I'm saving my Humble Bundle retail key for within thirty days of the F2P transition date because if I have an active subscription, I'll get some extra stuff.

If you missed out on launch but you’re a current subscriber and maintain your subscription through transition to Free-to-Play, you will still receive the DJ Caretaker housing décor item, the Disco Snoglug companion pet, the new housing music track, four months of Signature service, and the "Nexus Loyalist" title.

Ehh. Never really sat down and played it. What makes everyone go crazy over it compared to say mega man or Mario 2d side scroller? I had lots of fun with mega man as a kid. Getting all the different power ups was fun.

Super metroid is a really tight game with a lot of clever exploration and fun bosses and weird goopy alien poo poo. It's a really somber game too which is pretty neat compared to most other games like it.

Play the prime trilogy on dolphin instead, you can hack it to play as a standard mouse and keyboard shooter!

Dolphin is awesome and I will have to try this; I've been getting my prime trilogy fix on the wii u since they dropped it for like 10 bucks awhile back. Kbm sounds way better than wii mote controls and it would let me use dolphin for something other than TTYD (another good single player game for that guy asking about good ones).

The super metroid randomizer romhack is also really fun and it's a testament to the map design how well the game works and how much fun it becomes when they power ups change.

Lesser games would fall apart if that happened. This is also why megaman was cool; you could do the stages in any order because by and large even though power ups made the game easier in some ways you could always use your trusty blaster/buster to kill all the bosses (there's a fun weekend run idea there).

They're having to do a goddamn beta to test the F2P whereas every other game that made the switch just went "here ya go". I hope the beta bullshit is them trying to covertly squash some long standing problems with the code and not just them being too incompetent to throw together a drat cash shop, but it's probably the latter.

And to think, WS and ESO were neck and neck for the award of worst MMO of 2014. ESO still isn't great, but it's miles above WS.

Just tried it using a Wii disc image and had no problems

E: by it I mean the trilogy disc image

Also lol @ whoever spent 10 dollars trying to change my AV earlier for some weird reason. That's close to 200 dollars by now and at this point someone should just send me the money so I can buy cool gaming related stuff instead of buying me red text AV's that I won't pay myself to have reverted.

Its actually easier to CQC her than to shoot her. Even though you can roll around like a moron and hide in the grass.

My favorite thing is blowing up the food storage rooms. All the guards are going to be hungry in the surrounding areas. You can catch a poisonous frog and throw it near them, they will eat it and die.

You can also blow up the armory store rooms and the guards have less ammo.

What's wrong with beta testing the cash shop/F2P transition? I'd actually prefer that because they'd get feedback before it's too late.

There are some bugs I reported in the fnf alpha that seem to still exist now. Their QA department is far smaller now than it was then too.
