Sure are a lot of wrong people in this thread thinking Zero Mission is better than Metroid: Fusion, AKA the best 2D Metroid.

Kirios
Jan 26, 2010




The best part about the 3DS game is it showed how lovely and janky the fanmake was.

Kirios

Sure.

* I loved the story behind Metroid Fusion and think it's a great way to extend the franchise. I wish they'd do more chronologically past it!
* SA-X is the best enemy in the series.
* It has the best bosses in the game. Nightmare especially is a standout.
* There's an actual narrative throughout the entire game. It holds your hands through two thirds of it but I enjoyed having it.
* It's actually a pretty tense game! I wouldn't call it scary but it definitely has a feeling to the game that is simply not replicated anywhere else. A large part of that is because...
* The music is great and my favorite of the series besides Prime 1 (Which is my favorite Metroid).
* The other 2D Metroids are extremely similar in terms of scope and feel. Fusion's the only one that really stands on its own as doing something different with the franchise. And I really appreciated that about it.

Edit: Please, these aren't hard games. "Having your hand held" is something that doesn't bother me because it opens itself up just like any other Metroid, except now you get a pretty interesting story with tense moments!

Also Batman: Arkham Asylum is the best Metroidvania.

Kirios
Jan 26, 2010




I guess but god drat they're so good. And another good point was brought up, Metroid Fusion's probably the hardest of the 2D Metroids, despite being "hand holdy." I remember Gedo X being able to wreck your poo poo if you weren't used to the pattern. Same with Serris, which is another standout boss.

It's a creepy game with the parasites, and again, no other 2D Metroid comes close to this feeling.

Yeah, seriously, good for him, I'm glad he leveraged it into a career.

It's still the inferior game and is clearly made by one person reusing a lot of assets. Calm down Augus.

DLC Inc posted:

saying the Nightmare boss in Fusion was a "standout" is still blowing my mind. Big loving sprite that takes up half the screen and moves around in a bullshit pattern as you wind down into a war of attrition with it, taking unavoidable damage.

Fusion is a great game but kind of a bad "Metroid game" since it does away with most of the series staples i.e. a sense of isolation, freedom of exploration, optional items but it's still a nice twist on the formula with the Alien kick and "action movie" feel. SA-X is a cool plot device. Fusion was actually the first Metroid game I played so it's a nice gateway towards Super/Zero Mission.

Nightmare does not have any unavoidable damage. It's just a really difficult, well designed boss fight. It's one of the 5 or so most memorable boss fights in all of Metroid for a reason.

Also, calm down KingSlime.

homeless snail posted:

Yeah absolutely, use the grim scythe/skeletal mage runes that up your attack speed, get some life steal on it. The season's set will give you 50% damage reduction most of the time, but even with a lot of armor sometimes you'll have to fall back and let your minions take care of the harder elites. I'm on torment 8 with essentially that build right now.

This is exactly what I was thinking - thanks!

Your Computer posted:

So I've been playing Diablo 3 on the Switch and it's fun but man, it's definitely a different game from what I remember. Everything feels a lot more fast and loose.

I feel like you kinda have to go around one-shotting everything because getting hit even once knocks off like half your HP? And it's not like it's easy to dodge when there's so much going on at once. Maybe I've just been bad about picking my armor, it's hard to keep track of with the inventory screen on this and the sheer amount of crap you get now.

This all sounds awesome though?

XB2 is...fine. I was personally kind of disappointed by it. XB1 is a far superior game to me. It's a pretty damning indictment if the DLC is far superior to the base game (And it is, I thought the DLC was pretty good!).

Now Octopath, that's a hell of a game. If you're gonna get one JRPG on the Switch, absolutely get that one instead.

Kirios
Jan 26, 2010




People will swear up and down you need one but I've had a Switch since launch and have had no issues with scratches on the screen. It's fine, you don't need one at all. I definitely agree, it changes how the screen "looks", which is more of a deal breaker for me.

Well, they managed to hit the price point I was looking for with Starlink. Guess I own the game now?

File me into the disappointed with Wargroove group. The maps feel...very underwhelming compared to AW. The entire ~45 minutes or so I played of it just made me want to play an Advance Wars game instead.
