I know you get sent back to the docking port of the main sector, i'm asking if there is another ending after you complete it 100%
*edit* forgot i am obligated to do a post
mid?
Yeah I definitely don't agree with those who say it's the weakest metroid. but then again I like chrono cross more than chrono trigger so I guess it's just different strokes.

It tried something new, but failed pretty hard at it.

Ridley's shed skins still had color in their skin and had a very noticeable tear in the body somewhere where his new form would have burst from. The Ridley body near the end, on the other hand, has had its color drained (just like Metroid victims) and completely lacks a noticeable tear on its body. He was Metroid chow.
Also, on a related note, the drained Ridley body is most likely the same Ridley body as the one frozen in Metroid Fusion. When you first see the X mimicking Ridley, he's devoid of color and statuesque prior to transforming, just like a Metroid victim.

Well, you get it near the very end, right before key hunting, so that's probably why you don't remember it.LiveFromKyoto said:

Just to add to what the other guy wrote:
I had heaps of trouble with this part too. For the first two times I tried it, she would shoot out the three metroid group almost immediately after the two metroid group, leaving me with five metroids floating around. It was pretty much impossible to freeze and missile any number of them without getting head raped by an unfrozen one. On my third try, she didn't throw out three metroids until after I had killed the second group. So, if that's the same problem you're having, keep retrying until she decides to go easy on you! :lol

So who was
the Deleter? Also, why in the escape sequence does Samus wear her Zero suit? she can't carry a helmet with the arm canon or what? lol
Was anyone else shocked to see Seeker missiles in this game? I mean they were pretty much only used to open one door and not very useful in combat, but I was surprised to see any reference at all to the Prime games.
And speaking of references to the Prime games, the big two-legged thing in Sector 2 totally should've been a Sheegoth.

I was really hoping
we'd get to fight MB :-(

Goddamnit.
I was enjoying my experience.
That was until I arrived at a point in Sector 1 (I think I'm about 4 hours in) that consist of a very long segment where you're forced to play with this awkward 3rd person view point. This his followed by what seems to be a boss fight exclusively played in first person view, where I have to shoot missiles on a specific part of his body
, but that shit is moving to fast for me!
Am I doing something wrong here or this part of the game really is that bad? Can anyone here give me some advice to get through this? I've never been that pissed by a Metroid game before.

No that point is just bad. ForGrimReaper said:Goddamnit.

the tail thing I just aimed constantly at the tail, following the rhythm of it until it paused rather than wait for it to stop and then aim.

Hold B to lock on, then shoot A to fire missile.
I just looked at it and pointed whenever it stops. You're probably just one hit away. It's the only time you have to endure something like that though.GrimReaper said:Goddamnit.

Uh... huh... I think I just reached the end of the game (the credits at least) and I feel like this game just grinned to an immediate halt while propelling me through a windshield at about 80 mph.

- Hm...
kinda sucks.

In all... ugh. This gives a new emphasis to "grind to a sudden halt" in terms of video games. But there is a glimmer of hope...

Guh... I sure picked the wrong Metroid to never play. Hell, I didn't even know Samus self-authorized Power Bombs in this fight. Given how this is the one thing that the game doesn't elaborate on at all, I imagine people who never played Metroid II will be very, very, very lost in the Metroid Queen's final phase.
- Hey, the Melissa stuff was actually pretty interesting! And given her capabilities, maybe she's one of the first humanoid enemies outside of Dark Samus and the SA-X that can give Samus a good run for her money! Maybe this will be-oh... You... don't even fight Melissa. You... just do a shitty forced first person battle with reduced energy, bugs everywhere (usually clipping right through your field of vision), and all you have to do is target Melissa (once you even notice that she's still in the fucking room in the distance of bug enemies roaring and getting up in your face).

Clone Ridley
Original Ridley
- It's actually pretty fascinating that the story really, really picks up after Adam dies and after Samus stops monologue about stuff so often. Too bad it was so damn late for it to make me overlook the 5 other hours of bullshit.
In all... ugh. This gives a new emphasis to "grind to a sudden halt" in terms of video games. But there is a glimmer of hope...
The epilogue!

My personal tip is just to keep your aim hovering between the two spots he moves his tail, the lock on will trigger for you and when he pauses you can just fire off a shot. If you try to keep up with the tail then you'll get flustered.
Why does this make you sad? It's pretty neat that they have this type of packaging in Japan. Or are you disappointed that this same type of packaging isn't being offered in other territories?Tenbatsu said:

So can someone tell me what the fuck I'm supposed to zoom in on? In Sector 1 still:
I swear to god I've slowly panned over everything and I can't figure it out
when the one guy goes down and the other troopers are standing over him.

I'm not sure what is so wrong with it. Looks fine to me.

It seemed like a better idea just to mash B there.
But yeah,
that slow ass walking segment + that awkward fight + investigate the green goo on the green ground

There's a green splat on the ground to your right from the default view you started at. Yeah, really weird.

Thanks.
I did exactly as you said and it worked like a charm.
You just need to follow it and wait until it stops moving, then shoot your missile. I was trying to shoot as soon as it was locking on.
Well it might be "wasted" effort in regards to having any discernible positive effect on sales, but it's still nice to see an effort being madeTenbatsu said:The effort spent in designing that packaging will not be reflected in the sales of the game in Japan
Besides, maybe this packaging will create a few more import sales ;-)Thaedolus said:
Oh god those parts are fucking terrible. There are a lot of things in this game that made me thing, "What were they thinking?" - the controls, the story, Samus's VA, "authorizing" weapons - but those? Those were just the stupidest fucking things ever. And the fact that you can sit there looking around for ten minutes and the game gives you no goddamn clue what you're supposed to be looking for is pretty fucking infuriating.
