you know, divorced from the not so great art, I kind of dig what they're doing with the perspective in relation to the d-pad movement. I hope there's lots of moments where the distance of the camera varies, outside of the binary 'shoot-mode' and the super-close walk mode. Running backwards toward the camera could be a bit of an Achilles heel, though.

It's a real shame every save point seems to unlock more map and point you exactly where to go next. That might change later on, though.

edit: A freaking map pops up after the battle with an arrow pointing to the unlocked door!

He seems stuck right now though. Seems what he needs to do is pretty obvious though.

I got banned for typing:

"THE VENT. RIGHT NEXT TO YOU"

watching someone play always pisses me off.

IT'S IN THE VENT WITH THE OPEN GRATING. FUCK. :lol

Seems like the mods there have itchy fingers. Its not even a lot of people at all.

It's just right there but it's like he's blind to it. I can't believe he wont even try to jump in there.

 

[AniHawk]

Liking the music a lot.

 

[donkey show]

Ugh, I want this game bad. Watching the stream isn't helping any. :lol

ALLELUIA

 

[AniHawk]

Okay, I was pretty hard on the voice actor for Samus when the intro of the game and all that was first shown, but some of the lines recently were not bad at all.

 

[donkey show]

Love how the cutscenes just flow out and into gameplay.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Bitching over the internal-monologue being totally pointless is probably a bit played out now, so just assume I'm making a >:'( face every time it happens.

I'd rather feel an ever so creative dark-presence by cool world building rather than have Samus tell me what to feel. But this will be the only time I'll mention it.

 

[Teknoman]

Soundtrack fears have been alleviated So awesome.

Also when you think about it, Samus shouldnt be THAT big compared to her environment. Ugh why didnt I choose release day shipping.

 

[Door2Dawn]

AHHHHHHHHHH

 

[AniHawk]

Naughty Dog, take note.

 

[friskykillface]

chocobo? :lol

 

[VAIL]

Omg it's so smooth.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Loved the forced first-person thing right there. I was hoping she was going to look up and spot Ghoma.

 

[Haunted]

it looks soo good.

 

[Snuggles]

Game is looking solid. I can't last long on JustinTV with the obnoxious chat room, though.

 

[Snaku]

Must. Resist. Stream.

 

[AniHawk]

It's amazing the amount of video game logic this guy is not used to.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

CUTE CREATURE ALERT! Looks like a native Plushie of the planet Zoqmooglefotbocopik, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[JonnyAvacado]

I cant take it anymore, I am watching some of the stream.....need Metroid/Ninja Gaiden fix.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

bland environment -> bland environment -> blan -- OH MY GOD THIS CANYON THING IS AWESOME

 

[Snuggles]

Not only does it looks like a lot of fun to play, but this is one sharp looking game. Definitely looking forward to seeing it on my widescreen and not a streaming video, it's gonna be nice.

I know I should close the stream because I've seen enough but I just can't stop watching.

 

[Teknoman]

OMG SHOOT! You dont have to charge shot everything x_x

 

[EmCeeGramr]

This is reminding me of a recent Metroid Prime trilogy playthrough I've been watching, where the dude spent about five minutes trying to find the exit to the first room on the frigate.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Are my eyes playing tricks on me? I don't see any shadow for Samus.

 

[desertdroog]

It is that whole dynamic of Samus Aran being controlled as a super fast juggernaut of Spazer Beam dealing, Super Missile flinging as told by Team Ninja that had me sold on this game.

I mean, she puts enemies in a headlock after flipping across the screen and puts her arm cannon to their temple then shoots them dead.


Just...damn! That is a video game I want to play.

 

[JonnyAvacado]

God it looks great so far, but I am going to have to resist the urge to wind path ----> on landing UT.

 

[friskykillface]

that energy regeneration thing seems very useful, the guy would have died many times without it

just when i say that, he dies :lol :lol
rip

 

[AniHawk]

I miss the Jeniffer Hale scream.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Are you hobos going to live blog the entire stream in this thread? Show some pity on those of us who are trying to avoid spoilers yet still have an outlet to discuss the game before release.

Spoiler

Yeah, I called you hobos.

 

[sfried]

"Samus? What's going on? Samus? SAAAAMUUUUUUUS!!!"

 

[Deleted member 30609]

quick loading is super nice.

shame my q about the HUD fell on deaf ears. I'd really like to turn off the map HUD.

Samus is kicking ass.

 

[evilromero]

That's the one thing the game really lacks is good shadows. It makes everything look a little cheap.

 

[robor]

I am resisting! You can't break me!! I'm out of this thread for 2 weeks, see ya'll on the Other Side.

 

[Haunted]

Why are those who stream these things always such terrible players? I mean, goddamn.

It's amazing the amount of video game logic this guy is not used to.

What happened, I missed it.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Samus is kicking ass.

Just don't tell me whose (or what's) ass it is. I never thought I'd speak these words, but I don't even want to know how rotund it is.

 

[AniHawk]

What happened, I missed it.

Shoots thing that obviously needs a charge shot. Shoots it again with partially charged shot. Runs around the room like an idiot. Charges shot and shoots thing that obviously needs a charge shot and makes progress.

 

[friskykillface]

alright thats enough i can take :lol
got my fill in to wait until tuesday
its still so far away

 

[Kard8p3]

A well timed missile could take care of quite a few of his combat problems and could take care of his current predicament but he doesn't seem to think to use them.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

the chat is like watching a sonic forum full of self-diagnosed aspherger's syndromites slowly tear themselves apart.

 

[donkey show]

Blah, I can't watch the stream anymore. I normally don't say this but dude is just a terrible player. Adaptation skills are very lackluster. :lol

 

[markot]

Lol, so much drama >_<

Would be better if someone decent was playing though...
