Quote:Metroid Prime. As I've said, haven't got anywhere near finishing that one. Where I am in the game I only have the scan visor... though I think I get another one soon, not sure. The last powerup I got was the Boost Ball, to roll on the halfpipes... but after getting that you need to go all the way back through Magmoor Caverns, which is tough. I keep dying while trying to get through that area... took me a while to go through one way and now I need to go back from the ice area. Oh well...
You've barely gotten anywhere in that game.
Quote:As for that game and hidden stuff, its different. Now, I don't know how many missile upgrades there are to find in the game, but where I am I have like 30 missiles... not many. I got far more by that point in Fusion, I believe... either they're hidden better or I don't know how to find things in the game.
I found all of Fusion's stuff in less than 7 hours. It took well over three times that long to find everything in MP. It's definitely harder to find stuff since you're dealing with more than just two dimensions.
Quote:Prime's a great game... just hard. I die several times in an area then don't play it for quite a while before going back...
I found Prime to have a perfect difficultly; not too hard, not too easy. Fusion on the other hand was much more of a challenge because of some of those insane bosses.
Quote:Fusion is easier, but the frusterating parts are probably more frusterating... so far in Prime I haven't had to just blindly shoot at walls -- there has been indications of where to go next and once there some clues about how to progress. The annoying parts of Fusion didn't have any clues... it'd be fine if they had even obtuse hints about where the hidden tiles (ones that require a certain weapon to destroy, or a certain ability, etc), but it doesn't have that! Annoying!
What??! The two games have the exact same kinds of walls!! If it requires a simple blaster shot then that's all it will take! If it takes a bomb then you'll see a bomb icon! If it takes a missile then you'll see a missile icon! THEY'RE THE EXACT SAME IN THAT REGARD!! If you take off the crappy cheating hint system from Metroid Prime then you'll get lost MUCH more often than you did in Fusion. Fusion is very linear while Prime is not. Seriously, judging by your very ignorant comments I find it hard to believe that you played either game for more than two minutes each.
Quote:Of course you'll probably misinterpret what I said again. Oh well.
I didn't misinterpret anything. You hate games that don't hold your hand the entire way! Games that require exploration! Tell me how I'm wrong.
