What's mindblowing is that the director for Other M worked on Metroid, Super, and Fusion. Though there are a lot of similarities between Fusion and Other M in world design I just cannot believe he signed off on the story and Samus's character in Other M.

rediscover posted:Okay, I'll break it down for you, 6 year old retard child. Fusion as good movement, it feels good to run and jump and roll around as a ball, traversing the worlds in the game is satisfying. It's not as fun listening to the computer talk to you for 15 minutes before your allowed to go to the next part of the game. I think thats what In Training meant. Class dismissed. Yeah this. Thanks

You shouldn't have a text box in a Metroid game outside of the first screen when it says Emergency Beacon Received

I really dig Prime 2's world design, the first areas with the spiderweb bug wasteland and then the bog feel like they capture the organic vibe of Super Metroid pretty well. And the sky fortress owns of course. Something about the art design feels kinda off though, especially in the UI and some of the effects (the electricity/lightning when you crash in the beginning). It almost feels like a knockoff Metroid.

Super Metroid and Zero Mission and Prime (and probably even Metroid 2 but I've never played that) all did a really good job with the mood of utter isolation and solitude. Prime 2 put a mothman priest as the only other person on the planet which compromised that a little and then Prime 3 threw it completely out the window and the game is fine but it feels really weird to be Metroid. The feeling of isolation is important to Metroid, imo.

I wish Metroid Prime Pinball had more and larger tables, because it was a good game but it was weird that most tables were just a single loop and a lot of open space, and it would have been cool to see more levels.

The feeling of isolation is important to Metroid, imo. Maybe its because I played the series backwards (Prime/Fusion, then Super/Zero Mission), but I never really got that. Like, in Prime you don't have allies, but I never really felt isolated/alone, you're always reading research logs and you spend like a third of the game in labs/mining facilities. I guess it's just subjective whether you're just alone, or feeling a sense of isolation. I don't feel like the moth dude hanging out in his house interfered with anything. Pretty much everyone says what you're saying though so maybe I'm just overthinking it. I agree Prime 3 really hosed up the tone but for me that had more to do with your boss brain being really annoying and the stuff where you fight along the marines feeling really out of place like they were trying to cash in on Halo's popularity without really understanding it.

Metroid Prime Pinball was made by the same people who made the best original virtual pinball simulation ever, Pro Pinball.

Every time I replayed Prime I did it on Hard which I think was a mistake in hindsight and slightly ruined the experience because it doesn't really add much challenge, mostly it turns every enemy into an annoying bullet sponge. It really ruins the flow of traversing back and forth through the areas.

The feeling of isolation is important to Metroid, imo. Axiom Verge is on sale on steam right now. It does the really weird alien-world in complete isolation thing pretty well and pretty fair Super Metroid ripoff game. Kind of has some annoying bits about it but you might want to check it out. I would love an actual good new metroid on the wii u still.

not going to disagree since I liked it more in theory than actually playing it because I never finished it, but it did do the weird isolated alien world of a metroid game very well. probably would have been more better if it wasn't just made by 1 dude.

axiom devs: *forgoes interesting weapon upgrades that change the way your bullets work and improves them in a lot of ways for a weapon wheel and small flat damage upgrades that are totally separate* *cuts the flat damage upgrades into fractions so you may solve some huge puzzle just to find 1/5th of a tiny damage boost* e: *stuffs every interesting powerful weapon into the last 10% of the game*

I spent years reading Nintendo Power and begging my parents to let me sell the genesis to a pawn shop so I could buy a snes.
