Bill's 'sopiler' tags have ruined Metroid for me forever! OH NO!

lol I like the grenades that the pirates throw that force you into hyper mode and you instantly have to expel all your Phazon. It's like "All right ya bastard, if you want me run around like a raving lunatic firing the most powerful weapon at my disposal as fast as I can, I will."

Haha, I don't think the Space Pirates realize that Samus is equipped with a suit that allows her to utilize the Phazon in that manner... ='D

Yay, finished the game at exactly 15 hours and 100% with no walkthrough help...A very satisfying final boss followed by a satisfactory ending...

Don't read unless you've seen the special 100% ending! I liked the close-up of Samus' face; Retro did a good job on it...Oh, and what the hell was with the "cliffhanger" ending, Retro!? Either they want to get back to Metroid as soon as possible or it may have to do with the elusive Metroid Dread, which they teased at in the Metroid containment area on the Pirate Homeworld!

Wow, that is a serious accomplishment Bill. Congrats! Was that your first play through?

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...

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.

Hyper Mode plays exactly the same as Normal except for the fact that Samus is unbelievably weaker. The enemy AI is still pretty brain dead and the bosses still follow the same pattern. For instance, the battle with Gandraya went exactly the same as it did for me on Normal except that it took a LONG time to finish. My wrist was really tired.

In the end, Hyper Mode really comes down to how well you manage your energy tanks.

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

I just realized that the game's beginning gives it away.

Yep, but there's still a couple scans out there that I need to find... >=|

Another thing I found kinda odd (spoilers pertaining to the other Hunters)...The fact that both Ghor and Gandrayda talked their mouths off and went out of their way to belittle Samus...HOWEVER, Rundas not only kept his mouth shut, nary to speak a word, but also helped Samus by taking out the Space Pirates that confronted her...This makes me think that Rundas was not completely corrupted by the Phazon yet, and fought against Samus for the sole sake of fighting someone he considered a rival (as much as his bio denies him believing "rivals" exist)...Just something interesting to think about...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1308 on:** September 04, 2007, 01:37:47 PM »

Double-posting to alleviate worries of not completing the logbook and extras after beating the game...You'll be asked to save, but your logbook and extras will carry onto your new file...

(I don't believe it is possible to unlock everything on one save file anyway...)

Mashiro · « **Reply #1309 on:** September 04, 2007, 02:54:40 PM »

Ah that's awesome news thanks Bill =)

(I accidently disintegrated one of the lifeless space pirates when blasting open a door and I wasn't able to scan it haha, glad I can scan it on the next go.

Oh and I just got to the part where the phazon metroids get let out of their holding cells because you need to remove the power source . . . pure awesome. Love the music that kicks in when everything powers down.

I JUST LOVE GAMES WHERE ANY BOSS SEEMS LIKE IT CAN BE THE FINAL BOSS OF LESSER/WEAKER GAMES!!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1311 on:** September 05, 2007, 04:37:59 PM »

The second main boss in this game is too hard. How many nights am I supposed to waste fighting the same creature?

Did I find an ingame bug? The charge beam doesn't attrack any health or missles when fighting Mogenar

Ending Spoilers

So why did the Admiral look happy that he thought Samus died?

Why was she reflecting on the hunters, happy or sad to see them go?

What was that ship supposed to be with the final ending scene?

Kairon · « **Reply #1313 on:** September 05, 2007, 06:11:22 PM »

Please use [spoi1er] tags [/spoi1er]!

1) He knew that Samus was alive...

2) She was sad, obviously...It was to show that she did have a soft, human side to her...

3) I bet it has something to do with Metroid Dread...

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1315 on:** September 05, 2007, 06:30:14 PM »

Okay, after five hours I finally beat the 2nd major Boss. Big thanks to Bill "The Metroid Master" Aurion for his imparted wisdom.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1316 on:** September 05, 2007, 09:17:45 PM »

Man I am hopelessly in love with this game.

You are hopelessly missing from this forum.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1318 on:** September 06, 2007, 12:44:25 AM »

Dude use the god damn spoiler tags, holy god.

It's SPOILER and /SPOILER with [ on the LEFT and ] on the RIGHT of the word.

Learn it. Use it. THANK YOU.

I had a hard time getting into Metroid Prime, but I'm -really- wanting to play this. Should I take a leap of faith and buy it?

Kairon · « **Reply #1320 on:** September 06, 2007, 06:38:32 AM »

I really grew bored of Metroid Prime fast. This game is so far blowing that supposedly awesome game away at eveery turn. The pacing is infinitely better, the world is actually much easier to navigate, and the control scheme DOES make all the difference. I love the wiimote.

Stogi · « **Reply #1321 on:** September 06, 2007, 06:40:56 AM »

DO IT!

I see your a TP fan. It is better than that game hands down.

Kairon · « **Reply #1322 on:** September 06, 2007, 06:49:00 AM »

::thinks::

... that may be true.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1323 on:** September 06, 2007, 07:19:01 AM »

Prime3 is the most non-gamer Metroid of all.

Kairon · « **Reply #1324 on:** September 06, 2007, 07:25:13 AM »

I've NEVER actually enjoyed myself a lot in a Metroid game (though I haven't yet bought Super Metroid on the VC, and my brother hogged the game back in the day whenever we went to a friend's place), so the fact that I like Metroid Prime 3 says a lot.
