I died against the hornet boss, because i could not destroy the hive openings in one cycle. when i tried again, i really focused, and succeeded.

metroid prime is pretty drat good. i don't remember how far i got the last time i played, i think i was in the space pirate's base, and i had to fight the giant titan pirate. didn't get much farther than that.

right now i just got the ice beam, and i didn't get the scan to find the gravity suit until i was already neck deep in water, so i had to meticulously jump all the way to the top of the room underwater to get out. totally forgot i needed the gravity suit before i could progress in the water area.

just got the power bombs. around here is where i stopped last time so this is all uncharted territory for me now. the boss for the powerbombs was scary because i couldn't see it or even scan it, and i was walking into the room with half health

the wavebuster can see it and it's a hilarious fight if you have it

what is the wave buster. i had to beat the boss by going into thermal mode to follow it (even though it wouldnt lock on) and spam wave beam shots.

I'll find them. As soon as I escape from this phazon hell and also maybe acquire the grapple hook i am going to go ham on this world and explore every corner

the wavebuster requires roughly 600 missiles total and full concentration while holding the wii mote with two hands 10 inches from the screen for precision aiming

impressive.

i thought this was what was beyond that underwater room

still, hardly worth it unless you're going for 100%. youre kind of plopped in front of the entrance to phazon mines after getting the grav suit IIRC

Not really. You have to go through the crashed frigate. I had actually been to that room before and made a mental note to go back when I had the gravity suit, and I could have, but I forgot and went to explore the frigate instead.

I don't remember how far I got in prime 2 but I doubt it was much further than the boost guardian.

Phendrana has such amazing music and the whole area is super well designed. I remember as a retarded kid I was afraid of the Pirate Base there once the lights go off and would go out of my way to avoid it. Good times.

yeah

i found the plasma beam, and I've gotten the artifact you get for destroying the space pirate tower in phendrana. i have to venture into the phazon mines again and i fear for my life.

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 remember playing a pretty good amount of hunters, and the lava guy was my favorite. apparently there is one hunter who is by far the best out of all of them with regards to pvp. i dont remember which one it was but it was really bad

aside from bosses, is it possible to screw yourself out of 100% scans? im missing one pirate data, and one or two random creatures (i assume the last three are the final bosses), and a few research entries. i have the phazon suit at this point, and I have two artifacts left to get.

Did you get the Ice Shriekbats? Both types of turret? The parasites on the frigate? Map station? Did you get both the hive and the wasps in the two wasp bosses? Did you get Flaghraa and Flaghraa's Tentacles?

No. Yes. I think so. No. Pretty sure. Yes.

the pirate data i am missing is the one after "fall of zebes" and before "contact", so i assume its one i missed in the ding dang intro

It's really cool how in the tunnel that leads to the phazon mines elevator in Magmoor caverns, you can look out the window and see the impact crater. You also see the impact crater out of the elevators in phazon mines. The world is really well stitched together.
