Bobnumerotres posted:i like how the wave beam overall dealt less damage than the power beam in trade for stuns and you think "oh so it's gonna be a trade-off" then you get the ice beam and if it doesn't one-shot something it gets frozen and setup for a shatter. Super did this as well, right before the Plasma room you have to shoot a pile of these surprisingly durable grubs, it's tedious because you have to kill them one at a time. Then after you get the Plasma beam you come out and just kill them all with one shot. http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/HugoBille/20120114/90903/The_Invisible_Hand_of_Super_Metroid.php Also this talks about Super Metroid level design (in a way) and it's really cool to read.

I always got nervous taking elevators in the original Prime because the game locked up on me once when taking a Chozo ruins elevator (I think?) and I lost some progress. I assume they removed that bug eventually.

I assume they removed that bug eventually. This can happen on any elevator or door in the game. You just got unlucky.

I assume they removed that bug eventually. This actually happened in my original copy as well. It was fixed by approaching the room before the elevator from a different room. I believe it didn't cause a freeze anymore after you got the next essential powerup.

That wouldn't be possible if the map design were horrible.

not perfect, but some of the greatest level design in a video game ever? without a doubt, if you ask me.

people can be hard on Prime 2 but it has some of the best boss battles in the trilogy on the other hand, the key quests feel really out of place

This is only the case in Prime 1, like half the Prime 2 keys require the last upgrade edit: oops you meant the keys needed for the other bosses, well, those are lame pretty much on principle

I'm still real bummed I can't get the Trilogy where I am, I scoured Tokyo looking for the Wii control remakes of 1 or 2 yesterday and couldn't find any. Echoes itself is like $85 on Amazon lol I bought Zero Mission instead last night and I'm happy to report it's a really good video game

The last artifact I got was the First of the Twelve. Going into the crater at 98%, I missed 2 missile expansions somewhere along the way.

Oh I remembered the bad part of the Metroid prime trilogy: you don't get to see the Prime 1 or 2 menus, it's all 3 style point and click bs.

Well here's my results: 98%, 6:27. I have an open challenge to fellow imps to beat that, although I know they will. Probably 20ish minutes of that was spent in the map view, and I accidentally went into the crashed frigate before I had the gravity suit.
