Metroid Fusion was always one of my favorite metroid games and favorite gba games in general. I must say, good luck in sector 4 and watch out for any alternate path you can take as doing that will start to help by this point in the game.

Fusion was my introduction to the Metroid series; I've since played and enjoyed Zero Mission and Samus Returns. I'm not entirely sure whether I prefer this or Zero Mission. I also just finished watching your Symphony of the Night playthrough. I liked it quite a bit, though I'd advise you add episode 33 to the Youtube playlist.

I just noticed that the Fusion suit pulses. The blue stuff is living tissue. I'd always thought it was just some kind of synthetic rubber or something that was patching the gaps in the suit. I don't know why that surprises me, or why I didn't notice it before.

Your reactions had me grinning through the entire Serris fight, it's wonderful. It's worth noting that in general Samus takes a lot more damage in this game than others (perhaps due to the thinner suit), and you can't really face-tank the way you might expect. Super Metroid can give you some bad habits for this one.

There was a bit of desync in this. You seemed to say something a moment before something happened in the game. Got to love the first Serris reaction  .

One tip I should say that without x-ray visor, you can identify what kind of block a tile is just by using the morph ball bomb near it.

I think the emergency surgery where they literally ripped the suit parts off her to perform operations is to blame for the lowered durability, yeah. It’s at least a good enough explanation for me.

Combined with almost every enemy dropping health, you don't really notice how much you're taking until you face off with a boss that's actually a threat (Core Xs don't count there)

I'd always thought it was just some kind of synthetic rubber or something that was patching the gaps in the suit. Isn't the Power Suit itself techno-organic? I think they said something like that in those Nintendo Power comics, and the wiki says it connects itself to her biologically. TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Are you sure it isn't just Samus breathing? She had a similar idle animation in Super with bits of the suit moving slightly. Now that I'm paying attention to it for the first time, the blue sections around her torso seem to be pulsing with a greater capacity than if she was just breathing.

Seraphic Neoman posted:I guess there's really no reason I can't spell it out. When you get towards the end of the game, if you access any of the Nav/Data rooms that come up at the beginning of the sectors, it will lock you out of all the remaining sectors and funnel you into the endgame sequence. There is no indication or reason for this. The reason is the Fed's demand you be detained... and then you're on a narrative, though not mechanical, time limit to deal with the Station before the Feds get here its a narrative thing, and the whole beat is supposed to be a bit surprising. Once you beat the game, all the doors are unlocked again when you reload your save(alongside adding the Item Completion trackers to the map screen) and will only lock down again when you start the final boss sequence proper.

Last(?) hot Metroid take from me: the Speed Booster is a huge letdown. My memory of the 2D Metroid games that have it is that for every spot where you can just floor it and use the Speed Booster to flatten a bunch of enemies and/or speed up travel, there's two spots that are obnoxious platforming/environmental puzzles that require you to preserve a shinespark across some long distance.

This is a problem I have big time with the GBA Metroids and AM2R as well, they abuse the hell out of the Speed Booster as a puzzle device to the point that seeing Shinespark puzzles for items only succeeds in pissing me off. edit: I should clarify that the Speed Booster/Shinespark are inherently awesome power ups, but making a third of your game’s item pickups based around their use is excessive as gently caress. bladeworksmaster fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Oct 13, 2020 |

Man, that water section looked pretty. At the start of this LP, I wasn't expecting to actually like the graphics style. Compared to Super Metroid (and the original NES Metroid!) this seemed a bit too cartoonishly colourful and bright at first, but it's grown on me fast. One thing helping me warm up to this game is that it feels really tight in its controls. Even though I'm not the one playing and pushing the buttons, little things like being able to grab onto the ledges and stuff make it at least look like moving around is really smooth. That and the nice colourful look make this game just feel really nicely packaged and fun to play. I'm definitely more engaged watching this one than Super Metroid so far.

One stunning example imo is the evolution of the GBA Castlevania graphics. 2) Fusion genuinely feels incredible to play. Zero Mission is even more fluid, but both engines fit their level design incredibly well (ZM being built with sequence breaks in minds goes hand in hand with it allowing infinite bomb jumps and single-wall wall jumps, for instance).
