Great Mine: "Get in that hole!"

I started a new game (on "casual" mode) and played it to the first Maul Griever battle in the Great Mine with Duke and Armstrong. Normally, when the drill breaks through, I just jump in the hole, but I've always wondered what the game would do if I didn't jump. So this time I didn't and kept firing. The number of Grievers slowed but they kept coming and Duke started yelling stuff like: "Get in that hole!" "Hurry, they're still coming!" LOLOL It was hilarious!!

The Flaws of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Up front--I am a fan of Metroid Prime 4.  I like the game and have played it repeatedly since its release in December 2026.  I do acknowledge, however, that there are some aspects of the game play that could have been designed differently, and if I had the power of "Bewitched" or "Jeannie," I'd blink or twitch and have it play differently.

But for the past 8 months, the game has been roundly trashed as being "disappointing," "bad," "poor," "mediocre," "inferior," and "underwhelming."  I can understand, and to a point, agree with their use of these subjective terms--they're opinions.

But dispersed throughout its criticisms are words like "flawed," "blemished," "defective," and "imperfect."

A couple of questions:  what does "flawed" really mean?

Q1:  Can someone *objectively* provide a list the game's "flaws" or "defects?"  What are its quantifiable flaws weighed against all other Metroid game? I'm not looking for a list of "likes" or "dislikes," again, those are opinions. I'm seeking a list of what's "broken."

Q2:  In comparison, which Metroid game is objectively "flawless" or "perfect"--free from any defects in design, coding, game play, or storyboarding?

What does "flawed" mean???

Possible Hard Mode unlock bug when getting 100% scans on your first Standard playthrough?

I may have found a very specific endgame bug involving 100% scans and the Hard Mode unlock in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

This was my first playthrough, started on Standard difficulty. I collected 100% of the items and 100% of the scans.

After defeating the final boss, I reached the Mission Complete screen showing 100% items and 100% scans.

However, instead of getting the ending animation where Samus plants the seed, I got a black screen. After returning to the r u, Hard Mode was

still locked.I then reloaded the same save and fought the final boss again, but deliberately did not perform the two final scans, leaving me at 98% scans / 100% items.100% items + 98% scans → Hard Mode unlocked

Samus Shudder

When Samus receives the Psychic Grapple, she shoots a beam in the air, then finishes with a slight shoulder shudder that reminds me a little bit of that shoulder shuffle the Munchkins of the Lollipop Guild make as they welcome Dorothy. I call it the Samus Munchkin Shimmy.
