Just saw this GG. Here's hoping everything will go well for her and she's home before the new year.

Damn. Vince Zampella, the once boss of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 and 2, and now Battlefield 6 has died in a car crash.

I completed Metroid Prime 4.

Needed something to distract me. I think they are clearly setting up for Prime 5 by the ending.

I think I'd give it an 8.5

I have no problem saying it's the worst Prime game, but its still a good game by any other standard.

I find at its best is when you try and find all the power ups. When you notice a subtle visual cue and work out how to get there. That's where that classic Prime gameplay gets to shine. Mostly its those more complex morph ball routes and puzzles.

Don't stop playing after the credits roll. Finding those power ups really also gets you to explore and appreciate the level design.

Also finally managed to calibrated HDR properly on the tv. And woooooow wtf, Prime 4 looks virtually like a different game and so cinematic its almost like an instant graphical remake.

So it's not switch 2s fault for bad HDR, its the display youre using and how its configured.

I did the most simple thing of using game mode and setting HDR to basic.

If you don't do this the next setting work work properly:

Then I configured switch 2 twin suns brightness as instructed. Then turned the brightness to 4 clicks from far left on the Mario wonder screen.

Then I turned HDR back to advanced. Looks incredible.

Finding the power ups was one of my favorite parts. There were some cool spider ball moments. Cyberpunk is now $70 again.

I liked the fishing but not the restaurant aspects.

When you're not being sheparded about in a linear fashion, going back and navigating and searching and finding, it does become that maze like experience you have to figure out. Ice belt is far more complex when you go back to find everything.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

Hey, Nintendo! Switch 2 has mouse controls, so it's time to release Kirby and the Rainbow Curse from its Wii U grave and give it the full 4K Switch too treatment.

Thanks for asking guys.

She's being discharged for Christmas. She needs an operation in 8 weeks as they found other areas blocked. She's a hard smoker and not exactly a healthy eater.

I got 100% items today.

When you're playing post credits is the best, its that traditional prime experience, squinting at your map, finding secrets and working out ways to navigate these environments I at first thought were linear.

Whilst I don't mind the voice acting and story bits, the after credits silence and exploration does feel "Miles" better.

I think they could even fairly easily patch the game for people who want a more solitary experience.

Given the ending, does it lend credibility to those Prime 5 rumours? Game concept split into two games, being co-developed?
