It's kinda funny that the series is called Metroid and they're usually at the center of the plot as some kind of ultimate energy weapon but they're always some underwhelming midtier enemy.Bobnumerotres posted:i just aim for the belly and fire charged plasma shots and he goes down after a while, dont even have to stun him. its 100x easier in the wii version thanks to free aim The waveburster (is that what it's called?) owns the poo poo out of him.

the introduction for metroids in prime 1 is pretty great, in prime 3 it is epic and eerie as gently caress. prime 2 is just kind of like "lol oh no theres metroids..dont worry tho"

Tbf most of the metroids you deal with are barely hatchlings. Even a super metroid is kinda low in the pole, even it nearly kills samus. The omega could nearly one-shot samus

if they coated mochtroids in superglue or velcro or duct tape they'd pretty much be metroids. cloning project success checking that has reminded me that i really love the body language communication between samus and dark samus in 2

In Metroid Prime Hunters, there weren't any Metroids at all. However, in the Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo that came with the original DS, the training program did include Metroids for you to battle.

Bobnumerotres posted:a metroid that looks dumb and deals lovely damage..from far away! also abigger target for the ice beam no poo poo sherlock. i meant more about how they looked. they're pretty freaky looking compared to normal metroids imo. i mean by the time i played metroid prime i had seen normal metroids a poo poo load of times so they weren't as creepy any more and suddenly there's this loving weird red metroid? and it has a tentacle? what the gently caress?

Bobnumerotres posted:i just saw metroid prime hunters gameplay for the first time You missed out. The single player was merely passable, but the multiplayer was really good. I'd even go as far as to say the touch screen aiming is second only to mouse (yes, that means I think it's better than the Wiimote aiming). The FFA deathmatch type you played with strangers was meh but some of the other KOTH and CTF gametypes were sweet as gently caress. You could get headshots and poo poo it was great. My favorite guy was Sylux because he drained your health with electricity and lived forever

I really liked the Metroids in Project Base, they use the 'baby' sprites and are really tough and fast and take multiple power bombs to get them off you, they actually put a bit of the horror back I guess they were originally supposed to have as the energy draining monstrosities the series is named after

if metroids could just deal like, a tank or two before you shook them off it would be fine. but dont make them take multiple power bombs or make them a super tedious fight

there are a lot of mods for super metroid that involve making the expansions give you far less stuff and putting absurd platforming puzzles everywhere and poo poo, even near the beginning of the game. i understand the people that make these mods have played through SM 100 times and probably don't even remember the samus being hurt sound but god drat it is horrible design to just jack up the difficulty as high as possible for every room

I think the red guy could also one hit kill you with the sniper rifle in the head, but I don't really know. I didn't play the FFA deathmatch game mode much because it was lovely (it was timed and basically impossible to die, you could always go to your alt form and run away to heal pretty much).

What was Metroid Prime again, like some Metroid queen that burrowed into the sealed crater and absorbed the source of all phazon? But you kill that fucker and the boss of the other Prime games is like a clone of Samus made from Phazon goo after Metroid Prime exploded I thought? I dunno I don't really remember.
