Well you should try Super Metriod after beating MP3 if only for comparison purposes.

Super Metriod really makes you feel isolated. When I say isolated, I mean the only thing that's there to comfort you are nasty bugs and vicious bosses.

It's quite possible my favorite game.

I was talking to my friend about just how great Metroid Prime 3 is in level design and layout.

The worlds are obviously not as interconnected as in previous Metroid games, but instead, they are layouted out in such a way for easy exploring, searching and mapping of each level. It is far easier in this game to go through every level and find hidden power ups and even see where you will have to go back and explore with new items than ever before. It truly is a nice change of pace for the series.

Careful, Metroid diehards will crucify us for statements like that. This is non-Metroid after all.

I got the game today and all I can say, after only 30 minutes of play, is WOW!
Now that's what I call a killer-app. (Sony, please take your notebook and write that down, just in case, you know...)

Just got the game yesterday, and I too am blown away! So far it's just been a blast! I'm glad I toughed out playing through Prime 2 in order to enjoy this to its fullest. I'm lovin' the actual cutscenes with voice acting, the interacting with panels. The new controls really liven things up. It took me a bit to get used to more "fps" controls, and actually having to aim at my targets, but now that I've got the hang of it I'm in heaven (although I still occasionally fall off cliffs 'cause I'm pressing the Z trigger instead of the B trigger :-P).

Awesome game and I can't wait to get off work and play some more!

I'm glad as well. Veteran mode all the way. This is no killer app.

You know, from what I've heard of your brother, he's way more of a Nintendo fan than you..

Question about vouchers...

I know if you copy a game to another slot, the Tokens are not retained. Probably the same goes for Friend Vouchers.

But how about copying the saves to an SD card, then backing that up on a computer? Then you give away all your Friend Vouchers from your save on the Wii. If you then copy your save back from your computer or even just from the SD card, really, would you then have your Friend Vouchers back that you can give away again?

Oh don't worry IceCold. I've given Kairon alot of sh!t about that.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #1335 on:** September 06, 2007, 03:12:04 PM »

I should have played this on Veteran mode. I started out on normal without thinking about it, and it's fun and reasonably challenging, but absolutely nothing compared to MP2.
Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant game and one of the best I've ever played. I'm loving every minute of it. But rest assured I will play every difficulty level of this once I finish normal on 100%.

Kairon · « **Reply #1336 on:** September 06, 2007, 04:50:26 PM »

Screw finishing it on narmal. Go back now and start over on Veteran mode. Beating it on easy will just spoil the ending for you. &P

Well, if you guys want him you'll have to tear him away from his Phoenix Wright forum first. I swear he's on Oekaki boards drawing big-breasted Mayas 24/7.

We don't want your brother. We just want you to wallow in self-pity.

Heh, actually TP is probably 3rd or 4th on my list of favorite Zelda games, I just felt the need to rock the avatar for awhile because I was playing it heavily.

MY HAND HURTS!

I just beat the first real boss after the linear tutorial segment and i died like FOUR TIMES!!! My fingers are cramping up and I even had to switch and adjust to a new control scheme because my thumb just died on me after my second death!

Oh god Veteran mode makes these bosses hard! The adventure and exploration parts are all easy as pie so far, but that frickin' first boss! Oh god my hand...my hand... Is this what it's like to be a hardcore gamer?

decoyman · « **Reply #1340 on:** September 06, 2007, 08:58:15 PM »

Hay guys, um, something's, like, wrong w/ Samus's face in the reflection, I think it must be lack of sleep, cuz she's been fighting a loooong time without taking a nap, and like when the people on Battlestar Galactica were on like hour 130 of awakeness, they were all popping narcotics and crap, but Samus is STRAIGHT-EDGE and such, so she doesn't do drugs, but man, she's looking pretty bad, dark circles and creepy lines (can't be worry lines, cuz she knows she's got things under control), but like she just must really need sleep bad, huh, cuz I'm pretty sure she's not a junkie... right? =o

Ahaha, if you had that much trouble with the first boss, I think it'd be best to start on Normal Mode... =)

Uh, you do realize that's because she's becoming more and more corrupted as the game progresses, right? =)

Mashiro · « **Reply #1342 on:** September 07, 2007, 12:43:04 AM »

The first boss was challenging for me on normal mode. Not in a "zomg died again" kinda way but in a "man this is a long fight" kinda way. That second to last orb and final orb were a b!tch to destroy!

bustin98 · « **Reply #1343 on:** September 07, 2007, 03:46:45 AM »

I just beat that golum I think you are talking about, the one with the 4 orbs. Man, what a bitch. I had 36 health left over at the end. And what was up with that final piece 'Press A to discharge phazon'. Oh, I'm so glad I was able to partake in that final battle /sarcasm. Anyway, that was a fun battle, just took forever.

I had 12 health left... =D I win lol.

Kairon · « **Reply #1345 on:** September 07, 2007, 05:56:47 AM »

Well, in my defense, I did start the battle without full health.

Hmm, interesting theory, Bill, but I don't think that's it. I've decided that it must be that she's really tired. But this just amazes me at the amount of realism that Retro has put into this game! Showing her fatigue visually – this is the face of someone upon whom the future of the galaxy – nay, universe – rests!

Edit: Update – Samus is looking worse and worse. I do hope that she gets some rest soon, or I'm afraid of how bad she'll look next time she takes off her helmet

Get some rest, Samus, dang! You already have our respect, no need to overdo it... We need you!

Sorry Mashiro, I didn't know how to do the hidden text

Hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag (not that I could figure out what that stuff was supposed to mean at the end anyway), but I did try to make it so that people wouldn't have looked to answer my questions unless they had finished the game already.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1349 on:** September 07, 2007, 10:12:07 AM »

On the first traditional end-of-planet boss, on veteran, he nearly killed me, down to the last tank of health. Then I figured out how to get all my health back, and I murdered him. That gave him a chance to show off everything he had up his sleeves, which was cool.
