Personally, (I am going to take flak for this I am sure), but I think the game is deserving of such a fate. I bought the game out of hype, but I still haven't finished it. I just got bored with it after a while, and played Resident Evil 0 instead (A much better game), as I had bought the two games on the same day.
Now don't get me wrong. I still think the game is deserving of praise, as it is a genre defining game, and is executed with perfection. However, the game simply bores me.... I don't know why. I can't keep my interest in it long enough to play it more than an hour or so.

Both of these games have serious problems.
Despite being one of the best games i've ever played, Prime is just too boring.
and the drop/pickup system totally ruined re0. I just realized that a spend more time just carrying items around making trips back and forth to bring all my stuff to the next are than i spend actually playing the game. Other than that its a good game from what i've seen. I might beat it someday, but I just can't take it any more for now.

Hehe... I didn't bother doing that. I just kept little piles of stuff I needed here and there. It would sometimes backfire and I would have to walk a million freaking miles to pickup the shotgun I left at the beginning of the game.... but it wasn't that bad. The only thing that I kept having to go back for because I didn't think I would need it again is the hookshot... That thing should be abolished I tell ya.
Actually, I did sometimes just leave big items behind permanently though. There was one time I got trapped in the bathroom by a Marcus Zombie... I emptied the last of my shotgun shells in him, dropped the shotgun, picked up a couple of green herbs on the floor, and ran. I never went back into the room again, and the shotgun remains there to this day.
The game is seriously a 10/10 in my books though, slight gameplay problems be damned. It's my favorite Resident Evil.

Say rather you enjyoed RE0 more, because there's no way RE0 is better amde than Metroid Prime. Even if you thought it was boring, which is perfectly fine, you have to admit it was very well made but just wasn't interesting to you. I got kinda bored with Pikmin and Animal Crossing, but both are MUCH better made than JKII for my Gamecube, which I've played much more.

I agree, Prime is brutally boring. I cant stand all the scanning, its like reading the damn paper, and I do enough of that at work.
I also think this game was sold and pegged as great by many simply on hype.
