A bad game

Play it to find out

>>381088159
Why is it bad?
I heard it was the best in the series next to Prime 1

>>381088159
FPBP!

>>381088138
If it's your first Prime game then it's going to be enjoyable but if you've already played the previous ones then you'll be a little disappointed. It's still better than 2 tho

>>381088138
a not a good soundtrack

>>381088138
It's nothing like the first 2 Prime. This one has much less exploration parts, and levels are more linear. It's more of an action game. I liked it though.

>>381088138
A great game. Not quite as amazing as the 2 that came before it but it's still a fantastic game and a great end to the trilogy.

Remember that trend in the early and mid 2000s of "dark suits" and "shadow/dark" versions of the main protagonist in games and films? Wtf are libs crying about, niggers been in games for a long time AND they got to be protagonist and villains at the same time

a Prime game so shit.

So, do we go back to Prime 1's controls (L for lock, R for free aim, control stick moves Samus and camera) or do we use dual sticks like most first person game's today for Prime 4?

>>381088138
Still a great game, but comparatively worse than MP1/2

>>381089835
I thought they'll do dual analogue or some sort of motion gimmick with the joycons

>>381088138
Prime 3 is a great game. Not as good as 1 but better than 2.

It's a little more casulised however but it does feature some cool motion controls. Overall, a very solid space adventure game.

/v/ hates it so that's always a good sign.

>>381089835
Noooo man, you point the wii dildo to aim. And to turn/scroll your view you point to the edge of your screen to turn. Slowly. No lock on

>>381090414
Have to add. The motion control in this game is spot on. It' absolutely great. Responsive, quick, and forgiving enough to not be frustrating.

>>381088138
You're asking /v/. What the fuck kind of answer are you expecting?
Just play the fucking game and make your own judgement, rather than asking a bunch of cynical shitlord virgins.

Enjoy.

It's a game that dramatically reduced the "isolated in a spooky hostile alien environment" vibe of prior Metroid games in favor of more approachable campy sci-fi action schlock, but as action schlock it's great and a fine game it just lacks that Metroidy atmosphere you might come to expect. There is really only two or three areas in the whole game that try to be even remotely Metroidy.

>>381088138
The worst of the 3 but it has some good stuff. The levels are all completely segregated but they're all pretty good, the hunter bosses were all cool, and the PED suit is pretty cool and different. What sucks though is the way every planet ends with you going to the leviathan seed to fight a boss in a samey arena that they all look terrible in, the crummy beams that are all literally just the power beam+1, and the crummy story bits were you have to deal with the feddies

I hope Prime 4 goes back to the more isolated feeling on the first two games.

>>381091000
>The levels are all completely segregated but they're all pretty good
I wish this game was given more development time, cause it's so obvious they wanted to have more stuff with the gunship, but the deadline was coming up, and they probably had to scrap it.

I hope Prime 4 has a controllable gunship. It's been a staple of the series since 2, so it ought to do more than be a glorified save station.

>>381093521
Gyro on its own is shit but Gyro + Sticks is nice.

>>381093827
Sticks are perfectly fine, no need for gimmicky bullshit getting in the way of that

>>381093521
Don't know if you've played with the switch, but it's literally for fine tuning shot placement. You don't swing the controller/system allover the place to aim.
You can turn it off in botw anyways, and probably prime 4 if they go that route.

Hypothetically they could just use the joy cons to imitate the Prime trilogy's control scheme, right?

As long as I'm not required to use the gyro I'm okay with it. Gyro aim is fine with the steam controller in the sense that it's accurate, I just find it annoying.

2 Removed the great level design from 1 and memed it up with ammo and a lazy darkworld that does damage constantly which discourages exploration. Good thing there's not much of that in 2.


One thing I'll give it credit for is the best boss fights in the series, they're waaaaay better than 1s. But the atmosphere and exploration of 1 is a million times more fun and varied

How does the IR censor work since there is no IR bar with the switch? Sure, they could use gyro, but it would be Splatoon at best and Skyward Sword at worst.

>>381088138
Annoying waggle controls.

People ONLY call it bad because its not as good as the legendary first and in some peoples eyes fantastic follow up. Still worth playing

>>381097387
Why where the chozo spirits hostile towards samus? I forgot.

>>381096482

Just because they have elemental themes doesn't mean they're generic.
>>381096408
>Echoes had the difficulty that Prime lacked
True, but it was mostly to early untested boss fights, iirc, the developers couldn't even beat the boost guardian. The worst part is that the Trilogy version is way too easy. Other than that, both games are easy on the normal difficulty.

>>381097716

Corrupted by the Phazon.

>>381088138
Fully voiced dialog and a fucking ton of it, there are way too many characters and it kills the atmosphere. Also the game picks and chooses which things you can actually lock on to seemingly at random, which is fucking infuriating. The motion controls are gimmicky and intrusive but not really terrible. I've only played about two hours of it though, I only started on Saturday

>>381097716
Pretty sure they went insane

>>381095993
How can the Dark World discourage exploration when it is exactly the same as the Light World? That makes no sense. If you can't go somewhere in the Dark World, just go to it in the Light World. It's the exact same thing but without the filter.

>>381097828
Phazon can corrupt ghosts?

>>381097957
>It's the exact same thing but without the filter.
That's what your dad told your mom, and here You are now...

Prime 3 is by far my least favourite of the three Prime games, it feels more like Star Trek than the Alien feel the rest of the games go for. It's still damn good, but not AS good as Primes 1 and 2. It's got loads of cool ideas that aren't used too well, like the Phazon weapons that are near useless because the Hyper Beam is just way better, and the gunship that doesn't get much use. Lots of upgrades that end up being glorified keys compared to the other games.

Also it's way too easy, unless you play on the hardest difficulty, where it becomes aggravatingly unfun (the Space Pirate Tiamat cannon infinite spawn bullshit in Thorn Jungle, Mogenar, the entireity of Phaaze, Dark Samus holy shit).

>>381097837
>i've only played about two hours of it though
That's obvious. That "ton of fully voiced dialogue" you were talking about? That's literally just the intro to establish the characters. There's also a very good reason why there are so many characters introduced in the intro.

>>381097957
Not that guy, but it felt like a chore early in the game and by the end of it you knew it wasn't anything special.

Decent game but not as much as the first two

Anyway, I bet they're going to shove in phazon and Dark Samus again in Prime 4 somehow because if they don't why call it Prime?

>>381099151
Prime is basically just shorthand for 3D Metroid at this point.

Has Wii emulation gotten to the point where I can play this with M&KB/regular controller yet?
I can't stand the wiimote controls.

>>381098995
True, but that's not my point. My point is that despite the Dark World being tedious, it doesn't discourage exploration at all.

>>381099587
apaprently doruphineu 5.0 or ishiiruka are compatible with keyboard and mouse and metroid prime.

>>381099151
They've specifically said that prime just means 3D Metroid now and that all the phazon and dark Samus stuff is done.

>>381100029
where

>>381088138
Space Pirates, waggle, phazon vomiting

Prime 1 - amazing
Prime 2 - boring
Prime 3 - meh

>>381088138
It's the fusion of the prime games. You are constantly being contacted by a computer that tells you where to go and the game has a very slow start witch build up the story.
The game really starts when you land on Bryyo and when the computer contacts you you can usually still move, so it doesn't have the awkward pauses from fusion.
It also has really good lore.

What is worse, Prime 2 or Other M?

>>381101038
gee anon that's a tough decision

>>381090730
I've never understood this complaint about Corruption.

The game has some of the best damn environmental design and lore in the series, each one feeling suitably alien. The vistas of Sky Town are filled with leftover malfunctioning robots and rusting, broken down mechanisms while you read about how if you came there a few months earlier you could have saved them all. In Bryyo you're going through actual cities and temples, fighting off the primal descendants of a race once as wise and powerful as the Chozo. Space Pirate Homeworld is this desolate cyberpunk landscape where you're all alone in the most dangerous location Samus could possibly be in, where even the rain is toxic to you, and Phaaze is something straight out of Lovecraft. The games filled with more horror-inspired locales like the desolate space ship and Metroid lab.

But because you talk to a robot AI via a radio every now and then, and because the game opens up on a big cinematic tutorial before shit goes off the rails and Samus is forced to work alone in those environments, it's got worse atmosphere and feels less hostile than fucking Zero Mission and Prime? Games that have extremely basic videogame-y environment design that do nothing to sell the places as a real world, with the prior having art direction resembling a colorful anime and the sound consisting of upbeat chiptune music?

I don't get it.

is the metroid prime trilogy on dolphin easy to set up for kb+m type controls?

>>381088138
More combat focus than previous games. Better than two, not as good as one. Still charming and lots of fun.

>>381101410
Metroid fags are autistic and literally any npc interaction at all triggers the bejesus out of them

I'm trying to play through the original Metroid.
Is there ever a point where it actually gets fun to play or is it just frustrating as shit the whole way through?

It's just ok.
It's also a massive fucking retcon to prime 1, but whatever

>>381102501
It only gets worse.

>>381102501
The first few minutes of the game are frankly the worst.
The game has a reverse difficulty curve like Kid Icarus does.

>>381102652
The US version of Prime 1 isn't canon.

>>381102501
It gets better when you get the ice beam, but not much.

>>381101647
It just baffles me how extreme they get with it.

Prime 1 having an optional hint system that'll tell you where to go to get the next item if you're lost, contextualized as her suit detecting an item on the other side of the world? Perfectly acceptable.

Prime 3 having an optional hint system that'll tell you where to go to get the next item if you're lost, contextualized as the local supercomputer sending you some new information? Unacceptable, kills the series, ruined Metroid forever.

>>381088138

A pretty good game that people memed into being "the worst" of the series. 2 is my least favorite.

I think it speaks wonders about the quality of the trilogy as a whole when everyone's arguing about which one was the best/worst of the three but barely anyone is debating whether they're good in general (which they are, they're fucking awesome). On /v/, that's a rare feat.

2 >= 3 >= 1 personally

As if. It's the gyro that makes the sticks bearable, not the other way around.

>>381088138
I love this game. The lore, the atmosphere, the puzzles... it's also the only one I've played though. The combat leaves a bit to be desired, as it takes the zelda route of "Expose the weak point and beat it three times" for all bosses. Normal enemies are just bullet sponges. Still a great game tho.

>>381088138
Fun. It's got strengths and weaknesses over the other games in the series. Don't fall for the "Prime 1 or 2 is better so this game is shit" because even if it's your least favorite in the series, it's still a solid game.

>>381098496
phazon don't fuck around

>>381103940
That routine was more boring than the "three PS3s" video. About the only thing that could make it watchable was light sprinklings in YTPs.

>>381101410
The only good environment was Phaaze. Pretty much the entirety of Bryyo felt like I was retreading level archetypes MP1 already covered. Elysia Skytown was pretty overrated, especially with that shitty rail system where you needed to play that rail shooter minigame every time you moved from one part of the area to the other, which got really tedious, really fast. Space Pirate Homeworld was kind of a boring letdown as well.

Also the NPCs absolutely destroyed that Metroid 'feeling'. MP2 did it right just by having you talk to that U-Mos and interacting sort of with the AI holograms of those death Luminoth guys. There were far too many NPCs in the game and the beginning tutorial level was shit. Felt like the game was trying way too hard to be something Metroid really wasn't.

Also Prime 1 kinda felt like a real world to me. So did Zero Mission and its music wasn't even bad at all, really.

>>381096154
Switch doesn't use IR in that way. The IR sensor is located on the bottom end of the right controller and is practically just a tiny Kinect, there's no pointer or positional tracking. It's honestly completely pointless with how limited it is, about the only use they've shown off is reading rock-paper-scissors gestures.

Switch controllers use the upgraded motion tech that was in the Wii Remote Plus and Wii U GamePad, so they're fairly accurate on their own already. Not having that sensor bar means it's not going to be as absolute, though. This was why Skyward Sword's pointer controls felt a little off from the standard Wii pointer, because for some reason the game relied ENTIRELY on the MotionPlus chip and didn't use the IR pointer at all except for calibration.

>>381090980
It's another /v/ parrot opinion, usually the ones who says 2 is the best from Prime trilogy never actually played it.

>daily metroid threads
I can dig this.

They tried to not make the same game a third time. It is great, but perhaps you like Prime 1 and 2 more.

You like Halo but with Metroid and Wii's motion controls? If yes then you're gonna love this one.

Meanwhile is Federation Force worth 25€ now with Prime 4 and SR announced?

>>381104740
>Also the NPCs absolutely destroyed that Metroid 'feeling'. There were far too many NPCs in the game and the beginning tutorial level was shit. Felt like the game was trying way too hard to be something Metroid really wasn't.

The beginning of the game is literally setup. It sets you in a vessel during an attack, like if you got to experience the Ceres Station attack from Super Metroid from a first person perspective rather than just viewing the aftermath. Afterwards it escalates into this overly grand Galactic Federation mission meant to establish who the other hunters are properly and build a camaraderie with them, before the mission fails and everything goes south and Samus spends six months in a coma. The real game starts with Bryyo, as at that point Samus is now corrupted by Phazon, forced to go on a lone quest across the solar system since the Federation is using their resources rebuilding the base on Norion, and the characters who were previously your buddies become mortal enemies who are hunting you down and leaving a trail of destruction in the environment.

It's the same thing as everyone bitching about having a computer friend giving you objectives destroyed the "Metroid isolation feeling" of Fusion, when the game specifically turns it on its head in the second half and reveals that the Federation and Adam are trying to sabotage you. The orders are bullshit keeping you from discovering the real conspiracy on the B.S.L., your objectives get fucked over by SA-X leaving you stranded in the depths of sectors you're not supposed to be in with no way back to the computer terminal, you start busting down the walls keeping all the areas of the game segregated as Samus takes shit into her own hands and breaks away from her CO's control.

This isn't Metroid becoming something its not. The NPCs serve a purpose. But Metroid fans are so god damn terrified of dialogue after Other M that any NPCs ruin the game, regardless of context or quality.

If anything, Prime 3 only either demonstrates why Other M sucks. All of the dialogue in Corruption had a purpose, it was succinct, and above all decently written and didn't make you want to fucking kill yourself.

And fuck it, I've always stuck up for Fusion too. Samus' monologues had a damn point each time, and only happened during breaks in the action.

>>381088138
The most cinematic metroid prime game, pity that they had to scrap beam switching and now they just stack on top of one another like 2D metroid. Still fun, Steampunk world was the best.

>>381106462

Whatever happened to the Chozos?

>>381107361
I don't even remember how they're called, but the ghosts in Prime were pretty spoopy. More than anything, the sudden lightning and music shift.

worthless. Only play it if you're curious, but don't pay money for it. Pirate if you can. Steal from a store if you must. Just don't waste money.

I tried playing through trilogy on a friends wii u because I never bought a wii to play prime 3 and I absolutely hated the motion controls. Going to replay the first 2 on gamecube. It seems most places I looked online and people I asked in real life liked the motion controls better. I hope they return to the original control scheme for 4, or at least make it an option.

Yes. Phazon didn't create the Ing, anon was full of shit.

>>381106941
>>But its a deliberate contrast to the actual Metroid feel later in the game. It heightens the atmosphere,
I never really found that to be true. I know that it's what the game was going for, but the rest of the game just didn't 'feel' like MP1 and 2 to me. You still interacted with NPCs in the other worlds.

>>381107476

Why did it feel like it didn't make much sense for most of the planets in Corruption to be uninhabited? I mean if I recall correctly in both planets besides the pirate homeworld, civilizations were wiped out by the Leviathans crashing into them but that happened during the start of the game so it wouldn't make sense for them to die off so quickly.

sure, when you're doing a dark suit-less run. Once you get the dark suit it get a gorillion times easier.

Planets are big, anon. Our own planet is relatively small and inhabited by millions of species, yet there are still plenty of places that are empty and uninhabited.

Also, Elysia is a gas giant.

What? All I remember from the end was discovering that the giant AI of the ship was stolen by Dark Samus.

>>381107646
shit m8, can't even remember all the areas
favorites:
Magmoor caverns
Space Pirate Frigate
Torvus Bog (underwater)
Sanctuary Fortress (that game ending bug tho)
Elysia
Almost all of the first Prime areas were top notch, pero the frigate and magmoor remain my favorites.

Places I didn't like:
Ing Hive
Phazon Mines
GFS Valhalla
Temple Grounds in general

>>381108835

If I recall correctly Bryyo's inhabitants had already degenerated into savages long before the Leviathan hit and so you just fight them as regular enemies, and Elysia was inhabited entirely by robots.

A dumb bug, you can lock a door on sanctuary fortress by starting a puzzle and leaving the room without finishing it.

Bug comes very late in the game and there's no normal way to bypass it. I've heard you can glitch your way to the other area but I never could.

Anyway, it's very dumb and I felt angry at myself for falling for it.

I thought you got the Trilogy version for a second.

Prime 3 is fun in it's own way, but it strays too far away from the roots of the franchise in my opinion. It's a lot more actiony than it's predecessors, the exploration is more linear, there's no sense of isolation or loneliness and the new lore is mediocre at best. The worst part for me is that the puzzles and various gameplay mechanics like scanning, weapon upgrades and such are not nearly as well integrated into the game as in the original, they stand out and makes it feel arcadey.

The bosses are overall pretty great though, it's worth playing.

Seriously though, that's one of the worst things about Other M, the omission of the chozo in a story that's supposed to be about Samus' past. You can't do that! You can't explore a character's back story while leaving out the most important part of it out. Fucking hell.

Actually, it gets even worse when you consider the tacked on motherhood theme. Mother Brain was an important figure in Samus' formative years. Maybe explore that relationship a little? No? Fine, be retarded then.

>>381125262
Always thought Super's controls felt stiff compared to the GBA ones, and Maridia was the only section in all 6 games I mentioned I did not have fun with,

Prime 1 has fairly stock areas, easily the least interesting lore and the boss fights were nothing to write home about compared to 2 and 3.

Maybe I'm just more forgiving of the other game's flaws.

>>381124848
Bryyo is the definition of 'meh', but that's just my opinion.
Elysia is cool lorewise, and the pirate base was a nice edition but even then I never really enjoyed to play through the area.

No, the space jump in Super is actually pretty finicky. I have to admit that Super is lacking in a few quality of life features like recoverable space jumps and somersaults out of regular jumps though.

>>381127365
The timing for wall jumps in Super is much more forgiving. You're just confused because you started with ZM or Fusion - the window of opportunity is a little later, but much wider.

Metroid threads were comfy again after 10 years of shitposting. Why are you doing this?

>>381128495
once upon a time Sakamoto was fired and murdered by the yakuza for incompetence and Metroid was handed back to Retro studios where they make 2D and 3D Metroid games every few years and they're all glorious
The End

someone make a new thread

Prime 3 is the best of the Trilogy fuck the nostalgiafags, it looks and plays better

>>381088138
You are up for a good ride.

>>381101509
1 and 2 is easy and very enjoyable with a kb+m set up, 3 is tricky because the game uses Z axis though.

>>381128048
Can't even remember. But was very frustrated.

>>381107361
I haven't played Prime 3 in a long time, but I remember seeing a floating robot in some corridor, It didn't seem to be hostile so I continued looking around the room, when I looked at the robot again it moved into the next room while still making eye contact. I honestly don't know if I made this up, would check it out if my Wii wasn't broken.

>>381131057
Ah yes, the Elysian bots.

I liked prime 3 the most but I think most people agree that 2 and even 1 were better. Still a great game but chances are you are not going to enjoy it as much as prime 2.

That was the Steamlord with the cloaking device, wasn't it?

>>381103683
You haven't been on /v/ then in the last few years. We have plenty of people who hate the prime trilogy and think all of them are bad.

>>381123767
Underrated post. It works on so many levels.

Is Super Metroid the best game to start with your first Metroid game?

>>381131282
>plenty of people
Not that I don't believe that, but as far as I remember, it's only one anon with the same shitposts.

>>381131510

I'd start with ZM personally. Super is the peak though.

>>381131510
No, Start with Zero Mission and then move to Prime 1, then Super.

>>381088138
I got too into ripping shit off with the grappling hook and ended up punching myself in the face and giving myself a black eye.

>>381131510
I would say so, but SM almost makes the original feel like thrash. Zero Mission fixed that, tho.

>>381131510
Zero Mission is chronologically the first and has a lot of handholding. Pretty easy and short.

You will miss some quality of life improvements going from the gba metroids back to super but super is good enough to not be bad ever no matter how you experience it.

>>381131589
Well then he is very dedicated because there is someone shitting on the prime games in every metroid thread for the last few years.

>>381132147
I think people call him ACfag around these threads, haven't seen him here, tho.
