The only good Metriod (update: Maybe not so good)

[Don Flamenco]

There's still tons of cutscenes. There's a segment with less cutscenes, but its still about 1/3 cutscene 2/3 game in a very short game.

I've never seen so much sandy vagina surrounding a video game.

Because it's Metroid. There is a standard here. A very high standard. That they shit on.

A segment?  it's everything in between the beginning and ending.  It is about 1/4 (2 hours of cutscenes, ~8-9 hours of gameplay) of the game.  That's pretty bad, I agree, but they are concentrated enough to make me not care.

I think people will find the length of the gameplay shrinks once you know all the needle in a haystack stuff, the instant death avoids and where directly to go in lurch mode.

Watched the Spoony review. This guy is as eloquent as a drunk monkey. Why do people watch his reviews again?

At least one good thing came from that review: his comparison of Metroid Other M to Final Fantasy 13. Thanks for saving me 50 bucks, Spoony!

I like to watch Spoony's videos because he's generally entertaining, but most of the time he comes off as fairly ignorant (even more so in his wrestling reviews). Kinda like the Giant Bomb crew.

I remember watching one of his videos (I think it was the Deadliest Warrior one), where someone posted a message saying, "Who cares about the single player options in a fighting game anyway?", he then looks at the camera and goes, "You don't play many fighting games, do you? "

Fucking Wii hardware.  :'(

samus looks good but some of the environments are real blah

you are really embarrassing yourself on gaf today.(Segata is owning you) The fact is that the Japanese created Samus Aran and the creators can do fuck they want with this franchise and retro does not own it.

[etiolate]

segata is not owning me jeebus

you don't even know what is being talked about

They really need better reading comprehension to be taught. I am not trying to be all uppity. It is a real problem with the matter of communication. That entire thread, as I already said like twice, is people trying to divine the sentiment of my posts and ignoring what the actual words say.

This is really what I don't get about some folks. Those pictures aren't really breathtaking, but all the NERDS claim uprezing the assets is a night and day difference. I do like some high res textures no doubt but its like a low priority luxury.

This guy thinks he'll love Metroid after playing this

I was looking for that post and couldn't find it. High resolution plus AA makes a big difference.

Makes a huge difference to what? It could look like Crysis and still be a cruddy game. Like Crysis

Might as well just use a coaxial cable while we're at it!

Wow I totally forgot Metroid Pinball even existed... lol.

Pinball is my favorite of all the games that have "Prime" in their title.

A bit late, but I hope you had fun with Super, Third.

[Third]

Played it for a few minutes. Escaped the exploding ship and landed on a planet.
Got the roll move but I didn't know how to activate it. Got stuck in that room, so I stopped playing. I though it was a bug in the emulator. But all you have to do is press down twice to activate it. 
Going to pick it up again after I've finished reading The Passing (900+ fucking pages)

[Himu]

Oh, dear.

Oops, have fun when you get back to it, then!

Third is the new opa-opa...

[Himu]

doesn't the game specify you need to double tap down to go into morph ball or have i been playing metroid games for so long I just ignore that shit by instinct now?

I couldn't remember but, nope, it just says "MORPHING BALL".  Zero Mission (and maybe Fusion) say how to use it.

[Third]

You guys 

And no, the game never teaches you on how to use the roll move. Pretty stupid.

[TakingBackSunday]

I just feel like its assumed.  A ball.   That means you crouch.  Press down.

Guess you should have read the instruction manual then OH WAIT.
