shyt is incredible really. Especially because they make it so every upgrade you get makes it that much easier with the backtracking.

yeah the way prime is designed I feel like backtracking is way easier than it is in the 2D metroid games…I feel like boss fights are a whole lot easier too…all I gotta do is strafe
the updated controls def made the combat easier. the c stick was trash so you couldn’t use it to aim like you currently so.
the hint system has been godsend…I didn’t realize it was a feature that can be turned on/off…thank goodness it was already on tho…cuz those incoming data messages be popping up whenever I’m stuck…they’re timely as hell
as someone who didnt play the original, how do you like it so far? The game was considered one of the best ever when it originally came out in 2002.
it’s pretty good…I can easily see why some GOATed it back then
ya, it was a pretty big deal when it came out 2 decades ago
I dont put much stock in critic scores
but it was one of the times I agreed with them. perfect blend of 3D FPS action mixed with Metroid exploration and puzzling. it was pretty unique for its time. prolly the 2nd biggest reason to get a Gamecube after Super Smash Bro. Melee.I personally always thought that the game was atmospheric and immersive as hell. I loved it. The scans were my favorite part of the game, especially the pirate scans and how much they hate the player or peeking into the structure and lives of the pirates themselves. Finding all the missiles was a pain in the ass though.ya, it was a pretty big deal when it came out 2 decades ago

I'm at the final boss and I'm salty, missed on on 2 creature scans so I can't 100% the game. I also need 7 more missile upgrade and 1 more energy tank but imma just say fukk it and complete the game.
I'm thinking I should do my next playthrough on hard mode but Thardus was already a pain in the ass in normal mode, and one of the later bosses. We'll see.
My only issue with the game was backtracking, it takes a long fukking time to get from one end of Tallon IV to the other end. Upgrades help, but still... I wish there we were more convenient and faster ways, doesn't even have to be a fast travel but maybe a few elevators that wind back around. It's very consing to navigate when you have all the areas opened at times; like I want to go back to early Chozo Ruins or Phendrana from the mines and I'm like which way is more efficient... On the flip side, I'm trying to rush through thie game, modern games have made me more impatient. Keep in mind GameCube games weren't coming out that often so they stretched this game with content which is nice, nothing feels out of place.
As it stands though, I need Nintendo to drop Metroid Prime 2 remastered ASAP, they got me in my Metroid bag right now. Might have to subscribe to Nintendo online and play Metroid Fusion
