            what do you mean? you literally have to go INTO the room grapple is in to get to power bombs in the first place. you were ALREADY THERE. and you go BACK through that room on the way OUT of the mines. that means you missed seeing the obvious door and power bombable rubble TWO TIMES. how is that anyones fault but yours?

            Because on your first time in that room you should have explored enough to find the debris that you couldn’t destroy without power bombs so on your way back you explore more to get the grapple.

            Honestly the game becomes a lot more fun if you start taking screenshots of things you can't interact with. I did that with a few missile tanks and stuff pretty late to the game. For my next playthrough, I need to use X-ray more often.

        Echoes is more about a Light/Dark world shtick while mainly working in one major area at a time with some odd backtracks, Corruption is a similar deal what with travelling between planets and discovering more LZs for Samus's ship. There is sometimes some backtracking to a previous area for the next powerup.

        The endgame of these games also have an equivalent artifact hunt you may be able to get parts of done on the way.

      This is why people are shitting on Resident Evil 4 remake right now, because morons like you exist and need hand holding. The game gives you a map you look at, which indicators on where you can or can't go that you can check yourself based on which weapons you have as well as a scanning visor to check your environment in any location you want yet you still frick up this badly. You are the cancer that's killing video games as developers cater to your under developed brains

        >because morons like you exist and need hand holding
        No, my complaint was that the 2 new paths that the ice beam opened up do not organically flow into a path back to your main objective, which goes how prime usually handles its backtracking for the most part
        After you beat Thardus, you don't just haul ass back in the direction you came, you use the powerup you just got to take a newly accessible shortcut that lets you quickly backtrack to a previous area to get a new powerup, and thats only one of many times the game does this
        After replaying it via the remaster, I've probably done around 9 total runs? And theres a handful of segments in the game that kill the pacing a bit due to how they handle backtracking.

          the path that takes you to the crashed frigate entrance actually is the fastest way back to magmoor and subsequently phendrana though.

            Is it actually?
            Every time I reach that point in a playthrough, I always open up the map and consider that route vs going back the way I came, and find myself deciding its faster to not go through the crashed frigate
            I would open my game now to compare but I saved after beating the final boss on both my NM and HM runs so I can only use those files to start from scratch

              Yes. the chozo ruins elevator takes you to the start of magmoor. But if you take the elevator back to tallon overworld instead (the one that drops you in front of frigate), you can then take the magmoor elevator thats right there, which takes you very near to the front entrance phendrana elevator, or you can go a little farther and go straight to the back entrance phendrana elevator which is where you need to go anyway

              so after ice beami always do > tallon overworld > magmoor > phendrana

        Wave troopers are the easiest to stunlock because of the wave beam though. Plasma are still the easiest just because they don't have more HP to compensate for the plasma beam's high damage output. Ice troopers got a big buff by no longer being vulnerable to missiles.

          stunlocking doesnt change the fact that they take a billion years to kill because both the wave beam and its beam combo does no fricking damage. plus i can stun ice troopers just fine freezing them and that beam/its combo actually does damage

            That's a quick way to blow all your power bombs. And there's nothing worse in Prime than running out of them when you need to clear an obstacle. I swear this game gets stingy with power bombs to the point where it's faster to go back to the ship and refill instead of waiting for an enemy or crate to give you one.

    A lot of these backtracking issues would be more bearable if killing enemies was actually fun like in Super Metroid, there was something really satisfying about exploding and avoiding enemy attacks in Super, or blitzkrieg right through them with the speed booster that they couldn't translate into the 3D series
    Moving around and exploring in Dread feels so much better

        Its cause theres no challenge or fun to it, but it makes sense when you listen to the dev interviews
        The reason the sand crabs keep going underground is cause the Gamecube literally didn't have enough raw power to render more enemies at a stable FPS
        So are never overwhelmed, and when you are it feels lame cause the shooter mechanics are lame and very basic

        Shit like the spazer/wave beam/shine spark and such in the 2D games allows you to clear out everything in your path instantly so backtracking through rooms with respawned enemies in a non issue.

        Just accept its a 20 year old game, and even the Devs got burnt out with the Prime cause they wanted more tech so they could turn Metroid into a better game. Feeling gimped and creatively limited by Tendis overzealous watch and GameCub/Wii (Almost same performance) was a drag for the team

    [...]

    Originally, the devs intended for Samus to become corrupt if she overused the Hyper Beam. This addded an element of ''Shit, I could really use that sweet power up to decimate these fricking enemies right now'' but that powerlust would be payed by forcing you into a fully playable, alternative ending where instead of fighting Dark Samus, you would team up with her to kill a New Galactic Federation.
    Upon realization, the Galactic Federation would green-lit their secret research project as a line of last defense.
    Cyborg based off the salvaged parts of Samus Original Suit before it got destroyed by Dark Samus in the intro.
    Adding just that piece of art and poetry into it, where Samus didn't just turn evil, but she killing her own old suit, and all she stood for.

    Sadly, this idea was cut out by Nintendo cause the idea of Samus ever being evil or players having consequences for their actions beyond a little ''death screen'' made Nintendo's low Testosterone overseers squirm like little homosexuals

If Metroid Prime 4 was just more "the first person adventures of Samus Aran, some bounty hunters, and the space pirates" again with a different mcguffin mechanic/plot device, I'd be happy with that.

      Contrarians. Prime 2 at launch on Gamecube was a mess. The dark world/light world mechanic was tedious, the aesthetics were drab, and the game had a literal casual filter difficulty spike that didn't get nerfed until the Wii re-release.

      They made the game easier with the Trilogy collection but not sure if it's just gays who never played the gamecube version or what that praise it.

        I didn't say they're too hard moron, I said I dont want to dance around them to kill them especially when you dont have space jump yet. this game is just tedious. also it should go without saying that super metroid is better but so is something like metroid dread.

          Use the dodge jump and press the fire + missile buttons quickly one after the other, you pathetic waste of skin. Baby Sheegoths are pathetic and you're forced to fight them a grand total of once.

    Remember, asking if a game is good or not from Ganker is almost always the worst opinion you can grab. The place is filled with shitposters who simply shit on games just to bait or be contrarian.
    Do your own research. Read both negative and positive reviews.
    Never trust Ganker on ANYTHING.

      Prime 2 is just right until Retro spites their own face forcing you to rip all the way back to Torvus undertemple right after you start exploring the wicked ass robot fortress.

    i like metroid prime

    zooming around in the boost ball is so fun

    why did you frickers lie to me and say the atmosphere and the backtracking ruin it, it's so fun to
    >boost ball to door
    >bomb door
    >unmorph, l-target everything and blast it to shit
    >morph ball and zoom through
    every single room over and over

    anyone who doesn't enjoy this game has no soul, it's so fun and the music is so good

      I can get the backtracking being annoying and a game breaker for some not willing to put up with it, but anyone who shittalks Prime's atmosphere is just a shitter who's never touched the game and probably saw a trailer to form their opinion or shits on the remaster by parroting the same 2 arguments everyone else says.

      Prime's atmosphere the best in the entire franchise (with 2 sharing that title because they're basically the same game but better) and it's not even close. First person is a more immersive medium than third person.

      I've got a physical copy of it. I've only played it a couple of times but it's really fun. It's kinda hilarious how the fanbase generally actually really likes MPP but collectively shits on Other M and Federation Force. And rightfully so.

    Phazon Mines is definitely the hardest part of the game but honestly even on Hard mode, it's not THAT bad either.

    As for you getting lost, that's your own fault for not exploring some more. Git gud, scrub.

                They could have used both those and the new designs as different species of Pirate. Their lore states that the Pirates are composed of many different species, including the Kihunters.

    Metroid Prime is an annoying ass game that makes navigating slow as shit and has too many scans, visors, and beams. Just getting around and moving as Samus fricking sucks, and the amount of things she can do only makes every encounter a beam swapping, morph ball changing, scan checking laundry list of shit that doesn't actually make the game more fun. Going through one beam door only to require another color beam to open a following door in that room is fricking obnoxious design.

    2D Metroid has shit like this but it's considerably faster and doesn't waste your time constantly the way Prime does. People suck this game's dick, people get on their knees and crave the wiener of Prime, I've never seen so many people adamantly love this game like it's the coolest shit ever but it just blows ass and has shitty slow controls and horrible backtracking.

            Walking halfway across the map to """""solve""""" a puzzle with an item you get 3 hours later isn't thinking, it's just an exercise in tedium. I'm fine with it being used for extra rewards and things that enhance abilities you already have. Ironically, Metroid Dread does this to great effect (even if it's a bit heavy handed with 1-way lockdowns to the point where even a complete noob to the franchise could tell they were being "guided").
