I got so lost in the GC original, everything looks the same and the 3d map was a nightmare.

Currently playing:




The same as usual then

yeah the map is a bit odd the remastering seems to have made it so far easy enough to distinguish between stuff more so than the gc vasoline of vision version that I vaguely remember trying

On a side note my brother gave me a ps4 over a year ago now and yet to turn it on outside of trying out spiderman that was on it ....no interest or idea what to play on it

I finished Metroid Prime Remastered yesterday actually. Most enjoyable 18 hours of gaming in a while.

I never bothered to finish it on GC for the reasons mentioned above, and I don't like the 2D Metroid games because of all the backtracking and wondering where to go. Thought I'd feel the same about this version but for some reason it really gripped me this time. The world is just a fascinating place to explore, and you're never far away from finding a new feature that opens up cool new bits. It looks really nice for a Switch game, and the level design is so clever. If they made this now you'd have waypoints and warp stations but it's a better game without them. It's surprising how quickly you can get about the maps once you're suited up and you always discover hidden stuff along the way. The game gives you hints eventually. As long as you take your time and scan stuff along the way, you can always figure it out.

Super Metroid is a absolute masterpiece.

...I've been playing Garouden Breakblow Fist or Twist. :whoopsie:

Almost finished Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Just going to check if there are any side missions left. I refuse to get any DLC for it as the game's a total mess.

I don't know where im going but still its not an issue so far :lol: Im only about an hr in as had to switch controllers !

/me tells myself I can manage 18ish hrs

I was late to supermetroid very late but it is fantastic.

Also picked up Metroid Prime Remastered on the weekend. Still a great game. Scanning the environment makes the game so much immersive. Rather than just having the story told to you, you actually discover it piece by piece by scanning all sorts of stuff. The music is ace. Narrator voice is crap.
I've read that MP2 and 3 will come out as well but not as "fully rematered as MP1", whatever that means. Can't wait for MP4 :awe: .
