Bobnumerotres posted:very few games hold a candle 2 the holy grail of gaming that is MP1. MP2 is good but full of weird poo poo like dumbass backtracking segments, and while the music is really good the areas are devoid of life or anything interesting until like the last 30% of the game when you get to the ghost in the shell cyberpunk city i liked the cyberpunk place in 3

Prime 3 has one of the best moments in the series when you listen to the Aura Unit log where it gets taken over by phaze. The whole derelict cruiser part was tense

MP3 gets unfairly shat on. It could do without a lot of the dumb talky/story bits and it's pretty linear but it has some really fun fights and set pieces

All 3 Primes have a ton of backtracking, and it only really bothers me in 3 because of the ship cutscenes. The Sky Temple key quest is exactly the same as the Artifact quest in 1, down to the fact that you can pick most of the keys/artifacts way before you need them. Hell, I enjoy both quests because they test your knowledge of the game world. Treasure hunting is fun.

MP1: +nearly the perfect video game -its really easy once you figure out all the enemies and bosses are dumb as hell, there are some spots that still gently caress me up to this day though MP2: +a lot harder than MP1 +sky sanctuary loving rules +some of the sickest boss fights in gaming -first half of the game is p dull -dumb fetch quest thrown in the middle of the final act MP3: +beautiful +best game combat-wise -constant nagging -big load times - elysia is the worst area to explore in any metroid game, its built like a loving maze and even the map is confusing

Quadraxis fight is cool. And the cutscene leading up to the last dark samus fight is on of the sickest moments in games

I probably missed something but when I was hunting down Sky Temple keys I didn't see any indication of which clues I already had the keys for, except by writing down the weirdo mothman names and cross-referencing those with my inventory. Or something like that, it was notetaking and a lot of menu navigation. Otherwise I didn't mind the key/artifact hunts but they definitely weren't my favorite parts either.Bobnumerotres posted:the final upgrade, on top of being a really badass suit, lets you teleport between the worlds

metroid prime 2 was cool but getting so damaged in the dark world didn't allow me to explore it properly for the first half of the game at least, and I like taking my time to explore and enjoy the surroundings in the Metroid Prime series

my favorite moment out of all the primes is when you walk out into the sunlight in the middle of the hidden pirate base in MP1 and get attacked by jetpack troops for the first time, and its just a gauntlet w/ waves and waves of pirates with that awesome pirate theme blaring, everything blowing up and full of lasers. it really looked spectacular in 02 and its still awesome

I've heard people complain about the dark world just being lazy level design but I liked it a lot, I get lost easily when exploring so it was helpful and fun to be like, "oh this is the same as the other room... but the platform is gone this time. Hmm..!" Instead of "Well here is a completely new room, where am I supposed to go first?' all the time.

This music used to freak me out so hard. I played prime 1 on a little tv in my room that was kinda too dark so some of the areas in drifts were scary. Whenever the little intro hit I would always get scared lol

i played prime 2 for the first time this year on the wii u and i liked it more than i was expecting having heard people talk about it before. i thought it was kool that it felt distinct from the first prime in terms of how the beam upgrades work, light + dark world and a way better scanning system. mind you the overall level design made backtracking later through the game more of an annoyance, it felt like the first prime had better areas for getting from one spot to the other quickly imo. ive played prime 1 twice this year, with a 100% on my gc copy. started 3 twice but i can't really get into it quite yet for some reason.
