Title: How much do you like the metroid series?
Description: Dont be shy...
Adorios The Metalloid Assasin - November 17, 2008 11:39 PM (GMT)
I'm sure that everyone here likes metroid. (duh) but how much do you like it?
Is it a simple pastime game?
Or is it your fantasy to fight along samus in real life in the future?
What is your ENTHUSIASM?
Note: Dont feel ashamed about your feelings, and dont flame people for not liking it enough.
Me:10 enthusiasm points

I want the rights to the series.
I love it, but I know it could be better.
My level of enthusiasm and love for the series .. however ..
Can be explained by the Metroid tattooed on the back of my neck.
Miles07 - November 18, 2008 05:28 AM (GMT)
9 for me.
For my next project, I will create an armored battlesuit, similar to Samus' (or Iron Man's?), and use it to do good deeds and basically end the conflict in Iraq. Once and for freakin' all.
:huh:
Obviously, this will take up some time, so I'll be back in about thirty or so years...

Vegeta! What does the scouter say about Lucifuga's enthusiasm level?
StrafeHunter - November 18, 2008 06:25 PM (GMT)
-7? I voted for several, since prime got a 10 but others got less.
fly_boy42 - November 18, 2008 07:40 PM (GMT)
why are there 2 votes for everything?
I kind of like metroid, it's the last good FPS/SSS
Lucifuga - November 18, 2008 08:09 PM (GMT)
First Person Adventure :D
...What's SSS?

Side scrolling shooter.
And metroid is not an adventure game, any game that rewards you for shooting everything that moves cannot be called an adventure, it's a shooter.
Sylux125 - November 19, 2008 12:29 AM (GMT)
It depends which game your playing. In Prime 3, the enemies had too many health pickups true.......... but many of its SSS had very few rewards for shooting anytihng that moved. Also, i disagree that Metroid is the last good FPS. I'd agree it is the last good NINTENDO FPS, but If you compare its gameplay and graphics too, say Crysis (Destructable almost everything, as well as some strategic choices, Which suit to wear? Slow but heavy armoured? Or stealthy but less armour) or Halo 3, You would find the Metroid series seriously lacking

Counter-Argument: Play the game in Hyper Mode. You will then see WHY there are so many pick-ups, especially if you use Hyper Mode over 500+ times like I did in one game sitting.
When it comes to shooting, the only real awards Metroid gives you are health/missile pickups, which is consistent through the game. Metroid Prime 3 does give your credits for No. of kills during a game though.

That's the thing, everything is halo except for metroid. Even yatzee agrees

But the emphasis is on exploration. Shooting everything that moves is just a perk that works for the series.

Oh yeah, well I just drew you sexy! What Now!? ...now I need to burn my hands
I'd really like it if there was less shooting, and more adventure. But no, you interact with things by shooting them (or use the same button)

I agree with your opinion. Less shooting stuff, more exploring things.

Current project status: 11/21
What's left for samus to shoot any way, aparoids?
Lucifuga - November 19, 2008 05:20 PM (GMT)
Aparoids! SF: Assault...I hate that game...Glad I got rid of it.
Samus can shoot more mutated 'Troids and pirates.
Arrrrgh...Me space ship...She's going down!
OFF TOPIC:
Someone make a Space Pirate version of this!
Light_Kraid - November 19, 2008 10:58 PM (GMT)
I voted 10. Metroid is awesome, just like my sig.

It's not like he has the time to change it, remember? He's too busy.
And if it truly was a problem, a mod would have removed it.
Adorios The Metalloid Assasin - November 21, 2008 04:35 AM (GMT)
Oy..........
i did change it, its smaller.
and i have school and homework and homestuff and extra-curricular stuff and.....
fly_boy42 - November 21, 2008 04:40 AM (GMT)
Not you, Lkraid.
Silly andross
Adorios The Metalloid Assasin - November 21, 2008 04:45 AM (GMT)
Well, i also said i was busy, too. little mistake.
I have no idea how to get this thing back on topic....
And stop calling me andross! i'm not a giant floating head! (wait....maybe i actually am because of how SpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilers and gets destroyed in the end...)
Light_Kraid - November 21, 2008 04:58 AM (GMT)
My sig and Adorios's are fine, don't know what you guys are talking about. But I suppose we should get back on topic...
Miles07 - November 21, 2008 05:33 AM (GMT)
B)
There, that's better. Back on topic:
If Nintendo doesn't come up with a new, GOOD Metroid game soon... :angry:

Yeah...Prime 3 was the lamest Metroid ever...
Just make something like ZM, that would keep me busy for a while.
Miles07 - November 21, 2008 02:18 PM (GMT)
M2 Overhauled Remake...

AWESOME
fly_boy42 - November 21, 2008 05:08 PM (GMT)
Now everything has three votes.
Is there something you want to tell me?
Miles07 - November 21, 2008 05:34 PM (GMT)
O.o
Strange indeed... Somebody is cheating...
StrafeHunter - November 21, 2008 06:37 PM (GMT)
Its not cheating if no one says you can't do it!
