The rock dude and the phazon pirate guy were the lamest, Ridley and the final boss were pretty decent, though. Rock guy is much better with pointer controls since you can shoot him in the rolling phase. Also adult chykka owns

i love the early plasma beam and early ice beam tricks in mp1's original release doing the whole plasma beam skip is one of the most rewarding sequence breaks in the entire series

if you fall off you can get back up but you have to a weird l-lock spring jump to get enough distance to get back on the platforms.

I had four points there actually. I liked that it wasn't necessary to get every capsule t finish the game, and you came across enough of them naturally for you to be able to reach the ending. It was also cool to have a final area that you could visit whenever you wanted to and chip away at it.

The key hunting never bothered me but the special area in 3 was pretty cool. It was nice how they marked your map with the locations of powerups once you were basically done with the game. I just don't really care for the environments, the abilities, or the enemies as much as I did in 2.

the environments and music in 3 were amazing, the pirate base was loving cool and intimidating as hell the control improvements were good, the difficulty was good instead of 1 where the game was a farce and 2 where the game had absurd difficulty spikes it was also the prettiest of the 3 without argument. i mean sure it came out later but it maxed out whatever the wii could do if they took out 95% of the cutscenes and all of the poo poo where mother brain talks to you even if you loving turn off hints it would be my favorite one by a mile tbh but those are the main things that drag it down

i loved the stacking beams in 3 i just didn't like that you spend 90% of the game with the default beam and a very mild upgrade to that and then you get a murder cannon

01011001 posted:the third i meant. i liked the differentiated beams in 1+2 though i wish it was a bit more of a tradeoff Fair. I liked in Prime that beams would all affect enemies differently, but it was annoying to switch to a beam just to open a door. Really this should have been fixed in the rerelease by making it so that as long as you had the beam at all you could open the door, or like a tiered thing where the plasma beam would open all doors, because why would you not be using the plasma beam.

i mean its not as big a deal when its one button press to swap but yeah i dont see the harm in making it so any beam opens any door as long as you have the right one

It became annoying in Prime 1/2 with the control chang because sometimes I would try to quickly swap and the weird beam swap screen wouldn't read my waggle correctly

My last memory of Prime 3 is trying to play on Hard after beating it the first time and fighting some boss that had a bunch of Glowing Weak Points you had to destroy simultaneously. Hard mode just turned him into a bullet sponge though, so beating the boss was 15 minutes of holding my arm in uncomfortable positions and mashing B really hard. The moral of the story is that playing Prime with Wii controls kind of sucks if you're not on a couch or something to rest your arm on, and hard modes that just add a bunch of health to enemies suck. tyvm.

yeah i did not like the flat double health for all enemies thing in the metroid primes. certain enemies needed a health boost for sure but most of the time it just made it a pain boss that NEEDED a health boost: omega pirate boss that becomes a total slog with double health: metroid prime core

Simply doing a flat boost has almost never worked right health wise for enemies in any game when raising difficulties sadly.

metroid prime (as in the boss), when on low health, will do this thing where his attack animation will play way faster and it just kind of sucker punches you i hoped that random enemies would do this in hard mode or gently caress anything new at all but nope everything has more health and deals more damage that's it

simple damage/health scaling is like the least interesting way to increase difficulty possible.
