Mmmmk, so I need a helping hand/hint from someone farther along in Prime 3 than I am, here's where I'm stuck:

I'm on Bryyo, I got the ice missiles, and after getting rid of the west energy thing, I had to destroy the eastern one, but in the room with a question mark above it (on the map), the two doors going out of it (left and right) are locked and only openable from the other side.... @.@ help greatly appreciated, if you could just tell me a hint or what room I should go to I'd be thankful.

I just got to the part

where the "meteor" is approaching and I just beat Ridley. When he first showed up and attacks you while you're in morhball mode I didn't even recognize him. I was like 'why the heck is there a giant bird attacking me'?

Are the controls automatically set to 'Expert" or whatever it's called. If not where can I change them? I don't think I have the right setting on.

Well...
Pretty big spoilers ahead...
I just beat ridley... again. Hes the boss of the Space pirate homeworld. Now Im hunting down all the artifacts.... I mean energy cells. Its actually considerably easier than before. It used to take me like two months to work up the patience to do it, even with guides. Now Im doin it without a guide and Ive got all but one.

If you press the 1 button, it'll go to the map, and on the left there are tabs. Click the options tab (close to the bottom) and I think there are a list of things you can change, then click like "controls" or something along those lines. You can then change the aiming to Advanced (I think that's what they call it)....

lol, i got a little glitch (actually ive had two glitches so far, the first one made the screen get all messed up if you left morphball form, and i had to reset the game...), i got that pirate code without putting any energy cells in the room where the AU used to be...i pretty much screw attacked into the ledge that the top door is on, fell down into the pit, and it respawned me right in front of that door.

evil glitch!!!-
it was in one of the first rooms of the space pirate homeworld, where you step in that elevator and it breaks (you need that special grapple to get in to the elevator in the first place though)...DONT get in morph ball form, hold Z, and jump up to the right of the window...i got stuck floating in midair for some reason, and when i exited morphball form, the screen was all glitchy.as in the entire top half was black, and the bottom half was random stripes of colors...anyway, it went back to normal if i went back into morphball, so i had to roll back to my ship to save before i reset the game...

oh yeah, ridley ftw. although i cant say i like the hyper upgrade you get from him as much as the other 3...oh well.

and who wants to be my friend to trade friend vouchers with me??? i have 17 waiting to be traded...

Yeah, Ridley was sweet, though no where near as difficult as the statue, orb, bryyo boss thingy, but the hyper grapple blows hard.

Anyways, Ill be trade with ya, I gots 15.

Um... That was a while ago for me but I think...
Get your ship to try and bomb the generator at that one and it should fail and when you try and leave the pirates should open the door for you.

Well I just finished the game. Pretty sweet all and all, and the last world has an interesting twist thats pretty fun. Final bosses were pretty easy though, even easier than Prime 1 and way easier than prime 2.

EDIT: Yay for screenshot of the end! My time was: 11:56, 79%. I intend to go back and get the rest of the expansions.

Just finished as well. Final time of 16:16, 100%. Didn't get all of the logbook entries, but I'll save that for later runs.

But yeah. Time to put those friend vouchers to use! Let me know if you add me in a PM (along with your own code). My code should be in the postbit. Happy hunting!

You know that that was either a conformation that Metroid dread is infact nearing completion OR its just an easter egg for us lot.

But it IS NOT just a coincidence.

Well I can finally post here (yay) and gotta say...

LOVE THIS GAME

The controls are like no other, I get confused with buttongs but I got the hang of it after a while, anyone but me changed the A and B buttons? it feels more natural to shoot with the B trigger...

Rundas is just plain awesome
it sux he was killed, but HOW was he killed was just plain kick ***

I read in an interview with... someone official, cant remember who, that there was an easter egg about Metroid Dread, but it neither confirmed nor denied anything, so dont get you hopes up too much... nah, get your hopes up!

And Stryks, I tried it that way for a while, but I decided I could shoot more accurately the other way, so I switched back.

The easter egg is true, check IGN... and yeah I somehow had more trouble shooting with B button at 1st but got the hang of it, also my thumb hurts like hell if I shoot too long with the A button...

SO B FTW!

..I am with Stryks on this one[Wow..I am with Stryks lol]! B button feels much better, I don't get hurt[fingers], and I can shoot quicker with it(I don't hold the button down like some).

Why in the world did I say Sylux lol. I meant Rundas' ship at the end..OR, it may be Sylux for the new series!
Anyways, Rundas' boss battle was epic and awesome..I didn't expect that Ice Pillar to pop up at all though. That was great!

ZOMG
Ghor was too easy, I expected something more epic, his raming attacks remind me of ridley in MP1, but finally have the plasma beam, than god it aint as sucky as MP1 plasma beam...

Ok so now I gotta look for the screw attack on another planet... I gotta say... Bryyo?

and seriously WTF wth shadow dark samus? how the hell is this guy getting all these kick *** abilities?!

No, you posted what the easter egg was, and that it was about a 2d metroid game. I posted what the guy said about the easter egg in addition to your comments. Im just sayin that it probably doesnt mean that Metroid Dread is gonna be realeased in like... a month (especially since it really hasnt even been formally anounced), nor does it for sure mean it is definetely in progress as thats what the official said.

I'm on my Veteran run now... about a quarter of the way in, but only picked up a few of my missing scans :-/

There's a ways to go yet, though. Oh, and still need people to give away those friend vouchers to :Þ I've got 20 now, and they're not doing me any good just having them. Just be sure to reciprocate. Only need 15 for all of the unlockables, so I'll have some spares to distribute as well.
