Is a Metroid thread in order?

t. Dobson

Does Samus play vidya while in her ship? When traveling, I mean.

I can't see why not. I wonder what she likes.

I like them, but maybe play the GBA and 3DS remakes before. Original Metroid 2 is still ok though.

1 was designed to sell nintendo power magazines, 2 is still good to play

>1 was designed to sell nintendo power magazines
Can you not beat the game without outside assistance?

good luck getting to kraid without any outside help

Of course you can. I beat it when I was a kid. Just whip out your graph paper and draw a map.

NEStroid is fun and if you disagree you are a nancy girl

>t. brainlet

t. I used a guide/map but I'll pretend I didn't

How long before Doug invades this thread and ruins it? Now taking bets.

Maybe one day he'll return.

And then maybe we'll get to hear his famous line and actually remember him.

SR is too long for speedrunning.

Dunno, but Doug is even worse than Zero Suit Samus.

hurf durf metroid prime is stinky

I could post cute/official Samus comics

what?

I'm guessing user is poking fun at the growing sentiment against prime nowadays

I don't know how anyone can shit on prime but I should have known that Yea Forums would find a way.

Such is life, nowadays sentiments spread on the internet so fast

Prime is slow, boring fps with shitty combat compared to 2D Metroid and even Other M.

Is Samus a big girl?

You are wrong and dumb.

So what's his reason for autistically tailing Samus at the end of Prime 3? I know he hates the Feds and thus Samus but why follow her?

Attached: Sylux.png (1500x2143, 1.88M)

Rape to assert dominance.

area 3 and 4 are repetitive as fuck because a. no new metroids and b. metroids that fucking run away which were given a damage threshold so you can't override that scripted event

to track the GF HQ and steal a metroid in fed force's ending

Find out in Prime4™

This user is correct.

even Samus has beta orbiters

Man I hope Prime 4 has at least one scene of Sylux having a 'wake up sheeple' speech about the Federation.

>*ahem*
>FUCK SAMUS AND FUCK THE FEDERATION

Imagine how strong Samus must be to pull a multi ton fish out of lava. Especially when she was level with it.

samus is a canon lesbian and prime 4 will confirm it

Samus actually take pirate dick.

There is no reason. Yet.
It's just sequel bait.

I just want to say that I fucking love Metroid Fusion. If it weren't for the unskippable dialogue on repeat playthroughs it would be my favourite metroid.

Super Metroid is too perfect, I think, though I prefer the faster and slicker gameplay of Fusion. I don't really tend to use sequence breaks, but that's another reason why people tend to prefer Super Metroid.

Metroid could use some new puzzle types.

Attached: Metroid SR388 Push.gif (164x78, 20K)

Metroid is not allowed to be this comfy

Such as?

No idea. I'm not an ideas guy.
SR388 was going to use push blocks, but that's boring shit.

>implying anyone other than speedrunners sequence break
People just pretend to feel superior. Sequence breaking doesn't really matter to most.

Tube based puzzles

I don't speedrun, but I use minor sequence breaks all the time. They're kind of hardwired into me. Small shit like early supers, early wavebeam, etc.

I wonder who's behind this post

No one, fed goy.

Metroid games are some of the best games for speedrunning though. The best part is replaying them and trying to get the best endings and beat your personal best time, you can do them in one sitting. I've never done speedrunning for any game, but these kind of tricks are still relevant for fans of these games who aren't necessarily into speedrunning.

Why would anyone wanna speedrun the most atmospheric game?

I know I've played zero mission and fusion dozens of times, and most other games tons as well, but sequence breaking isn't what makes one better than the other imo.
Once sequence breaks are figured out they're just as linear. (in their optimal route)

Played it today too. It's fucking terrible.
The first 1-2 hours are good enough, but then I just want to die.

Quick question, with all the metroidvania threads popping up left and right:
Are Hollowfags and Metroidfags good bros, or are they distant from each other like Kirbyfags, where they acknowledge each other but don't do shit otherwise?

Attached: metroid knight.png (726x754, 138K)

Once you've already completed it a few times as a challenge to get the best ending screens. I had a lot of fun replaying it and getting better and better at it.

I was just citing it as a reason why some people say they prefer Super Metroid in particular. It's not one of the reasons that I prefer it.

probably the latter.
btw hows Axiom Verge?

Tried a bit of it, never really could get into it much like Hollow Knight.
Everyone's got their tastes though so I shouldn't dissuade ya from trying it if you haven't.
There's also no tubes though, so instant -10

Attached: 1549246547268.png (249x220, 10K)

I'd say pretty distant for the most part.

You are wrong.
It’s super fun.
I’m at about 40% in my first run.
Even the controls aren’t really bad.
Also, should I bother getting the Trilogy on Wii U or Switch when that releases? I’m just playing on my Gamecube.

How well do prime 1 and 2 emulate? I remember bits and pieces from renting them ages ago but never had a chance to beat them.
>tfw remembering finding the prime collection in a store
>didnt buy it the second i saw it
>never seen one ever again
Hurts to live boys.

Prime 1 emulates fine in my experience.
Prime 2 is a stuttering mess.
I don't know is the Wii versions emulate better.

I'm not wrong, it's so bad they had to come up with "first person adventure" to avoid being put next to the superior Halo and other fpses.
If you find it for cheap, the Trilogy games are better than the GC, at least the controls don't give you ebola.

Everyone should replay Fusion doing a 1% or 0% run.

2 is fun with the gbc default color pallette.

>Everyone should be an autist
kys

I disagree.
The controls are fine, the atmosphere is fantastic, including the graphics, music, and designs, both of enemies and of the environment, and the game feels so rewarding.
Like going through the ruins and seeing stuff like the half-pipes and spider rails and knowing you’ll be able to access them later and then going back and getting those sweet, sweet rewards. And the rewards feel great. I love noticing something small and getting five more missiles. It’s both useful and appeals to my conpletionist instinct. Unlike in, say, BotW, in which, after a certain point, it’s only the latter.

what do metrofags feel about castlevania games?

Never played one but I should. Which one is the best to start with?

I always found the metroid style castlevanias to be inferior, but I really like 1, 3, and 4

I tried a couple of them because I heard they were similar ("metroidvania") but I didn't get it at all. Symphony of the night is lauded as one of the best games on PS1, but it was dogshit in comparison to super metroid. I probably haven't made enough of an effort to get into them, but with metroid I was instantly drawn in from the first time I played.

I agree it feels rewarding, but in my opinion the slow movement speed, awkward controls, scanning stuff becomes so tiring I gave up at like 50+%.
I honestly, unironically had more fun with Other M, at least it felt snappier like the 2D Metroids.

i heard that castlevania 3 is the best classic castlevania
aria of sorrow and symphony of the night are the best of the metrovania castlevania.

huh, i c interesting.

I really like the scanning.
Maybe if new things showed up your combat visor it’d be better so you didn’t have to stop is every room to check if there even is anything to scan, but I personally really like it anyway.
It’s little tidbits of out-of-the-way information that isn’t pushed in your face. It’s collectible, which tickles my brain, and I just like it.

If you aren't a casual bitch, yes.

3 without pointer controls would be pretty fucked, especially with how precise your aiming needs to be for the bosses
fuck that golem nigger on hypermode

I'm sure they'll figure something out if they ever made a prime trilogy hd. Do the joycons have motion controls?

That makes her look fat, honestly

Play the remakes first then play the originals

pretty sure thats the point
