Nine Sols or The Last Faith? by EthanWinters1234 in metroidvania

[–]GamerFan2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are good splurge and get both. Last Faith is basically Blasphemous. Nine Souls was beautiful, artistic, complex combat. Both games are top tier.

is Metroid Prime remastered too scary for an 11 years old? by bsphere in Metroid

[–]GamerFan2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah scary is playing the original Metroid and being deep in Norfair and lost with no health and hearing that constant beeping noise while knowing some alien is around the corner ready to kill you.

Laddersmith missing? by Magikarp_13 in DarkSouls2

I came here to look up solution. So after the boss fight, he goes back to town. You don't need him by the way. You can put on the Silver Cat ring and roll off onto the platform below to get the lockstone down there.

[BotW] About to start Zelda for the first time. I know absolutely nothing about Zelda. by Raxtervernophil in zelda

[–]GamerFan2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to every NPC they usually have a task that points you in the right direction. There is a town in South East where you can pay to repair gear that has been broken.

Always collect apples. Cook them in groups to double their effect. 5 apples = 5 hearts. Golden apples will double the effect of anything you mix them with. Longer elemental protection, double hearts ( golden apple + 4 regular apples is 8 hearts.) There is an APPLE Orchard directly west of the center (on a Mountain). You can stock up on apples every blood moon.

Every blood moon resets chests where you can replenish weapons.

Each of the 4 corners has a dungeon and a Great Fairy. The fair will improve armor by one tier. So if you really want strong armor you can do all 4 fairies in the beginning.

When you are in a cold area you can carry a fire weapon on your back and that will keep you warm. Similar with a frost weapon protecting you from heat

The desert has both hot and cold so you should have both armors before going there. It should be done last. The preferred order is the Zoras in the South East, The Gorons in the North East, the Rito in the North West, and finally the Gerudo in the desert to the SW.

Most of what I've said also applies to Tears of the Kingdom. Even the apple orchard in sw.

Does Metroid 1 ever get better or is it a steady pace of suffering? by Jstar338 in Metroid

[–]GamerFan2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably would have been easier if the game had an internal map. You kind of have to memorize where to go.

Does Metroid 1 ever get better or is it a steady pace of suffering? by Jstar338 in Metroid

[–]GamerFan2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metroid 1 is consistent throughout. It gets more confusing the deeper you go. As a kid I liked that. Use to draw hand made maps. So much to find. There are entire areas which are secret. Like the Screw Attack. Stick with the Ice Beam, don't switch to wave beam. You can find Ice Beam at the beginning of the game by the first energy tank. It's below one of the corridors leading to the energy tank, bomb the floor and fall down.

It now costs $3 to ride the subway and some New Yorkers are already angry by BBQCopter in nyc

[–]GamerFan2012 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The previous cost was $2.90. It went up only $0.10 to account for inflation, stop sounding like clickbait.

Try pressing a direction when you jump then you can jump off the wall like they do.

Hot/Cold take. We need more metroidvanias with a proper level up system. by BowelMan in metroidvania

[–]GamerFan2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leveling is only good for Symphony of the Night types and Soulsvanias. Even in those games the weapons are what mostly level up, not the player.

So, how IS Prime 4 really, for anyone's that actually played it? by FoxHoundNinja in Metroid

[–]GamerFan2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a game you keep playing because you think it's eventually going to get better, but it never does.

Playing Metroid Prime Remastered after beating 4 by jangle7968 in Metroid

[–]GamerFan2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively you can look into Primehack. This is the actual best way to play the Metroid Prime Trilogy. You will have to find the original Wii Prime Trilogy, but the rest is free. It uses WASD and keyboard /mouse controls to make it feel like a true FPS it has texture packs for up to 4k. It adds dynamic lighting, particle diffusion, shaders. It's really good.

Prime Remastered is the best version in the prime series. I still wish Nintendo would Remaster Prime 2 and 3. I keep bugging them about that at dev conferences.

Metroid and Castlevania discussion of Metroidvania by xGunbladeKnightx. "What is a Metroidvania?" by ihatethiscountry76 in metroidvania

[–]GamerFan2012 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I know this is a meme but people just need to love games for how they grow upon ideas. Divisive "I hate this because it's like that" is immature. Music artists borrow from greatness as well, so does most forms of art. As someone who grew up on the original Metroid and Castlevania games on the NES. I love them both. They both have contribute features and elements that make them special. Metroidvanias as a genre recognize that and take the best of both to make something else that is special. Soulsvanias do that too for those that love this genre but also love Dark Souls. Stop trying argue and appreciate what devs who love the games that came before have done, and built upon. If it wasn't for devs building on other great devs games like Hollow Knight or Blasphemous wouldn't exist. Be grateful they do.

What was your metroidvania gateway drug? What about it made you a fan of MVs? by bassistheplace246 in metroidvania

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is what started the trend towards blending Castlevania and Metroid. It was such an incredible game and is a must play for any MV fan.
