I was a little disappointed that we didn't get a
second Ridley fight , since there was the double fight with the gravity/ metroid fusion boss, i hoped for one more fight with Ridley
I've looked around for hours and can't seem to find how do you get in to the room with the missile tank, the one you can see from the hanger. The door is locked, the computer is in the room with the missile and there are no morph ball holes that I can see. Was I suppose to get it earlier and can't now?

The etiolate metdown :lol :lol
I had him in my ignore list for some time now, but you quoted him to many times guys, so at the end, I was yet reading him. :lol
Well, im a huge metroid fan and im finding this game marvelous. Look, we can all play that game.
There are different tastes for different people, but saying you are a huge fan just to shit or praise a new game in that franchise, thinking you can validate like that your point, is wrong.

So they have what are essentially quick time events in this game.

That makes sense. I haven't been following this game at all. I just assumed it was being handled like Retro's Metroid games. I guess if Team Ninja was responsible for the story there would be none to speak of.Kard8p3 said:

With tank controls for his proton cannon...er, plasma beam.
As much as I hate the story, dialogue, voice acting, hidden item mini games, over the shoulder parts, and the fact it
, the actual gameplay and level design is amazing. And some of the puzzles and hidden items are actually challenging, not something I'm used to in a nintendo game these days.
I just wish it used a nunchuck(hold B to enter fps mode?) and that the music used more of the traditional metroid chimes we all know and love (like when you save). Overall, great game if you don't mind a soap opera-ish melodrama story in your Metroid. I'm about 7 hours in now, game keeps getting better and better
takes place on a giant ship and lava rooms ect are just holograms

(except for the ridley scene where Samus turns into a little girl, sigh...)

He'd likely end up getting banned again like he did a few months ago. He needs to understand that his way isn't the only way.
Still give me an anthony higgs mode and
a deleter/james mode just so I can control that machine in the boss fight. Also allow me to play adam destroying sector zero.

Rez said:This is one of those games where I never JUST run. I'm either shooting at nothing, jumping like a mad man, charging a beam, morphing or all of above.
I like games that let me do that.
Funny, I prefer just running so I can Juggernaut enemies down with the speed booster.

Anthony and Samus co-op mode... with them exchanging Nolan North style quips. Then it might be Western enough for the bros.

Samus waited for permission to activate the Varia feature of her suit? What the fuck. I know it's kind of ridiculous that they have to devise new, contrived means of stripping Samus of her abilities each Metroid game, but this whole permission to activate features and weapons is my least favorite. That was just...what?

Her turning to a little girl is a reference to her past where Ridley killed her parents as a child. Her reacting that way after thinking he was finally dead for good isn't unbelievable.

Has anyone had a problem with the door in Sector 3 right after the 3 grappling posts? I've been trying to get past this door that's mysteriously locked, did some searching and apparently it's a glitch. The door should be green and there's no way to grapple back. Really hope I dont have to start over.
jaundicejuice said:
Certainly not the best way to handle it, but accepting the request for help and placing herself under military order isn't anything worse then they could of come up with.
Really all this does is show that if you are going to have a story having you not have your starting ablities just doesn't work, so they either need to come up with upgrades next time or let you be full powered the whole time.

The dialogue during that spot could have been better, like
"Ridley!?! No!!! You're supposed to be dead!"

I like to imagine Adam went to get some coffee or something, then came back to his viewing station and was surprised to see her running through Sector 3 without her Varia suit on.jaundicejuice said:
hamchan said:
Yeah and people that are aquaphopic have been touched by water plenty of times, doesn't suddenly mean they have gotten over their fear.
Not saying that part is handled well, I myself don't think it fits quite right but the idea that even after she fights him she could be mentally scared isn't far fetched.

She didn't just "touch" Ridley though, she freaking destroyed him. This isn't even counting the Prime games, though they really should count.
It didn't seem like she was just surprised too, the way they showed her 3 year old self it was pretty apparent it was real fear. We don't know if she froze up in the previous encounters but she must have overcome it previously to beat him so many times right?
It just seems very weird when she's fought him so many times.
hamchan said:
The Prime's whether or not they should of been taken into account is moot at this point and they have no baring on this conversation as they aren't counted by this games story.
That said yes it is fear just as I said with the Aquaphobia thing. Not only that but we do have the Manga which shows her having a sever issue with facing Ridley, now one could argue she gets over that their, but it seems as though the writer disagrees.
Given Super and Zero's story telling method is so at odds with Fusion and Other M we can't be sure if she locked up in the past, but given her reactions in the Manga and again in Other M it wouldn't be that out there to think that she did.
At least in Zero Mission. As it stands she chased down the Baby Metroid and because rescuing that was on her mind the whole time it could be that she was able to face Ridly with out this problem, playing on the whole Mother angle and the bond she has with the Baby.
We will probably never know exactly.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I was doing the family thing. Anyway, what I mean by unbalanced is that some bosses were too easy. I realize that's what a hard mode is for, but to me difficulty should be in the challenge of the boss fights. I shouldn't be dying cheap deaths and yes there were a lot of them. In fact if it weren't for infinite continues and these boards, I would have lost complete patience with the game. Some example of poor boss fights -heringer said:
Metroid Queen and the Power Bomb was lame I died way too many times trying to figure that one out. Same thing with MB. I died too many time to count trying to kill those things flying around the room. Also Ridleys tail outside of the lab that exploded was retarded as well due to controls
Also, the whole thing about character development and story to me is that sometimes less is more. The more you get to put yourself into the character, the more you will be attached to it. To me, Samus should talk almost exclusively thru body language and facial expressions. I would like them to go a Silent Bob/Kevin Smith approach with and only make her talk when it is absolutely necessary. If not then they seriously need to step it up several notches because games like Uncharted run circles around Other M. Nintendo is way behind the curve in that aspect. As far as story goes, I think it's better when questions aren't answered. It's good to keep people guessing.
I'm starting to feel the same about this game as i did with Splinter Cell Conviction and God of War 3, short games that within 2-3 hours i've felt like i've seen and done everything that's needed to fully enjoy whatever i can out of the game, and now i'm rushing through Other M, avoiding combat, just to finish it.
Currently 4.5 hours into the game. Needless to say there won't be an "aftergame" going back and getting all the powerups. It's definitely been a wortwhile rental, hopefully i can beat it before it's due back Tuesday.
