yeah, post impressions.

this game is coming out in a few days and I feel like the only reason I'm buying it is because of the Metroid name. Watching videos make me less interested because it looks like a baby easy action game with animu cut scenes.

Metroid Prime is up there with Shenmue as games that I really like, but I can understand why people hate on them.

Metroid Prime for the last time is not an fps.

it's first person and you shoot a LOT

yeah, but it is a first person adventure game. by removing shooter, it is easier to ignore that the combat is just 'lock on, sidestep, spam the A button'.

i agree partly...

it certainly shows a turn point where the Japanese finally realised they'd forgotten how to make good games and turned to the experts in the west. This was the first big white flag, all hail WESTERN DEVELOPER POWER.

Our Generation will remember this as Japanese surrender to a great power!

The same publisher who turned to Retro dropped Silicon knights, factor 5, and Rare like the deadweight that they were. Argument invalidated.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #77 on:** August 25, 2010, 09:37:46 PM »

It would be more accurate to say that LucasArts dumped Factor 5.

The game fucking ruined my PSP. Maybe the gaming Gods are punishing me for not having played the game earlier.
But I shall play it. Soon. I'm going to try the DS SNES emulator. I don't really like playing emulators on the PC.

I used my PS3 controller plugged in via USB to play it on my lappy. Worked a charm and if you have linux or osx you don't even need to install drivers just configure it using the emulators pad configuration screen.

The controls were definitely lacking, although given time they became tolerable to a degree; still, locking on targets and trying to aim at shit behind/above you was horrible

everything else you listed rocked

sup dirty pirates.

metroid prime isn't an FPS, just like super metroid isn't a metal slug clone. don't confuse perspective with gameplay.

i can't tell if i'm gonna get MOM. the name is stupid, the story is probably going to be stupid. but it IS a metroid game...

Part of the reason I am getting Other M is to see how much they screw up what they had previously achieved. The other part is that I just love Metroid.

Third · « **Reply #112 on:** August 27, 2010, 08:57:36 AM »

This game really misses the analogue stick. Using the dpad for 3d games is so distinguished mentally-challenged. Especially for games like this one where you have to move fast.
And pointing the wiimote at the screen to trigger the first person mode is also frustrating during a fight. You can't run and morth into a ball at the same time.

This game is so frustrating. Can't wait for the reviews...

demi · « **Reply #113 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:02:53 AM »

You can run and press A to morph into a ball.

Third · « **Reply #114 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:06:02 AM »

Yeah, if you want to rape your left thumb. This game fails in ergonomics.

First review from the German mag Maniac:

Quote

pros

-unique gameplay
-reviewer couldn't get into it until late in the game,however it was fun then

cons

-almost no exploration
-over the shoulder view sucks,too slow
-almost no scanning
-unprecise jumping
-too many checkpoints,they also heal you completely
-no health regenerating items anymore
-metroid prime looked better
-abilities will be unlocked by adam and are not found throughout the world
-will split the fanbase

Score:

73%

demi · « **Reply #115 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:09:20 AM »

I use my right thumb for the A button.

Third · « **Reply #116 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:13:06 AM »

I can also use my nose for pressing the A button. It doesn't matter. The button mapping in this game stays beyond distinguished mentally-challenged.
I wish I could play this game with my Cube controller.

demi · « **Reply #117 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:17:01 AM »

What's different about the Cube controller? You're still gonna hit the A button with your right thumb...

Third · « **Reply #118 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:22:31 AM »

The analogue sticks? You could switch to first person mode by pressing the Z button and aim with the C analogue stick.
Much better than the shitty wiimote with the distinguished mentally-challenged button lay out.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #119 on:** August 27, 2010, 09:25:30 AM »

third doesn't like a wii game? shocker.
