Scrub-Niggurath posted:Died trying to get that energy tank in magmoor that requires 3 double bomb jumps in a row The trick is to lay the second bomb just as the first one starts it's implosion animation. Morph ball jumping was a massive pain until I figured that out

Bobnumerotres posted:the introduction for metroids in prime 1 is pretty great, in prime 3 it is epic and eerie as gently caress. 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

Bobnumerotres posted:that sounds loving terrible actually They only turn up in tourian and you get a full replenish before the final boss so they're basically the only hazard of the map alongside those two elite pirates and there's only like two or three of them then, I thought they were pretty cool

AHungryRobot posted:i can't say i've ever noticed what that guy is talking about. i've played PB plenty of times and the metroids still go down in 5 missiles/1 super missile. you also shouldn't be letting yourself be caught by one the first place. Huh I just looked it up and you're right. Weird, I could swear the Metroids were alot harder that time, sorry for my weird hallucinated misinformation

Acquire Currency! posted:Okay so I'm playing that project base. Redone sprite colors look retarded and Ceres station didn't even trigger a countdown after Ridley just flew away immediately I liked it for the QoL improvements but some of the changes were really stupid. Why the hell would you take out the item get jingle

Was there always a point of no return in Fusion? I just got the last order to blow up the station and the doors to all the environments are sealed ... I kinda hope it's a bug because putting an unsignposted point of no return in a Metroid game would be unthinkably stupid ...

On the virtual console version you can, the elevators to the different sectors all work and the save points and recharge stations are usable, it's only the doors to main areas which are sealed rip my 100% run, killed in it's infancy by the world's worst design decision

The only time it's really any kind of limit is in boss fights, where there's an actual chance you may run out and have to switch to super missiles or farm adds for a while to get your ammo levels back up That's like the only time though and I think it was probably just put in there to make the game feel more stressful, given the game's focus on difficulty and hostile environments

I just beat Dark Samus round 2 and I'm pretty certain this is the worst of the trilogy. Sanctuary Fortress is a ton better than Torvus Bog but it's still a huge, difficult to navigate drag. I spent about 40 minutes wandering around after I got the power bombs trying to figure out where to go next, turns out some inconspicuous cylinders were actually rubble and I needed to power bomb them to reveal a switch which was gating the critical progression path It's really hard to believe these were the same people who made Metroid Prime, which had some of the best and most intuitive map design ever

Bobnumerotres posted:you mean the giant pile of cylinders that are clearly blocking a doorway that you can scan and the game tells you you need powerbombs for it? and you have to see them while you're in that generator room? No they're not blocking a doorway, they're stopping a bomb slot from popping up in the corner of the room with no visual indication that is the case. I mean yeah I ended up just revisiting every room with my scan visor on and saw it was a destructible object eventually but that place is loving huge and keeping a mental note of every interactable object from the first time you scan it is a pain, especially when it's neither marked on the map and nor a clear obstruction

I just died against Quadraxis' final form, turns out you've got to stun him before you can boost-ball onto his head ...

I think even in a gameplay led game like Prime 1 good writing can be worthwhile, like the scan-log elaborations on the state of the world and Pirate Science Team but yeah giving a poo poo about canon is pretty sad

What's the deal with the shinespark blocks with no run up in Zero Mission? I've come across like four different sections where I've no clue how I'm meant to break through, is there some obscure special tech I'm missing?
