Ok... continued impressions.
The game is starting to win me over. Why? The combat is pretty awesome.
Dpad movement works great with the structure of the environment.
Finishing moves are sweet.
Transition to first person is fast smooth and awesome.
not so great are the controls in first person. holding b to look is again stupid especially when it is also lock on. also shooting and missile both being a button is sometimes confusing.
Things I might like to try out in future games.
Pointer directed third person aiming instead of autoaim.
full FPS movement in first person.
This game really feels like a 3D fusion in many many ways.
With regards to other controversial aspects:
cutscenes and voice acting are ok. problem is again over narration by samus. make it a first person or third person perspective and do it well, right now it is a weird mixture of both. Example: we see samus wake up. She says: " I awoke ..."
I have mixed feelings about Adam's control of samus in the game...
and i hate the mole and flick of hair in her face.
Playing this makes me want a New retro metroid game that would include the best things about other m resulting in a completely awesome hybrid experience.
Speed of third person movement and combat.
other m slick look combined with retro's creature and environmental art.
scanning, logs, all that good stuff sadly not in other m.
First person elements for exploration and combat with full FPS freedom of movement when in that mode.
Someone please make this happen...

Hey guys, need some help.

Halp.
i just
Ran into the real Madeline, and then MB showed up, and then more GF guys outta nowhere, and then a buncha monsters appeared and I can't figure out how to kill them. It seems like once I do enough damage the turn into green pods...but I don't know how to finish them off.
its a first person only shoot out.

Yeah, it's pretty much pure fan service.MiamiWesker said:
I like that they went with a less obvious boss. Phantoon is one of the more challenging parts of Super Metroid, and it's a nice nod to fans on Team Ninja's part.

Shoot MB in the background instead.

Totally forgot which boss that was, its so random I thought it was some new version of mother brain (one eye creature), I really wanted the final boss to be mother brain. But now I remember, of course I remember that bastard. That was really cool.
It's funny and seems to be the general consensus that the game ramps up and up and really peaks at the end -- while it'd be nice to be amazing throughout, I hate when games end on a low note.

Sakamoto: Ha estado un tiempo fuera y ahora vuelve a los principios. En Japón sale a la venta mañana; creo que muchos seguidores de la saga Metroid están esperándola y se sentirán muy satisfechos con su vuelta a Japón. Sobre las Samus', es una pregunta complicada. Casi todo el mundo me pregunta por la serie Prime, que la meten dentro de la misma línea, pero son distintas. No tienen nada que ver, pero puede ser una forma de representar las facetas distintas de la personalidad de Samus. No quiero hacer divisiones entre la Samus occidental o la Samus oriental; para mí, la verdadera Samus para todo el mundo es la que vais a conocer con Metroid Other M.
Translation: She's been away for a while and now she's back to her roots. It comes out tomorow in Japan; I think many followers of the Metroid franchise are waiting for it and will be very satisfied with her return to Japan. About 'both Samus' [asked about their difference in character], it's a complicated question. Everybody asks me about the Prime saga, where they fit them in the same line, but they're different. They got nothing in common, but it could be a way of representing the diferent aspects [facets] of Samus' personality. I don't want to make divisions between western Samus and eastern Samus; for me, the real Samus for the whole world is the one you'll meet in Metroid Other M.

I have never understood why some people say that the Prime games are so different from other metroid games (especially MP1)
MP1 is more like super metroid than fusion and other M.
There is also not much of samus's personality showing up in the prime games. I really dont understand why sakamoto feels so detached from them

farnham said:please not. i want a new suit.
hint
Ironically both that suit and the fusion suit have very organic looks to them.

yuck
Final fusion suit is orange.
Boney said:
I feel the same way. The issues it has, which you've mentioned, keep it from being a perfect or elite status game but it's been seriously great. It's been an "AAA" game for me, worthy of it's spot in the Metroid series. The gameplay outside of the dumb stuff is just so good, especially the combat and boss fights.
After Other M, I think I'm gonna group them asamtentori said:
The Original Trilogy
The Prime Trilogy
And Fusion and Other M
All 3 are very different designs, but share enough characteristics to be part of the franchise.
As for character, I guess he sorta retconned, but it's still in line to what he's been presenting, so it's not too farfetched.

I can't figure out how to get the missile tank at the end of Sector 1. It's the area right before you enter the BioSphere Test Area and right after you fight one of those giant tree-like giraffe things. You can see the missiles and that they're on a ledge with a door, but the only way to get to them is thru that door. Anyone have any idea how to get this tank?

No, it has been a while like that, but you still get stars for registering your Nintendo products.farnham said:
Got to the credits last night, fooled around for a bit in the endgame. After having no clue how to get a few of the powerups just in the main sector, I don't think I'll 100% this anytime soon...
Overall, I think I had an easier time in the big bosses with health bars fights, than against some of the mini-bosses, since their weaknesses were usually much more obvious. That seems a bit backward, or at least made the big encounters feel less epic. Though, by the end of the game, I was just mashing the dpad before enemy attacks, which seemed to work 95% of the time, and saved me from having to learn any semblance of good timing. Yay for cheese! :lol

There is a foolproof instruction on your code card.farnham said:
But it's not like there is anything worthwhile you could use your stars for. I wouldn't even bother.

Post game stuff
I think those beetle things at the end are zeta or gamma Metroids. Anyone else feel like that.

You know I almost didnt pick this game up because of the "negative" buzz around it. I am glad I actually picked it up because this game just keeps getting better and better and I love it.
