Finished the game at 13 hours on my first run through. I only died once so I started a new game on Hyper, which will hopefully present a great challange. Amazing game, from start to finish. Whereas Echoes and Prime fell flat due to the horribly tacked on key collection, Prime 3 felt perfectly paced the entire time. In fact, it got even better halfway through. You didn't spend too much time in one area and news objectives seemed to grab my attention. This game truly is a masterpiece and easily deserving of all the praise. It'll be hard to play any Metroid game after this, including Super. They just polished the formula and added that thick layer of gloss.
Wow, that review is totally gushing on MP3 - which is pretty much how I feel about it.Jonnyboy117 said:
I don't agree that it's better than KB+M though, although I like movement here better than KB+M.
Did you start the game on veteran or normal? If you started on veteran, then you're really good.evilromero said:

Oh god I love this game so much, it took over my entire weekend
One quick question guys...
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
One quick question guys...
I just beat Helios and opened up the Pirate Homeworld. I decided to do some item collection before I head there and started on Norion where I ran smack dab into the Metroid Hatcher. I don't want to know how to beat it but I barely scrathed it my first go-round and I wanted to know if it's something I should be fighting yet or should I wait until I'm stronger? I'd hate to waste the whole night trying to kill it if there's something I'm supposed to get first before I fight it.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
he is doable, just shoot at the tentacles things. he will hide them after you keep shooting at them when hides all of them, shoot at his mouth that will make him dizzy then use the grapple lasso to jank the tentacles out of him.Saint Gregory said:Oh god I love this game so much, it took over my entire weekend

Aim for its tentacles until he tucks all of them inside. Then he will spin/charge at you, so dodge that. After he is done, get up close to him and unleash a charged shot into his open mouth and spam the plasma beam until he flips out. Then you'll get a grapple point for the tentacles, so grapple and tug them off. Once you tear off each tentacle, he's dead. He's one of my favorite enemies in the game.

You will get an upgrade later in the game that allows you to kill it in one hit. Of course, this will take away all of the challenge, but imo, the hatcher battle wasn't much fun anyway. I thought it was frustrating. But if you do want to fight it without the future upgrade, you should lock on to its 5 tentacles using seeker missiles. Otherwise, I think it will be extremely difficult (atleast, I thought hitting its tentacles with the powerbeam was hard to do)

Actually, for some reason I can't kill that thing inside. It won't work at all. It doesn't seem to be taking any damage and I've been shooting it at it from half to full phazon.

Comments like this? I think I'm the first to specifically state this. Super is hailed as the best game ever made. It's probably the most polished 2D game out there. But why can't they add even more? I just don't understand comments like these.Sharp said:

Okay, I've run out of hyperbole. Simply put, this game is absolutely amazing, has completely outdone my expectations, and I can't wait to see the rest.
landed on the Pirate Homeworld for the first time and I thought I'd just put out some random observations and thoughts I had on the game.
When Ghor started attacking Samus' gunship on Elysia, I was sure that he was going to possess Samus' ship and use it against her. I thought that what was Ghor's ability to interface with mechanical devices was leading up to. As awesome as having to fight your own ship would have been, the Ghor fight was pretty good as it was, so I can't really complain.
I have to admit, I'm not too fond of Skytown. Okay, so the final part where you have to defend the Spire from a Space Pirate attack was cool, and Helios was incredible, but the area in general bored me. The layout was really repetitive and the enemies weren't too interesting. I have to give Retro credit, though; the Metroid breakout was really atmospheric, even if the actual Metroids were total pushovers.
Holy crap, the bosses are incredible. The Metroid Prime games have always had excellent bosses, but this game just pushes it to the next level. I thought that a few of the previous Prime games had bosses with too much health for their own good, but every fight so far has been memorable and none have gotten boring. I haven't had sweaty palms in a game for quite some time.
Berserker Lord was a pretty good introduction to using the aiming controls properly. While the rematch with him in the Chozo Observatory on Elysia was kind of random, it was fun to see how far I had come since my first fight with him. I would have rather seen a Torizo or something there, though.
Meta Ridley was incredible. So far, that's the defining moment of the game. I even liked how Samus defeats him; by jamming her arm cannon down his throat and opening fire. In-freaking-credible.
Mogenar was the only boss I really found annoying or unfun to fight. It was just tedious, since his weak points are only open sporadically, especially when you're trying to time a Hypermode activation. The appearance of the Leviathan Seed was amazing, though. It looked so organic and alive. Simply incredible.
The Metroid Hatcher was pretty disappointingly easy, though. Seriously, after the challenge that was Helios, the Hatcher was pretty pathetic. I don't think that thing touched me more than once in the entire fight; the only damage I sustained was when I stupidly threw myself off the platform. The one thing I can say in the Hatcher's favour is that the fight was a surprise. I was just going to Norion to pick up an Energy Cell... and holy crap, got ambushed by a boss.

If it were a matter of adding more, okay, but saying "can't go back" implies that a game has been obsoleted. Airplanes haven't obsoleted cars, nor have cars obsoleted bicycles. I fully understand that for some people Prime 3 is a better game than Super Metroid, I'm just not sure how it makes it obsolete. It's easy to make that argument for Metroid -> Super Metroid, as SM did literally everything better, and then some. The only reason I can really think of at the moment to say the same about Super Metroid -> Prime 3 would be if you can't stand the backtracking in SM now, but it's so streamlined in that game that it's hard to imagine that as the reason.evilromero said:
I hope they have the decency to make a soundtrack, the music is too good to not make one.
edit: I just finished the game again 100% this is the best nintendo game in the past decade. if SMG is anything like MP3 in terms of awesomeness then I'll melt.

For starters, Prime 3 is building upon the Metroid formula. It is appropriate to think that it will tighten aspects of previous games to suit more modern approches to gameplay design. It doesn't make Super any less important from a historical perspective. I just think Prime 3 took that template and fully enriched it.Sharp said:

After playing Prime 3 I honestly feel like SMG has some huge shoes to fill. Or maybe I should say, Prime 3 is a hard act to follow, even if you're Mario or Smash Bros. The game completely blew all my expectations out the window. I can hear the humming of hidden missles in my ear now.Error said:
At this point, only SMG has a chance to take on MP3 as the GOTY for any console games at this point.evilromero said:
I have no idea what the czars/dictators at Nintendo did to rebuild Retro studios into such a studio, but whatever it is, Retro studios is definitely one, if not the top five best in the industry.
