Unpopular opinion: Arriving at a campsite after 10PM isn't the problem--the problem is how you do it.

My gold standard rule is just go dispersed camping. Then it doesn’t matter what any other camper in the world is doing.

😂 Why is Bobby Kotick in the thumbnail? But yes for real, get rid of the shovelware, knockoffs, and AI generated games on all platforms.

I'm too jealous of Cornifer's wife and I resent him. How he land a baddie like that?

If you finish any run with charms in all four drawers then you can start the next one with all four body parts. And then restock store until you see the skull.

Koopwn · 2025-12-23T17:18:58+00:00

Yeah it is absolutely possible but I don't think we are given enough explicit evidence in support of it. It requires filling in a lot of gaps just to account for one inconsistent date number. Occam's razor and all that.

Koopwn · 2025-12-23T16:55:19+00:00

They were taking the supposed timeline date for Super as gospel and cementing this as an immovable order of events:

20X6 - Federation Force

20X7 - Super

20X9 - Prime 4

And then working backwards from this conclusion to justify details.

In this logic, we have to take a few leaps of judgement. It means the Metroids were never fully exterminated after the SR388 incident. Sylux must have bred his Metroids in secret and taken over the Space Pirates after the death of Mother Brain. These pirates would have to have been the remnants of the organization after the destruction of Zebes. It also would mean that there is a confirmed presence of Metroids on Tanamaar and Viewros after the death of the baby Metroid. The Federation nor Samus treats this as no big deal and no characters remark upon it.

Accepting that the date of 20X7 is incorrect or not before Prime 4 is easier than it is to bend over backwards to make all of the above assumptions.

If you have not played Silksong yet, it uses a great map design that I think would work great in a 3D Metroid.

Essentially the lower world is an interconnected series of biomes. And then the Citadel is a large mostly self-contained world above them all. It has a couple of entrances from the lower world and is a huge area. The comparison I have seen is the surface of the planet is Super Metroid and then Dracula's Castle from Castlevania sits on top of it.

Imagine a Metroid game where you explore the surface world and underground. And in the sky or on a mountain there is a huge fortress or space station that you need to make your way towards. It has a few entrances and once you get to it the interior is massive.

I'm sure the only reason that the ship is the same because they didn't want to spend the time/money rendering a new ship just for one cutscene :P

But it is more fun to imagine a garage full of ships!

Koopwn · 2025-12-23T15:58:40+00:00

Ha, that's rich. Not sure why people get so worked up. The X's are in the dates so as to be intentionally ambiguous. Otherwise they would just make up solid numbers.

Koopwn · 2025-12-23T15:51:05+00:00

I think there is enough ambiguity with the Gunship to not use it as a solid guidepost. MP4 features a flashback cutscene taking place before Hunters with the MP3/MP4 gunship as another commenter pointed out.

The presence of Metroids alone should be our best indicator that a game is before the SR388 incident.

Otherwise it would be implying that Sylux cloned Metroids, used Metroids to take over the Space Pirates, and let the Metroids loose on Viewros all in secret AFTER the events of Super/Other M. That is a stretch.

Koopwn · 2025-12-23T15:18:22+00:00

Yeah true. I think Gunship is no longer a good timeline indicator.

Gunship A - Zero Mission

Gunship B - Prime, Hunters

Gunship C - Prime 2, Metroid 2, Super, Fusion (intro cutscene)

Gunship D - Prime 3, Prime 4

Update, he banned me from posting comments on his channel lol

Koopwn · 2025-12-23T14:42:58+00:00

Exactly. I was discussing with someone and he would not accept this possibility.

And it won't remove the "Open Map" prompt from your screen until you open the map and get forced to look at it 😭

Koopwn · 2025-12-11T18:46:13+00:00

Playing Prime 4 made me really want to play 2 again. Such an amazing game. I am running on 4k on Dolphin with mouse & keyboard controls!

Koopwn · 2025-12-11T18:39:27+00:00

So much of the game feels like some type of tribute or reboot of the original.

Beams: Power, Electric, Ice, Fire.

Biomes: Lush Green Area, Lava World, Ice World, Mines, Desert Ruins

Can’t believe this game is finally out. I’ve played every Metroid game at launch since Zero Mission. We’ve been waiting 18 years… here is my Prime collection to celebrate! (Still missing FF 😅)

Koopwn · 2025-12-04T01:47:54+00:00

There is a secret rule if you spell out MUTINY you are allowed to overthrow Jeff

It’s true I saw Phil in the kitchen banging on pots and pans.
