Metroid Prime.


Recommended Posts

I ordered the second one. Wont arrive till after the holidays though.

 

I've psyched myself up to go hunt missiles so tommorow I'll be back to playing and Meta Ridley will go down.

 

(at which point I'll probably get my arse kicked by the next boss).

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

I'd already be playing it... but I'm having a really really really hard time forcing myself to grind items in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.... :mellow:

 

I was so underpowered in that game I had to hit the end boss over 300 times..

 

I'm hoping we will get to play it again over the holidays since all three of us will be here.

Goddamn it. I've been stuck at the last dood, but now my disc won't work. The game freezes and the console starts clicking. :shifty:

 

I must have fought metadigital Meta Ridley thirty times... I lent the game to my friend and watched as he beat MetaRidley on his first attempt. I hate that bastard.

Dude, that's a common bug, it has to do with the streaming loading.

 

Slow down, don't run so fast from area to area, basically what is happening is you are moving from area to area faster than the game can load the models and textures. Unless the disc is actually scratched, your game, and your Cube, are fine.

 

If I had to guess you've saved and are just running right over to the battle as fast as you can over and over again, am I right?

I'm starting to hit "the wall" with Metroid Prime 2.

 

It just gave me a mission where I basically have to run to 8 different points in the whole game world and I really don't want to do that.

 

Maybe it's time to speed up my purchase of fire emblem

MetaRidley is seriously annoying when on his last sliver of health.

 

Ridley is back in Prime? I found so much satisfaction in destroying it in the previous Metroid games, especially on my recent Metroid (re)plays, and now all my work is undone. Sigh.

 

Speaking of which, are the Prime games good? My only problem with them stems from the firstperson handling, it never feels as intuitive as what I get from a PC... Still, I'm intrigued enough to consider getting a GC.

I hate shootery games when they're not a side scroller on a console and I liked Prime.

 

It's really in the first person perspective more because it adds to immersion than because you're doing a lot of run and gun aiming.

 

Generally you don't aim at all really, but just lock on to the various enemies.
