Yeah its pretty good. Found another lame mechanic though, you can't IBJ in water. There's diminishing returns on the bounce height and then if you get too high its just prevents you from dropping any more bombs :/

That's always been a thing even in super metroid/zero mission. Usually you can do it once you have the grav suit tho.

edit: in Zero mission you couldn't even bomb jump in water at all till you had the grav suit which is why they had to make little ledges you could jump to in some of the earlier water sections. It was way lame.

In Metroid: Other M, Samus states that her use of the thumbs-down—the opposite of the usually-accepted thumbs-up—was a twofold response: that she completely understood the mission orders ("no objections"), but would not be derided by being called a lady.

I went from 50% to 92% in about an hour once i did a sweep with all the powerups available at the start of area 7. Felt pretty awesome.

Never forget.

I still can't get over the wall jump in this game being the fusion one when the spiderball is like the 2nd powerup that you get. I don't understand it at all. That turns me off more than anything else really.

You got the spider ball way too early in the original too. Who knows, man.

Some of the backgrounds in this game are really beautiful and show up for like one room. The 3d in particular looks amazing, it's the first game where I actually leave it on all the time

There's one room where I was like wait why is the mountain in the background moving and then it peaked out enough that I could see a giant one eyed monster and that mountain was its shell.

Yeah!! Stuff crumbles in the background a lot on revisiting and such, it's cool. I also like that this game incorporates the one good idea fusion had by having its own version of "running from SA-X"

I dunno how the map is compared to original 2 but you got the spider ball really early in that game too and it served as the "wall jump" in that game. A spider ball that can go on anything almost beats wal jumping

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

one of the nice things they changed is that in a lot of the pre-space jump areas that have big caverns they put a little spike or some impassible object on a wal so you dont try to just slowly roll around the entire room because it turns out theres no thing ever up there anyway. so it saves you time and effort
