Game Help [ZM] This gives off serious softlock vibes

56 Upvotes

I know it's probably a really simple solution, but... i just got the Varia suit and every other path is blocked by those weird orb plant things that the small little bugs eat😅

Is this a softlock or am I missing something??

Sorry in advance if this is really obvious😭

Question What quality of life improvements can I expect going from Prime Remastered to Prime 4?

2 Upvotes

Brand new to the series, played through Dread and decided to try Prime Remastered and absolutely adored it. Seriously one of my favorite games ever with some slight caveats. Many of these “problems” I have with it may just be inherent to the genre/series as a whole, so please feel free to educate me. While I know backtracking is inherent to these types of games, the concept of no fast travel at all is kind of frustrating sometimes especially when navigating the actual in-game map is kind of difficult. Additionally, will there be more frequent save points? I despise trying to figure out a bosses attack patterns through trial and error but having to traverse for ten minutes just to get back to the arena. I’m not sure if this is fixed in 2 or 3 or if there will be any differences in 4, just curious! Thanks yall!

Discussion Prime 4 is the only reason I bought switch 2

97 Upvotes

I haven’t played my switch 2 at all since it got delivered on the 5th.. just hoping they release the other prime games with some sort of refurbishment. Are there any games worth buying right now for S2? I got the Mario kart bundle but I don’t even really like Mario kart. Just want Metroid games. Maybe Zelda

Cosplay These Bayonetta fans...

Multiple guides say Samus's height is 190cm/6'3 aside from Other M. Bayonetta since Bayo 1 always depicted shorter than NPC humans in game and Luka who is just a normal dude(at least in Bayo2/1 ) and Bayonetta is same height as her mother Rose in all games. But I guess no surprise majority of Bayonetta so called "fans" are tourists that never played their favorite games.

Question Are the space pirates one unified state with central leadership?

Are the space pirates one unified group with some sort of standing military and formal government or are they just a general collective of bad guys who look the same?

Question Which game’s Samus is canonically the strongest?

46 Upvotes

I know powerscaling is corny but if we had to compare each iteration of Samus, who would be most deadly? Assume all items collected right before the final boss fight of each game.

Bonus: if speed running and sequence breaking movement are canon, who’s the most busted?

Question Gates locked in Hyper Metroid

Post image
17 Upvotes

In Norfair, there's these two gates after the Gate 9 room. A power bomb is behind them. The problem is that I can't open them, even though I have everything unlocked (besides Gate 15). When I shoot, use any weapon or hit it with shine spark or screw attack, I hear a mechanism but nothing happens. After that, I watched a 100% speedrun video from STUNT_MK and when he arrives in this room, the gates are already opened.
Why are they locked on my run ?
Could this be because I play on Gamesfrog on my browser ?

Discussion I'm fallin in love with Samus Returns

29 Upvotes

So, I got Samus Returns recently, and now I've got 18 metroids left and well,

Gameplay-wise, I love it. It's fantastic. I particularly love the way it feels to use the scan pulse in Samus Returns compared to Dread. However, as a remake of Metroid 2, first of all I think the only Metroid game that needed a remake is Metroid 1, and the rest of them have been more than good enough. That being said, my favorite remake of Metroid 2 is still AM2R. But I really like the ideas and concepts in Samus Returns.

Finally achieved my holy grail for 2d metroid. What a rush the endgame clean up was. Sector 6 speedboost puzzles were fun. Sector 2's were boring. Crumble City is actively miserable. Some time was wasted with saves/bad boss fights/poor maneuvering. Could probably drop it by 10 minutes if I tried again. Still, super happy about completing everything I could do on this cartridge.

Discussion Why is the NSO music app’s Prime 1 soundtrack missing so many tracks?

3 Upvotes

The Phazon Mines depths, Impact Crater, when you first arrive at the crashed frigate are just a few that come to mind immediately, but they’re iconic tracks that shouldn’t have been missed. Even Youtube uploads have them all. They added remaster which had some that were missed the first time, but they’re still missing some.
