I'm playing through Prime 2 right now, it's my first playthrough. I'm collecting the keys for the second Dark Temple. But holy shit, Dark/Light Beam suck. I really don't like the mechanic of balancing use for ammo restocking, most of the time I just use the regular power beam even though it takes longer, just because there's no risk of running out of ammo then having to explode crates so I can open a door.

>>382191276
How many ammo expansions have you found? Once you get one or two you have a lot more to work with than the initial 50 ammo. But still, there are enough crates that it shouldn't be a problem, unless you get OCD because you get to max ammo with one beam and then have to use a shot to max out your other beam ammo and you're always missing one shot of either type.

How do you guys feel about a Metroid anime?

>>382191276
that is also one of my gripes with 2, that and some of the bosses where too hard, even when you knew what you where doing. at least for me I feel no joy beeting them I just feel glad there over.

Would be perfect with a short format, probably better if they go with a spooky vibe than an action tone.

I guess they want to make more? Miyamoto seems intent on making Star Fox more popular, what with SF2 and all. I think Metroid would work wonders if done well.

Not digging Super's controls, and the game as a whole feels sluggish when compared to Fusion. Zebes seems to be a static world compared to one that really felt alive like Fusion's space station. Just beat Phantoon. Does it get better, or am I just missing something?

Most people dislike how "floaty" Super feels after playing Zero Mission or Fusion. There's a hack that changes the controls to be more like ZM.

The physics and controls do take a bit of getting used to. Once you really get a feel for them, the game will feel faster. There's potential to have really precise, crisp platforming in Super (just look at any speedrun), but if you don't know all of the nuances of how Samus moves then it can feel clunky at times. While I generally prefer how Super plays, I can admit that the GBA games had tighter, more intuitive controls and the platforming was designed really well around those controls.

To add to this a bit, this example here. It doesn't look all that impressive, but the jumps are pretty hard to do precisely enough to bypass the need for the grappling beam.

>>382191276
You can charge an empty gun to shoot a weaker beam, still works for doors.

>>382191276
Ammo is almost never an issue. There are crates and living storage caches (seriously what the fuck is wrong with the luminoth) everywhere, and shooting those as well as killing enemies will drop ammo for the opposite beam. It's piss-easy to get stocked back up on ammo. Even when you run out you can charge a weaker shot and that's still good enough to get ammo to drop.

It is. Even harder when the missile is there, because you need to sit through the fanfare and anticipate when the game will start back up again right before your walljump input. There's a backup strategy though. The backup is also hard.

Only if they really fix the story mode. Either that or just make a more fleshed out version of the online with frequent patches and free DLC like their other games and sell that digitally for like, $15 or something.
I like Hunters but it sucks that the story mode is so lack luster with a really cool premise and actual bounty hunting. It'd be cool to have Prime sized worlds to get lost in and have to track down the other hunters when they steal your shit.

What kind of games do you normally play? I know some people who mostly play 2D or limited 3D games will often have problems switching over to 3D but if it's just one specific game that's really strange. Maybe it's the weird dark lighting mixed with random bright lights, flashing, and all that?

Metroid related vidya confession time:

I've beaten every 2D Metroid and played most of the 3D ones. I'm still absolute garbage at both walljumping and bombjumping. Bonus: I still like to get as many collectables as possible, and at least twice during Super I hacked the game so I could get two missile expansions that required those techniques to reach.

Forgive me /v/.

>>382198360
When you say usually do you mean you sometimes get it with other games? Sorry to play 20 questions with you, I just know how much it can suck to not be able to play games.

>>382198482
.....

>>382194403
I actually like the comparatively sluggish feel that Super has in the sense that you can really feel like you're slowly exploring the planet. That and in general, the whole "it feels like you're on an alien world." I suppose I like the actual controls of the GBA games more, but I really don't have a preference, myself.

>>382198482
This is unacceptable! I demand you commit ritual sudoku!

>>382191276
I preferred this because it at least gave you a use for your power beam and balanced the effects of the plasma and ice beams.

In Prime 1 you never had a reason to utilize the power or wave beam by the end of the game unless the enemies were making you play a game of Simon. The amount of beam switching you had to do every couple of seconds in Phazon Mines and Impact Crater got stupid.

Combat overall in Prime 1 was fucking mindless besides the final two bosses.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, since you can skip this Chozo Ghost fight after picking up X-Ray, with enough sequence breaking you should be able to beat this game with only two ghost encounters. One in the Hall of the Elders, and one in the Sun Chamber.

An RTS or something in which you play as the Space Pirates, set after Prime 3 so they've just been kicked off of the Pirate Homeworld, and the surviving forces wage a planet-hopping war campaign against the GF to get their stronghold back. Samus isn't around to stop them because she's busy killing everything on SR388. Eventually they reach Zebes again, just in time to set up for Super's events.

The first has a similar emphasis on exploration and upgrades that further exploration that Super does, with slightly less in the way of sequence breaking that doesn't involve glitches.

I liked him in Fusion because his reemergence from the AI near the end was well-done and memorable. Perhaps due to his smaller role in Fusion, he was professional and respectful of Samus, as she deserves for being such a legendary hero (even including the majority of the game where he was an emotionless AI, Fusion was 99% gameplay, while Other M was HEAVY with cutscenes).
Obviously in Other M he was hit hard by the awful writing making all of his decisions completely nonsensical, as well as every other characters interactions with him nonsensical by extension (why respect and follow order from an idiot with no logic behind his decisions?). Even aside from that though, he was a condescending asshole to Samus and seemed to do everything he could to impede her own agency in the story, even though she is still a legendary hero. He's definitely one of the worst parts of Other M, and that speaks volumes.

It was totally forgettable. I forget it even happens until the scene where it occurs. The good thing about Adam in Fusion is that he's totally out of the way in regards to just about everything Samus' does. He does nothing to impede you with the exception of a 10 second cutscene where Samus screams at him. The fact that he is forgettable is his best trait.

>>382203076
I agree with this. Adam in Fusion was meh at best. I didn't really give a shit about him one way or the other. The X were a great villain and took all the spotlight.

She's very nearly the same height as the suit in every game except Other M, which is the only one that has used an obnoxious heel. Even in ZM, when she's running around the ZS, it's a boot, not a heel. It fits perfectly inside the suit.

It's really more of a proof of concept than anything. It's fun, at least for awhile, but if you play it without a map you will inevitably get hopelessly lost very quickly. The powerups are also not implements properly so you can fuck yourself if you do the icebeam out of order.

It has some major issues but it is playable. Besides the lack of a map the biggest sticking point is when you die you start at 30 energy. Every time you die you have to grind to get your health full again and the enemies don't drop much health at a time.

If you really want to play it and want to fix these issues there are numerous mods for the game. One of the best adds some better animations and music (from the fds version) as well as a minimap.

Why the fuck is Fusion so gad damn easy?
I just finished it and the only time I died was once during the mega core X fight because I didn't know I was supposed to charge beam it, other than that it was pretty piss easy, like the Ridley fight literally took me 10 seconds.
At least some parts were suspenseful like SA-X chases.

Super > Zero Mission > Fusion
They're all good games though.

>>382207287
desu most games made after the SNES era and even then were piss easy if you know how games work

you have to really seek out games that punish you, play multiplayer games, or follow silly house rules to get a challenge. which is funny and all since we inherited this mindset from arcades which only made hard games to take our coins.

>>382207457
Eh, I mostly play games for story and atmosphere, whether it be unsettling, beildering, or comfy.
My favorite games are probably

Halo CE
Super Metroid

I do play Halo Multiplayer though.

>Hey Kid. Wanna go on a Space Adventure?

I wouldn't put it on the same level as Super Metroid in terms of freedom of movement, but it does give you some cool things to work with. In any case, I'd recommend it for the good exploration, a pretty neat story, and the big variety of weapons. And the music. That boss theme is rad.

AM2R did a pretty good job of adding fins, I think.

>>382206497
Prime will always be stuck in-between Metroid 1 and 2, Sakamoto handles the main series and he's already stated that Samus Returns opens the door for the 2D Metroid franchise in the day 1 Treehouse event and hinted that they are working on 2D Metroid Dread (Metroid 5) in the IGN interview, also going by his Gamespot and Kotaku interview Dread will appear on the 3DS likely in 2019 since it will most likely mostly use the Samus Returns engine.

>>382209093
A while yet I think. Nintendo where talking about how it surpassed 66m sales and they want to continue supporting it.

>>382209093
Probably that year or 2020, Pokemon RPG will be released in 2019 so it will eat up the 3DS user base and that's when we will see a massive jump in Switch sells.

>>382209168
>>382209190
desu the smart money in my opinion would be to just put all their eggs in one basket and release everything on Switch. They've been hurt by the nogaems sickness and splitting their studios between the two doesn't help

>>382209370
3DS is a fail safe, Nintendo wants to make sure that the Switch can keep selling well, since the 3DS is what saved them from the Wii U crisis, basically what the GBA did to the GameCube. Since the 3DS is still selling, they want to keep it alive for a couple more years, plus Sakamoto interested in the dual screens for gameplay and map as seen in Samus Returns since he never got that chance to make a 2D Metroid for the DS, so while this game is his test, Metroid Dread will be the full Metroid game made for the 3DS while pushing the Metroid series story forward again. After Dread though, I can see Metroid 6 releasing on the Switch only.

>>382209370
3DS is literally half of their entire business. That's colossally retarded.

>>382209097
Indeed. It's ridiculous how many people have turned on it since Samus Returns was announced.
Why can't people just like both?

>>382209754
Because AM2R is a terrible, poorly designed game with a lackluster soundtrack?

It's completely and totally overrated.

1st: Fusion
Favourite: Shit, probably Fusion.

I love all the 2D games, but Fusion will always hold a place in my heart just because of how atmospheric the game was and how it still makes me feel uneasy today.

Being scared of the SA-X as a kid still sticks with me, and everything from the eerie music to the "EMERGENCY IN SECTOR 3" part still gets me.

Is Metroid Fusion generally hated by most Metroid fans? It was the first Metroid game I played and I thought it was great, despite not being as open as other games.

>>382209991
I'm fine with this, I hope they add GBA VC to the new 3DS so I can play every single 2D Metroid game
Metroid NES
Metroid II GB
Super Metroid SNES
Metroid Fusion GBA
Metroid Zero Mission GBA
Metroid Samus Return 3DS
Metroid Dread 3DS

>>382214017
Metroid games are usually a bit heavy on backtracking, I used to dislike it but now when I hear that the new one on 3DS is going to get teleporting it kinda ruins it for me. Part of exploration and looking for secrets is having to visit the same rooms more than twice.

Also I would try Zero Mission first instead. Prime might not leave the same impression. I think I wouldn't enjoy Prime the same if I didn't experience Super Metroid first, even though one's 3D and the other one is 2D.

>>382214619
A 3DS is a pretty damn good investment, if you can just wait until the 2DS XL to get the better deal. People say the 3D effects on the new metroid are so amazing, but I felt the same about OoT3D and still I don't use 3D at all, because it sure is nice looking, but not comfortable.

Also if you mod it (which by the way, the 2DS XL will be moddable, I can guaranfuckingtee it) you get to play every 2D metroid except for the fangame (hell, even romhacks, which there are many for super metroid)

Is it autism to not like something?

>>382216645
>stop liking what I don't like!

yes it is

>>382216689
Who told anyone to stop liking things?

>>382216112
stop recommending fucking fan games

might as well recommend rom hacks

>>382216720
His autism.

Prime any%: 1:53
Fusion 1% Hard: 1:15

>>382216765
Fuck off shill

>>382216297
good luck anon!

>>382216765
I'll recommend them if they're better than the original games.
You should be complaining about the faggots who keep recommending that GBA-style hack for Super. That's something you should get pissed about.

>>382216890
not op but ive never heard of this. sound like some garbage, i want to play it

telling newcomers to play a fans interpretation of a game with shitty online flash game tier sprites is fucking dumb

It should be ZM>Super>Fusion then Prime games. then either play the original GB game or wait till September for the 3DS remake. a fan game should be played after you've seen the original experience

>>382216950
it basically fucks up all the physics because GBAbbies thought it was too floaty. There's some good stuff in there though like Control Freak inputs and somersaults out of regular jumps.

>>382216991
>telling newcomers to play a fans interpretation of a game with shitty online flash game tier sprites is fucking dumb

oh the ignorance and overflowing stupidity behind this sentence.

>>382216038
pick any one. play a little, if you like it keep going, if you dont, try another one

>>382216950
Not him but it is garbage. Just check on romhacking.net

Seriously I think the only hack that I could like that changed mechanics around was project base. It has a lot of shit that I quite like. Hyper Metroid uses that as a base. Project Base is like a fucking Super Metroid +.

>shills and marketers don't exist on /v/ they said

>>382216812
ooh fusion 1%, dont see that too often nowadays. nice pb anon

>>382217034
what is exactly wrong with his post? i mean its right the game takes its own liberties to the original and some sprites look really cheap/wonky looking

>>382217092
Is it shilling when I tell him to play the other games made by Nintendo too?

ZERO MISSION AND SUPER METROID ARE OVERRATED

FUSION IS THE BEST 2D METROID

>>382217206
No way, Fusion is linear and piss easy compared to the other 2, the physics aren't as tight and it has bizarre mechanics.
Still good though.

>>382217106
I'm fond of low% runs personally, I also enjoy 9% ZM although Ridley fucks me up on hardmode.

Gotta try Super some day, but I don't think I'd enjoy a 14% run exactly.

>>382217206
Super > Fusion > ZM

>>382196651
>tfw you noticed Hunters has the best gunplay among Prime games
Yes we all know that these games aren't shooters but I hope P4 will feel better considering Switch has dual analogs and not forced motion controls.

>>382205949
>>382206083
Except Sakamoto is literally the only person who gives a shit about Adam and he's not going to be involved with Prime 4.

>>382217206
You are wrong

Super metroid is better than zero mission which is better than fusion. Truth right here

Do you think Metroid Dread will ever be a thing

Or at least, a new 2D metroid rather than a remake

I ain't asking for one exactly but I'm curious

>>382218624
>Do you think Metroid Dread will ever be a thing
Only if people like MSM. If not then the next thing about Metroid after Prime4 that we'll ever see will be a Super remake 15 years later

>>382218867
Man, I hope it sells decent. But at the same time, every game that I want to succeed to get another one either ends up succeeding and nothing happens, or doesn't sell well despite me spending money on it -just- for that purpose.

Why do so many people pair up Samus with Master Chief but so little pair her up with Doomguy?

>>382219009
We pair her with Doom itself, look into Space Hunter and Metroid Dreadnaught.

It's probably going to get the FE Awakening treatment where, if it doesnt't bomb, will get more 3DS games since they're are cheap to produce.

>>382219171
I would give someone else's kidney for a super metroid maker.

I'm shit at SMILE.

>>382219009
Not as dynamic, Samus and Chief are similar, having power armor and being brought up to fight as children, and exploring ancient alien shit while fighting aliens alongside a military force.
Doomguy is just a really really angry guy.

>>382219171
And also look like shit

>>382219009
Because Halo and Metroid Prime came out and got big at roughly the same time. If they release another new Doom around the time of Prime 4, we'd probably see more art of them.
