LiveLM, do games w Metroid Prime 4 | Review Thread

Okay, so far so good.
Looks like the yellow painted fuck didn’t ruin it.

Just like Jar Jar, I feel like a lot of hate for that character is just bandwagoners trying to fit in with other bandwagoners.

Looking at the gameplay, it actually looks like a turd. But I’ve never liked Metroid so maybe there’s something there for those who do 🤷

Does anyone actually trust reviews these days?

All of them are either paid off or just saying what they think the “community” would like to hear.

I’m never going to forget how a pile of trash like MGSV got 9s and 10s across the board.

It’s the BEST! Project Zomboid is in my humble opinion the definite Zombie Apocalypse Survival Game with nothing else coming even close. Especially when modded, but even without mods. Had my Server running for 2 years and played with my friends, it was an absolute BLAST! It ended when we were sieged in our fortress by a horde a screen wide and somebody decided to throw Molotov cocktails at them… because burning zombies set everything they touch on fire… that includes wooden fortresses.

I specifically had told everyone that the only thing more dangerous then a horde is a burning horde. But did they listen?! Nooooo…

XD

It was such a fun ending though, the Zeds breaking through the south wall and us fighting them with everything we had until we were stranded in the garage and the doors were breaking down… so we toasted to having survived that long with bleach and died before they got to us.

ragingHungryPanda,

omg that reminds me of late nights playing left for dead 2. what a blast!

prole,

Have you seen Vein? Still early access, I think, but it’s got potential

Th3D3k0y,

I have this on my wishlist so I can keep an eye on it.

It really is. At least for me, that’s where I have a lot of my fun.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond feels like a game stuck between two worlds. When it’s emulating the series’ past, Beyond is an entertaining, if overly conservative, sequel. However, as the shadowy corridors make way for open-world fetch quests, and Halo-style expeditions with AI companions, it’s left feeling like a diluted experience that doesn’t fully deliver on the spirit of earlier entries.

exactly what everyone was worried about. it sounds like it’s still worth playing but doesn’t reach the highs of the series, and those open world bike sections look boring and unnecessary

I was hoping for more than a cromulent 3D Metroid, but I’ll take it for what it sounds like it is.

mienshao,

I’ve seen other reviews literally say it’s the best game all year.

I really wish people would chill. I don’t understand the doom and worry over an 8/10…

RightHandOfIkaros,

Its a Nintendo game with a well known name. Of course some people are going to call it a 10/10 game of the year, even if it doesn’t deserve it.

People said that Zelda BotW was a 10/10, and then Tears came out and made all of those people look like idiots. BotW was really more like what I said it was, a 6/10.

mienshao,

I have literally never once heard anyone call BotW anything other than a masterpiece. I’m sorry, really not trying to come for you, but I think it’s fucking nuts to call that game a 6/10.

jaycifer,

Were you around when it released? There was a somewhat small but steady voice online that disliked the weapon degradation, lack of traditional dungeons, the small scale of what dungeons there were, and the clunkiness of the UI.

sbbq,

This is one of those series where a game that doesn’t do well can make sure you won’t see another entry for ten years.

I wouldn't worry. Dread was extremely well received, and set up a big plot hook for a continuation.

SabinStargem, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

The ways I cheat depends on the game. Sometimes to get rid of grind, others to obtain abilities that are mutually exclusive. EG: X-COM, where I had soldiers with all branches of their abilities active, rather than having to pick just one. Max stat spreads, without having to pick a specialty.

I pretty much play games for narrative or to simply keep my hands busy while listening to Behind the Bastards.

LucidNightmare, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

I play games to have fun, which is the reason I don’t play multiplayer games (unless local). I also have a very limited amount of time to play games after work.

I cheat with WeMod on openSUSE Tumbleweed for every game I can. I’ve just recently beaten Resident Evil 2+3 and am currently on 4 right now, and am having a blast getting to play these games!

The number one reason I am having a blast is BECAUSE of the cheats. Every game is different for me, so I only use the cheats that will minimize the amount of time I have to do silly shit like collect X amount of this material or whatever other stupid grindy stuff they come up with that doesn’t respect my time as a player. Using the RE games as an example, I don’t turn on every single cheat. I don’t want to worry about inventory management (not fun to me, personally), so I turn on No Reload. This means my weapons will never need to be reloaded, which means more space in the inventory for the story important items. Win/Win for me. What I don’t do, for these games in particular, is use the infinite/god mode cheats. I still want to get damaged and try to recover if it happens, so I leave that one off.

People get… really fuckin’ weird when you talk about how much fun you have using cheats in a video game. “You can’t be having that much fun, or else you wouldn’t cheat!”, “You shouldn’t cheat on video games because it takes the fun away!”, “WOW, YOU NEED TO GET GUD SCRUB. ONLY LITTLE BABIES CHEAT IN VIDEO GAMES!!!111!!”. And here I am just having fun and completing game after game after game to get through my monumental Steam library. :P

nwtreeoctopus,

Cheating to get around parts that aren’t fun for you is just valuing your time. I’ll cheat any way that improves the fun of the game. Sometimes, that’s extra ammo or money or materials I don’t want to grind for.

That said, my favorite games are still Souls games and the only “cheats” I like there are ones that make the game harder.

Auli, (edited ) do games w Do you cheat in video games?

I don’t get it in multiplayer games. Why ruin it for everyone and why cheat? Your not actually that good. I just don’t get it.

And then what is cheering is watching/reading a walk through cheating? Single player so what you want.

cerebralhawks, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

I do not, as a rule, play games where my enjoyment affects others. When I do, no, I don’t cheat. The rest of the time? I’m not above taking a shortcut if it brings me more enjoyment if the product I paid for. I occasionally cheat at Animal Crossing. Look up treasure islands. I don’t abuse them but I definitely make use of them.

Psythik, (edited ) do games w Do you cheat in video games?

I used to back in the late 90s-early 2000s in StarCraft: BroodWar when I was a kid. Mainly because I was absolute trash and was trying to compete.

My favorite hacks were map hacks (removes fog of war) and stack hacks (construct buildings on top of each other to fit more in your base). I also used a no-CD crack (glad those days are over), and a disconnect hack so that I would never have a loss on my record.

Even with these hacks I was still trash at StarCraft, and always will be. Gave up on RTS games a long time ago. Hacks can’t save you from poor resource management and low APM.

Haven’t hacked in a game since. I heard that they cost money these days. I couldn’t possibly imagine paying real money to cheat. The closest I get to cheating in games today is playing mobile shooters in an Android emulator on PC. That way I can take advantage of mouse & keyboard + playing on a larger 4K HFR screen for smoother framerates and better visibility over a phone screen. But that’s allowed (Tencent even has an official emulator for this very thing), and many mobile shooters will detect M&KB input and try to only match you with other players using the same input method, so I’m not sure if you can really call that cheating.

It does give me an advantage, though.

I believe non of these reviewers. I’ll judge until I play it.

CannedCairn, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

In single player yes, who cares, mods are fun too. In co-op, fine, as long as everyone is on board with the change. In PvP, never, thanks for fucking ruining the fun.

Blaiz0r, do games w My review on the AYN Odin 3

Really interesting review, thank you.

When you say this isn’t ready for most people, is that because the software needs more time, or the hardware isn’t there yet?

If I bought one of these today, could I expect to see better compatibility over the next 6 months to year with Steam games, or will it still be mostly for Android games and old system emulators?

Really interesting review, thank you.

Thank you for saying so! I really appreciate that :)

When you say this isn’t ready for most people, is that because the software needs more time, or the hardware isn’t there yet?

100% its the software. Drivers just aren’t there yet, but they’re being actively worked on as we speak, so early 2026 will be a solid assumption. Most PC games I tried worked incredibly well, out of the box without anything needed. But yes, as drivers improve and release, that compatibility will only get higher and higher.

As it stands:

  • PC games are the best thing on the Odin 3. They work so well.
  • Switch games are a gamble, a lot work beautifully but there’s still a lot which haven’t got the right support yet. But my friend who is a developer of Eden (Switch emulator) was sent an Odin 3 Max to help with development. So that’s only a matter of time.
  • PS3 is the same as Switch, some work, some do not.
  • PS2, all the games I tried were fantastic. Played SO nicely, upscaled and perfect. But there’s still a handful that will need some of that community driver goodness.
  • Older-older systems are fine in dedicated emulators, but in RetroArch, its a mess.

The hardware is phenomenal and ahead of its time. We’re just waiting for the support for the Snapdragon Elite to play catch-up now. But after spending so long testing it, if you’re someone who likes to be at the forefront of things, then it’s a solid investment. I’d buy one, if I wasn’t sent a review unit. But I have the benefit of testing for so long to come to that conclusion!

If I bought one of these today, could I expect to see better compatibility over the next 6 months to year with Steam games, or will it still be mostly for Android games and old system emulators?

Yes. 100% yes. Keep an eye on EmuReady.com also, there’ll be more and more compatibility reports for the Snapdragon Elite as the days and weeks pass, a good way to know if the PC games you love are running well. And you can always ask me to test out and try some games that you love most too, if you’d like!

Blaiz0r,

That’s great to hear because, well… I’ve just bought one.

I’m so glad to hear my review helped! Youre going to love the Odin 3!

Neps, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

Yep i used to a bunch in shooters, even helped develop some for Rianbow six siege and valorant, also cheated a bunch in Apex legends. Believe it or not most people cheat in comp shooters to fuck with other people or to boost their freinds, I’ve known pro players and ranked stars that loved to cheat heavily on alts just to troll or post dumb closet cheat kill montages. The market used to be a great way to make money, not so sure now though.

YiddishMcSquidish, do games w Do you cheat in video games?

I had a game genie for my nes. Highly recommended. But for modern games? Na. I’ll look up a boss if I’m having a hard time, but I don’t really feel the need to cheat, outside of carry limit on stalker.
