I suck at Metroid Prime

I've played through nearly all Metroid games. Even sort of did speed runs in Dread, getting down to 2h7min before the world record wasn't much less than 1.5 hours (before the latest methods of sink and skew...)... but I have never played the Gamecube. So I have never played Metroid Prime, even though I bought the trilogy to play on the Wii (still haven't played through). Only games I ever would have played on the cube were the Metroid games and Zelda Wind Waker (which I have also not played through yet, but own). I could not justify buying a system for 4 games.

Now that it's out on the Switch, I tried to play it. I've now died 4 times, simply trying to escape after killing the first boss. Holy crap. I don't think I'll get through this game until I'm back out to sea and have an excess of time on my hands. I'm wondering if I'll even get the game started (by completing the escape)...

heh. I finally feel defeated enough to post that, and I get past it with nearly 2 minutes to spare on the very next try. The control scheme between having 2 different buttons that cause you to jump, switching to the visor and scanning stuff... is all rather confusing in this game... to a newcomer

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    DLC will be a svelt 32K download lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think you only get like 425gb on a series s hard drive, so you get 1, 2 next gen games max
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, so you need to have another series s if you wanna play more games?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Nuh you buy extra HD n add to it, but not cheap
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, how can a console have more than 1 hard drives?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    usb expansion? I know the PS4 can do this
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    Do you have a surge protector or an UPS?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea but to play the next gen games, you must have those games on internal, or buy the official ssd expansion cards, which are expensive
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, dunno what each one of those are
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, my PS3 was already modded when my dad bought it for me and my brother
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    that's weird
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, and oh i was talking about ups
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    No not that one
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Surge protectors are what i was talking about
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
