The quality of the script is pretty laughable so far but drat it feels good to Metroid again

My only real gameplay complaints so far is that in the EMMI zones, the darkness and the static make it real hard to tell where I can even go (especially with the yellow doors you can go in and the slightly more orange yellow doors you cannot at first), and the parry timing on the EMMIs is hard to tell because one of the thirty tips it gave at once said "the flash", but it "flashes" like four separate times before you die lol. Is it any of them? Also it's weird that the "game over" to them is just five seconds of progress lost. Why bother, then? The game feels great but this whole thing with the EMMIs seems bad RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Oct 8, 2021 |

I get that it's a last resort but I mean I'm unsure which flash on it to even wait for Since there's no punishment for failure though I guess it doesn't matter

Orange Crush Rush posted:you get two attempts to break out if that helps, one where the EMMI gets close enough to Samus and another if you hosed up the first one and it has Samus in it's hands Oh that does, I thought it was to fake you out lol. I just got it off, thanks

Is it me or is the Samus model in the menu real phazony lookingKirios posted:Strong agree. I don't think RBA understands how awful the EMMIs would be if they did that. They're still incredibly tense and stressful without having to punish you like it's a PS1 game or something. I think the whole way they're designed is pretty poor, with the set rooms they can be in and zero punishment. There's no tension or anything at all, if anything it kills the groove.

The boss fights, EMMIs aside, have been super cool so far. My favorite touch in the game though has been in the "what is Metroid I'm not 30 Nintendo" recap at the start they had Samus in a render of the old super chunky Super Metroid suitSettingSun posted:There is a punishment. You get a game over. lol e: I will say though that I embarrassingly died to one of the basic baby enemies trying to determine if you can parry while holding a charge shot (you can), and I hosed up the timing until I died and got the setback I wanted lmao RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Oct 8, 2021 |

Ursine Catastrophe posted:This game really likes hidden blocks. If you're softlocked it's because they really want you to shoot at anything suspicious before letting you go free I was stuck for a bit because I shot a hidden block but couldn't roll over yet without the morph ball and it turned out it just wanted me to shoot one right below it, but also didn't register the twenty shots around it to see what was up the first few times lmao

Lol I just parried the green EMMI three times trying to figure out where the hell to go The cloak's vaguely useful in that you can cloak and hop over them and they won't notice but it's obvious that it can still see you and knows exactly where you are either way

Lol I'm glad I turned around after getting the wide beam to check out the door in the last EMMI zone since they don't set you back for trying at all. Doing so finally got me the morph ball, and also learned that hitting the chin of an EMMI doesn't count as the head, apparently, so aim high Actually, it seems like every single room checkpoints if you die, if dicking around with these turrets is any indication, which makes how much damage things do even weirder

What do you think is more annoying, seeing the same enemies that never seem to just be dead and reacquiring the same gear mission after mission or losing to the same person the same way time after time At least Kraid only gets owned twice before this lol

I wish there were more frames of animation between entering and leaving morph ball form or something. I don't want it to take longer but it looks strange to go from that to immediately doing a kick. Also some of these fire and particle effects seem extremely choppy lol

Lmao, the valve in Artaria. "Why do I hear the escape music oh no. More of that and less of the signposted robots please game that trap owned. Have an EMMI superslam through a wall or something later e: TBH I like all the one-ways and switch backs. I feel totally lost and like I'm stumbling on things early or wrong and it's totally intentional and I love it RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Oct 11, 2021 |

Surprise T Rex posted:I do enjoy this, like the game gives me the very strong feeling that I've just hosed up traversing the proper route and need to find a way back to where I just was so I can do it properly, but it turns out no that's exactly where the game wanted me to go. It's great but on the other hand I have only two energy tanks lol The game loves to dangle them out of reach e: Just got to Burenia. As a headsup, EMMI can and will chase you through morph ball points, apparently. It's really annoying having that really cool run from Artoria to Kraid then hitting a 50/50 to lose in the EMMI zone because they all dead end if you go the wrong way and choosing wrong. Despite encouraging you to just blast through and not give a poo poo, they just kill all momentum it feels like. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Oct 11, 2021 |

I feel like the quick dash could be used to break the game on your knee in some way and yet I haven't found anywhere of real value to do that. I keep trying to dodge attacks and failing with it too, it's not actually a teleport despite the appearance.

Lmao that the game checkpoints before EMMIs but not cutscenes Also lmao Chozo Warrior killed me more than I've died in entire Metroid games, but it took like ten minutes with how quick it is. Feels good! You can't counter his red attack right? I didn't just gently caress it up every time? I just hopped over it when I got the timing down but still. It looks like you should be able to do something badass to that

How do you hit that speed booster part in Artaria directly to the right of the red teleportal? It looks like there's no way to do so, unless you can somehow store a charge going up the ramp from the other side. The tiles coming from the portal aren't breakable at all. e: Oh, maybe that does do it and I should stop single bomb jumping my way up this loving wall lmao RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Oct 12, 2021 |

CuddleCryptid posted:They were mazes that you were supposed to lead the robot around in circles in and yet that never happens because you have a single door that you need to exit through and a single path to get out. It feels like they made the maze just to make it easier to do the final kill on the robot, which wasn't even that hard to begin with At least one EMMI room the doors lock when you get the cannon so you don't even do the maze Once I wrap up I don't think I'm going to bother trying to speedrun, I'm enjoying the game but I have no real desire to shoot the EMMIs another seven times. Unless there's a bigbrain way around it, I guess

I'm really liking most of the music so far, they're good remixes of the classic tunes. Though, it's hard to pick that out on occasion Unrelated but the aeion abilities feel pretty half-baked.

Should I really still have 6 energy tanks or so by the X-Chozo? I did two laps of the rest of the map. It feels weird always having three hits to die then losing in the cutscene poke lol

BTW just want to say I love how the X parasites look in this. They're all brightly colored gummy monsters even more than in Fusion, no attempt made to make them look "realistic", just flying jellies, it owns

The controls feel really janky in a way I can't describe when precision is required (like any shinespark puzzle, it's really obvious for most what to do with the issue being "will the game recognize ZL tap to slide to up left to down or will it miss one of those" or "please stop grabbing the corner, just fall") but outside that they're perfectly fine. e: With being underground, it's raining in at least one area so I guess not totally so RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Oct 13, 2021 |

Regy Rusty posted:I don't understand how pushing triggers with your index fingers impedes moving, jumping, or shooting with your thumbs. It's not like you have to hit multiple weird face buttons at once which would actually be awkward. Pushing one of the triggers impedes movement completely actually Jokes aside I think my problem with what the stick is doing is in how the game queues inputs or maybe how it doesn't, it's unwieldy but fine unless trying to bounce all over the place with the shinespark.
