Zero Mission is only slightly more free than Fusion. Stick with it, man. It's got some of the best bosses in the series and right up there in atmosphere.

Zero Mission, Fusion. When you beat Zero Mission, it unlocks the Original Metroid and you can play that if you want. I'd emulate Metroid II before playing AM2R.
>>
Best starting point for the series?

Besides Other M and Fedora Force, are there any others I should avoid?
>>
>>381043575
Zero Mission is a great starting point. Has all the basics of Metroid but guides you through it without holding your hand. Super is probably the quintessential Metroid. You owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Fusion is okay. It's very on rails though. Prime is the Metroid formula in 3D and while differentis fantastic. Even if Prime3 is more on rails. AM2R hard as dicks. Play it once you feel comfortable with Metroid as a whole
>>
Super > Fusion > ZM > NES > 2
>>
>>381043681
Just play Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow but only use the gun. BAM.
>>
>>381043687
Probably just me being shit then, but Nightmare still managed to piss me off. Pretty sure it took me at least 8-10 tries on the Japanese Hard difficulty to beat the fucker. When he gets on his phase where his face looks like it's melting, half of my missiles that were hitting him square in the face would just bounce off of him.

>>381043681
Fusion is a game that's not for every Metroid fan. If you're really disliking it, just drop it. I personally found it fun, even if it does restrict exploration too much. The atmosphere of the game also made it much better than I expected it to be.
>>
>>381043575
download visual boy advance, dolphin, and whatever the hottest snes emulator is these days (higan?)

You can play the prime games concurrently or separately your choice
zero mission > super > fusion > am2r

prime 1 > prime 2 > prime 3 > hunters if you feel like
>>
>>381043681
It's a metroid game - the whole point is to get your equipment and kill bosses. It isn't some open world exploration game.

If you are a sequence break fag, kys.
>>
>>381043981
start with either Zero Mission or Prime 1. If you like ZM, play Super Metroid and then Fusion. If you like Prime, play 2 & 3.

Other M is truly the black sheep of the Metroid family. I want to find a reason to like it since Sakamoto made it but . . . it's nearly indefensible.
>>
>>381043981
Besides those two there's 2. 2 introduced a lot of mechanics that became staples of the series but it's also very clunky and the large Samus sprite and same color backgrounds make it hard to track your progress despite how linear it is

Oh man, during Ridley's attack you have to look for his green blood.

it's a style of gameplay where you use a cursor to find one tiny little dot on the screen (usually the size of a pixel) to solve a puzzle.

Was a "HEY REMEMBER THIS THING FROM PREVIOUS GAME" all over the place.

Which meant when Smash Bros needed to copy paste models into the trophies of Smash 4, they had Mother Brain (Assist Trophy), Metroid Queen, Phantoon, and Nightmare.

It was the first and probably only time the four mainline games will ever get something like that in Smash ever.

I like how in Super Metroid enemies respond with different AI reactions to your attacks depending on what you use. Missiles, Charged shots and super missiles all make Phantoon react differently.

>>381046807
Oh no, it's during his "Pre-Ridley" phase, he doesn't have wings and for the actual battle you're pinned down as he just does like 3 attacks.

I'm starting to wonder why Sakamoto made Other M at all, or at the very least, why he thought something placed between Super and Fusion was a story worth telling. He could have easily made Metroid 5, or maybe a prequel set before Zero Mission - in fact, the latter was what I thought Other M would be because I got the impression that Adam died a long time ago, not literal days before Fusion happened.

Good, maybe now Metroid and Metroid Prime can coexist in the same universe like Halo instead of feeling like it's split. While there should be a main series (2D) the stories that expand the universe should never feel distant towards the main series, it should still look like you are playing a game from the same series. To me this has been Prime's biggest downfall since Prime 1.

Two important questions are whether you prefer 2D games or 3D games, and whether you care about playing a series in its chronological order or not.

2D and chronological order: Zero Mission > AM2R > Super Metroid > Metroid Fusion > Give Prime 1 a chance. If you like it, move on to Prime 2 and Prime 3. Leaving Prime for last is assuming you are not much into the kind of 3D "shooter" Prime is, but if you do like it enough, you can try to squeeze the trilogy somewhere in there. Prime 1 comes right after Zero Mission chronologically, but the Prime series is disconnected enough that it doesn't matter that you may play those out of order.

2D and not in chronological order: Super Metroid > Zero Mission > Fusion > AM2R > Again, give Prime 1 a chance, move on to Prime 2 and 3 if you like it. And again, you can squeeze the Prime trilogy anywhere you want in there if you feel like it.

3D: Prime 1 > Prime 2 > Prime 3, then look at the 2D games by what you prefer depending on what I said above.

Don't have a preference for 2D and 3D: It's a blind shot between starting with Super Metroid or Prime 1.
>>
>>381048825
You have to remember, Other M is the way Sakamoto has always envision Samus' character to be. To him, she was always like that. And since he's the director of the entire series, he can force that vision on the rest of us.
>>
>>381049153
>it should still look like you are playing a game from the same series
I literally don't give two fucks about this. The Prime series is one of the best, if not the best, examples of translating a classic 2D game into a modern 3D one. There's no reason it has to "look like" the 2D games when the core loop and points of entertainment are the same.

That's not really fair. They're different kinds of games. Prime was a renaissance of Metroid, so they went all out with the music. Prime 2 was more hostile, decadent world so the music was more minimal for the dark world, for Agon Wastes, etc. Still ain't played Prime 3 to be honest.

Are you suggesting I recommend Metroid II? Because that game won't do anyone any favors. I loved that game myself but even I can admit that it's really rough around the edges and did not age well one bit. It's definitely not a game I'd recommend to a newcomer over AM2R. And there's a reason I recommend it as a last for the 2D games if you don't care for chronological order anyway.

I think a lot of the issues surrounding M:OM could have been remedied if it was a prequel before ZM. Samus' fear and emotional instability could have been attributed to her youth. Her reliance on Adam and the Federation goonsquad could have been handwaved as her still being a Fed lackey and needing to follow orders. Her reaction to Ridley would be genuine, as it would be the first time she'd encountered him.

The storytelling would still be awful, but at least it wouldn't conflict with canon.

It depends on the fucking game. In Super the ingame sprite uses pink AND purple tones, Fusion's straight up purple. ZM is the same as Super yet in the unlockable art the suit is completely purple--Metroid was 30 years ago and Smash isn't fucking canon.

If you actually look at her model, it wasn't copy n' pasted from Other M. It's an entirely new model that's actually based on her appearance in Zero Mission. Compare it to her face in Other M and to her sprite in ZM and you can definitely see it pulls from the latter.

Came here to post this. If there was anything they got right in spite of their monotone expository bullshit it was with Anthony. It actually feels like a relationship based around comradery and mutual professional respect, basically the furthest thing from the beaten housewife stick she has going with Adam in that game.

Probably. All autism aside, Samus Returns literally doesn't have anything in common with Other M besides maybe some of those flashy finisher animations.

Besides the Melee counter shit, it looks and sounds to be a Metroid-ass Metroid game with proper level design and health picks up, etc. If it was horribly linear, had dull Samus monologues all over the place, brought back the lame focus self-healing mechanic from OM and shit like that, then yeah there'd be a problem, but we haven't seen such things in SR.

I remember when I first played it, there were times I was genuinely stuck and couldn't figure out how to get to the glowing dot on my map

I dunno, I always consider this to be my favorite 2D metroid just because it was mechanically fun to play. I never cared too much about the whole "wander around until you find something weird" that everyone clings to with this series

For nearly the whole game, no. You can just bind some of the wagglan' actions to a certain key on your keyboard and it's all fine. The only time I really had a problem was the part where you have to synchronize the levers movements in the Pirate Homeworld with the GF Trooper/Gandrayda. I had to try that shit for nearly 20 minutes because at one point during the synchronization where you have to twist, doing a twist would also do a push immediately after for some reason. I managed to get through it but it was really infuriating trying to make it work.

They know their shit, you should listen to them. Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Zero Mission were all good (I love Metroid II as well but it was the only 2D Metroid he didn't work on). I have faith that Metroid Samus Returns will be good and then we can finally get Metroid Dread next.

While questionable he seems to have learned his lesson. Somebody link the interview where he says that the story is told through the environment or background something like that. Other M's problem was more then just its story as the gameplay was pretty terrible as well with forced waggle when a Nunchuck and Wiimote could have been used for a third person FPS type of Metroid instead of the poorly transitioned 2-D gameplay into 3-D.

This time we wont have that problem and we also have a completely optional attack we can ignore if we want to play it traditionally while having the much welcome free aim mode.

So whats gonna be happening in Prime 4?

I'd argue the problem with Other M's gameplay is that there were clearly two different directions and visions clashing against each other.

The thing is, Sakamoto originally wanted Other M just to be another one of his 2D Metroid games, albeit done in a 2.5D style. This is why he was mumbling on about how the game would be a "NES game made with modern technology", and why it plays with NES styled controls with the Wiimote on its side.

Problem is, Team Ninja sort of had other plans. They wanted to make the game into one of their 3D character action games like Ninja Gaiden, and they wanted to use the nunchuck and built the game around it. But Sakamoto denied them and insisted that the game had to control like a NES game. So in order to keep going with their character action game set up while appeasing Sakamoto, they attempted to make a compromise by presenting him with a prototype that had the game in 3D but still controlling with the Wiimote.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/03/11/gdc-10-metroid-director-wanted-classic-controls

In hindsight, Sakamoto should of really just enforced his 2.5D idea or fully embraced Team Ninja's 3D action game concept. Instead we ended up with this bizarre compromise that didn't really do a good job at either.

since Sylux was in FF and was hinted to at the end of Corruption I think hes a safe bet for having some role in Prime 4. Metroids will make an appearance, solely for the purpose of a Metroid Queen giving rebirth to the bastard devil child Dark Samus who will immediately blow up the planet. Ridley will make an appearance in Smash 5

I'd like to see a Ridley fight that's more like the ones in the 2D games, where he doesn't fly away and try to bomb you from afar. It just needs to be you and him in an enclosed space, no bullshit, just the two of you trying to kill one another.

The Luminoth Interactions to me added a great feeling of sadness for their race since he was the last awake one, if he were to fall then all the rest were to be killed while in hibernation, him being alive tied well with all the death logs of the Luminoth seeing how long their struggle lasted as well as how near extinction they were, I also like how they're basically the distant cousins of the Chozo but they're lucky enough to have Samus visit their planet.

>>381053406
You're going to fight Sylux throughout the game, but all of a sudden there is a clone of Sylux, and the clone has been infected by phazon-x. You team up with Sylux at the end to fight the clone, Sylux is fataly wounded and takes off his helmet in a heart wrenching moment. it is revealed that Sylux is akshualy adam. he dies, then there is a cliffhangar for Prime 5: Other M 2.

He seems to be an unaffiliated bounty hunter, his only preference being that he hates the federation, and as an extension Samus for helping them so much.
He also MAY be human due to the his proportions and because he is using stolen Galactic Federation weapons.

He probably wouldn't be against helping pirates to destroy the federation, but we have yet to see how far his hate of the GF extends.

Considering it's a 2.5D game, probably.

That being said, even if did play like a real Metroid game, Sakamoto would of still gone with the focus on narrative and the Bottleship as the main location. In other words, we would of gotten a game far more closer to Metroid Fusion than Super Metroid or Zero Mission. But at least it probably would of been fun, like Fusion was.

It's kinda interesting how history seems to repeat itself. Back in the early 2000s, Sakamoto came out with Fusion, a more linear, story focused action game. Few years later he came back with a far more traditional Metroid experience in the form of Zero Mission. We're kinda seeing the same thing here with Other M and Samus Returns.

Sak said the story is in the background

>“[In] this game there’s a lot of background, there’s a lot of lore involved in this title. But it’s not like a novel or something. It incorporates the lore, but it’s not integral to the gameplay experience. It’s in the background more than in the foreground.
There is definitely information for the players to get that revolves around sort of the larger storyline.”

if there was a huge emphasis on story we would of seen it by now. all we've seen is just some quick cutscenes of samus looking at environments or a metroid or whatever which is literally par for the course when it comes to these days.

So where the fuck does the story/lore come into these games? I just started playing Zero Mission after someone told me to go Zero Mission>Wait for 3DS Remake of 2>Super Metroid then Fusion and I just beat mother brain and got to the stealth sections and still feel like the game didnt really tell me alot. Is the story hidden behind instruction manuals and I have to read about it online basically?

>>381055809
Yes
>>
>>381055592

>>381056748
Depends on the game. For Zero Mission and super metroid, it's mainly environmental. Fusion has a lot of environmental storytelling but also a bunch of dialogue, Prime 1 gets a lot of story from scanning things, Prime 2 is the same but with some more dialogue, Prime 3 still has scanning for story but focuses more on scripted sequences and cutscenes.

Most of the Chozo stuff was covered in the manga or scan logs from the Prime games.

All you need to know about 2's plots is that SR388 is where the Metroids live, the feds sent Samus in to kill them, she finds a baby at the end that thinks she's its mommy, she hands it to the government to do science.

After ZM, just move on to either Prime or Super, no need to wait for months.

Also beat SM already, the game's basically done once you get to the stealth section unless you plan on doing item clean up.

I'm pretty sure it's been stated somewhere that Sakamoto didn't actually think that much about Samus' character up until Other M.

Heavily doubt it is after that Sakamoto interview, and even if Dread, when it's made, has a story it will be closer to Fusion but far more opened thanks to the scan pulse. It also seems that Sakamoto has finally done away with a long time issue since Fusion, unskippable cutscenes

You missed The best Prime game in my opinion

It's totally the hardest Metroid game and reading up on what the Luminoth have been up to and their struggle with the Ing who invaded their planet is really damn fun.

Tanabe said a couple years back that he'd like Prime 4 to have a time-shifting mechanic similar to the parallel worlds in Echoes.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-17-next-proper-metroid-prime-would-likely-now-be-on-nx

>Speaking with Tanabe, it was clear he had plenty of ideas for the game, including a focus on a single planet that has a time-shifting mechanic, similar to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes' single planet with dark and light variants.

>"Instead of broadening it to more planets I would have one and would focus on the timeline, and being able to change that. That's one interesting idea I have in mind... but I understand many people thought that [Echoes] was too difficult."

Thoughts on that?

Do you guys think I need to play Hunters to prep for Prime 4? I know Sylux shows up somehow in FF, but I honestly really don't want to play that. Right now I'd rather play Other M and try FF.

Hunters didn't have much of a story, all you gotta know is that Sylux is a hunter, and he hates the GF and Samus as a result.

Screw attack isn't completely useless but it isn't as fun as it could be. I wish it left you in complete control and basically functioned as a real space jump, letting you swiftly traverse the game to get the sky keys. Basically like controlling morphball but with updown controls too.

Issue with that of course is then you have to worry about all those skyboxes. What a shame.

To be honest I think the right way to get into the franchise is to play every single game in release order if you can handle dated gameplay and graphics. It just makes you appreciate so much of what comes after. This would also be the only way to preserve the progression in story.

So it'd be something like Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Fusion, Zero Mission, AM2R, and then Samus Returns.

If you can't handle dated gameplay and graphics then it's pretty hard to choose the order. On the one hand, if you go in the story order where you have ZM, AM2R, Super, and then Fusion, you do preserve the story progression, but the gameplay is kind of messed up since it's hard to go from the faster movement in ZM and AM2R to the slower movement in Super, as well as a few dated mechanics in Super. You also understand a few less references in AM2R by not playing Fusion first.

But if you play in any other order, then you don't get a sense of the story, and some of the surprises in the games relating to the story don't have as much impact anymore.

Boost Guardian was poorly designed and implemented. Even some of the developers couldn't beat it. It's just a pallet swap of another boss but it ends up being surprisingly luck based unless you take advantage of a flaw int he AI.
It is both far harder than bosses before and after it despite being of minor importance. From a game design perspective it is a failure.

I was talking about art direction, not necessarily character design, though they do overlap.

I love the way 343's Halo games use colors. Halo 4 had some god-tier environments that could've been in a Metroid Prime game. I always think that Halo 4 is what a Prime game could've looked like if the Wii were as powerful as the 360.

For some reason the Space Pirates made a space dragon a high ranking officer. Well, he's more efficient than most of them, so. They still have to rebuild him every other game because Samus keeps killing him.

>like, seriously though.

One's they actually look like girls and have a proper looking vagina. Maybe. They'd have to start giving off the right pheromones so I feel attracted in person as well though.

He ate them in front of baby Samus and then bragged to adult Samus about how his special regegeration abilities mean there's a good chance that the cells that make up her parents now make up his butthole.

It is entirely possible for the BBG to smash all pillars at the very first transformation, depriving you of the healing intended by the designers.
The fight is factually mechanically designed poorly. It is egregiously hard for no reason. It doesn't even have its own model, it's just a pallet swap of an earlier fight. If that is the proper difficulty then fine but then every other boss in the game with perhaps the exception of the Spiderball Guardian is bad then, making it an even WORSE design choice.

>>381061183
but if one of his tuesdays was killing some poor girl's parents, doesn't that make him a total dick?

>>381061287
Pheromones change when you start HRT. The rest is basically what any remotely sane transgirl would want.

>>381061073
In terms of internal core staff I'd argue most likely on that one.
Xenoblade's Metal Face, Earthbound's Porky Minch, Paper Mario's Dimentio, and Eternal Darkness' Pious Augustus are all contenders for that title

He was always a dick, but he didn't start targeting Samus specifically until after she killed him once. Prior to Metroid 1 his faggotry was indiscriminate.

Porkey at least realized what he did was wrong. He's more childish rather than coldhearted, all of the people he ends up killing die not because he wanted them dead, and instead die because he couldn't foresee what his creations would do.

Also he was brain fucked by Giygas.

Can anyone tell me what Metroid manga pic related is from?

Can someone make a Master Chief version of this?

The official one.

>>381062004
That's what I mean by "He couldn't foresee what his creations would do"

He's a fucking child who's just bored and wants to fuck around with nature and robots. Also time-travel fucked up his age and mind a bit. He never killed someone or tried to kill someone deliberately that wasn't in a fit of childish rage. Ridley knows full well the repercussions of his actions and does them just to be an asshole. Porkey does it because he's bored.
