3D models also allow for a wider range of angles and activities than sprites do. The free aim in this game might be possible in a 2D game without looking like poo poo, but it would take a completely unnecessary amount of time and effort.

From what I've played of the game, you really are supposed to master the melee counter and use it against anything that presents the opportunity. Granted, everything that has a counterable attack will telegraph it with that slow windup and the yellow "spark". AFAIK, Arachnos just doesn't have any counterable attacks. Also, the melee counter enables one-shot kills with the Power Beam, so in the interest of saving time and missiles, you should be using it on most enemies after you counter them. There are circumstances where the Ice Beam is better (Metroids, those bug-like enemies that bomb you, any time you get the opportunity to shoot something before it charges you), but I keep the Power Beam equipped most of the time, personally.

IIRC, in Metroid Prime you could kill Metroids with any weapon. Ice Beam was simply more effective. Power Bombs were a one-shot.

Either way, once you have the Plasma Beam (assuming it pierces enemies), the actual Screw Attack, or the Speed Booster, you probably wreck them.

 After watching: Note that there is a map key in the Settings tab of the map screen (the "i"). And IIRC, the empty circles are used pretty much exclusively for Missile packs and maybe Energy Tanks (although I think they have their own icon); actual upgrades appear differently.

It seemed intuitive enough for me, at least.

pointlessone posted:You did way better on that chase sequence than I did. I took about 10-12 attempts on that last section because I was awful at swapping from weapon to grapple in that spike part. Welcome to the point where Samus starts to feel like like Samus. It only gets better from here!

Yeah, it's kind of poorly communicated in-game, but any time you're pressing R to free aim and not also set to missiles, the Grapple Beam overrides the beam you have equipped when targeting a grapple point. Including both the red and blue points, as well as the mining robot's eye-thing.

You're probably thinking of the term "abandonware"; stuff so old nobody cares about it anymore, so it's effectively public domain. Maridia is the name of an area in both Metroid/Zero Mission and Super Metroid, but I don't remember which one it is.

Yeah, I figured they were probably right.

Also, keep in mind that older editions of D&D gave out experience points commensurate with the GP value of earned treasure; a character from a Monty Hall campaign would end up not only with better gear and more robust finances, but also simply overleveled.

I think they were talking about Gurdurr/Conkeldurr, actually, although I could be wrong.

get that OUT of my face posted:I forget which thread it was, possibly this one, but in Japan, Samus is supposed to be something that has no real equivalent in the West.
