Maridia is worse

i’ve been having fun so far but what’s with the main paths to progress being so well hidden, with no indication or clue of their location whatsoever?

I hate Norfair. And the backtracking to Crateria halfway through which happens nowhere else in the game.

They should release Super Metroid with a Remixed Mode.. Tweaking the map. increasing the difficulty, and changing AI.

bad taste tbqh desu senpai
Hating Norfair is understandable

Just played and completed the game for the first time. I 100% it, to boot.

I fucking loved it, the game was absolutely amazing and definitely deserves the praise it gets.

That being said.
Fuck this room. I'm fine with hiding missile upgrades and E tanks in ridiculous locations (like that one E tank in Crateria in the ceiling. Or the Missile upgrades in a secret room already within a secret room). But this room was necessary for progression. It is WAY worse than any criticisms regarding the glass tube. This room is far more "how could you know that".

>how could you know that

The map, which is the answer for this and the tube.

Maridia is the best area

The mao only gives you a little dot and you don;t get the X-Ray Beam or whatever it's called until later.

Though I can't remember what the fuck you had to do in that room.

>This room is far more "how could you know that".
xray

>The mao only gives you a little dot
nigga you what
go to the map room
download the map to your suit
open pause
see the fucking map
see that there is shit above that room
you get the idea

The problem is you're playing it with a Modern mindset of Internet Knowledge and not having to think or do trial and error.

Back when that shit was new, it was normal to just fuck around and shoot everything. Part of the Journey, and we had so much more journey than destination back then.

Look at your pic. The minimap shows that there's an open path above you and at that point you have the Spazer Beam, if you shot at the enemies before they drop you will probably open the path by accident.

What about the exit from Lower Norfair that not even the X-ray scope reveals? I forget if it was possible to backtrack to the entrance elevator from there but it was bullshit either way.

super metroid is unplayable in 2020.

just listen to the ost and play hollow knight instead.

They did, they're called romhacks.

hk is pretty but boring and way over relies on its combat for how basic it is, sm is still great if you're not pic related

none of the people who have these problems played the first metroid, so cryptic dumb bullshit like false walls and that 1 spot you have to shoot goes clear over their head

super dumbed it down and made it obvious by having rooms that went "nowhere" and people still don't get it

That's the entire point of the game
It's to encourage you to explore every nook of your surroundings

Nah
Okay the other guy was a bit wrong, but this guy is actively stupid.

>I 100% it, to boot.
I fucking doubt it. There's like 10 completely hidden items that don't have any clue toward their location - they're just randomly placed. There's no way during a first playthrough you'd be prompted to find them.

Everytime one of these threads gets posted there's some "how could you have known that" thing that I have no memory of being a problem. Do you people just not use your Super Bombs? I was spamming them like a motherfucker in my playthroughs, there's really no reason not to.

X-Ray Scope and a ton of power bombs help.
The only one that is that hard to figure out by yourself is the missile at Maradia first room (from the tube entrance) that requires you to shinespark at a somewhat precise pixel

Well yeah, the original metroid was a poorly designed mess of an experiment.

Huh... No, you can see that missile at all times, and just using the x-ray or a bomb tells you exactly what you need to do, it's nothing compared to the gauntlet (that area to the left above your ship), that one time in brimstar where you have to drop into the fake carnivorous plant, or that one item that you can only access from an entrance mid-way on the climb back from the old mother brain room.

there's barely any combat in hk. wtf? did you get filtered by a kids game?

user, he's saying that the combat is boring, not that it isn't present.

>barely any combat
