When it has the target following you, shoot missiles at its tail until you have to move, then space jump somewhere safe. When it does the multiple targets, space jump over it and shoot missiles at its tail. I think you are thinking of a different boss. The one i'm talking about flied around.

That's kind of my problem, though - every time there's a stand out song, it's because it's a rearrangement of an existing song that was already good. All of the new and original stuff is just kinda... bleh.

I’m suprised people are struggling with him. He has very, very little health. Though a lot of bosses end way more quickly than I thought they were

Blaziken386 posted:New abilities would be great, though I'm not sure how many there could be? Most of them are based on movement, after all. 1 is especially disappointing since you only use the actual freezing part of the ice missiles exactly once. Every other time they're just to break arbitrary ice missile barriers. The fact that they're ice basically never matters. I was also hoping for like a fire upgrade that would melt ice, but instead they just removed all ice from the game after you kill a boss.

Am I supposed to have the anti freeze suit before fighting the blue ice EMMI? It just keeps freezing me every time I try to charge.

ninjoatse.cx posted:(boss spoiler) I just rewatched he Kraig death scene on youtube, and it doesn't show how he dies. You blast him in the mouth a bunch of times, and then he just sinks into the lava, while very much alive and kicking... and the lava was always there? Not really seeing where the fatal blow was since he's still going strong after you blast him in the mouth a bunch of times. Maybe he's just escaping? DLC incoming I found it an homage to Crocomire in Super Metroid especially with him surfacing a few times before disappearing. Sad we didn't get a skeleton kraid smashing through a wall or something.

The fact that they're ice basically never matters. You can freeze enemies with them, then smash 'em apart with a melee attack. Super handy for some of the beefier enemies that normally require counters for quick kills.

So how do you reliably double jump? I'll hold the stick in the same direction and hit the button twice sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

You can only activate the spin/space jump just after you start descending from your first jump arc.

I was going to respond by saying "Didn't Prime 3 sell about 4 million copies" but it turns out I misremembered in a big way, since it never even cracked two million. Either way I hope Metroid Dread does massive numbers because I would love to see the Metroid franchise be as prolific was it as in the GBA/Gamecube era again.

The underwater boss didn't give me as much trouble as I thought it would. It took me a minute to notice there's two buttons to hit though. I couldn't dodge the twisted tentacle attack, I was just lucky to have enough health to tank it.

samus returns was a late system release that nintendo didnt advertise and sold poorly because of it. it actually sold better when Dread was announced and people became curious about the older metroid games and started buying them on the eshop lol

Nintendo didn't even announce Samus Returns on the Direct at that E3 but instead on the Treehouse stream afterwards after most people had stopped watching because that wanted the Direct to be entirely Switch games for some reason. Putting one or two 3DS games in it wouldn't have hurt.

the main problem i had with the final boss was the second phase which is just a drag since i had trouble finding openings to do damage. it's really attritional too, unless i'm missing something it didn't have any openings for counter heals. the last phase is just a harder first phase and isn't that bad

The last boss's flight phase is super dull and lasts too long. The ground phases are all more entertaining.

Yeah, the fact that you could get back to back "jump around them" attacks on the air phase is pretty annoying. But I really don't like the three hit melee attack on the ground phase, it's just really easy to get stuck in, and i was kind bad about telling it apart from the other attacks I could counter. The air phase feels like it just has way better telegraphing/readability.

I was pretty sour on this game from the intro, mostly getting frustrated with the railroading. Right around Kraid I think my opinion flipped, and now having released the X I'm all in, this game is extremely good.
