It's not that hard to figure out... well, for some people.

has it ever occured to you that maybe the control scheme just sucks ass? Maybe, just maybe, the control deservedly should be the downfall of the game?

No, you're too worried about the score they attach to it, as oppose to the game's accual faults.

the last screens looked horrible and the controll scheme looks dumb.

flop metroid cause it "looks bad" wow just wow. Its not on the 360 or ps3 so its not going to have mind blowing graphics so it should flop for that reason. How stupid can you get?!?!?!

Pokemon Snap > Halo ^^

Just because you keep your first XBOX doesn't mean you don't have your 9th one lying around...

all this type is making me excited to play metroid prime 3. im about to go to youtube and watch some videos for this game again.

You misinterpret my post. I'm not bashing the game, I'm bashing GS's inability to hold a pointer steady.

All I care about is Mario Galaxy... if this game flops like Sunshine did then this will be a big disappointment to me.

For fps genre Halo 3 will be mine.

Gamespot score is nothing official. There is www.gamerankings.com for that ;)

I have heard nothing but good things about Metroid Prime 3's control scheme.

Once again, yes, I agree, and it's going to be awesome. The problem is that, apparently, GS doesn't like using the pointer constantly.

Scarface =/= Metroid Prime 3.

No he's not.

I find it amazing that the same group of fanboys that spend so much time trying to kid themselves that they dont really care about GTA4, are crying over a review of a lame gta rip-off that absolutley noone else cares about.mijkil

I know. Apparently nothing on the Wii can possibly suck. Waggle makes everything better, I guess it doesn't.

Its not about using the pointer its about the screen moving any time you need to scratch an itch or set the controller down.

Here is a good idea, any time you want to move the pointer on screen you have to hold down the button on the nunchuk. Then you release when you don't. Keeping it constant isn't necessary.

GS flopped Shadowrun, did the 360 fanboys make thousands of forum posts about how "great" Shadowrun is, and how GS is biased, and they were just "too lazy" to deal with the ass-backwards LIVE interface on PC? No. They accepted that Shadowrun failed to live up to the epic source material, took the game for what it is, and moved on with their lives.

The only people who are deciding whether Metroid Prime 3 flops right now are working for Nintendo, not CNN - and if MP3 gets a bad review score it will be because Nintendo failed to deliver a quality game. Instead of chanting "MP3 is a good game, you know it will be, blah blah blah" based on a game *you've never seen or played* why not wait and see what Nintendo delivers? The only guarantee is that, just like the Twilight Princess review, if MP3 isn't handed a AAA score, Nintendo fans will be bashing the review, and the reviewer, before they've even played the game.

Actually, I think you'll turn with the Analog stick, just like in the first two.

Scarface got the review it deserved for being nothing more than a PS2 port with a Wiimote strapped to it. Get over it. Every time Jeff has the balls to be honest about yet another developer throwing a shoddy game on the Wii, all the Nintendo fanboys attack him for it. Are you really so blind that you want every reviewer to automatically hand out 7.0+ scores, just so you can gloat about how "great" the Wii is? Pathetic

Sheep are the entitlement fanboys. "Nintendo saved gaming we deserve it!" "Nintendo is classic they deserve it!" "Wii is innovative it deserves it!"

Good grief I've never seen a group of fanboys who want all the glory based on reputation alone.
