Just watched my brother beat the last quarter of the game.

Question for someone with a high completion %:
What's the point of ship missile expansions?  I've never seen a place to even use the ship missile except on required obstacles.  Where can I use this in combat that would make expansions worthwhile?

Wouldn't it be wise to make a spoiler Metroid Prime 3 thread and keep this one as a general discussion about the game?

I just got to this part today and I agree.  I would have done this last night, but I'm glad I didn't play then because if I had, I wouldn't have enjoyed this fight.  I was too tired to play last night, and it would have caused to be not play at my best and get annoyed very easily.

Oh yes, GP, I have an answer to your question about the so-called "fetch quest"...Collecting some of them are absolutely inavoidable, and the one I've gone out of my way to find (by accident, mind you) was accompanied by a boss battle...So it's not really a fetch quest at all...  

I'm making good progress so far, 9:50 and 63% in (edit: now 11:30 and 79% =3), and on the third planet where the Space Pirate Command Center is...I loved the fight against Gandrayda...It's been a while since I was so satisfied in taking a boss down...Sammy this, BITCH!

Well that is good to hear about the  fetch quests.

Yeah, I loved that fight as well, actually I've loved all the boss fights in this game.  Seriously, this game has some the greatest boss fights EVER!!!  The bosses have been quite challenging and actually require a lot of skill to beat.  The final bosses of each planet are proof of that as they make sure you've mastered everything you've done up to that point in order to beat them.

Take in mind I've been playing the game on Veteran which has a great challenge to it.  Anyone that's playing on Normal might have a different view since I've heard from others that Normal is pretty easy.

I'm playing on normal, mainly because I hated the difficulty of Metroid Prime 2, felt the bosses were annoyingly difficult for the sake of making them difficult instead of them being honestly challenging, and I do not want to be put through that again.

Well, when I start my own save file for real, I'm going to be playing it on Veteran difficulty. Watching my roommate and my brother play it on normal just looks like it's waaaaay too easy. Bosses hardly do any damage at all!

Yeah but why change the difficulty when you won't even beat it!

Actually, I remarked to both my roommate and brother that it really looks re-playable for fun. I wanna pick up the controller and play through the beginning even though I'm currently away from my Wii and won't get to keep the save file.

I'm playing on normal mode and I have to say some of the boss fights are decently challenging so far. I definitely see myself playing through the game again on veteran mode =)

Finished normal mode yesterday. Note: After saving your last save, you can't start that saved game again if you wanted to go back for 100% -- you can only start a new game. It did post a 'completed' screenshot to the Wii Msg Board, which was nice.

Replaying on Veteran difficulty now... bosses are tougher. I'm not sure if they up damage needed but the damage taken is up (from 2 to 5 damage for a pitfall for example).

If you have Friend vouchers to trade, add me, and PM/post yours too. I have 18 to trade. My FC is: 7531 5812 4677 9063

Just got through about half of the second world just cured the AU and am going to get the plasma cannon upgrade.

I was thrilled with how challenging the boss battles have been so far! The atmosphere for the second world is also really cool and so far the game is keeping a really nice pace.

I couldn't be happier with the game so far and can't wait to see what's on the third planet.

Am I the only one that notices that you need to unload a TON of shots or even Charged shots to kill a single pirate in Prime 3?  I'm playing on Hypermode and it just takes way to long to kill them especially when they go into Hyper Mode, which is quite often.

Hypermode so far is pretty much what I expected.  Samus is about 3-4 times weaker than she is on Normal (aka Easy Mode) while the enemies are a bit stronger but likes to go into Hypermode a lot more often.

"I'm playing on Hypermode and it just takes way to long to kill them especially when they go into Hyper Mode, which is quite often."

Retro upped the amount of damage enemies take so people will be more willing to use Hyper Mode...Plus, if you haven't noticed already, an enemy is more resistant to regular beams and weaker to Phazon shots when they are in Hyper Mode themselves...

Ok I have to say something . . .

Destroyed space station/craft is freaking AWESOME. I am now more curious about progressing through the game just to get energy cells and see what the hell is going on.

This game just gets better and better.

Oh and I am also happy about Samus' armor now. The upgrade makes the suit look much cooler so I guess their design for it wasn't all that bad afterall, I wonder if it continues to change? I'm sure it does . . .

Even though they are stronger when in Hyper Mode, at Hyper difficult, the shielded pirates take almost an entire tanks worth of Phazon to kill them.  It's a bit overkill imo especially when there are multiple-armoured pirates in a room.  Oh, and wait till you face Gandraya on Hyper difficulty, she requires a TON of shots and thats including unloading all your Phazon shots.[\SPOILER]

Oh God, that's what I'm fearing.  That fight took me forever in Veteran mode, I knew it'd be a nightmare in Hyper mode.

Let me say something about the game's ending: It underdelivered.

Lol Bill funny story. While playing last night my sisters BF was watching me play the game a bit and one scene occurred where Samus had her helmet off and he was shocked "Oh what? You play as a girl!?".

I thought everyone knew Samus was a girl, guess it's still a surprise to some.
