I'm guessing all the reviewers who said Metroid Prime 3 was easier then the first two must have been playing on Normal mode, because I started out on Veteran mode and I'm now over halfway through the 2nd planet, and I must say the game is around Prime 2's normal difficulty. Actually I'd say some parts have been slightly harder, like a certion boss fight that Bill described earlier that was f*cking sweet. So the Normal Mode in Prime 3 must really be an Easy Mode, while Veteran is the true Normal.

Well, I can't wait to play this game on Hard Mode then once I unlock it. Prime 1 and 2's Hard Mode were amazing experiences that really tested your gaming skills, and with 3 having a good difficulty on Veteran, Hard should be quite a treat.

I like Echoes' difficulty.

But you forgot to turn off your Hints.

"I NEVER got to talk with co-workers about the Gamecube because no one had it and no one cared."

Aha Ian, all you did was complain about how poorly Ninty was doing with the Gamecube, so you could have easily had a "nice" conversation with them about it...

"One thing I enjoy about Free Aim Lock On is that it makes the game feel more "hectic" and more "real". I have to say the controls really make the Prime series that much better. It's far more satisfying to actually aim and shoot stuff than just lock on and blast away (for me at least)."

You'll NEED this in some boss battles...NEED IT...

Lies.

(Wait need what? Free Aim Lock On on or off?)

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1204 on:** August 29, 2007, 12:51:02 PM »

Free Aim ON...

Mashiro · « **Reply #1205 on:** August 29, 2007, 12:52:39 PM »

It is on . . . when did I say I had it off? <3 Free Aim

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1206 on:** August 29, 2007, 12:53:27 PM »

I didn't say you had it off you fiend...

And so do I. That's why I'm telling people that Prime 3's Veteran Mode, is about the same difficulty as Prime 2's Normal Mode. So others that are looking for a good difficulty will start on Veteran as well, while those who found Prime 2 to be too hard can start on Normal.

This way everyone will be happy when they first play the game.

It's very enjoyable but I like pacing myself. I played for a little while when I got home, now my parents and sister are all in the den where my Wii is so I don't feel like hijacking the TV and forcing them to watch. I'm doing daily quests in WoW and in an hour or so I'll go back to playing =)

So far I actually like the game more than Prime 1 which I didn't think I would I'm a little after the point where you get the Ice Beam. The boss battles so far have all been really cool (no pun intended) and unique and I look forward to the rest of the fights!.

I still detest the ship design used in the game (exterior) and the PED suit design. Why is it that the Samus essentials always end up looking bad in these new games . . .

Your taste sucks... =3

I just noticed the little "light" in the very top center of the visor changes from green to yellow to red depending on the status of your remote batteries.

Kairon · « **Reply #1212 on:** August 29, 2007, 02:24:01 PM »

This game makes me wonder if Metroid Prime sucked in comparison. The pacing seems so much better here.

Kairon you have no right to comment on MP3 here since you never beat the other two Metroid Prime games!

Kairon · « **Reply #1214 on:** August 29, 2007, 02:54:14 PM »

I watched my brother play and beat them! I... I... I like to live vicariously!

YOU'RE BOTH BANNED

Light Suit is best so far

Meh, come on you can't seriously say the PED suit looks cool and the new ship is better than the old =/

Also the pace is better in this game cause you hit the ground running. Not losing your power ups really helps move things along, you cut out a good portion of the "I'm weak lets find power ups while learning how to play" mechanics.

Yay! I finally have the game. Add me so we can start trading. Bill is in the black on my list, along with a few others.

But I suck so far. I haven't saved a single marine yet. I might start over and try again...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1218 on:** August 29, 2007, 04:50:58 PM »

bustin, you'll be getting my last friend voucher (for now) when I play tomorrow...

(Mashiro, do you Wiinets? I'll want your code...)

bustin98 · « **Reply #1219 on:** August 29, 2007, 05:31:59 PM »

Hopefully I already have a friend voucher from you since you are on my list . . ..? Or could there be a glitch where if someone adds you as a friend then removes you from the list, they still remain on the other user's list? Hmmm.

Also, I need a Mii for you Bill. I will send mine just be sure.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1220 on:** August 29, 2007, 05:35:00 PM »

I do indeed have Wii online, I didn't go into the extra stuff yet, does prime 3 use your systems wii code or it's own like strikers?

bustin98 · « **Reply #1221 on:** August 29, 2007, 05:40:03 PM »

It uses the system's address book. If a friend turns on the WiiConnect feature with Metroid, they will show with their name in black (this is within the game, not the Wii meu). Otherwise they are grey. Then you can select one out of the list to send a token to. You also select a Mii to associate with your save game.

Also, Mashiro, have you published your Wii code yet?

Your name wasn't black on my list when I played this afternoon, I don't think... =O (I'll check tomorrow...)

Mashiro · « **Reply #1223 on:** August 29, 2007, 05:45:00 PM »

I haven't put my Wiicode up on NWR yet. =) tomorrow I'll post it.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1224 on:** August 29, 2007, 07:31:22 PM »

I sent out a couple friend vouchers (not sure how the whole system works yet)
I shot Ridley in the FACE!!
