Your opinion on Metroid Fusion.
>>337596178
same as every metroid
into the trash
Just finished minutes ago,
to much hand holding for my taste
If you took the map design from zero mission and the controls from this you'd have a great metroid game.
Perfect Metroid game, not like that linear garbage Other M that basically rewrote Samus into something she isn't and shoehorned in pointless new characters and enemies that added nothing to the story.
>>337596471
why the controls? zero mission is tighter and more responsive while super has more freedom, fusion's kind of in the middle only with the least freedom
Great game like every 2D Metroid.
Has a couple of issues like the game telling you where to go and locking some areas off via arbitrary locks rather than abilities. Also the sound is complete ass, it's partially because the GBA soundchip is shitty but Zero Mission sounds much better.
The story bits are OK and kept to a minimum.
Problem is in retrospect, a lot of the biggest issues with Other M started here. Some people/v/are unable to reconcile in their heads that a bad idea could be anything but awful because in their minds everything is either great or shit, but the truth is the issues that were carried over to Other M were not nearly as extreme in Fusion and didn't taint the experience too much.
It doesn't surpass Super, and Prime was a much better sequel to that game, but like most Nintendo games developed by their A-teams, even the ones that are relatively bad are still better than most other games.
>>337596178
it may be the easiest but its still fun
i give it 8.5/10
super, prime1, and zero were all better
>>337596605
ZM controls like a brick and fucked up walljumps (shut up I can still do them but you have to go at a wall like "i'm going to wall jump this bitch" instead of being able to just improptu walljump around like super) I mean it's okay but fusion controls better. The only thing ZM did better is power bomb jumps (diagonal bomb jumps are so cash in that game). I agree that Super is boss as shit but as far as GBA metroids go I'd rather put up with Adam's shit than do that stealth sequence with fucked up controls.
Really good
People only started whining about the story when other M did it horribly, but it's fine here because Samus isn't a little bitch and she flat out defies orders and such, plus it's only in tiny talks with the computer at the start of each sector.
People also talk about handholding but it only says the general place to go, you still need to explore and find secrets and do your own thing.
It's also got the tightest controls of all the games and it's the hardest 2D metroid though that isn't saying much.
Really it's a very good game that gets lots of hate by metroidfags who can't separate other Ms issues from this game and realize that they were done well in fusion and not in other M.
-Good game first playthrough.
-Aggravating replay value due to forced dia-,I mean monolog
-Very interesting bosses,probably the best of all metroids.
-Linear,but not necessarily a flaw.
-Powerups are mediocre.
-Controls are finger porn
-Difficulty depends on your knowledge of pickups,which Is a pretty shitty design choice.
My thoughts all tangled up,feel free to argue.

>I was not yet allowed to use the internet when Fusion came out
>>337596178
Not as good as Super Metroid. Focused on Story, Linear pathways and Dark Samus, a ridley clone. They add ledge climbing, and I like the fusion suit in this series.
I can understand a company wanting to go further into story to freshen things, but there's way to much if it in the game to deviate from the gameplay. Not my favourite Metroid, but still enjoyable nevertheless.
>>337596178
>primefags are the worst
>fusion sucks
you just can't win with some of the more autistic metroid fans, thanks for giving us federation force
>>337597201
Not that guy, but I was 13 when it came out and I have pretty much the same view. Only Super and ZM are better in my eyes. They're the quintessential Metroid games that Nintendo should be emulating for future titles, if they were to ever happen.
>>337597510
Since you proceeded to have a smut related picture,might as well bring up that ZSS Is a shit concept that should be killed. I don't want waifu faggotry to ruin the game's image.
You might tell me It's too late,In which I can only agree,but It's never too late to stop being a slut and become a respectable woman of society.
>>337597510
Doesn't change the fact that Fusion caused a shitstorm for being so linear with barely any exploration and zero sequence breaking, and focusing on Adam's monologues and forced chase sequences instead. Which we now have all over again as if it's something new and unprecedented.
>>337597920
I don't think it's too much of a big deal so long as the better Metroid content stays where it is. I liked the portions in ZM where you lost your suit, it wasn't made to be very fan-servicey but if it were I wouldn't have rightly cared very much.
>>337597924
It didn't really cause a shitstorm. I'd agree on there being less exploration, but while it was tighter and more narrative-driven it was still the same Metroid gameplay that I'd grown up with.
I dunno man, maybe you just have really high standards. I have never met another person before you that didn't like it. You might be able to extrapolate some gameplay elements that were brought to a head in later installments, but I think it's silly to blame this game for others' mistakes.
>>337598450
I'm not even invested into Metroid. All I'm saying is that people were furious about Fusion.
I'd love a skip cutscene button, even though I thought the story was good.
Too linear.
Intense atmosphere, between the level designs and the music perhaps the best in Metroid.
SA-X encounters are terrifying.
Best bosses in the series.
I give it an 8.5 out of 10.
It's my favorite one.
Suck it, super metroid fans.
In Metroid: Fusion, you play as the heroine you are familiar with, but with a twist: her DNA has been fused with the aliens that she became legendary for hunting. She is present at a large biological research space station when disaster strikes, and she once again finds herself battling alien parasites. She discovers that a giant, shady organization is behind the infestation, and that they want to capture and control the parasites at any cost, but the protagonist knows that they are a deadly force beyond controlling. After killing a clone of herself, she destroys the space station and all of the aliens aboard it by directing it into a nearby planet, but not after killing a giant alien with the help of some friends she made.
>>337596178
I absolutely hate the fusion suit. The idea that a space station could destroy an entire planet is retarded.
It references Alien 4, the worst alien film in the franchise.
>>337600931
Does it even say destroy the planet?
Because the BSL is a gigantic hollowed out asteroid filled with self destruct explosives.
At the very least sending it flying into the planet at full speed with the explosives it has would certainly cause an extinction level event.
>>337599789
>"Resurrection rocks!"
It should be legal to kill people with poor evaluative abilities
>>337601484
It doesn't say it outright, but the ending and everything leading up to it seems to indicate that it does.
worth playing, not worth playing again
you either love metroid or you don't
and if you love metroid you know that interrupting the player with a 'plot' is not how this game works
>>337601568
in spite of what dragon ball teaches us, and the nuclear age propaganda, blowing up a planet would be really, really difficult
we are not capable of doing it with the technology we posses now
>>337597418
who said anything about Metroid Prime?
oh right, you're the butthurt faggot from the last thread that can't accept Other M is more shit than a mediocre spinoff and the second weakest 2D Metroid.
>>337598846
i hate how Fusion is literally has an open as fuck post-game when for the entire game you have to do a bunch of pitstops and have A.D.A.M. give you the exact location to tackle at next.
also
>Japan-exclusive Hard Mode
>>337601484
It's not enough to completely eradicate a planet, even sakamoto admitted it was a dumb idea. But at the time they were literally trying to kill metroid by providing an ending to it, despite having prime in development.
>>337596178
Metroid Zero Mission>Super Metroid>Metroid Fusion>All other metroid games
>>337601698
Metroid itself teaches us that blowing up a planet is as easy as having Samus hang around anywhere near it.
>>337601731
>>Japan-exclusive Hard Mode
there was a Hard Mode in fusion?
All video games are objectively bad so who the fuck cares?
>>337601698
Keep in mind that in the end of Super they were able to destroy all of Zebes.
>>337601731
That rating makes sense. Pinball never had illusions of being anything other than solid pinball game, while Other M was supposed to be the big coming of Metroid by awesome studio, with original creator of series at helm.
Instead it ended up being Sakamoto going batshit at the series.
Fusion is my favorite Metroid.
I think all the bosses (except for, like, "large ball thing") are super memorable. I think the art direction is really commendable for making really unique-feeling areas of what amounts to a giant floating piece of metal. I think the music is superb, and the atmosphere incredible. Ever time you started to feel powerful, the SA-X put you in your place. And the few times you were "safe" from it for the time being, you had another creature stalking you, like Nightmare, or the B.O.X. Security Robot. Plus, it just fucked with you, like having Ridley just disappear, having the SA-X steal your items or block your path, and giving you your classic Metroid escape sequence out of nowhere, way earlier than expected, because Sector 3 was about to explode. I'm not going to sit here and say the story was deep or anything, but it gave enough of a safety net for it to make an impact when you realized that you couldn't trust your only ally on the entire station anymore.
I understand it has less sequence breaks than Super, and for the players that care about that, I'm sorry you didn't get what you wanted. But I rarely do that stuff intentionally anyway, so maybe that's why I can love it as much as I do.

/v/ - Video Games
Personally, this is how I think a story driven Metroid game should be done. Having all the dialog and monologue be text only classic RPG style it allows the character of Samus to really shine. We all shit on Other M for making her a bitch and having a winey voice, having the story told exclusively through text compleatly negates this. Also I think Samus as a character worms best when most if her dialog is internal and what she thinks of the situation, deducing things herself.
>>337601935
Only in the Japanese version that came like 8 months later.
>>337601935
Sakamoto decided based on Super Mario Club's feedback that the game should have an optional hard difficulty, but at that point it was too late to implement it in the NA/PAL versions.
The Japanese version came out last, so they put in hard and easy mode at the last minute. Other regions only got Japanese normal mode.
It was my first Metroid game and I loved it a the time. However after playing Super, Prime etc. I'm not sure how well it'd hold up in comparison. I need to play through it again one of these days.

This guy has pretty good taste.

Good, minus the entire ADAM shit.
>>337602207
It's like Mega Man 2 but backwards!
I recall Super Metroid shipped with the English/Japanese language option in NA, did NA Metroid Fusion have that option too or am I remembering wrong?
>>337602458
NA fusion only had English.
>>337602127
honestly think Sakamoto and Tanabe are just malfunctioning devs at the moment, they still have a bit of sanity in them.
hoping Takahashi give them the slap and get them back to their senses on both Metroid styles.

>>337602063
The reason zebes is acceptable is because it's not only implied the planet is basically incredibly porous, but that it had technology running all through out it directly linked to motherbrain.
Assuming chozo utilized some sort of nuclear power or other potentially destructive power source, a chain detonation every several piles all the way to the core of a fragile pumice like planet could cause to be completely eradicated.
>>337603378
There's a lot of assuming going on there.
>>337596178
the bosses in this game really kicked my ass, especially that spider
>>337604183
>they named the spider boss after super criminal organization residing at Japan
>>337604183
Hint: you can wiggle out of Yakuza's grabs
>Probably the best action in the whole 2D series with good bosses and good controls
>Atmosphere is great. Shit gets spooky
>The moments when you go off the grid and enter the uncharted areas are awesome
>Fucked up the world design that made the series so memorable
>Dumb ass plot with a hackneyed "the government is evil!!" twist
>Generally too much handholding
Overall, out of every 2D Metroid game, I'd put it square in the middle. Doesn't live up to Super and got edged out by Zero Mission but it's definitely not a bad game. What it does well it does very well, it's just unfortunate about the things it got wrong. It reminds me of Prime 3 in a lot of ways, they both had a lot of similar pros and cons.
>>337604445
oh i beat it sonehow
i spent 80% of the fight curled up in a ball though
until it started jumping around
fuck even B.O.X. was reeeally specofic with its hitbox, you had to hit it dead center
this game doesn't fuck around, even the regular enemies were a nuisance
Worst 2D, but still a good game.
>>337603797
The game does say that Motherbrain is attached to all of zebes systems, and very little of the map in super shows a lack of technological integration.
There is also the mystery as to how motherbrain killed off the chozo and having an AI run everything would make the sort of easy.
>>337601484
Asteroids are only deadly because of how fast they go and this one was just in orbit and pushed into the planet's gravity well by thrusters so I doubt it was going that fast.
fantastic metroid game. Its blatantly linear and locks you out of backtracking to other areas in stupid ways, but the atmosphere is top notch and it has great bosses.
9/10
I like Samus's run and jump animations in this game better than in Zero Mission. Also fuck the classics, I think walljumping up the same wall is stupid.
>>337607714
It's stupid but it makes for better gameplay.
Honestly i don't think anyone would have complained about "too much story" if nintendo didn't fucked up the world making it feel too small.
>>337608525
The problem with a linear story is it fucks with sequence breaking.
it was pretty scary
Best 2d Metroid.
Doesn't control like ass like Super does and has a much more interesting world and atmosphere when compared to Zero.
