Don't get me started. I've been known to rant about this in every thread it's brought up in. Nintendo and all Metroid fans should disown the Prime series like the crippled little runt of the litter. Prime one was okay. Prime 2 blew ***. Prime 3 is a Halo ripoff. The Americans ruined the game. I honestly hope a Japanese based company takes up the series after Retro is finished.
What are you talking about? Don't say Prime 3 is a Halo ripoff until you've played it.

I hope its Zero Mission and for his taunt he screechess loudly. That would truly be the greatest taunt.
I'd like the games to remain 3D, but with some 2D ones on a handheld or something. But the people who beg to differ usually played Prime as their first Metroid game. Tell me one person who played Super Metroid then played Prime and said it was better. 2D Metroid games simply own 3D ones in every way except for graphics and a few limitations do to restrictions from the technology at the time. The first Metroid Prime was okay. It stuck true to the series and such, I'll give it that. But in no way was it as fun, atmospheric, well thought out and engaging as the 2D games. It was mostly linear. Being the first non linear game is what Metroid is known for. The classic enemies such as Kraid and Ridley were ruined. The storyline was half a**ed (they pulled the old stick it in between two games so we can make up a story). I'll stop ranting now... but I'm honestly worried how they are going to pull of Prime 3. How does Ridley go back to being normal is one thing that's bothering me. They already screwed up the mother brain by making it something that was mass produced by the galactic federation, even though all Metroid fans know the Chozo built the Mother Brain on Zebes as a security system to run the planet.I can't comment on Prime 2 (having not played it - don't much like the idea of the weaponry in it), but I thoroughly enjoyed Prime 1 (felt quite true to the series, especially as the first transition from 2-D to 3-D).
Would you still like to the see the series still in first person form though if another company took Metroid under their wing?
I can understand a little where your coming from I think. I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I can understand a little why you feel the series is going downhill in comparison to the style of the 2-D metroids. But it seems like most people would beg to differ, based on reviews and the general consensus I seem to see, that going 3-D only immerses you more in the game experience.
Based on what I have seen I think Prime 3 looks awesome, but I don't know how I feel in regards to all these sub-par n00b bounty hunters showing up
Anyway on-topic: Ridley's tail is simply fascinating huh ^_^ wow, look at it go!

No. Noob is a spinoff of newb which is short for newbie. A newbie is someone who usually knows very little about something and sucks (when it comes to video games). Being a newb doesn't have anything to do with voicing your opinion.
It's people like you that make the internet a better place.
Then how am I a n00b you dumazz? You don't make any sense Shuma. White Mexican contradicting himself for the loss.
Okay, I was being a bit extreme, but I wasn't being immature or being a noob. And I don't think the Prime games are bad games, but I think they are terrible Metroid games. To the point where I get angry when someone thinks everything in Brawl should be Prime related. I'm honestly a little happy that Japan hates the Prime series, that way, less of it's stuff in Brawl. It just isn't the true Metroid, and I don't want it's stuff representing the series as a whole.
I fully understand where your coming from now, and I can completely respect that. You want the series to technologically advance, but you don't want them screwing up the storyline, or removing the open-ended gameplay that really forced you to work and think to uncover the secrets in the game. I think?
. Not everyone can have played a retro game (although they now all have the chance and really should) because alot of people were brought up in this generation of gaming and simply can't appreciate some of the classics. It's still a solid game and alot of fun, and I don't see too many of the newer Metroid players dissing the older games. They're simply ignorant of it, and I think that should be forgiven :D
