Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

[Stryks]

@ Buzz,

Spoiler

the missiles are, when ur in an open area, and facing multiple oponents, u can call the sip to assist with a barage of missiles, I only did it once, but it was effective, more missiles = more chances ur enemis turn into crispy space pirate trash...

at least thats what i think it is...

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

this is any insanely dope game. highly recomended...

Spoiler

For the final boss of brynoa(i think, the second planet) the one with the red orbs as his power source, are the only way to destroy the casings on his feet with morph ball bombs? cuz that's really annoying. i keep hitting him and getting hit by that stomping blast of his cuz the only way to avoid is to double jump and when i'm in ball form i can't switch fast enough to avoid it.

Spoiler

I had that same problem. Instead of going directly at his feet in the morph ball, come from the side so that you go from his left to right or vice versa, and drop 3 bombs by his feet.

And sorry about my last post. My friend is a d***.

 

[Aruun]

ChRed, I'm pretty sure you just use the

boost ball

.

 

[Mr.GAW]

^^^ You don't have it at that point.

 

[Chill]

I here:

Spoiler

Just destroyed the generators around the first leviathan seed. I'm about to go and destroy it.

 

[Aryman]

Ooh good luck Chill.

Spoiler

I'm now collecting all the energy tanks for Valhalla. Maybe I'll take this time to collect all the powerups too, so I can get the 100% ending. I'm at about 78% now.

 

[BSpitz218]

I think the expansions were easier to get in this game than any previous one. I'm not sure if this is a spoiler so...

Spoiler

Half of the morph ball puzzle ones just require to double jump thing. There was no big chain reaction one. At least not out of the ones I found.

And wtf? No power bomb?

 

[Emblem Lord]

The missle expansions are stupid easy to get. They definitely hand fed the power ups to you in this game.

I think they wanted to concentrate on the story. Which is fine cuz they did a great job with the story.

 

[Darkurai]

I'm stuck in the

Spoiler

Pirate Homeworld

. I can't get to the research place early on.

 

[Salaad]

Spoiler

What are lores anyway? I'm only at 5% but that's because I havn't been able to play..

1. That's not a Spoiler
2. The lores are just for filling your logbook. But they also help tell backstories, so they're interesting to read.

@ chred,

Spoiler

its easy to turn into morphball before he dashes across the arena, lay bombs in his path as he starts to run, and then you have plenty of time to change back and jump over the shockwave.

@buzz,

Spoiler

i have no idea why you need more. each assault your ship does, either on enemies or for an objective, uses one missile ammo thing. i dont believe they refill until you find ship missile ammo in containers or whatever. but you usually find some in the first one you break after using one. i have never run out of ammo for it, and you could easily get 100% of everything else without getting any expansions. i guess they just wanted to add another thing to collect, since they didnt have that other thing you collected expansions for in previous prime games...

@ darkurai, if you're still stuck there...

Spoiler

you actually get into the map room for that area before you get the new equipment. its at the bottom of the main elevator, i forgot what you need to get in there but thats one of the first things i remember doing on the pirate homeworld...

and i agree the expansions are too easy to get.

Spoiler

especially since they tell you where they all are exactly...too easy.

 

[Aryman]

So I just beat the game at 100%. 16 and a half hours.

Spoiler

Can someone clue me in on whose ship they show after the credits? I heard somewhere that it's some hunter's ship from the DS game. Is that true?

Yeah, I've heard the same that it might be

Spoiler

Slyux's ship. Metroid Dread finally am confirmed?

 

[RaynEX]

Is the ending anti-climatic?

I heard predictions that it would be dull. how'd it turn out?

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

I'm looking for da Ener-g cells.

Spoiler

VALHALLA ARISE!!!

This game is awesome.

Who wants to do some tradin?

Need some green here.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

i'll trade with you. add me. i think i have two vouchers right now? i'll check.

as for metroi dread

Spoiler

The combination of the sylux ship in MP3, the escaping hunter ships at the end of the true ending of MPH, and the scan that says "project metroid dread nearing completion" all point to the next metroid.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

okay i have 8 friend vouchers. how many have you? add me as a wii friend.

edit: please don't warn me, it was an accident!

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

you should also add (although this might be obvious)

Spoiler

right after getting the spider ball, when youre crossing back across that connecting section that had the line break when you originally went through...when youre going up the spiderball track, you can simply let go of the track after the corkscrewy part and boost the rest of the way up, and once you make it past the electricity to the opposite side you can just boost all the way down the track.

if youre thinking about diong a speedrun for the game, you should look at one of my posts a couple pages back about a nice glitch to skip about half of the energy cell collection...

 

[BSpitz218]

I have 17 or 18 credits.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

I have 10, so i'll trade with you. add me.

 

[Schweppes]

Anyone got a high record for that minigame at the beginning of the game? (where you have to keep bouncing this thing with your gun)

I got 50. >_>

 

[TigerBlade34]

25 for me. You only get something when you get 10 and 20. No more. So I didn't bother going to 50.

 

[Chill]

Spoiler

I just destroyed the second seed and have a question.

When I was in one of the worlds (I think it was Bryyo after obtaining the screw attack) the AU told me about the Valhala and said to investigate. I went to the ship but couldn't progress because I didn't have energy cells. I assumed that I needed to find them on other worlds as that's how I found the one I had. Am I right in thinking this? Or was anyone able to fully check the ship on their first visit?

If I feel like it I'll start adding Wii codes.

 

[Stryks]

@ chill:

Spoiler

well st off there are a bunch of floating computers that tell u where the enrgy cells are, some u have to go and get them, but some like in the SP homeworld, u find them along the way, besides u dont need to enter the valhalla till u take down the 3rd-4th seed dont remember how many seeds are there, im sure theyre just 3, so that will do...

 

[Chill]

So, yes I was right. Heh thanks for the detailed answer though.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

So, I just beat the game!

Spoiler

Dark Samus was easy. After learning how it fights, I could conquer that phase with little to no damage taken. The Aurora Unit was a bit harder, but I still could conquer it with minimal damage taken (after learning how it fights and dying once or twice doing that). Aurora Unit's head, on the other hand, is an absolute beast. I died like ten times. I am curious as to what strategy everyone used against it. For the life of me, I could not avoid those blasted yellow laser sprays. They killed me more than anything else the head did. It spinning on the ground was annoying but avoidable, fortunately. (And for the record, I played the game on Veteran difficulty. I have the first two Metroid Prime games. I ain't gonna play on no sissy easy mode. ^_^)

 

[Stryks]

What?!

Spoiler

I found the last boss TOO EASY, dark samus was a breeze *sigh* always was... the thing that pissed me of more when fighthing the AU is when dark samus came out and seperated himself in 3, and all of them were attacking u it was annoying, not hard, just annoying, the head was severaly easy, all I did was fully charge the beam, and when he started spinning in the ground I would shoot, most of the scatter shots hit him, and when he was firing the lasers I just transformed into morph ball...

also attack the bomb thing that comes out on the bottom, he'll get stuned, go to his back size and missile him, pretty easy... well its not like it was easier than TP ganondorf, in comparison AU was a beast...

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Stryks, did you play Veteran difficulty?

 

[-Wolfy-]

TP ganon was relatively easy lol. It took me like a minute to figure out the boar, but then it was easy. I'm glad this game came out, like aside from being an excellent game, it's really improved my wii pointing XD

 

[Stryks]

@ Buzz: Yeah...

 

[Emblem Lord]

I liked the game. But it wasn't better then the first MP. That game was the best prime and arguably the best Metroid game up there with Super Metroid.

This game was too easy. They handed you upgrades, especially missile upgrades. They give you access to hyper mode in the beggining. In most Metroid games Samus gets access to some kind of super weapon or ultimate form at the end of the game, but this time they give it to you right off the bat. This stuff just killed the difficulty.

I liked going planet to planet, scanning the lores that the species left behind and putting the pieces of the story together like a puzzle though. I felt like a real bounty hunter.

Still it was better then Echoes. Not by much though. Echoes just felt like a side show really. Nothing to do with the Chozo, the space pirates, or the metroids. Samus just gets invloved in this war out of pity and the goodness of her own heart pretty much. She actually could of left anytime she felt like it. Although they tied in Echoes in Corruption, when you actually play Echoes it feels like it has nothing to do with the Prime series.

But the last suit you get in Echoes >>>>>>>>> all of Samus' other suits from every other game.

All Nintendo needs to do now is take this brilliant control scheme and make a Halo-killer. ^_^

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

except nintendo has to overcome it's tendancy to make games that appear, well, i'm not sure how to describe it. it's not kiddy, it's not family oriented. look at this game. but it's still nothing like the aura of halo. partly because it's less realistic. i'm not saying it looks less real because of the graphics, but because of it's content. samus uses a beam canon. master cheif uses sniper rifles and assualt rifles, which people associate with an fps. nintendo's games tend to look happier, or less realistic because of their content. mario? sure it's hardcore, but it doesn't change the fact that all the enemies look cartoony, and the main character is an overweight red and blue plumber. Also there's the fact that when enemies die in games like metroid and zelda, they don't slump over and fall around. they blow up or vanish. and then there's the biggie-there's no blood in nintendo games. I'm not saying nintendo needs all this, or that i wnant all that, it's that a halo killer would have to go to the heart of the FPS crowd, and the FPS crowd wants blood, rag doll physics, a relatively realistic scenario, etc. Which I doubt nintendo is willing to do. The closest thing to that that we were going to see was maybe prject hammer and disaster day of crisis. but what happened to those? They vanished. It seems like they run agianst the grain of nintendo as a company.

although that would be awesome, its not needed. MP3 prime did and still is continuing to do awesome.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

I'm pretty sure the Metroid series is more focused on adventure and exploration than the shooting part, so it's not aimed at the FPS crowd. I'm sad that I can't play Metroid Prime 3 yet because I don't have a Wii...

I KNOW RIGHT?

Jeez. I don't even care if they copy it completly, just give me an ONLINE FPS that ISN'T a WAR GAME.
