What happened to Hunters?

UncleBob · « **Reply #302 on:** July 02, 2010, 11:37:52 AM »

I *knew* I forgot one when I was resetting the poll.

Tiebreakers suck guys - don't make it happen again.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #303 on:** July 02, 2010, 03:28:50 PM »

I haven't played Metroid Prime Pinball. Of the remaining games, I will go with Metroid Fusion.

Mop it up · « **Reply #304 on:** July 03, 2010, 06:45:04 PM »

Time to vote Fusion. I don't really like Metroid or Metroid II, and I haven't played the other two games.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #305 on:** July 04, 2010, 08:34:12 PM »

Fusion got first by a wide margin.

Stratos · « **Reply #306 on:** July 04, 2010, 09:25:54 PM »

About time. Now to vote for Metroid 2 since that is the last one I have played (besides Hunters, which I will never vote for since I dislike it so much).

The four options left are not surprising.
Everyone hates the original Metroid.
Everyone hates Hunters.
No one considers Pinball a Metroid game (although it's super-fun).

I funny expect Return of Samus to (finally) win.
I'd guess Pinball next.
Interested in seeing which wins between Hunters and the original.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #310 on:** July 06, 2010, 07:51:27 PM »

The only one left I have played is Metroid (although I did play the Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo). I heard Metroid Prime Pinball is really fun.

Mop it up · « **Reply #311 on:** July 06, 2010, 08:33:32 PM »

I haven't played the two DS ones. Both Metroid and Metroid II have aged terribly, but I'll vote for Metroid since it at least has colour.

Guitar Smasher · « **Reply #312 on:** July 06, 2010, 09:23:02 PM »

It's interesting how someone can say that "everyone hates the original Metroid", when if that were the case then all the sequels would not have been made. I understand that many people feel it hasn't aged well, but I for one appreciate the difficulty of the game.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #313 on:** July 06, 2010, 09:26:28 PM »

I think that is what he meant, everyone hates it NOW because it has aged terribly. I am sure it was well received at the time (I was 11 months old when it came out), but I would not recommend it to anyone now.

Mop it up · « **Reply #314 on:** July 06, 2010, 10:03:36 PM »

I certainly wouldn't deny that Metroid was a revolutionary game. A game of that size and scope was practically unheard of at the time, plus it was the first game to use passwords. It was also one of the first games to star a female, even if it was intended to be a joke.

These days, the difficulty in the game feels artificial. Having to start at 30 energy every time and fill it back up is just tedious. A lack of a map makes backtracking confusing, especially because a lot of areas look the same. There's no explanation for the items you pick up, so you have to figure them out on your own (I had no idea what the boots item did, so I had to look it up on the Internet before I could continue).

Peachylala · « **Reply #315 on:** July 07, 2010, 01:05:32 AM »

I agree that both Metroid 1 and 2 are not good games. They are not terrible, just very flawed.

But Metroid 2 had those awesome Metroid designs and the Spider Ball. And that gave birth to the awesome Spider Ball in Metroid Prime, so... yeah.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #316 on:** July 07, 2010, 08:20:39 AM »

At this point I am voting for the black sheep Metroid Pinball.

Sure it is a strange spinoff game. But the original Metroid game is just bad. Hunters is alright, but not really a Metroid game, and isn't fun. So Metroid Pinball is fun...and zany.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #317 on:** July 07, 2010, 01:30:56 PM »

I voted for Hunters because, although it's Metroid in name only, it's a better game than any other remaining choice.

broodwars · « **Reply #318 on:** July 07, 2010, 01:34:40 PM »

Going with the Pinball. It's IMO more of a Metroid game than Hunters was, and it's actually a competent game compared to the remaining games on this list.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #319 on:** July 08, 2010, 11:10:45 PM »

Wow Pinball beat Return of Samus by a narrow margin.

Stratos · « **Reply #320 on:** July 08, 2010, 11:12:57 PM »

This reminds me that I want a pinball game. I was leaning towards either Alien Crush Returns on WiiWare or one of the Pokemon ones. I might consider this instead.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #321 on:** July 08, 2010, 11:16:21 PM »

Not surprisingly, I was the only one to vote for Hunters. I stand by my decision; it's a very good multiplayer shooter. "Very good" isn't a descriptor I'd use in reference to the original or Metroid II, and, while I'd use it for Pinball, pinball is, in my opinion, an inferior genre to shooters. I'll definitely be voting for Hunters again.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #322 on:** July 11, 2010, 11:35:04 PM »

Are we going to see who wins the next poll UncleBob?

UncleBob · « **Reply #323 on:** July 11, 2010, 11:42:23 PM »

I really should do a better job keeping up with this...
