Yeah literally the only limit to missiles is how many you can hold at a time.

Like when I beat Ridley as a kid I didn’t actually have enough misslrs to kill him

8 is a "the reviewer got stuck and thinks the game is too hard"

I actually went and read the review and it’s was mostly positive like they only had one real complaint so I think Gamespot just used a real rating system?

I’ve heard a lot of things about reviewers but never have I heard reviewers called fast.

If anything you should cut some time because they are annoyingly slow

I do think it’s fair to point out I doubt most people are gonna replay dread or any metriod.

At least replay it more than like any other game

granted, i haven't played the game but getting 52% completion sounds kinda like buzzing from main point to main point. a lot of the non-linear parts of the game come from going for 100% or exploiting skips.

I mean the same could be said for Fusion but people dig it for being linear

NGL I've been playing for about an hour and I just think the EMMIs are a bit loving lame? It's just an annoyance more than anything I'm finding.

Edit: reading back a bit it seems a lot of other people have the same thought

They are, without any real consequence you have to make your own tension. Which some seem able to do but I can’t really do it

its kind of a pain in the rear end to get around collecting things at the end of the game thanks to their habit of permanently closing passageways behind you, and the teleports aren't really distributed in a way that makes any sense

The teleports aren’t really fast travel they are more designed points so you can keep progressing

Tbh Fusion, Super and Zero Mission are all fine as they are and don't need remaking - and we have AM2R so there's no need to redo Samus Returns on a real console. I'd much rather the series continue than remake the old ones.

Just port them all onto Switch.

I mean the amount of people who play fan games are pretty small

I just beat the final boss and honestly once you learn the gimmicks it’s real easy.

Especially as the first and final phase had 90% the same move set.

The only problem I had was the sun in phase 3 but power bombs one shot it

Neither can the final boss for that matter.

I liked the SA-X AND the no armor Space Pirate section from Zero Mission better than Dreads stealth. Probably because I immediately played those sections in Dread like the other ones where I always just ran full speed, AND they give you invisibility on top of everything to help you if you screw up.

I forgot about no armor that’s the best version actually

The last boss is a real pain, huh

In the first phase what gets me is his fill-the-room- attack if you are too far, and he follows it with the three hit combo, which corners me quite often. Pretty hard to escape. I guess when his aura shifts it's just a matter of waiting out the melee counter.

Made it to the second phase a few times, but the bullet storm attack gets me every time. I'm basically trying to circle around him just to avoid the damage.

Circling around him with the strew attack works yeah.

Also you can counter the full room attack which makes the fight go really quick

So, any pointers for the final boss?

So far it feels like a bit of a chore to fight. I thought I'd gotten through his first phase when he fired up the invulnerability but nope, that's still phase 1.

Took me ages to get by it and then the fucker starts flying about and bam, back to square 1.

Is there a way to make him trigger the counter move to get him out of his invulnerable state?

I pretty much had the rest of his attacks in that phase memorised so wasn't actually taking any damage, nor was I dealing any.

Put a lot of distance and he will do the full screen charge. Easy to counter that move.

The second phase is easy with some screw attack to circle him

Aha, I saw him do that cross screen lunge a lot. So the trick is to counter that rather than the taunt.

As for the second stage, you're basically saying to treat it like sonic the hedgehog rather than shoot missiles at him?

Nah you shoot him once he’s done his attack motion

Charge up the storm middles and wait until he’s run himself out.

You don’t really need to be aggressive on form 2.
