YIKES Stay Gooned posted:Metroid is nintendo's best franchise. Here's my list: Prime > Zero Mission > Super > Fusion > Prime 2 > Prime 3 > Metroid > Metroid 2 >>>>>>>>> other M, IMO i dont know, ZM clicked with me the most out of any 2D metroid. prime 3 was really pretty and had cool fights and was probably my favorite wii game, but metroid prime 2 nailed the feeling of isolation and running around creepy places and poo poo which is more important to me than the stupid space marine thing prime 3 went with

Acquire Currency! posted:Only prolly with the prime trilogy is that prime 1 and 2's particle effects look better on game cube. Don't ask me how the gently caress that happened just keep playing metroid prime cause it's loving powerful the issue is with metroid prime 2, some of the charge beam effects are hosed up. the water distortion effects in MP1 were also removed, since in the port all 3 games are running on the Mp3 engine and mp3's water physics are more complex (it was all fuel gel and poo poo) and caused all sorts of performance issues. but, there's neon bloom in all the right places for MP1 and both games run/load a lot better so whatevs. i just wish mp2 also got the bloom treatment

YIKES Stay Gooned posted:Prime 1 still looks fantastic, and its because of the area aesthetics and the monster designs. Super metroid still looks great. I dont want something with insane graphics, I just want something. Anything! they're working on a 3D one for the wiiu and a 2D one for the 3ds. it has already been written. we will probably find out more about it this year's E3.

Anime Curator posted:yeah yeah I'll believe it when I see it bud quote:Takahashi then shared some tantalizing information: "So it has been a while since we released the last one and we're having discussions internally about what we can do next. So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games. We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future we'll be able to share something about them."

i liked the ammo because it balanced out the other beams being so powerful. in MP1 you got the plasma beam and there was no reason to use anything else except on doors and the pirate elites. what mp3 did with beams is good on paper but in practice it sucked. it just took too long to get upgrades, you're on the default power beam for half the game and then the plasma beam is an extremely mild upgrade. then at the very end you get a murder cannon that can one/two shot the hardest enemies

yeah a really annoying thing about prime 2 was how much you were forced to watch cutscenes and poo poo and story exposure in order to get the stupid color-coded door upgrade i guess no one at retro realized that what made prime 1 so good was the feeling of isolation and that you were just exploring this living breathing world that was being hosed by the space pirates and prime, prime 2 had story exposure and cutscenes and poo poo and prime 3 just went full on SAMUS YOU NEED TO HERE NOW SAMUS THERE IS A DISTRESS SIGNAL ugh i guess they did it to appeal to japan who likes that poo poo but they clearly dont give a poo poo about metroid at all so who cares

coincidentally the prime series has the same exact problem the souls series had, as the gameplay and visuals improved the overall feel of the game, story, immersion etc. went to poo poo

i like the artifact/key/powercell hunting in all the primes. it makes backtracking for all the upgrades you missed feel like part of the main quest instead of just dicking around and postponing the final fight. one of my favorite games, ZM, did this in the worst way because you get several major upgrades like 1 minute before the final boss and you're expected to re-track the whole game world just because. i mean all the puzzles they hid behind areas only accessible to the gravity suit and space jump and poo poo were really awesome but drat did that feel awkward

also really love the light suit. the dark suit looks cool but it also has this clunky built-out-of-necessity look to it, whereas the lightsuit slims you down and is all smooth and poo poo because it's this super high-tech chozo/luminoth fusion of tech. being impervious to all dark stuff as a final upgrade was really neat, too.

i liked the idea of ing being corrupted by your upgrades and using them against you, it was cool to have your own power bombs thrown at you and stuff like that. dark-infected enemies were cool as hell too. it's too bad that dark commandos are all you loving see after a while and they're never worth the fight. one of the weak points of the game for me tbh, especially when the regular pirate commandos were really fun and crazy but you only fight like 6 total in the game.

Doctor Goat posted:the dark beam is sick as hell but it's also rarely useful and that's a shame the dark beam murdered everything that wasn't classified as a "dark" enemy, which includes dark samus (to tell you it was metroid prime). it also froze the hardest normal enemies and let you shatter them with missiles. the annihilator beam was good but it wasn't as good as light on dark or dark on light so there was never a situation where you would use it over them. it was a loving boss killer though, totally shreds emperor ing.

this thread made me want to replay the primes but i quickly realized i know the games by heart so there's not a lot of fun in doing that. ive just played them to death tbh the giant slow intro on prime 3 that lasts 2 loving hours doesnt help either. i dont understand why theres no option to just skip it and start on bryyo

sheegoth is way better if you know the missile quickfire trick. it's really easy. launch missile, press beam button to reset it, launch missile again. actually this makes like the entire first half of the game a breeze
