i think i need to play metroid prime after i finish this because it's very possible that dread might displace it as the 2nd best game in the series behind Super. i dont fully think its better but it just might be.

i would rank them as follows: prime, zero mission, dread, super, fusion, samus returns, 2, 1. prime 2 and 3 are not listed because that would make ranking them all more difficult.

theres a lot of old out of touch game developers that are still like hanging around being stupid these days, your cliffy b's and whatnot, but i don't think any of them are as completely fuckin washed up as david jaffe lol

prime 2 isnt a bad game but it has a very uneven difficulty curve that can take you by surprise especially the bosses who range from really easy to some of the hardest bosses in the series.

as a real, true metroid head, i hate it because it has bottomless pits and beam ammo. but it is really good

prime 1 & 2 FTW.

prime 3 has some of the best fights in the series in it and the space pirate base owns, but it also has some of the worst slogs and constant codec calls telling you what to do that you can't turn off

As someone who has been a massive fan of the metroid series for many years, its preposterous for the devs to assume that a player would attempt to discover a hidden path upon meeting a dead end.

The two things i remembered from 3 are all the switches and dials you could use the wiimote to interact with and how you could just hang out inside the ship and press buttons, and i also remember the steampunk world with the bioshock infinite rails and lovely robots that would melt after you shoot them with the plasma beam one time.
