almost everyone enjoys the first one, the 2nd one is a split opinion, some love it even more than the original but others think it's shit, and the 3rd just doesn't get a lot of discussion either way
definitely worth a try if you enjoy the original though
Currently running through the Trilogy again using primehack + MKB setup. EVERYONE needs to play these fricking games like this, holy shit MKB alone turns the already amazing games into the best shit ever.
The second one is basically the first with minor differences. Autists inflate these differences and so pretend they're vastly different games. The third is a very different beast in a number of ways (multiple planets, companions and conversation rather than alien chat logs, ez mode unlocked from the start etc) but is worth playing if you liked the other two.
>minor differences >different world, areas >dark world parallel dimension >new weapons that spend ammo >cut down on nonsensical backtracking by making a main hub >best suit in the franchise
Prime 2 was an incredible sequel. Frick Sky Temple Keys tho. Original did the key hunt much better.
I'm not sure but was there a way to at least get a hint on where they were? I used a guide for them as the only thing the alien tells you is "look around Dark Aether bro" I think I found like 2 on my own.
They have a system where you need to check dead guys for their names and then look up what place they died. Some of them are just nondescript mothguy corpses.
It's fricking tedious.

Doing the exact route 3 times in a row is not fun nor inmersive nor engaging. It's a time stretching borefest that was only there to extend the duration of the title. Stop defending poor game design.
They're all pretty great. Metroid Prime 1 is the classic, Metroid Prime 2 is darker and more unique compared to other Metroids, and 3 is a Wii motion controlled game that actually works, but is the worst of the three in my opinion.
It's a solid trilogy of games. If you like the first one you'll probably enjoy the other two.
2 is an upgrade to 1 but suffers in key aspects that make it divisive among fans
3 was going to be amazing but got kneecapped from developement due to meddling but that passion shines through in areas
Echoes is hard to describe. It's definitely more difficult thanks to the Dark Aether mechanic and a few notorious bosses. Unfortunately it can be a bit tedious at times. There is a LOT of "forced" backtracking through light/dark versions of the same areas. There's also the limited beam ammo gimmick which is actually pretty irrelevant after a few upgrades, but I'm sure some people get filtered by it.
Corruption is more of a linear, story-driven and action-heavy take on the 3D Metroid concept. Kind of like Fusion compared to Super.
2 is an unpleasant slog through endless black and purple corridors that only gets fun for bosses
3 is an inexplicable departure that may as well be called Halo: Motion Aim Edition.
Replay 1 on Hard, it's better than both of them combined.
>2 is an unpleasant slog
it always had a charm but it felt like the game was always trying to make progress as slow as possible and I first noticed this when getting the keys for agon wastes and having the second dark aether area in the pirate base that connects both dark areas being cut off by a random super missile door forcing you to go out, walk back to the other portal, and then finally you get to fight the boss
so is phazon sentient? Because I thought that in prime 2 the suit that the metroid prime stole got destroy only for dark samus to regenerate back on the pirate homeworld
Echoes is better IMHO. The third one suffered greatly from being on the Wii and relying on gimmicky motion controls, but otherwise is still a great game

HEAVILY agree with Primehack. It's incredible. Makes Prime's basically PC games
Why is primehack so confusing to install
All of them are great

alot of the sky temple keys can easily be grabbed even before the sky temple objective.
still kind of gay how the game has 16 keys to collect
I'm not sure but was there a way to at least get a hint on where they were? I used a guide for them as the only thing the alien tells you is "look around Dark Aether bro" I think I found like 2 on my own.

It's fricking tedious.
you can check the dead guys with red scans along the way or you can just go to the sky temple and each key slot has the hints
yeah but you WILL NOT do that on accident. you need to use dark visor in very random places.
>nonsensical backtracking
When will you people realize that you hate exploring amd immersion
>go to Phendrana

Metroid Prime - The one everyone likes.
Metroid Prime 2 - The one hardcore fans like.
Metroid Prime 3 - The one casuals like.
I personally think all three games are fantastic. Probably the most consistent trilogy in gaming.
turn off the hint system and they all get much better
other than that, i agree with
3 is my favorite, I first played the Trilogy on Wii so I had no nostalgia for GCN Prime and found 3 to be objectively superior in every way.

the ammo concept was such a dumb way to balance the two different beam types
Note that I think all three games are fantastic. I would highly recommend ignoring any strong opinions and giving the entire trilogy a go.
What's Prime 4 going to be about after the Phazon crisis?
prime 2 is fairly... Tricky but the lore and the bosses are just as fun as prime 1
prime 3 is kinda shabby and loses a bit of the soul that the first two had
Prime 3 belongs in the same garbage bin as Other M
it suffers in a lot of ways but it has by far the best music and environments of the trilogy
>best music
nonononono
Prime 1 wins

lel, there's some divisive shit right here
i disagree but whatever, live and let phazon

i'll help

prime 2 is better

PAIN
Are there any cute girls in the Prime trilogy aside from Samus?
Better Samus.
so is phazon sentient? Because I thought that in prime 2 the suit that the metroid prime stole got destroy only for dark samus to regenerate back on the pirate homeworld
hive mind. it eventually takes over whatever's strong enough to survive it's infection
and dark samus is metroid prime i think
>i think
are you actually moronic? are you incapable of reading subtext?
why do you bother playing these games if you're not going to bother scanning shit?
Not really.
what was her problem?
phazon draws out the worst aspect of you once you are poisoned by it, gandrayda is her rivality against samus
Cute no, but Prime 1 looked like a prime grade snu snu varbie until they turned her into anime due to Sakamoto's frickdoll daughter fetish.
Echoes is better IMHO. The third one suffered greatly from being on the Wii and relying on gimmicky motion controls, but otherwise is still a great game
>play primehack
>turbo mode
so much better
what the frick is turbo mode?
disabled frame limiter
Are you me, anon? I'm currently working my way through Prime, just got the spider ball upgrade...
Also using PrimeHack...
