On this playthrough (my fourth) I'm scanning WAY fewer things, and it's making me like the game a lot more. Scanning is boring for me, and I don't care about most of the story details. I'm glad it's there for the folks who like it, and I'm glad it's optional for me.
Yup, all the way down for me. It's a cool idea, but no thanks.
I think the game's supposed to feel a bit claustrophobic in that regard. But of course there's nothing wrong turning it off.
That is the beauty of that system in that it is for the most part optional. I'd say you could get through the game and only have to scan maybe 5% of things.

Hmm, you know I don't know if I ever messed with these settings even when the game came out way back when on the GC (was it even an option to do so back then?)
It took me some time adjusting to having to slightly adjust my grip whenever I need to use the d-pad. In time, it'll become second nature... hopefully.
IMO, Frigate Orpheon was one of the prettiest looking areas in the game for me. I know people mostly enjoyed the visuals once you got on Tallon IV, but I loved the layout, design and aesthetics of the Frigate a lot. The way it is still mostly intact but with some areas compromised due to the escape of the Parasite Queens was just awesome. And there are so many details in the environment art that really stand out. Many of the rooms are really awesome.
Neither of them are of the Metroidvania type of game. HoD may look like one but it sure as hell ain't one.
Just bought it today after reading this thread. I hope i like it... Don't play a metroid game since NES

those bosses are too tough. I'm surprised I even finished the game.

Wait for E3, it's on my bingo card.
I'll haunt your sleep like a peyote-abusing, chimichanga-eatin', buffalo-kissin', twisted version of NiGHTS Into Your Dreams if you fail at that Bingo card.
I just died at the 2nd main boss after the ship and my save was like an hour prior. My skills are so terrible with this game again. Ugh. Luckily playing from where I was is still a fun experience so to answer your question, "yes!" I just wish I wasn't so green again... lol
Do Veteran. Echoes' challenge comes from its expansive world, getting lost, etc moreso than health. The tougher bosses that people had trouble with on GC are all made easier by the Wii controls.
Any one of these games is worth $10 alone, so yes!
