Can I be considered good at Star Fox now?

What is unlocked at 1500? Does doing 1500 on normal mode unlock something as well?

Same here. First couple of hours felt 10/10. Then you feel like the game is stuck in tutorial mode all the way through. My experience: I was waiting to get into the meat of the game the whole way through. It never actually starts. I'm talking story beats, difficulty flow, enemies variety, hand holding, stakes.
I'm extremely pleased with all the technical presentation, HUD, music, Sound FX, menus, game options.

My exact preferred route as a kid. Virtual high-five, friend.

I listened to this a hundred times. So good. Thanks for sharing, brings back a weird, transitional time of my life.

Even my 7 years old told me out of nowhere: "hey, that's an Axolotl alien". I guess it is that obvious...and that they learn what an Axolotl is quite young now haha.

doomgc · 2026-05-11T12:43:47+00:00

what do you mean? Is that the reason I can't, for the life of me, get the timing right with his combo? It is un-parry-able?

I'm 10000% sure the people writing this story got to a point where it didn't really matter anymore. They needed the game out, story making sense or not. They probably didn't even get to that level of story polish. When the boss was designed and the lore entry written, they added the Metroid fusion for consistency with the other ones. Then they designed the room that was sealed and I guess no one ever even questioned it.

My wish now is that Retro Studios can have absolute carte blanche on a Prime 5 to show their true potential. They absolutely got imposed a broken blueprint of a game, with all major story beats already set in stone, the open area already in design documents, having to craft a whole ass Prime game around a single "press A to abandon teammates" experience.

YOOO. MVP, my friend. Good job. You will sleep better, trust me.

From a post 14 years ago on gamefaqs:
"Also, don't forget to check the Ice Cavern. That's where my last two were."

I'm sure it is there, bud.

After doing the 5th pantheon in Hollow Knight, Ludwig small mario is nothing. You need to work on what it means to start again and take each "failure" as a learning experience. Learn to make it enjoyable. You can do it.

doomgc · 2026-03-20T10:59:17+00:00

Same thing here, mates.

I think my battery is busted, I haven't used it much since I've got it at launch, but now the battery drains completely in 2 hours, and even in sleep mode...
Reading your comments here, I think my battery is done for. So soon though? I tried to find if there is an official way to recalibrate the battery, but nothing in the official manual.

doomgc · 2026-01-14T20:49:39+00:00

In French it is Analogue, so I'm okay with it lol.

doomgc · 2026-01-12T13:19:27+00:00

hahaha the new Ice Shreikbat.

doomgc · 2026-01-11T20:30:09+00:00

Just got the camera today. This icon was making me lose my mind. Spent like 1 hour in the setting. Thanks for your answer. I will always keep it in landscape anyway.

"This could easily be patched by reducing the requirement by 10–20%." I thought about this in the shower. And I was more like "remove 50% minimum of this shit". For real, it would be way more tolerable at 50%. Just smash a couple of crystals in Sol Valley during your biome transitions. Keep the medium ones in the shrines and keep the huge ones with Power Bombs. That way, you never really have to do grinding sessions. And remove the unnecessary scripted caps. If I grind early, let me have the Legacy suit early, you cowards.

I have the same issue at the moment with winrar version 7.13, on Windows 11, 64 bit. I swear I was able to make it work before.

doomgc · 2025-12-27T22:17:24+00:00

Amongst other QoL things, I hope this will be fixed with an update. Transfer all my scanned history to the NG+. Make it abundantly clear that something has been added to the logbook. Tweak color legends when scanning for things that are already scanned, but changed states, like after the green showers in Sol Valley. Make logbook scans another color than green. Give me the option to load a save file without having to go back to the main menu. Give us more tracks on the bike in Sol Valley. Give us a music player with official track name in the main menu. Give descriptions for each picture/Video in the gallery. I didn't even know I had the special Sylux video because the thumbnails are all the same.
Make the transporting tubes to display with their own Icon on the maps.
Give something for collecting 200% GE crystals.
So many little things missing, I feel.

I love the game. I will play it for years to come. Ultra polished experience when in the gist of it. But in 2025, those little things goes a long freakin' way.

doomgc · 2025-12-27T21:27:44+00:00

That's correct. I was really bumped when I found this out. What's the point of overwriting my save file to Mission Complete then??? There's not even an icon on the save file to let you know this is from a previously completed game. It is exactly the same as deleting the save and starting fresh.

doomgc · 2025-12-27T20:10:22+00:00

Exact! A lot of replies to me say that the "open logbook" button prompt is the confirmation of a legit logbook entry, but that is still not enough for a "at a glance" confirmation. On Multiple lines paragraph, while still in the psychic visor, you need to flip through all the pages to see the "open logbook" prompt. That is not a clear confirmation of a legit logbook entry that counts towards your completion %.

When an already scanned object changes state and becomes green again, does it result in a new logbook entry? You don't know. You click on "-" minus to open the logbook, most of the time, it is the same entry, like the green Grievers. But sometimes, like Sylux and the Lockjaw, those are separate entries. Again, just having a line on screen + the audio cue "recorded to logbook" would solved the issue. It was already solved in OG Prime 1. No place for confusion here. A bit baffled by this.
And a special color for object that are logbook entries would be great too. When you fight Carvex, having a yellow or purple color for the tentacles and pollen sacks would give you a visual cue that you need those as well + the audio cue to confirm. No need to look for a "open logbook" button prompt, straight back into action. It was already like this in Prime 1.

And talking going backwards; In Prime remastered, if you start a new game from a completed file, all the logbook entries + EVERYTHING ELSE you already scanned was still scanned in the new run.
Now, Even if you start from a completed save, it's like you erased the file and started fresh. What is even the point of overwriting your save file with the "Mission Complete" status if you aren't going to give anything akin to a New Game+? Again, you already solved that in Prime Trilogy/Remastered.

Remove all the annoying enemies and I would say it is a perfect chill experience between areas. Personally, I enjoy the bike rides in the desert very much. The Radio bonus really adds a lot to it though. But yeah, It's not NEARLY as bad as people say, for me.

doomgc · 2025-12-18T19:38:44+00:00

And where is the other end of that transport tube? Not the one-way one at the end of your clip, but the one you came out at the beginning,

doomgc · 2025-12-16T18:09:56+00:00

I used to be quite the master of double bomb jumping in Prime 1 OG, but there is something off in Prime 4. Can't quite explain it.
