Ursine Catastrophe posted:what is this privileged poo poo, she can't afford to have a spare screw attack laying around on a bounty hunter's salary, she already has to scrounge for them secondhand picking them off dead chozo Man, can you imagine how much Samus got paid for this mission? Planet possibly infested with civilization destroying John Carpenter Thing Parasites that can assimilate any organic matter, and she's the only person in the known cosmos who has immunity? There's not gonna be competition for this contract, there is no lower bidder here. Like they TRIED to not have to call her for this, they sent the (probably really expensive) inorganic robots to scout the place out, and they all went dark anyway. No wonder they kinda forgot about the whole "wanted by the Federation for blowing up their assets in Fusion" thing, a full pardon was probably part of the price tag for this boondoggle. After this, you can bet she's stocking a couple extra Screw Attack mods on the ship just in case. She can afford it.

Ha, got the "unknown item found". Look, not my fault it was in a ridiculously easy spot in Artaria Edit: And another one right after it after riding an elevator. If the only thing blocking me was a grapple missile block, I'm gonna pick it up Endymion FRS MK1 fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Oct 9, 2021 |

thank you, friends, for helping to save my marriage. I'm out of the house now (counseling) but when I return I'll see if that's indeed the right area or if my map was just pulled down too far to show it

Hmm I am now three areas in and I can’t help but feel I am making really incredible progress, the trouble is that so many of the previous areas have a lot of hazard rooms and tiny holes I can’t access without being able to roll into a ball… also backtracking is quite difficult, I hope I’ll be able to have an easier time going back and that I’m not accidentally making progress and soft locking myself out of all the previous areas

Yay I beat it! 100% in a little over 10 hours, and it was great all the way through. Loved every boss (especially since they all killed me a good few times), liked the EMMIs, and only got really stuck one time. Solving Shinespark puzzles is one of the most powerful feelings in video games

Wait you can get bombs before Kraid? drat, I got them right after, using a path that unlocked. Also, I love the speedbooster mechanic where you can continue your speed by wall jumping and then go the opposite direction.

Haven’t played a Metroid game since the first Prime. This is awesome. Exactly what I want out of a 2d Metroid. What’s the status of Motherbrain in this universe? Because the central control units are really Motherbrainy.

Mother Brain is hyper dead, but MB was originally a rather early example of Chozo making an advanced AI (which is why it was mostly biological) but the Space Pirates found a way to kind of hi-jack her and use MB to run their main base on Zebes from within Tourian. The fact that MB was originally Chozo tech should be a big clue as to what's going on with the Central Control Units.

I've taken down the second EMMI and I'm digging the game, though often feel lost. The map feels very complex and navigating one way pathways is making my brain hurt a bit. That said, it's definitely Metroid and I'm loving the fact I'm playing a brand new 2D metroid in the year of our lord two thousand twenty one.

As I approach what I believe is the end of the game I think I can safely conclude that the developers understood Fusion at a fundamental level and created a game with Samus Returns' body and Fusion's soul. Fusion is my favorite of the Metroids so this strongly endears it to me.

They did want to do a Fusion remake for the 3DS, but Nintendo decided on remaking Metroid 2.

the robot soldiers are so much fun to fight the bosses/minibosses in this game are a huge step up over the rest of the franchise. especially surprising because the boss fights in Return of Samus sucked post screw attack spoilers: the way they reimagined the aspect of the X from Fusion where floating X could upgrade enemies into stronger versions is really cool. I just fought a normal enemy that upgraded into a stronger form when I killed it and then when I killed that it upgraded into a full-on miniboss Augus fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Oct 9, 2021 |

The flash-shift dash-thing is cool and they didnt telegraph its existence too much so it was a surprise when i got it. feels great to use and when they said it drains your aeion energy or whatever i was dreading it. but it charges way faster then using the cloak.
