My favorite Metroid is Guacamelee with a skin that turns the character into Samus.

Fusion feels too linear/I don't like that it locks you out of the other areas/they made walljumping bad/I don't care about adam

but I like the fusion suit and SA-X is cool

Super Metroid is one of those few games that really is a timeless classic. Impeccable controls, great level design, still very playable in 2017.

The adpocalypse happened because Disney sponsored Pewdiepie, Youtube was proud of having a popular star/mascot on their platform, then someone pointed out to both of them that he's actually a huge shitbird. Disney cut their ties to him and Youtube went one step further by implementing new tools in their ad services to allow ad buyers to exert more control over what sort of videos their ads get played in front of. This resulted in a lot of advertisers opting out of the edgier classifications favored by huge shitbirds and thus the revenue for those videos plummeting. It's sheer coincidence that a lot of gaming-oriented personalities are huge shitbirds.

Except that whole thing also affected non "huge shitbird" people as well. It was also lovely because it flagged for innocuous stuff like people doing a video talking about a news event being flagged as "inappropriate" (eg. a police shooting being talked about). That's kind of dumb and bad to have your system do. It also flagged people for video games stuff again, for innocuous reasons. Sure there were issues that needed addressing but the whole thing was so ham fisted by Google's incompetent coding that it did more harm than good.

Unless you think NerdCubed is a huge shitbird because of how he gets excited over Legos or something.

I can't stand Youtubers but that's a lot of crap and you know it. The ad-friendly stuff has been flagging all sorts of stuff just for violence and swears.

I mean, one of my Remember Me videos got flagged for "violence" because apparently the sci-fi game where you manipulate people's memories was too violent for YouTube's advertisers.

Even though the game was specifically designed around not being overly violent by Dontnod and there's little to any blood anywhere within the game. In fact you only incapacitate the baddies, you don't even kill them. :psyduck:

I like Prime 3 because it's like fake Halo. And it introduced God's control scheme to MP and allowed for the greatest release of all time, Prime Trilogy on Wii

The PC stuff was mostly fixed a long time ago, either way there's a demo so you can see for yourself.

Last I remembered there was a beta version on steam or whatever it was called and I still had memory leak issues. I'll give it another shot though since it was a long time ago now I guess.

I really like that you can constantly flip the visor up and down during cutscenes.


I like metroid games and I feel like they have a really good atmosphere most of the time. They do a great job of putting you in an alien world and just letting you explore around and take it all in and it's pretty swell.

I never played Federation Force, no desire to play it, but I really didn't like how they kept trying to push that Federation Force deserves to be a metroid game. It was like they completely misunderstood the criticism of the game's reveal and thought people were complaining about the story so they felt like they had to make sure people knew that the story proves why it is definitely a metroid game, as if the story has ever been the main draw of a metroid title.

I really don't know what the deal with that was. It really sticks out that they thought the problem was whether Federation Force "deserved" to be a metroid game or not, rather than the actual content of the game looking bad.

Ridley Scott will be the head writer for Metroid Prime 4.

He will finally reveal the origins of the Chozo and it will turn out they didn't create the Metroids after all, Ridley did.
