Ok - I agree that you can turn off the hints at the options sceen; but don’t you think that being able to scan everything (including bosses) and thus know what to do is kind of a big collective hint?
Also - have to disagree about the size of each place in Metroid 2, and as for taking a long time to beat - I wish. It took me no time flat, and I was as dissapointed by this as I was by the lack of places to explore, and by the lack of things in the places once I had gotten there.
Shouldn’t we be talking about the next Metroid Prime, and what we’d like to have, instead of trying to prove whether or not Metroid Prime 2 was a good game?
indead “G” . One thing that disapionted me about prime 1 is that it had no screw attack did anyone else find that disapionting. That why i like prime 2 better. and i think there should be alot more places to use ure upgrades aswell coldelephant. I think the upgrade “Charge Bomb” would be awsome and it would allow you to jump 3 times as high and be alot stronger but change the way the explosion looks , make it begger and add more effects i would say.
Gairaivu- I know that but scanning gets annoying u should get everything a soon as u beat the games it is so annoying because i know i
'm not going to get the secret ending if it took me 2 hours (or something like it) to find the second boss
secret ending only depends on the pecentage of upgrades and expansions u got. u could have taken a year and a half to finish the game but if u got every item u would still get the best ending.
I just use a checklist of items and their locations I print of the net...But I don’t actually read it until i’ve beaten the last boss. So its less cheating. Screw looking for each item with only the “bevvvh bevvvh” noise to go by.
It could be better if on MP3 there should be a part when you have to co-operate with the GF Troopers, but limited to one, at most two... here it is an example of how it could happen:
She is sent to investigate a derelict space station(most likely s Space Pirate station)that had some strange energy signatures and then when she is inside the station(lets say that the station is very big and you need to be inside it about 30-40 minutes)she recieves a transmission from the Galactic Federation.
She sighs, knowing that they had done something stupid(as they always do) and they needed hepl. She opens the important transmission, and on her visor an hologram with an GF Captain appears.
He says they send some GF troopers to help her, then she start debating with the Captain saying to him something like 'You people at the Federation know that I work alone! why did you send them?! Do not send them!! This station is not safe!!'.
He then says to her 'Im sorry Samus, they had arrived and are currently inside the station. If there is something that may put at risk their safety you must neutralize it, and if i were you i would — — ' She then gets pissed off and cut the transmission.
After that, something occurs and the station start to rattle and some emergency lights at unisom with an emergency Claxon starts to fill all the station; apparently something started to attack the station from the outside(maybe Space Pirates? or something more powerful?) and it wasn’s going to hold much longer.
After some seconds her visor system alerts her about some extremely large creatures inside the ship approacing to the marines. Then she realizes that there is something very wrong in the station.
She decides to blow up the station and save the troopers, and puts a bomb on the Reactor Core of the station.
Lets say that something like a timer appears showing the current location of the troopers and the location of the creatures, and you must get there before they got shredded to pieces.
Samus finds them and they start retreating, and then she activates the bomb with 10 minutes before it explodes. Then it start with samus leading the troopers through the corridors of the station, while they run into the strange creatures, and some of the scared trroopers died as she blasted the aliens, with a little help of the troopers.
With less than 1 minute they arrive to their ship only to find that it is destroyed. Then Samus screams to them to follow her to her gunship. All of them get inside at less than 40 seconds after the bomb detonates and she starts her ship engines and get out of range of the nuclear explosion, as it decimates all the station with some small planets behind them.
As they are geting away from the explosion, on her radar appears some ships approaching at highs speeds with their weapons sistems ready to fire(that part would be the one in where Samus drives the ship).
And well... that would be one of the co-operatives, it could be something new, different, extreme and mysterious; something haunting Samus, and all with the addition of the classic old metroid tradition of “escape-before-all-goes-boom!" lol
very good it sounds like retro rote it themselves. Hears what i think. i think that it wou;d be cool if when you beat the game 100% you would get a second peice of the game like you encounter 1 more space pirate ship as you leave the planet now that would be some surprise.
I hope that echoes gets the story to you in more ways because echoes had a great storyline they didnt express it enough. and more use of the upgrades as coldelephant mentioned earlier. and it would be cool to have mutiplayer profiles and a screename for online play. you would be able to choose what parts you want of each suit and then costomize the color. i believe the revolution will have mp3 rather than the gc so better graphics is something you wont have to think about. did you ever relieve whenever you go to halo forums there allways competetion between chief and samus and vice-versa just because there the 2 top shooters at this time. the one thing about metroid graphics that ticks me of is the fact that theres no added effect for when you choot certain textures, ex, sand and dirt ...no dust kicks up
maybe somthing like a prolouge to the actuall game would be cool that u get to play as a gf trooper with controls like other console fps until u reach the end of the prolouge where u inevitably die. just a thought.
I think it would be good to have a Prequel thing, that starts with a flashback to when Samus wasn’t this crazy hunter, and then she has to do some normal jump and shoot kinda stuff, then she meets the ones who give her her suit and crazy abilities and stuff. THEN we go to present day, recap what’s happened and go crazy with new advances to her suit and weapons, Like completely new. No more losing all her stuff and having to get it back. Let her keep all her stuff, then give her, let’s say, the ability to shoot beam weapons while she’s in morphball mode. And definitely some Co-Op mode. With different ways to beat the same levels, depending on how many people you have playing with you. Ya, that’d be good times.
yay this is kinda off topic but did any one see that alien planet special on Discovery channel. There were so many cool aliens one of them was almost intelligent enough to communicate with peple they were aboiut as smart as native americans which is pretty smartit was sooooo cool...any wayi thinkshe should be on a federation ship 2 yrs later and while on it Dark samus comes a raids the federation phazon supply and goes crazy with power (almost like Sa-x) spikes would come out of his back and every thing or he could enter into the body of a federation troop and takes over him (almost like a dark trooper exept faster) so thats y the federaton would help u. Player one- samus player two- federation general player three- U-mos and player four- a combat implanted with the adam computer (the navigation computer) yeah
metroid rocks. metroid prime is to eacy and i wanted to see alien planet on discovery but they probubly not gonna replay it because its become the motorcycle channel.
