"I probably would have liked Federal Forces if it was released 2 years after a well-received mainline Metroid game. But it was released 8 years after a well-received mainline Metroid game, so I hate it."Our "dislike" of the game is not based on its existence. Please see this here:

Tl;DR:
The gap between Prime 2 and Prime 3 was 2 years, with Prime Pinball and Hunters during that period. 2 YEARS. I love a good spinoff game (Hunters was my second DS game); I'm sure I would even enjoy Federation Force. However, the time since the last UNIVERSAlLY HAILED Metroid game (Prime 3) has been OVER 8 YEARS. If you count Other M, it's been 5, but many do not. If Federation Force and Prime Hunters had swapped releases, everyone would be angry at Hunters, even though everyone likes it as a game (including us).
Do you people not realize how mind-numblingly ****ing stupid this sounds?
