This Hack posted:Purple Gravity suit in gameplay: though I can’t do much about what model the cutscenes use or the visor being green without affecting Varia, you will now get to run around in glorious purple when Gravity comes online. I loving forgot about this and now I'm pissed about it all over again.

I just did a stream of a run of Metroid Zero Mission and had a blast talking about it while I played it. It's a great game that holds up very well and I'm sorry that this guy chose to have a career in a thing he sucks at or whatever

TaurusOxford posted:I could have at least partially forgiven the misplaced Ridley boss fight at the end if they had just stripped Samus of all her upgrades throughout the battle's cutscenes. It was a huge missed opportunity to give a canonical reason why she doesn't have anything at the start of Super. gently caress, you're right!

Keep in mind, these are reviewers - "8-10 hours" might actually be "4-6 hours for a competent player." Which would still, honestly, be fine, but yeah.

Calidus posted:- The setting seemed kinda generic Agreeing with this, and adding that I hope that MercurySteam gets to do another. I feel like for their first original game they did the thing that Retro did where they relied heavily on "forest area, lava area, water area, enemy base" thing in Prime, getting only really creative with the ice zone. Then Prime 2 came out and had way more interesting and beautiful locales overall, in my opinion - hopefully MercurySteam gets a similar chance.

That's kind of my problem, though - every time there's a stand out song, it's because it's a rearrangement of an existing song that was already good. All of the new and original stuff is just kinda... bleh.

There's two kinds of opinions about EMMIs: there's "good but wish they iterated a bit more and weren't so contained," and there's "I am bad at video games"

Crossposted from the Switch thread, here are some feelings about the EMMIs, which I, in retrospect, don't really like very much. - Part of the tension that comes from the SA-X is the idea that it can appear anywhere - obviously if you've played Fusion you know where it's scripted to appear, but that first time, it scares the hell out of you when it does. Contrast that with the EMMIs, where the game tells you in every possible fashion that, hey, this next area is going to be one where an EMMI appears, so be ready for that. And then puts where it is on the map. And then gives you an audio cue so you know whether it's in the same room as you and how far away it is. And a visual to let you know where it's looking. They undercut how tense these encounters can actually be in basically every way that they could. - The other thing about the SA-X was that the entire game was building to an eventual confrontation with it, and every other time you encounter it, it is invincible. There's nothing you can do and no way for you to stop it - it is very clear that your only choice is to run. The EMMIs, meanwhile, start with you almost immediately destroying one thanks to an arbitrarily temporary power-up, and then cycles you through this process - you run away from them until you fight the big brain (which is another disappointment - a team that has played Metroid 2 and produced a remake of Metroid 2 should know by now that nobody is a fan of "fight the same boss multiple times") and then you destroy them. They don't feel intimidating and they don't feel powerful - knowing that you are fully capable of destroying them but are simply not allowed until the Specific Time makes your eventual triumph over them overshadowed by the tedium of the process. - If the EMMI can automatically detect you when you obtain the Hyper Beam or whatever it's called, why does it not just pursue you into the room where you fight the brains, which is a big straightaway and thereby probably the best place to shoot it? If they're too smart to walk into that room because you have the advantage, why does the rest of the encounter with them involve them walking into your bullet spray for an interminable period of time before dying? It feels very forced for not much fun. - If Samus' energy draining abilities let her absorb energy from machines, why do we even have to wait to fight them? Why doesn't she just grab one and, hey, job's done*? Why does the energy drain work on it after it's destroyed, when it presumably has no energy left with which to function? *note that this eventually straight up happens, and when she does so, the corresponding brain is shown to also die. If it works this way, why don't the EMMIs shut down when the brain is destroyed? I don't know, maybe these are nitpicky, but the EMMIs are my least favorite part of an otherwise really great game.

Non-glitch speedruns are generally a demonstration of the same set of skills that the average player is expected to use to complete the game, and as a result are easy for those players to become invested in watching. Personally, I think the reason I'm not interested in glitch-heavy speedruns is because I would need to understand a lot of tech behind it, and if I'd put that much effort into a very specific subset of exploits, I'd probably be more entertained by just clipping through the void myself on my own time. I don't know, I feel a combination of "to each their own, of course" and "but also probably nobody wants to see the Doom 2016 speedrun that's just clipping through walls for forty minutes."

You can tell the glitch speedrun community is very small because you have people who'll get upset about the suggestion that it's very small at the drop of a hat.

Bust Rodd posted:Grinding a specific skeleton or Axe Knight hundreds of times until they drop the magic spell or item you want (that you only know exists because of a GameFaqs post from 15 years ago) totally loving sucks and it’s one of the reasons I thought Bloodstained kind of sucked too. Yeah, I finally played Bloodstained a few months ago and was disappointed that so much of the apparently fun stuff was locked behind grind. Between that and there only being one movement ability that I obtained and thought was fun, I was deeply confused why so many people are so gaga for that game.

I didn't grind and not much of the stuff I did happen to find was fun anyway. Combat was very stilted and janky. Also there was one part where it was actually necessary to grind and I was irritated that I'd wasted a chunk of time because of it.
