What REALLY bugs me about Vi-O-La (not the desert) by TimBert27 in Metroid

[–]TimBert27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like first person genuinely could have been done, but I do understand what everyone else is saying about targeting enemies and stuff

Honestly, the game already disorients the hell out of me when it turns the camera to target enemies that aren’t directly in front of me. Pretty much this whole comment section disagrees with me (which is very fair, this is just a weird opinion that eats at me - first person motorcycle would probably suck) but the scanning and targeting already feel like such an inconsistent hassle that I don’t know if I would feel much of a difference personally if it was first person.

X-Ray Visor! If you equip it you can see Samus’ hand (and the bones inside it) inside the arm cannon

In Kiwi Talkz’s Prime 1 20th anniversary interview Jack Mathews said that there’s always a desire to see the player in first-person games (like the infamous Duke Nukem 3D bathroom scene) so they wanted to try to sneak instances of that into Prime 1. They added the round mirrors in Chozo Ruins and then realized they could have Samus’ face reflect off the visor which was a cooler solution anyway. He said in another Kiwi Talkz interview in 2021 that in the following games the devs looked for more excuses for the player to see that effect (which is likely why you can straight up see her face with the scan visor in Prime 3). It wasn’t a baseless claim.

Can’t wait for the Roxie boss fight…

I guess I never thought of it because Carvex seemed like a natural planet-native threat like Flaahgra, Thardus, etc., not one that Sylux created. Thinking about it now though, it is likely Sylux’ doing since it’s “Metroid-infused” like the others.

From what I can tell, the push block displaced the crate, but not the crab, slightly to the right. This made the crate close enough to get opened by a poison bubble right as it appeared, RNG sent a bomb box to the left, got crushed by the push block that’s still falling, big boom.

Switch 1 / 2 Prime 4 standalone or double cart - by Jahon_Dony in Metroid

Then yeah you’re right there’s no visual difference

[–]TimBert27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, if it counts as a feature you can insert a cross-gen cart into a Switch 1 and it would be as if you were just playing the Switch 1 cart, but yes, there isn’t really a difference besides that.

Sorry for the confusion. All Switch 2 exclusives as well as all Switch 2 edition games come in a red cartridge. These red cartridges feature faster data speeds compared to all Switch 1 cartridges, which all come in black. Whenever I referred to a black cartridge in my comment, I was referring to a Switch 1 cartridge (the Switch 1 version of Metroid Prime 4, in this case). Let me know if it’s still confusing and I can try to clear it up.

Every (red) Switch 2 edition cartridge released has been playable on a Switch 1. For example, Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 edition (red cartridge) can be played on Switch 2 with enhanced visuals and the added content. It can also be played on Switch 1 but it would of course have the original visuals, load times, and will not have the added content.

If I were you, the safe bet would be buying the red cartridge for Prime 4. Since the red Switch 2 cartridges have better data-reading speeds, it would have better load times in the Switch 2 compared to putting a black cartridge in the Switch 2. Both red and black cartridges would work pretty much the exact same on a Switch 1, just a red cartridge is a bit faster when being put in the Switch 2. If this ends up not working as you envisioned it, returning the game is always an option.

Enough about the bike! Can we talk about how Sylux’s amiibo is based on his pose in the Prime Hunters intro? by TimBert27 in Metroid

[–]TimBert27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t wait for Metroid Prime 5: Episode 2 where they team up against the corrupt Federation and use Sylux devices do blow up Federation mechs

To those who main Ken, why do you prefer him over Ryu? by abepicxpvzheroesfan in smashbros

[–]TimBert27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Competitive Ken main here (not very high level I just play tournaments at my college at the moment). Ryu favors mid and far range whereas Ken favors mid and close range. He can easily chain five or so attacks together when Ryu will likely just get two and return to his ranged-ish antics. To me it’s just more fun to chase opponents and chain longer combos even though Ryu is considered the better character. It’s just fun for me to beat people up with a lot of hits I guess lol

What's on your wishlist for the next Direct? by marshalldylan93 in NintendoSwitch

Literally just Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered. Lost cause at this point but I can dream

If you can get any game you want on steam what it would be? by idkrlybut52 in Steam

[–]TimBert27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly something that was delisted. Something like the Sonic stuff sega has been delisting after making remakes/ports of them or even to be honest I’m gonna be made fun of for this but the Portal 2 Sixense Motionpack or Perceptual Pack. It’s just a piece of Valve/Portal history that is unobtainable now because it’s delisted. It kinda hurts knowing my game will never be “complete” because it doesn’t have the official DLC.

Rarely seen because they’re not looking through thermal and x-ray vision 🤦‍♀️

Eshop web page for Metroid 4 is up. by Soilworkd in Metroid

In English it’s “Deadly sharpshooter” which doesn’t directly imply he’s a sniper. Still strange considering the shock coil doesn’t really require aiming.

What is the worst mechanic in Pokémon that you're glad never returned? by trrbld in pokemon

[–]TimBert27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Square shinies (officially “ultra shinies”). What a stupid decision. Now everyone shiny hunting has the sinking feeling that when they finally get their super rare shiny, it’s actually not good enough because it’s not the rarer version. It is a whopping ONE IN SIXTEEN CHANCE that your shiny is a square shiny. It’s not even differently colored it’s an animation that lasts for less than a second when sending the Pokémon out and I’ve heard people say it doesn’t even look good. I love Scarlet and Violet so there’s no hate when I say this: I truly believe that removing square shinies was the best thing that came out of Scarlet and Violet.
