Find a flaw.
Comedically tiny disk.
>>339079501
you placed the disc down the the wrong side
It was never remastered.
Nintendo abandoned cartridges.
>putting your disc on a scratchy wood surface
shiggy
Those tiny little fuckers could take hell and still work perfectly, durable as shit.
>>339079606
I always liked the mini-disk. It made carrying your games around in a pouch simple as fuck.
You can't use it in Bongland
Too many scratches on that wood
>>339079501
The whole is too small for my dick.
The sequel was better.
It's not in its proper case.
>>339079501
Literally can't. That game is in my top five of all time
>>339079501
Slow, backtracking for artifacts, mediocre platforming at best, combat is mostly lock on + strafe
That wooden table is FUCKED
Fod Fucking damn say what you will about metroid prime but it definitely was a good transition from 2d to 3d at the time. And how surprising other M was considering it was from the samw dude who made the best well known metroid game.
>>339079501
The series was in its prime during that game.
>>339079501
It has a sequel.
There's a hole in the middle.
>>339079501
Your desk is shit.
I liked the dark atmosphere of Echos more.
no mouse support
missing scans was a thing if you have autism
scanning should not be necessary to fight things
its sequels were still good, but obvious declines in quality
>>339079789
>slow
>mediocre platforming
We're not talking about Super Metroid here
>>339079789
Pretty much the same problems I had with the game. I got bored of it right before the ridley fight.
WHERE'S THE FUCKING BOX YOU MONG CUNT
>>339079667
>he never played it on an emulator
>>339079501
PUT IT BACK IN THE CASE!
>fps
>auto aim mechanic
Its shit. Console centered FPS are all shit and this one is no exception even if it has a lot of other good design elements the core gameplay is trash.
Scan icons were hard to spot sometimes, thankfully they fixed that in the sequel by highlighting the entire object instead.
>>339079501
i... i like big disks OP-sama
>>339079501
I prefer 2d metroids, but that's not really a flaw and prime was still fun.
>>339080136
>metroid prime
>an fps
nigga
>>339079501
Morphballs don't have giant holes in the middle of them.
>>339080023
>in an alien world where you have magic bird technology that can tell you weakness and critical information in mere seconds about dangerous creatures trying to kill you
>you don't use it because it pauses the game for a few seconds
alright.
Om another note, I wish Nintendo would hand the IP off to a competent team who could make a game around cataloging flora and fauna of new planets as a federation scientist.
>>339080275
he's just saying that we've reached a point in game design where the way you interact with a game matters
there are obviously right and wrong way to do it
pressing 2-4 buttons at once just to shoot at something, when all you're really doing is just firing a plasma bolt at their torso while walking sideways, is a shit way of interacting with enemies
>>339080436
Well it's not really Retro's fault Nintendo refuse to design a rational controller.
They worked with what they had and it came out great.
Plus the controls are pretty fluid after you get used to them.
The fact that Halo came out a year earlier and standardized console shooters having a separate stick for camera control. The game's mechanics were simpler than Zelda's until the Trilogy re-release
>>339080764
>standardized console shooters having a separate stick for camera control
Aliens resurrection on the psx did that before Halo.
>>339080436
>>339080136
>playing the game as if it were an fps
when i was a dumb teenager i was as stupid as you faggots, but replaying it recently i realized it's a masterpiece in game design. you literally press a button to lock onto enemies, but the fun comes from exploring a 3d metroid experience that has difficult but fair bosses.
>>339079501
laying it down like that
>>339079501
i cant read the text under "metroid"
>>339080560
>Well it's not really Retro's fault Nintendo refuse to design a rational controller.
But the gamecuble controller is exactly the same as an xbox controller, minus one bumper and a different facebutton layout.
>triggers
>four facebuttons
>left stick, right stick
>d-pad
>>339079501
doesn't have the rounded edges of the wiiu discs
>>339079707
My thoughts exactly,
Wtf op, are you a mongoloid?
>>339082878
We both know the gamecube c-stick is not a valid second analog.
Sure they could have gave it the camera, moved the map to start somehow and made z the beam switcher with holding it plus the left analog.
But I think what we got was best.
>no full right analog
>small as fuck d-pad
>awkwardly sized face buttons
>>339079667
Wasn't the prime trilogy collection a remaster or was it just with corruption wiimote controls?
>>339083746
It had worse graphics than the originals
morph balling through narrow guardless platforms
>>339079894
The gameover screens were traumatizing
The backside of your disc is gonna have tons of flaws if you lay it down like that a lot.
- health in lower left corner in full amount (Ex.342/500) - missiles and power bombs in lower right corner (Ex.15/35 - 2/5) - 2D Minimap in upper right corner
- circle pale blue reticle when nothing in sight, orange when something scannable, red when something needing activation
- scanning is not a view mode but a direct action - scanning is instantaneous
- toggle between rapid fire and charged - holding shoot button continuously fire
- map is 2D by default and always facing north, default settings can be changed
- map shows powerups when discovered and if applicable, power required to obtain
- standard FPS controls, left stick move, right stick look, reticle always in center
>I write down everything that I would change in a game whenever I play one, I'm just autistic like that
>>339087668
Are you the same person who mentoined having a .txt in the xbx thread?
>>339087873
no, never played xbox
Am I the only one who thinks the Metroid Prime series is on of the only series improved by motion controls?
>>339087986
was meant to be Xenoblade x, although wouldn't the power-up applicable be a spoiler saying you're getting space jump boots, or a plasma beam etc. I suppose they could have require ??? if you don't have it yet
>>339088170
Warioware managed to do motion controls well too, I also kinda like what XBC, RD, and Brawl did by not using them
>>339084272
No, they were better EXCEPT that the visor effects were missing, which is a damn shame because they were one of the best little touches.
I really wish there was some way to play it with a mouse without sacrificing the visor effects.
>>339079789
>backtracking
It's a fucking Metroid game. The artifacts were supposed to encourage you to go exploring for power ups.
>>339088194
nope, never played xenoblade either and anyways I rarely post on /v/
there would be an interrogation mark by default and once you get the ability, the icon would change
What sack of shit would disrespect a video game disc by putting face up on ANY surface. Kill yourself OP, you're a disgrace to Metroid.
>>339080023
2 was better than 1 in terms of gameplay. Of course you can't beat the atmosphere of 1, but 2 really benefited from the extra dev time.
>>339088692
>2
>extra dev time
I thought 2 was hurried out within 10 months of 1
it was fun locking onto things to scan them even with a gc controller
This game bored me after 15 minutes. Never played it or its sequels after that and I love the 2d metroids.
>>339086475
silence, borb.
>>339090704
> probably didn't even get passed the tutorial level
>lol this game is shit
>>339086184
HURRY UP AND CONTINUE BITCH
HURRY UP
FUCK YOU MISSION FAILURE BITCH
>>339079501
YOU LEFT IT FACE DOWN ON A WOODEN TABLE YOU SHIT
>>339079894
They really did everything to make metroid Prime feel futuristic.
>>339080436
The circle strafing gameplay played just fine in my opinion.
>>339079501
it's a shit game on a shit console
>>339079501
people actually think this game is flawless? is it just nostalgia?
>>339090857
Do not bully the borb.
>>339079501
Chozo Keys, but even then they're not much of a flaw since you can start collecting most of them the moment you reach the area that contains them.
I guess the loading times were pretty inconsistant as some rooms would load instantly, but then you come back, and open the same room and it would take like 10+ seconds. But it was Retro's first released game so I'll let it slide.
Metroid Prime's flaws are very minor at best.
The only way to play it on a modern console is wii waggling bullshit
>>339079501
That disc isn't square, it'd hold more data if it was
>>339092550
> not modding the wii emulator on the wii u to play gamecube games.
>>339079501
>Rain drops on her visor
>Reflection of her face when there's an explosion
>Sway to her movements
Not even a woman and still 11/10 immersion
>>339088294
How did smooth moves manage to be the best wii exclsuive for so long?
>>339079501
It's boring, slow, and the artifact hunt kills the flow of the game.
>>339079723
wat
Yes I can
>>339079501
The disk is face-up and the data side is touching a wooden surface. What's the big idea? Do you want to get that thing scratched up?
>>339079501
The very last boss. The last time I played it was a while back, but I distinctly remember the last stage being a bitch due to having fucking infinite minions (which is something I always despise in bosses that are already capable of fighting on their own) combined with the visor/weapon-switching (which would have been fine, without the minions, who also require weapon-switching).
I know a lot of the combat is based on beam weaknesses after you reach the phazon mines, but forcing it down your throat at all possible moments can get tiring.
>>339092550
Why not use a GC controller on the Wii, genius
>>339079501
there's a hole in the middle.
>>339095374
How else are you gonna have sex with it silly head?
