Why was it the best in the series?

It's great. I have misgivings about the combat, but I've never played a metroidvania whose combat I liked. Do give it a whirl if you like Metroid.

Thanks I got it DL now
I like art whore games with dabs so here we go

What's so good about prime 2? I thought most of the fights were just annoying and awkward

It's the worst though.
Ignoring games that aren't part of the series like Other M.
That's a good thing, Fusion's structure is horrible.

It's really not that artsy. Hollow Knight is probably more artsy than Axiom Verge. AV does have a large emphasis on story, so be prepared. Helps that the story is really good.

Big true but worst Ridley fight

Zero was the worst 2D by quite a margin

What made fusion's structure bad?
It was perfectly paced imo

I fucking hated this boss when i was a kids, made me stop playing. I still kind of gave a grudge against it. Great sprite though

I consider axiom verge's pulsating walls of alien flesh to be art

Not him but most people complain about the having to go back and forth between the computer giving you the missions, seemingly giving the player no freedom at all, and having the gates block you from further exploring.

I didn't say it was artsy. And what I meant by what I DID say is that this game is made essentially to convey sense through the way it is made. It's unconventional for a reason.

Security gates worked within the context of the space station

Talking to Adam every twenty minuets got annoying so I understand that now

I recall fusion making some unmarked breakable blocks necessary for progression, requiring the player to bomb randomly in a spot that might have a path. I could be misremembering though

Using bombs would show what the tile was breakable from same with all metroids

Yeah but fusion made finding hidden blocks mandatory more than other games. Other metroid games generally only required spamming bombs to find breakable blocks when you're looking for optional stuff

People think that Fusion and Super Metroid were made by the same people, but most of the developers were actually new to the series.

The idea behind Fusion was to make a linear game so both the developers and the audience could get a feel for how Metroid works, and then to give them a taste of the real deal with a second game (Zero Mission in this case).

Handheld makes you wipe away expectations of "serious or spooky theme"

It was the closest Metroid came to imitating Alien/zombie movies

Why was that so hard?

So what about the gimped Ball Jumping and rail-roading you to one path? Story wasn't even that great.

SeeA lot of changes need to be made for Metroid 5 o be good from Samus's suit design, to the story not being Federation shit, to the gameplay being more open-ended.

For my money the semblance of a story somehow stitches it together in a way no other Metroid does.

Fusion suit is best suit
Gameplay would be better since it had limitations of GBA

Best controls, atmosphere, difficulty and bosses.
It also has that whole meta-narrative after the system failure where Samus goes back to operating like in previous games after Adam railroaded her.
It's honestly really well thought out but I have a tendency to like the black sheep entries of some series

Over what?

I started with the NES metroid, and was mildly ok with it, but it was "meh" (mostly due to a lack of alternative games to play as a kid)
The next time i played a metroid game, it was Fusion.
Eventually got a hold of Fusion.
This was some of the most boring unlikable garbage Ive ever played.
I think I got to the 2nd boss before I got bored and quit. (probably a bit before, I forget)

Near the end of the Wiis lifespan, I decide to buy/try Super Metroid. (ppl wouldnt shut up abotu it.)
This game was vastly better than fusion, and pretty darn addicting.
The next metroid game i got was zero mission.
Its arguable which is better, super, or zero.
I rushed through zero with more interest than super, but super had a lot of "charm" that zero doesnt have. but the quality of life changes in zero makes it much harder to put down.
Part of me says super, but i know i enjoyed zero more.
Either way, these two easily blow fusion out of the water.

Now im looking to try Prime, due to so many people talking positively of it.

>prime 2
Absolute tip top taste my man.

The game has a great soundtrack

Considered going back to fusion and playing more than twenty minuets?
(Or however long it took you, not a personal attack)

bosses are a letdown and the story isn't all that good desu. decent game though. better than momodera by far

Out of the 2d games it's the only one that took the series in a new direction, with the story, the art style, the setting. The gameplay has everything that super metroid had but it was faster paced and more challenging. Zero Mission had a lot of the improvements that Fusion had, but the world felt more disconnected and not as immersive. The more cartoon style didn't fit with the sense of fear that Fusion, Super Metroid and even metroid 2 managed to create and made them so engaging.

The Zero Suit mission tacked onto the end was fun for the first time, but it makes it a lot less interesting when you're trying to replay it for the endings/speedrunning, which is a big part of what makes metroid so much fun in the long run. The only real downside I can see to Fusion is the forced linearity and having to read the dialogue with the computer every time with no ability to skip.

Super Metroid overall, I think, was a more "perfect" game, whereas Fusion was more of a lower key artsy cult classic, kind of like what Majora's Mask is to Ocarina of Time.

>Other examples of black sheep gems?
Tales of Xillia 2, Xenoblade X and God of War '18 are some recent examples, in my personal opinion

I dont remember how long, id imagine "long" since im a slow player in most games.
but i have thought about retrying it, but i never muster the interest.
i tend to dislike most metrovania games, due to their lack of "zelda style" of exploration/progression.
too many of them play like the linear castlvania titles i dont like, and not enough like the "pick your path" style that symphony did. (along with finding perma powerups, etc, to make exploration exciting)
back to the point, it felt like fusion skirted the line of the later, rather than the former, way too closely, which is why i think i was so bored with it.

action doesnt excite me, but exploration, followed a reward for finding hidden stuff. (pretty much hide and seek)
of course the reward is shit, if it doesnt do something i consider worth while, so the action combat helps, since the powerups can help with the combat. (helping the hide and seek isnt always the best way to go about it, but sometimes its fine)

Cellular Skies has an incredible Melody

Abit of a chiptune need here and it's understandable the composer wanted to have pure sounding tracks but most modern chip tune sounds more fulfilled (see hotline Miami) Because they use modern bass line tools like 808s and I really wish AV's composer did the same so I could listen to the songs out of context of the games

while i find fusion to be a bad game, artistically, i think it does the job best out of all of them. (for the same reasons u mention.) I also think this is why i liked super over zero more, despite how much i enjoyed zero.

So around %20 into the game Samus realizes she's being fucked with by the computer and railroaded so you get into to this cat, mouse and lion game to get your power ups and defeat the big bad. It's meta and self aware of the metroidvania style and successfully suberts it.

After reading your post I feel like Fusion is the anti-metroidvania metroidvania for you.. if you would give it a chance to get to that %20 mark

From screenshots, it seems to be aping Giger’s art quite a bit.

Contrarianism, genuine ninja team shills, and its funny to pretend so people yell at you.

Fusion was a handheld game, which means it was meant to be played in 20-40 minute bits at a time.
Once you understand this, a lot of it flaws start making sense.

Fusion is better than Other M in every way but anyone says that they want the direction Fusion took for the series for Metroid 5 is an idiot, it was the worst mainline game in the series before Other M was a thing. With Metroid 5, I'm fine with Samus talking but that better be the only thing from Fusion that returns, Suit better resemble the Power Suit and gameplay better be a evolved Metroid and Super Metroid.

Metroid 5 will probably be what you say but the more horroresk atmosphere should return from fusion too

Nope, that wasn't the reason it was linear, that was because the team felt Super Metroid was too hard, which is why Sakamoto made the team make Zero Mission next. Sakamoto wanted the team to understand what Metroid was, ironic since Other M it seemed like he forgot what it was.

The SA-X's eyes are too close for my tastes. Looks like an old asian man. Love everything else. Shame about the watermark. Faggot just put a signature on it like every other artist.

Agreed, make the rogue Chozo scary.

Unironically try AM2R.

All I'm hearing is Reasons YOU didn't like the game.

Which is fair. But not every game in the series has to be exactly the same. The problem is those things were done terribly, not that they were done in the first place.
Metroid Fusion shows the more story focused approach can work, and Prime 2 and Samus Returns show that more action focused Metroids can work.

He just got done talking about his dislikes for linearity and action and you recommend AM2R? The most action-oriented Metroid to date?

>make the rogue Chozo scary.

Yeah, when you first get to Sector 5 you need to break a random block in the first room to progress.

>seemingly giving the player no freedom at all, and having the gates block you from further exploring
That was the fucking point. Samus isn't left to her own devices for a change and has to deal with how limited she is and how much she owes to the Feds. It's why the game opens up so hard once you start picking up unsanctioned upgrades.

It wouldn't be hard to write them/one back

They would be so perfect in a horror setting, it could be miss guided and blame Samus for their extinction and try to kill her

But now I'm just writing head cannon

What the fuck? How?

it wasn't super metroid is

Vital Tide is so good and perfect for the game's atmosphere. This was a 100% one dude project too like Cave Story was. Tom Happ did everything. With that in mind, I'm glad he's taking his time on the sequel but where the fuck is some news already?

All the Chozo that we know of are dead. I’m assuming the warring Chozo are still alive somewhere or in hiding.

How? Everything necessary to know about it was done by 2.

Muh lore

no, phazon was explored as much as it needed to be. anything else would be dragging

A solid 7. Frankly, the world is too goddamned big, the environments too repetitive, and the combat too simple to be anything more than that, but if you're a fan of the genre you'll still find it very enjoyable. I think the world and story are interesting enough to carry it on their own.

Do people really want that? I've considered it plainly obvious that nothing will happen to Samus as a result of the B.S.L. simply because the feds wouldn't want to make an enemy of Samus. I fully expect the next Metroid game that takes place after Fusion to write off any sort of tribunal in the opening minutes as nothing more than a blip.

I agree with you

No easier than Fusion.
It's short, but it's also fun all the way.
What's wrong with the stealth segment?

But what really takes the cake is how Samus looked. In Fusion she looks like a fucking photo model, while in Zero Mission she looks buff as hell with the exception of a couple of ending screens.

Dunno user it's been on my pc for years

>I want them to retry a space station a lá zero mission

Bruh, she blew up their research station along with the last remaining Metroids and took Adam who more than likely has EVERY bit of dirty laundry on the feds. That doesn't say "we're letting this go." The fact that they have enough data to support and modify Chozo tech basically screams "We can make our own Samus."

fusion sucks cocks

She was buff in Fusion too, the stealth segment felt rushed and slapped on, it really wasn't needed and just broke from the gameplay.

GF = Man

I don't agree. The stealth was a welcome addition which added much needed variation, plus you really get to understand what kind of difference the power suit makes.

Shit forgot luminoth = moth

Oh my god you have shit taste motherfucker, fusion is one the best metroid with super metroid and metroid prime 1, deal with it fucking faggot

Bats probably.

Ehh I'm not seeing it. The feds don't lend any credence to being a believable villain after the things Samus has been through. What, they're gonna trap her on a planet? Gonna shoot down her ship? Anything you can say that involves the words
>In Metroid 5, the federation is the enemy and
is just laughable. The federation that has gotten their ass kicked time, and time again by things Samus destroys?

You just know it'll go rogue and then Samus will have to save the day. It's nonsensical for the feds to be the enemy and it not be farcical.

user...I was talking about user's MP2 image.

It's not bad at all, it just doesn't feel as refined as Super Metroid and later 2D titles. Air control is near 100%, there's no acceleration or weight to your character for the most part. Not a bad thing really, but with such fine control it's easy to avoid a lot of stuff requiring that the design be tuned up in such a way where things are flying at you incredibly fast to ensure difficulty. In Metroid, because movement isn't instantaneous, things move slower and you have to plan out your movement in advance, because once you commit, you're either going to wind up in their attacks or not. I don't really like the system, it kind of feels like one of those bullet hell schmups at times where any non-pixel perfect movement can get you killed.

The story at first I thought was lame, but once I got all the pieces of it, it was pretty nice. I don't really like time travel or other sorts of deus ex machina things in my stories and was pleased when I found out there wasn't any of that actually going on, it was nothing more than a red herring.

Only complaint I have about Fusion was the linearity of it. There's not a whole lot of times you can sequence break because the game expects you to follow a rigid line of progression with the computer narrating your objectives. Not bad for a first playthough, it's just subsequent ones start to get a little dry.

Conceptually a Federation-created Samus going rogue is fine and doesn't necessarily make the Federation the villains, as they could have been simply trying to prototype equipment/surgical procedures to enhance their own forces so Samus doesn't have to be the one saving the day all the damn time. It makes them look irresponsible, which... isn't new.

Fusion had great ideas seriously

it would be the best if remade in 3D, with a pinch of deadspace atmosphere

being trapped in a space station, with big sectors, trying to get stronger and stronger with power ups all the while being hunted down by the SA-X with multiple ways of hidding

it would work the best with a real IA, no script and better ways of hiding or running away

Clearly, if fusion isn't especially the best, it still has the best ideas for a videogame

It's just too sad it's stuck to 2D gba game because it has a huge potential story wise and gameplay wise

Zero Mission had her body bigger. Fusion was the exception.

Nah, you've got to understand, the feds aren't so much the villain as they are an antagonist in a future game. They're after Samus because of a misguided belief that she's actually gone rogue and is working with the space pirates now, so the next Metroid has them chasing her to ground on a Space Pirate controlled planet. Meanwhile, the Space Pirates are STILL hostile to Samus at the same time, so Samus is essentially being chased by both factions.

The gameplay would involve having the zones split into Fed controlled zones, Space Pirate zones, and battle zones where the two are fighting amongst themselves. Space Pirate zones are the most classic form of gameplay since everything is hostile to you, battlegrounds usually involve some strong enemies duking it out that you slowly power up and eclipse over the course of the game (Think like those pink pirates in Super who can't be harmed without plasma), and the GF zones have GF security and non-combatants in, you have to use the zero suit to sneak around like the Zero Mission stealth segments to avoid destroying them.

As the game progresses and you kill bosses though, the presence of each force becomes more worn down and something sinister starts to creep up from the core of the planet, overtaking their once-controlled zones. Could be Metroids, could be X-Parasites, or something brand new, but it's spreading throughout the previous zones, modifying their ecology, changing the enemy set, and generally making a mess of things, opening up new routes and sealing others, sort of like when the plant monster overtook that zone in Fusion. There's a secret ending for sequence breaking enough to avoid killing any bosses and skipping straight to the zone that first contained this enemy, you'd have to kill the final boss without the majority of e-tanks and upgrades.

Sounds like Prototype, but with another faction. I don't like it, unless you're helping defend GF areas, but have the option to fight them if they are X-infected and will try to kill you.

I don't like the idea of the GF being directly evil, just shady and not someone Samus would ever join again unless it was a against a universal threat like the pirates. At best they consider Samus an asset, but a nuisance that has disrupted their secret war engineering for anything Metroid.

AV was more like a simple piece of art than HK to me.
HK wanted to be a great game, AV wants to tell its meaning more than be a proper game sometimes.

>not Weavel

I loved this boss it was so comicbook-y

I can't. Prime 2 and 3 have the best varia suit.

Look at the image, look with your eyes, look and bask in the beauty of the dark suit once it has the gravity boost installed.

Visually, it is as if Metroid 3 was made for the NES using the same hardware and chip upgrades as games like Castlevania 3, but beyond that it's pretty shit.

super linear, gated, with retarded, plodding story bits no one cared about. it's no wonder zoomzooms sing its praises more and more as the years go by.

what fucking idiot coded the cellular skies video?

The bosses were good fun. Final boss is a good deal because your skill and expertise in use of tools controls how fast the fight goes.
>only ONE (1) place in the entire game where you need to use the address gibberish to decode a secret, so you never think to use it like that ever
That's blatantly untrue.
>terrible pseud-musings-tier story
As is this.

There's no justification for trying to make her look like a bodybuilder. All of her abilities are a result of having a transfusion of magic alien blood and using one of their high tech suits. You see one of the Chozo using a suit to fight in the manga and he's a shriveled old fuck, not muscular.

>The bosses were good fun. Final boss is a good deal because your skill and expertise in use of tools controls how fast the fight goes.
That's blatantly untrue.
>That's blatantly untrue.
Example?
>As is this.
It's not my fault you've never read a book and that your perspective is wanting.

PFFT HAHAHAHAHAHA

>(patched)
Yeah?
>That's blatantly untrue.
Not at all. I guarantee you I can kill the final boss faster than you can.
>Example?
We're talking about the wave decoder gun right?
>It's not my fault you've never read a book and that your perspective is wanting.
m8 pseud-musings? What pseud musings?

This will never be finished, will it?

While the rocket heels are always going to be a pants on head retarded design choice, I unironically think Samus in Ultimate is a pretty solid rendition. Muscular but not overly so

You cannot sequence break in fusion, at all, period, because of how the event system in the game works. Getting a powerup early can literally make the game unwinnable.
