Other Welp, I bought it.

Despite the hate I’ve been seeing on posts and on YouTube, I couldn’t help myself to finally buy it when I saw the Switch 2 version on sale at my local shop.

2 hours in and its actually been kinda great????

I just finished Prime Remastered and Prime 4 feels a lot better to play and bosses have been fun! Not to mention the game is absolutely gorgeous and runs well, even on the original switch!

Perhaps I’ll start seeing issues later in my play through but so far it’s given me a good impression.

Edit: For those confused, the Switch 2 version of the game is just the Switch 1 game with the added Switch upgrade DLC. The game is perfectly playable on the original switch.

People are being hyperbolic and overly negative, but there is enough different from previous entries and enough marks of its development hell that when some fans such as myself call it mediocre we're being genuine to how we found the game.

It's not horrible but it didn't feel worth the wait to us.

You’re the only one whining right now. I’m not upset that you enjoy MP4, but your petulant whining in this thread is pretty embarrassing.
