I'm one of the people who mostly isn't bothered by the artifact hunt, but this is still a really well-put analysis of its flaws and why. Really wish the development behind Prime wasn't such a tire fire. (And as I understand it, the development for Echoes was only marginally better.) Still an amazing and great game, but not the kind of absolutely excellent it could have been. Part of the reason I'm glad they're taking their time with 4.
I am 99% sure that Prime 4 is going to be a launch title for the successor to the Switch, and Im okay with that. Also yeah, Echoes was rough too, but I haven't heard much on that. Prime definitely gets talked about a lot more. Its still rough though, because Echoes sold less than half the copies that Prime 1 did.
Honestly I never saw this as an issue and i played MP back when it released in 2002. As a 12yr old i saw this game as an absolute win and it became one of my many video game addictions. I remember my one save (that i never deleted/overwritten) that i would load up (even after having beaten the game) and just roam the different locations drinking in the scenery and ambience of them. Some of my favorites being the Pirate bases in Phendrana and the Phazon Mines because of the opposition and challenge, but I always wished i could absorb and store Phazon and use it like in the final boss fight lol all that aside i didn't have a problem with finding the artifacts it was like a treasure hunt for things that were never too far away (especially if you were paying attention to the hints the statues gave) all in all i cannot give the artifact hunt a score because it's not that serious and i usually have them all by the time i get to the Artifact Temple. Now i will say that we were kinda robbed with MPR they could've made it a Remake that would complete the original game instead of a Remaster. I would love to see what the game could've been had the content not been dropped, but great video holmes you got a subscribe from me 😎
