6/7/2023 0 Comments Metroid prime corruptions![]() I recently went back to play Metroid Prime 3 a few months ago. However, if you are a fan of this game and think I should keep playing - please tell me why. I've pretty much given up on it because it has destroyed the main thing that made me love the first Metroid Prime - the atmosphere. The novelty was lost on me, and this is shaping up to be a horrible game. However, I bought the trilogy set for the Wii and re-played through the first 2 with wii controls. I dont know how this game has a metacritic score of 90, probably due to the novelty of a FPS with wii controls. As you can tell I'm a little upset because I absolutely love this IP and I can't believe they fucked it up so horribly. And then the MEta Ridley fight from 3 is an on-rails shooter challenge that is basically "see you fast you can press A". The Meta-Ridley fight from Metroid Prime 1 is one of my favorite boss battles of all time, it requires you to memorize a set of varied moves and the tells she gives before performing them, it requires you to be able to dodge all of these moves effectively, the boss is unrelentingly attacking you, her hitbox is small, and its a true test of skill that is absolutely fair and challenging. And here is what might be the ultimate and most unforgivable crime of the first 2 hours of Metroid Prime 3: they put in a Meta-Ridley fight and its a dramatic. Oh yeah, and once you get to Bryyo things get even better because you get some Navi-esque "helper" that will probably jabber in your ear every 5 seconds telling you what to do and making sure that you don't actually get to explore anything on your own. There was a cutscene every other room that I entered, and probably more dialogue in the first half hour than there was in all of Metroid Prime. Rather than serenity, they try and throw in an explosion every 5 seconds which would be almost excusable if the sound-mastering wasn't so godawful (the explosions that are supposed to put you on the edge of your seat are quieter than opening a door). Metroid Prime 3 is some fucking Michael Bay action movie with cringe-worthy dialogue and 1-dimensional, cheesy characters. The story is told nontraditionally, much of the plot being optionally accessed through panels left by the ancient civilization and by reading the computer logs of your enemies. The calming atmosphere provides contrast to the tense moments of battle and emotional crescendos as you infiltrate enemy bases that have been erected on the planet. Metroid Prime was a serene and beautiful game where you explore the ruins of a lost society of superior beings. Here are my first impressions: Metroid Prime 3 takes everything that was wonderful and special about Metroid Prime and shits all over it. The old /r/patientgamers Essential Games ListĪlright, so I've only played through what I assume is the intro (probably about 2 hours long, for those of you familiar with the game what I mean is everything prior to being sent to Bryyo) Please use flair to display what games you’re currently playing, not a punch line, username, tag, URL, or signature.
