TheLeon Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I don’t want to be a dick, but it’s hard to get stuck for long in this game if you: pay attention read explore Think about about the ability you unlocked most recently. Where can you get to with that new tool? If you don’t remember, take a look at your map, that might help jog your memory. Look for doors you haven’t gone through yet. Can you reach them now? Once you have a couple energy tanks, you can run through most areas without even fighting it you want, so don’t worry about backtracking. Once you’ve been through it once and know what to expect, you can run across any zone in like two minutes. So explore, and scan everything. The game itself tells you so much, you really don’t need a guide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 And if you do need a guide… who cares! Look it up if you’re frustrated. The game is ahem, so well designed, that every room is specifically labeled and any guide worth a crap will be able to tell you, oh hey are you in this room? Well if you want to get here you need this. Don’t have it? Here’s where you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardAct Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Don't know how some of you made it through classics like Zelda: A link to the past, or FF6 & 7 without guides. They are meant to challenge your sense of exploration somewhat. I understand frustration and most game devs are so afraid to make a challenging game no-a-days that piss of everything in your hand all at once generation. I'm not calling anyone out, I'm old, like real old and I can't stand how gaming holds your hand at every turn. Easy mode, etc. I got stuck also in this game, enough to even have to walk away. But I only game 1-2 hours a session, sometimes separated by days in between. Hell I COULD NOT WAIT FOR Dead Space remake and it took almost 3 weeks to beat! I'm also not good at Dark Souls games period. I have only beaten 1&2, blood bourne, and demon souls but I respect them. Hell Rougue Like games are back to how games were in the day, love them. They are hard yes. I don't want anyone to play a game if they hate the experience, but these games aren't that hard, they may just rely on a bit more patience and exploration and a bit of a memory. Especially in the beginning when most games feel a bit tough. It's ok people. it's ok..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Personally, I’d rather be impeded by a puzzle or missed detail than a heavy handed difficulty spike. So long as the solution is fair, reasonable and intelligible. Metroid games are perfectly reasonable outside of some optional pickups in Zero Mission perhaps. These games aren’t like The Witness, Fez, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Speaking for me personally, back in the day, exploring every nook and cranny in a game for hours and hours was a great time. I also didn't have the internet, or 100 other games, or a smartphone or YouTube or Netflix or adult responsibilities and wives and kids and whatnot... I made it into my mid-30s as an avid gamer... but kids did it for me. I really don't play many games anymore at all. I have a very limited amount of free time and I just don't want to use it backtracking in a video game. This isn't a knock on Metroid Prime, which is one of my favorite games of all time. I changed. Gaming didn't change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaming didn't change. Also in my mid-30s. Though no kids, I work in construction, so hours are pretty crazy during the season. There are also always projects, and other things to do at home, so I'm finding out I also don't have as much time to game as I used to. Though my Wife is understanding, and will say, "You go game, while I make dinner, ok?" Yes, dear... Being a responsible adult is hard work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardAct Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Another 2 or so hours last night. played from 10:30pm to about 1am!! Unlocked the Gravity suit and the ice beam, I have 7 health tanks and 55 rockets now. I am honestly really really enjoying this game and reliving one of the greatest games IN MEMORY. The fire/heat beam and grapple still alludes me but i'm not worried. The room where you meet the Chozo Ghost is so AMAZINGLY complex and fun to unlock everything. BEST SO FAR Easily! I DIDN'T LIKE THAT AFTER THAT FIRST INCOUNTER YOU GET 3 EVERYTIME AFTER....LOL but you can just run past them so what ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the final boss uses a lot of similar mechanics, so I hope it doesn’t suck. It was annoying enough with modern controls, I don’t know how we put up with it on the Cube. I’m done with the artifact hunt so just have the last two bosses I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the rumours are that only Prime 1 got the full remastered treatment, and the other two are just going to be simple HD ports. I hope that's not the case, as I do hope Nintendo sees how beautiful this game looks, and the enthusiasm around it, and decide that yeah the other two deserve to get remastered as well. There are locations in Echoes and Corruption that were absolutely gorgeous back in the day that I would love to see again with these graphics. Sanctuary Fortress? Bryyo? Phaaze? Mmmm. Picked up my physical copy last night at Wal-Mart. Shame to hear some of you are having trouble. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
