When Prime 4 comes out, will we see a resurrection of TUUUUUUBES threads?
Or does /v/ even remember TUUUUUUBES?

No, just wojakposting over sales and metacritic.
I'll dump what tubes I have on me
>>381794685
I doubt any of the arbitrarily cynical retards trying to sound impressive to strangers on the internet will do anything but console war shitpost about it and call any OC, including TUUUBESS "le reddit."
Mark my words. I guarantee it will happen
>>381798201
I see tubes on almost every metroid thread dude
And thats all I have on me right now.
Post the MAKE SCIENCE one, both of them

and itll truly tell me this place is devoid of oldfags
Cross your fingers that this new team won't be Metroid's equivalent of 343
>>381800852I think 343 has really Improved over time,so I'm willing to give this new studio a chance
I really do hope Prime 4 has good Space Pirate logs.

>>381801151
honestly that's one of the things I could see a new studio fuck up and fail to properly balance the silly with the more serious aspects of the space pirate operations
>>381801354
Or just not do anything silly with space pirates at all.
>>381801945
I think they'll be sufficiently aware of the fact the space pirates were well loved in their prime incarnation
Thats all I got, gonna get some sleep now
>>381802125
I really hope so. It added so much character to them.
Sweet, a tubes thread with images I don't have saved yet. Contributing what I have.
tubes is probably the best meme and created the best oc this board has ever seen with only japan time and winnie the pooh baseball coming close

>>381813134
>>381810474
>>381808847
Echoes is my favorite of the Prime games, and I feel that a big reason why is because of the role of the Space Pirates. Unlike 1 or 3, where they're the main enemy faction, in 2 the pirates are literally just trying to survive. They're under attack by the Feds, then the Ing, then Dark Samus, and finally the Hunter herself. Plus it had the funniest logs.
>>381813134
Great thread desu.
How do you think the space pirates felt when Samus blew up the tube in Maridia? Or the one connecting the Mothership with the Chozodia Temple?
>>381818136

Maybe if there's significant Pirate content. Without pirates, we have no tubes.
And honestly I don't want to see us retread the old meme content too much or it'll spoil it. Use it sparingly within appropriate threads.

I imagine them being more hissy and foreign sounding.
I always tought about the space pirates like they are the SCP, they are supposed to be competent and only fail because they face impossible odds, yet the fanon displays them like bumbling idiots, its facinating.
Does anyone have the one with the space pirate jumping in front of the ship at the end of Zero Mission
Oh man, I love tubes now
>>381833194
They face one woman with power armor.
They have dragons, robo-dragons, weird ass science, and giant brain monsters.
It's pretty clear they're technologically gifted morons.

You know, why do they even call samus a bounty hunter if she never tries to collect bounties on people and only takes jobs from the federation. If anything, she pretty much could be considered either a federation soldier or a mercenary
>>381838284
Poor communication and translation between NoJ and NoA. Bounty Hunter also made her feel more 'heroic', while mercenary is kind of associated with undesirables that are more interested in destabilizing things to cash in on the ensuing havok. They could have also been trying to cash in on the Star Wars craze and the association of masked Bounty Hunters like Boba Fett.
>>381837954

>>381806285
I love this thread.
Why are space pirates always just drawn as little fuzzies? Because its easier that way I guess?
It would be pretty cool if there was a spinoff Prime game where you got to play as the Pirates invading the worlds from the first 3 Prime games, fighting off the natives, and setting up their bases. There can be different classes like Black Karate Pirate, Commando, Jetpack, Trooper, etc. In the latter part of the game Samus could appear like the SA-X and you have to set up your defenses to distract her so you can book it. It could be a fun way to add more character to the Space Pirates.
>>381841467
Simplification of how they looked in Super and Zero Mission, weird jaggedy crab people. They look drastically different in every game anyway, you could draw practically anything and call it a Space Pirate.
>>381841467
first mspaint comic of them was the fuzzy look because the artist could barely draw
but it stuck so well as a simple style and became the "go-to" for tubes
>>381841467
The first few comics were very poorly drawn, and it kind of just snowballed from there.
>>381840906
The tileset art for it was fun
>>381841684
But they weren't jaggedy in Super or Zero Mission. They were quite smooth.

>can't kill her - can either impede her progress until she decides some other Pirate colony that's doing worse shit deserves her attention more than you, or inflict enough damage to make her retreat (waiting for her to leave will result in a good amount of shit destroyed, but only occasional visits with light weapons - attacking her will result in an unpredictable string of raids with an ever increasing arsenal, ramping up the collateral damage with each attack unless you can keep forcing her away)
>can eventually build shield generators to protect your base from the GF and anti-orbital guns to kill them before they land, but Bounty Hunters will always sneak in undetected
>have to strike a balance between how large your base is and how efficient it is at producing shit - High Command expects you to meet a quota, but the more facilities your base has the more troops the GF will send against you, and the more damage Samus will inflict upon each subsequent visit, and she'll take longer and longer to leave

>in periods of down time you still have to watch out for native wildlife trying to tunnel into your complexes to eat your crops and personnel

>can occasionally call in Pirate enforcers like Ridley, Kraid, or Weavel to help beat back the GF, maybe even forcing Samus to retreat before she wrecks your shit
>equipping and housing a proper Science Team can allow you to gain access to powerul bonuses as well as crazy upgrades and special abilities that disregard morality and safe science
>the Chozo sprinkled their shit all across the universe - recovering and researching the race's random relics will lead to mastery of technologies like the Screw Attack and Morph Ball
>can establish alliances with fellow "bad guy" civs like the Kriken Empire from Prime Hunters or the corrupt elements of the GF as seen in Fusion (doing favors for the latter, such as breeding Metroids, will result in decreased attention from the GF military and Samus, but not from independent Hunters going after you for private contracts)
>you can never truly win, only last as long as possible until your base is wrecked or High Command decommissions you for poor performance, leading to the vicious cycle repeating all over again on a new procedurally generated world

Posting a bunch of random bullshit does not constitute "board culture". I'm convinced the only people even concerned with "/v/ culture" are faggots that came here from ifunny or KYM and are upset that every thread here isn't like the hirarious screencaps they saw. Culture is something that springs up on its own, not something you artificially impose.
>>381842637
There should have been some kind of perk or powerup during the short segments where you were running around with some of the Planetary Energy.
Maybe your offensive abilities become stronger or something, I dunno.
You never hold on to it for very long so I can understand why they didn't do anything, but it just doesn't seem like Samus is carrying around any extra power despite the fact she fucking starts glowing when she absorbs it.
>>381842524
this board has literally become reddit, but hey at least the newfags enjoy it.
>>381843086
This. Tubeposting is a glorious example of /v/ culture.
Shit like /v/ermin fight club is forced as fuck and not even related to video games. Shit should be in /b/. It's basically a variation of Hunger Games threads, which are supposed to be banned sitewide except /b/.
>>381842417
>there is no /v/ culture threads. if you're not literally discussing a video game the thread is deleted
All of the best /v/ "culture" memes happened through discussion of videogames and jokes naturally evolving into running gags

>>381831120
I remember when I requested somebody to edit this tacobell ad
>>381843339
/v/ermin isn't necessarily bad or forced, but it probably belongs on /qst/ instead of /v/ now.

It was a serviceable but fairly mediocre and forgettable co-op shooter.
It saddens me, because I've always wanted a dumb fun single-player FPS where you play as a GF Marine, shooting up Space Pirates with your squad n' shit. But after FF's financial failure, I'll probably never see one.

It could have been pretty damn great.
I unironically think the 3DS is a really REALLY damn good platform, but the lack of good third person and first person shooters is a bit disheartening. Mercenaries was great, but could really have used some touchups with a New 3DS patch
