Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 611

Greetings, good people.

I bought and tried Metroid Prime 4. I played for about five hours and downloaded Prime remaster. Seriously, classical "You and the guy she tells you not to worry about" situation. Where has all the talent gone?

Other than that, I'm having a blast with Wuchang Fallen Feathers. This game has talent in spades. Seriously, I'm amazed how a debut game from a new developer nailed the soulslike combat, it feels better than the actual Souls games. Very excited to see future projects from these guys.

That's all for now, love each other and have a great weekend.

Greetings, good people.

This week I identify as a game boy. No, really, it only took eight years for Nintendo to add control mapping to game boy games on Switch so they are finally playable for me. So I've completed two Mario Land games. And while the first one is simple little game only good as a piece of history, the second one is actually great! Level design is superb and the variety of stages, enemies and bosses is off the charts. I've really enjoyed that game more than any so-called "new" Mario Bros.

I also started Metroid Prime... Hunters. No, really, I already bought Prime 4, but decided to finish the only Metroid game I didn't finish before starting it. I tried it on DS when it came out and found it awful. Now thanks to melonprime it's playable at least. Doubt I'll get much enjoyment out of it, but I need to close gestalt.

That's all for now, wish you a great weekend.

I bought Zero Dawn on release. I started it FOUR TIMES, two on PS4 and another two on PS5. I just couldn't finish it. Many reasons: poor melee system, very boring fights with human enemies, primitive stealth, long treks from point A to point B with nothing interesting in between... Still I could live with all that. But the writing - oh my god, it's so bad! Everyone has a lot to say and a very little to actually tell, and the protagonist is insufferable. People say she is even worse in the sequel, I can't imagine it. I have Forbidden West copy that was bundled with my PS5, it's still wrapped.
