I’m not having fun.

>>713386758 (OP)
THEN PLAY SOMETHING GOD DAMN

>>713386758 (OP)
Finished replaying it the other day and I had a lot of fun

>>713386758 (OP)
2 is kino

>>713386758 (OP)
Then the game just isn't your cup of tea.

Plenty of other games out there.

>>713386758 (OP)
The game is very overrated.

so is your mother but I'm clapping her cheeks every night

3d "metroid" has always been ass. It's terrible as an FPS. It's terrible as a platformer. It's terrible for exploration. None of the boss fights are memorable or well designed. Muh scanner and visor swapping is shit. There's literally nothing redeemable about any of it, but /v/tards defend it because of the nostalgia goggles strapped to their faces.

it's a series that aged terribly held up by nostalgia and people who had never played a good fps in their childhood.
there's a very good reason metroid prime 4 was going to be vaporware, i'm sure the devs realized how dated the entire idea felt.

But that's just like, your opinion, man.

>he felt for the 'it was my first FPS so it's good" meme
3D Metroid is so shit.

>>713386758 (OP)
It is a very good game, but i'd say its core fault is the overreliance on the scanner and the second biggest fault that combat is basically just spamming charge beams with whatever is your newest laser. But outside of that, it is a great 3D exploration based game especially for its time

>Another prime hate thread
so who is the schizo making these threads

>>713387601
Also and most importantly it's terrible as a Metroid. In real Metroid games backtracking is fun because you become way more powerful and efficient at movement with shit like space jump, wall jumps, shinesparks, screw attack, etc. Prime has none of that making backtracking so boring.

>>713388118
Metroid should rip off prey 2016, the experience would be ten times better.

Saved you a thread.

First-person games are only good when you use keyboard and mouse. Luckily, there is a solution.

Then it's just not for you, and that's okay.

Super Missiles are probably the best weapon in the game given their damage output for the resources you spend. Ice Spreader fucks too but it's twice as many missiles for a weapon that doesn't see nearly as much practical use. Aside from the one room in Phazon Mines with 4 Ice Pirates, I don't even know where that weapon is optimal to use compared to just Super Missiles.

>>713389929
Despite how objectively shit it is I do really like using the wave buster or whatever it's called, at least on Wave Pirates

>>713390224
I have no idea why they put consistent missile drain on Wavebuster and Flamethrower. Even at base cost they're still not THAT good. Wavebuster is cute though and it can cut a little time down against multiple Wave Pirates since they're the slowest to kill. That fucking missile drain though.

>in real Metroid games backtracking is fun
at the time prime was being made, there were only three metroid games and only super had a significant amount of backtracking. 2 is linear and 1 is more of a hub setup

>>713390472
How else are you going to fuel them?

>>713386758 (OP)
Was this the only bing bing wahoo game you could afford after paying 500 bucks for your wowie zowie 1 game machine?

>i-it's a schizo!!
Nah, Metroid Prime is shit. Gimme Fusion or anything in 2D. Once in a while OP doesn't suck cocks.

>First-person games are only good when you use wagie equipment!
No one asked faggo. But MP is garbage regardless of input device.

>>713392301
nta I think the steady use is fine, it's the 10 missile upfront cost that annoys me

>>713386758 (OP)
I wonder why

>>713387601
Metroid Prime got notoriety for it's great use of Gamecube hardware through art direction and also some good music tracks. It showcased how strong the Gamecube, in other words. Playing the game was a struggle even at then, but it got a pass because there hadn't been a Metroid game of any sort for many year since it skipped the N64. Also it got a pass at the time because it was categorized not as an FPS but an FPA (First Person Adventure) as to not put it in direct competition with games like Halo 2 and even Timesplitters. Finally, Gamecube had slim pickings whole PS2 and Xbox were getting basically everything gamecube was but better or more feature packed, so Metroid was the Gamecube Only gamer's "Halo" and they treated it as such.

I've beaten Metroid Prime a few times, but I have no intention of starting a new save anymore. Whenever I tried, I'd get to a certain point, get bored and put the game down. Legitimately Super Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Dread (I never played the 3DS game) are all better than the Prime games.

90% of gamers on /v/ are fat, stinky fags and you can just tell without even seeing them.

boring game, terrible enemy AI
guns as keys is stupid

My favorite part of Metroid is walking back and forth down the same hallway 4 times in Chozo Ruins, it makes me stand and clap.
