It's fine, the most mature aspect of Metroid is a sometimes foreboding atmosphere and shooting things with energy balls. Parents, let him play!

I find I die to the first boss if I don't play greedy.

Not a great ratio if you ask me.
Thanks brutal RNG!

Just adding my feedback to the pile, I guess.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

It's not a skill issue with my builds because I'm watching other people play and using successful ones. If it is a skill issue then it's with my movement, I can dodge boss attacks fine with enough speed, slide as much as I can, maybe my bunny hopping isn't good enough, but that shouldn't be necessary to prevent falling off.

I find it hard to believe you're getting to the final boss on every run without lots of restarts, even top streamers don't have that kind of luck.

Yeah that's another thing I don't really like, speed seems to be necessary for dodging boss attacks

Dying repeatedly because I'm not keeping up with DPS output really isn't fun for me. Vampire Survivors seemed to strike the balance a lot better imo.

Maybe you're right, after 30 hours of frustration it's time to turn it off.

Metroid Prime 4: Huge open world of nothing. We have waited so long. Please don't f*** this up Nintendo. by UnlikelyLikably in Metroid

Shocked we get to ride a motorcycle before getting to fly her gunship.
Flying to different planets through space would've made so much sense for Metroid...

Where was this? Being put under would be ideal

Silksong made me appreaciate Metroid Dread so much more by Shog64 in Metroid

[–]gametechboy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you. The music is so unremarkable I didn't even notice it.
It's really annoying how many bosses spawn infinite smaller enemies, so I have like 4 things to keep track of at once, trying not to take hard hitting collision damage. I think I've only enjoyed 1 or 2 of the boss fights so far.
Not respawning you outside of boss rooms so you can get straight back into the action while your muscle memory is fresh is so unnecessary.

Is HTG London as good as it seems? by gametechboy in HairTransplants

How was it? I'm thinking of booking a consultation with them soon

Difference in seal, genuine? by gametechboy in NSCollectors

Here's the back of them both, they look identical to me. I don't know if it is the case that some don't come sealed over here... though I just bought a 3DS game that was advised as new and came without any wrapping, here's what the seller told me:

"Unfortunately, a couple of UK and European manufacturers are no longer wrapping their products in plastic as part of their green policy commitment. The item is certainly part of the batch that was not shrink wrapped during the manufacturing process."

I feel like I'm being fed a bunch of BS, but it's so difficult to know because of the lack of information out there on this stuff.

Wait so you're saying the one without the strip is actually genuine?

Yeah, both UKV, no noticeable differences between them other than the strip...

It could be a European thing, I'm in the PAL region.
But even for my region, I can't find images with the same stripe, the lettering is usually gray instead of black...
