There was once or twice I had to just go around shooting every single wall. But it wasn't that often and there was usually a hint that something was beyond the wall.

mastajake posted:When it is walking towards you back up to the wall, then shoot a missle and slide under it when it raises up. When it has the target following you, shoot missiles at its tail until you have to move, then space jump somewhere safe. When it does the multiple targets, space jump over it and shoot missiles at its tail. I think you are thinking of a different boss. The one i'm talking about flied around.

Clarste posted:1 is especially disappointing since you only use the actual freezing part of the ice missiles exactly once. Every other time they're just to break arbitrary ice missile barriers. The fact that they're ice basically never matters. The ice missiles also freeze the plant platforms which comes in real handy sometimes.

So how do you reliably double jump? I'll hold the stick in the same direction and hit the button twice sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

Your Computer posted:are you playing on a TV without game mode on or something because if there's one thing that can be said for Dread's controls it's that they are responsive Eh. Ever since I got the multiple double jump thingy I can't jump off walls anymore. Even hitting the button while still going up.

TaurusOxford posted:Why would you want to wall jump if you can space jump? Wall jumping gives you more height and changes direction much faster. And a lot of those speedboost puzzles need walljumping to work.

A Bag of Milk posted:I suppose it'll feel good when I finally nail it Yes, it did. For me the hardest part was getting the boost going. I had very regular progression on getting the timing down each attempt I made when I got the boost to start at the begining. But I had like 5 false starts each time. Also you apparently can skip the 2nd ramp spark. You can just land and space jump over it, but that makes the timing very tight.

Game starts with you fighting a basic suit no ability Samus. When you win, all your abilities are gone, and you now control basic Samus. You fight the normal bosses, but not for upgrades but so you can wait for Other Samus to show up. When she finds the boss dead and you there, you have to fight the powered up Samus. Each victory gives you a suit upgrade and the other one loses one.

A weird thing I thought of playing this game. Some scenes we see the breakable blocks or the exploding alien organ thingies at an angle, and they look like they're 1 block tall, 1 block wide, but like 8 blocks long. Which makes me wonder if this time she doesn't turn into an actual ball, but is more like a big long cylinder.

Kin posted: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. Take your time on phase one and use the big evil black ball as a filler to make sure you're topped up on missiles and energy. The attacks should be easy enough to dodge that this shouldn't be an issue, but Phase 2 has no refills and you have to wait for phase 3 to top back up if you need to. You don't only have to wait for him to do the "Show me your moves" motion to counter, he does a forward rush attack that can also be countered. Also when he does the hand motion, you have to run at him and do a running counter, you don't just stand there and counter. That tripped me up a while. Edit: Also missile storm on the black ball is a trap don't do it. CainFortea fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Oct 18, 2021 |

Oxyclean posted:My read is The Thoha DNA = control over metroids, so that's why it made the metroid suit go away. From an survival perspective, maybe the X sees this as eliminating, or at least lessening the threat of a Metroid. Samus is probably still going to hunt any and all X, but at least she's not a super powerful rampaging Metroid creature? Hard to say if the X knew it was saving Samus or not. Otherwise, it had some of Quiet Robe's memories, and acted based on those, which feels maybe more what the emotional beat of that moment was going for. The game does mention the X can obtain the memories of those it infests, but I though the text crawl mentioned that happens to things infested alive, not after death? The problem with this theory is that If it was the X in control and it wanted to stop samus, then they should have shut the hell up and let her drain all the ship power and trap her on an exploding planet

Martian Manfucker posted:yo why is robot chorizo warrior so hard, why come it's making me fight TWO chorizo robot. i can't beat them, it's too hard. One of them dies a lot easier and quicker than the other. Focus storm missiling on the darker one while focusing on not getting hit. Then when it dies, the other goes down like a chump.

Carmant posted:Really good game so far. The one thing I don't like are the QTEs/counters specifically with some of the bosses (I'm looking at you Experiment No. Z-57). It just feels lovely to make it through all the actual mechanics and then lose the fight because you whiff the QTE. The counters in the QTEs are the actual mechanics. Also none of them cause a death on failure.

Glitch speedruns use the same set of skills just applied in weird ways. My only thought on the subject is, if you're using a bug to do something that is a tacit understanding then it's a buck and may or may not be fixed at any time. Being mad when someone gets fixed is silly

Specifically are you looking for the actual figures and you don't really care too much about the Amiibo effect on the game? Or do you mainly want the effect and don't really care about the toy part?

Search for Metroid dread amiibo cards. They recreate the effect of the chip but they don't have the toy attached. And I believe you can get a full set of eight for less than the cost of the double set of figures

MJeff posted:From a story perspective, I loved it but it did fall a little flat in gameplay terms that after that great boss fight, Raven Beak just decides to stop losing and then you actually beat him in a cutscene and a quicktime event. You beat almost all the bosses with quick time events though.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Remasters of 2 and 3 on the level of this one aren't something they can just toss together, so unless they've already done them or Nintendo just isn't making new hardware until 2026 or whatever, I don't think they're projects they can just throw out as filler. Just because they didn't hype this up previously doesn't mean they just tossed it together.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:I never said they did - I'm saying that unless they also already remade 2 and/or 3 during the time they allegedly finished and shelved this one, it's going to be years before they could realistically put out even just one of them, let alone both. You were certainly implying it. Also no, it's not an all or nothing thing. They could have started working on 2 not long after they started on 1. Also doing this work to remaster 1 would certainly make it easier to do the next ones as processes and tools are improved. Basically since they didn't say anything about this release before it was done, anything anyone says about comparing this to any theoretical future games is meaningless.

Asterite34 posted:I am curious where you'd go with a Metroid 6. All the Metroids are dead, the guys who knew how to make Metroids are all dead, the X Parasite is dead as far as we know (unless there's ANOTHER goddamn Chozo colony studying the loving things), Ridley's dead, the Space Pirates haven't been a going concern since Super Metroid, we're kinda running out of established things to deal with. Unless it's just Samus fighting the Federation as they try and basically do a worse rehash of Raven Beak's plan to nab her Metroid DNA, I'm not sure where we go. Since when has been dead stop someone from showing up in a Metroid game?
