Son of Sam-I-Am posted:I would take a stealth remake of metroid 1 in the sense of BOTW being a stealth remake of zelda 1, that is, strip the premise down to the essence of what made it great, and then rebuild it from the foundation up without feeling like you're required to carry forward any specific prior conventions. that game was called super metroid and then they did it again and called it metroid prime actually yeah gently caress it, do it again

Phantasium posted:that game was called super metroid This was basically my train of thought too. I don’t trust them to make 3rd person Metroid of the Wild, they’d gently caress it up. In fact that’s probably what happened that required Retro to come back and rescue it.

Prime 2 is my favorite and it's a big pet peeve of mine when people say it's not good because of "the backtracking" like bub have you played a Metroid before

I think one thing that makes Prime 2 difficult to get a handle on is the way that Dark Aether has a very dim and very uniform aesthetic that makes it hard to get a sense of your location just from visual cues

Honestly, Metroid in a large open-world environment similar to Breath of the Wild would be boss. Hell, just send Samus Aran to Hyrule.

What did people not like about Metroid Prime 3? I never played it, but I heard that there were multiple planets to go between. That sounded really neat to me. I only played Metroid Prime 1, and I recall getting to some sort of long scavenger hunt section. I started having trouble knowing where to go at that point. Honestly, I found the game slightly overwhelming. I think I enjoy the backtracking structure more in the 2D Metroid games since they seem a bit smaller and more manageble. Did anyone else have the problem of getting lost and forgetting where things are? I really enjoyed a lot of aspects of the game, though.

Overall, I'd say Prime 2 to Prime 1 is pretty similar to the relationship between MM and OoT. Expanded on the engine but did some cool, interesting things with it.

I started to play a borrowed copy of it and honestly it wasn't bad, just a step too far away from 1 and 2. I think the solitary adventurer/scifi- detective-archaeologist aspect was lacking and that was just something I missed too much, even if it was sprinkled throughout the bits I played. Set pieces like the Ridley fight at the beginning were fun though! Anyway, I had to give it back too soon, then thought they would undoubtedly release a remastered version of the whole trilogy I could play through from start to finish and I have been waiting ever since

For example, the game has a perfect dodge move that looks and feels really cool to pull off. The problem? The sideways wiimote has no loving buttons on it so they had to map it to just pressing any directional button in a very large window before you get hit. No penalty for mashing either. So the dominant strategy in any fight is to just spin around like a maniac (which makes you completely invincible to any avoidable attack) until you happen to dodge something and then fire away.

Inferior Third Season posted:Absent-mindedly pulling out a bomb arrow on Death Mountain is easily in the top ten moments of BotW, so I endorse this idea. Top BotW moment for me was flying down from, I'm guessing it was dueling peaks. And it was night time and then I was about to land on some smaller peak and Farosh rose up in front of me (completely unexpected) and then I just landed and watched and it was all clear how good a game this was. The second top moment was probably seeing my first maze, viewed far ahead in the distance and that feeling of trepidation.

Same, also hookshitting (e: not correcting that) in battles sounds like a good setup for doing even more fun stuff with the fire mechanics and such.

Grappling hook seems way cooler than the hookshot. Give me those cool rope physics.

Grappling hooks will be able to tangle up their legs and trip them up. Link will be able to hog-tie enemies and drag them behind on his horse. You all know this would be amazing.

Do you all try to get all of the heart pieces in Zelda games? I've played most of the games, and never managed to find all of the heart pieces in any of them. I can find all the hearts in Zelda 1, but there's only a handful outside of dungeons anyway.

Link's Awakening is the only one I've 100%ed on my own, I think LttP and MM are the others I've found all the heart pieces for, maybe Ocarina.

I think I 100% finished Minish Cap because I always had it on me. Kind of an annoying one with all those figurines. Possibly ALttP too. After finishing a good one like BotW I’m usually more in to putting it down for a few months and starting over.

MM is the only game in the series i distinctly remember enjoying 100%-ing, and in fact I've done it multiple times. In most other games i don't find the scavenger hunt for heart pieces or other collectables du jour to be very interesting or entertaining. Like i do enjoy looking for them while going through the game but i usually don't have the motivation for a final cleanup to get everything i missed or couldn't access before.

Yeah, this is basically how I am. I enjoy exploring and looking for secrets, but rarely feel compelled to finish the task. I'm giving it a go with the Link's Awakening remake, but even in this somewhat small game, I'm losing motivation to track down the final few. Are heart pieces ever permanently "missable"? Like, are there any where you have to retrieve them at a certain moment in the game's story, and if you don't, you're out of luck?

Heart pieces aren't permanently missable, I'm pretty sure Zelda games generally don't do missable upgrades like that. That's why everyone was so mad that Minish Cap could lock you out of getting the Light Arrows. I think the only other exception is the OoT glitch where getting the Poacher's saw locks you out of a Deku Nut upgrade. There might also be something janky in the Oracle linked games, those got weird.

How'd Minish Cap lock you out of Light Arrows? I didn't play it much since I don't really like it, so I don't remember when you can or can't find them.

Give me a third person Metroid but have Platinum make it and it be a spiritual sequel to Vanquish with its combat, but then have exploration and world design a la Prime 1 with a lot of weird traversal stuff that's new like wall-running Titanfall 2 style poo poo on top of the spider ball, and some cool new poo poo like an upgrade that lets you run and fight on water but if you stop moving you fall through, so certain parts require you to keep chaining slides and dives and dashes and shooting pirates in the face across a long water segment to get to some area or secret, otherwise you fall into the water and have to do aerial Revengeance style combat underwater with a melee cutting blade and ZoE2 style Zero-G controls. Hell, have a few upper orbit/deep space zero-G segments where you need to navigate through weirdass poo poo with no gravity at relatively high speed while shooting Ridley in the dick as he both attacks you and also rips a fleet/space station or something apart and you're dodging the debris. Throw in some collection poo poo for resources so you can, say, upgrade certain beams or specific suits (and the suits are such that you need to actively switch between them vs linear replacements that get integrated over time, just to keep the fights interesting) and you could end up with some cool poo poo. But gently caress that ammo mechanic. Just have a recharging energy meter where rapid fire depletes it down and charged shots will eat up a chunk of it, but it will recharge over time or while you're doing sweet dashes and power slides and last minute perfect dodges.

I didn't play it much since I don't really like it, so I don't remember when you can or can't find them. iirc you have to do a Kinstone fusion at a specific point that lets you access the sky early to help an old man there, resulting in you getting gifted the Light Arrows later on. tbf neither the arrows or the mirror shield (which you can only get postgame) are particularly useful, they're basically easter eggs.
