Tales Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 How do you change controls? I haven't seen any basic, standard, advanced options.
... Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Options - Controls - Sensitivity. Accessible through Main Menu and Pause Screen (Press 1 for Pause Screen during gameplay).
Aalborg Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 loving it.. I just encountered that "ice boss" and for the first time im getting whupped.. but hey you start right at the fight again when you die so no bother..
Iun Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 The trick is not to die at all! Still, it's great that you are enjoying it.
Strange Cookie Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Finally got round to playing this, and this is without any doubt on my mind my favourite Metroid-episode yet! I don't know why people complain about the graphics. They are pure eyecandy, and I own a Xbox360 and PS3. The framerate is smoothysmooth and the effects (bloom, blur, etc.) exquisite. It may not have the polygons, HD or effects of, say, Halo 3 or Heavenly Sword, but I think Metroid Prime wins in the visual departement. Not that they are bad looking games, far from it, but Halo's look is too generic IMO and HS's exchange of textures & polygons for frames per second is a bad deal in my book. No, it really is a great looking game. Indeed, the advanced-setting is the way to go. It takes some getting used to (could make up my mind: B - jump & A - shoot or vice versa), but it works like a charm. Truely a masterpiece!
Cube Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Lock on system is awful In what way? If you don't like the MP3 style lock-on you can choose to have the MP-style lock-on. [*]It really did feel like I was playing Hunters at times, with the whole "only one way/route to go" stuff. Have you got the hint system on? I'm finding MP3 to have much more freedom than the other two. Edit: I'm using the standard aiming setting. I prefer having a bounding box.
The-chosen-one Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 yeah MP3 has much more freedom , im really addicted to the game first time in a game i really got stuck and i love the bosses its not Just blast them away you have to think , not like other FPS just shoot and trow 1000 grenades and its over haha
Strange Cookie Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I'm finding MP3 to have much more freedom than the other two. My sentiments exactly, though I'm not really that far in the game yet (near the 'end' of Bryyo). There is still a lot room for exploring, even though I found it to be harder to find secrets. They seem to be better hidden in MP3. Well, either that or my skillz are deteriorating. And yes, the lock-on takes some getting used to in the free-aim-mode. Guess I'm used to that when I lock-on and shoot, it's a hit. It's weird you have to allign your crosshair, but once you've got it nailed, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. So much that, not unlike other Wii-games, it's hard to go back to Metroid Prime 1 & 2.
Zelda_Rulez Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 yeah MP3 has much more freedom , I find the game opening up more and more when you get to Elysia.
Mike Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, once you get to Elysia, the feeling of freedom does become more apparent, I'm finding. I just wish it hadn't taken so long to get there, because Bryyo really felt linear. I've not got the hint system on, either, but I'm still getting messages popping up all the time from that computer telling me where I should try looking next.
Kav Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Advanced setting, B = shoot - A = jump. I find that I only really use the lock-on / free aim when fighting one enemy... if I'm fighting a group I'd usually just aim without the lock-on. Just landed on Elysia... can't wait to get home from work and get onto this, didn't get much play time this weekend, orders from the Mrs! lol
Strange Cookie Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 didn't get much play time this weekend, orders from the Mrs! One fight, brother. One fight. And we'll never win. :wink:
Aalborg Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 The trick is not to die at all! Still, it's great that you are enjoying it. yeah I know.. "be less crap".. but I don't mind dying at this boss as you start right at the fight again..and not somewhere "far away" and you then have to make your way down to the boss again.. boy I HATE games that do that And I will get him.. eventually
Domstercool Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I don't see a problem with the lock on. I guess people actually want it to just not move at all when you lock on. I personally found it handy for bosses and big groups of enemies. It helps to circle around them and pop at multiply locations of the body, especially on a certain boss, it's godsend.
Guest Jordan Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Well. On Friday night i started the game again, i played alot of it and as of Sunday morning i had killed the second leviathan. Wow, this game is awesome. Its gotten so frantic and fun, stupidly fun even. I replaced the batteries in my Wii mote, moved the sensor bar on top of my TV and its helped alot. Constantly pointing at the screen can cause some pain in the wrist after a while, but leaning back and playing the game relaxed does help alot. I gotta say, this is my favourite Prime yet. Especially: [spoiler=!] Especially! The snow level bit where you get the screw attack. Man that took me back.
or else you will DIE Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 the problem with the lock on is...well, most of the time i found it didn't lock onto anything at all. you just have to keep moving around, get closer, further back and just hope it will lock on eventually. And when you finally do lock onto something, it will probably end up breaking out of it.
Caris Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 After reading or else you will DIE's Pros and Cons i thought id post some as well. Pros Controls are great. Great use of Wiimote at times. Using the ship to travel is ace. Buying stuff is a fantastic idea. Some good tunes. Cons Still Doesnt push the Wii's graphics at all. The ending was very chessey. Voice acting was Horrible. No proper Snow planet.
Shorty Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 A word of warning, if other people make accounts on your game, they can accidentally accept vouchers from your friends! Then they're lost forever! I had a few sent to me over the weekend and during that time I was away. My flatmate made a game on MP3 and accepted my friend vouchers. Lame! Not his fault but very stupid nonetheless. (If anyone wants to share vouchers with me out of pity I'd be grateful.) Btw I can't believe people complain about lockon. It was actually my biggest issue on the first two games. Who wants the aim to be automatic? All you have to do to hit is line up the cursor with the locked on target until it goes red then fire. It takes skill, and even more skill to hit with a charged blast. I love it
Domstercool Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Completed it with 100% woo!! Full ending ^_^
Guest Jordan Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Wow, you really did manage to beat it by Monday :p
Din Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Played for about 3hrs and 30mins just now and I've just stopped for a break. I'm now at the Bryyo Seed. Totally in love with this game. It's freakin awesome! I wasn't sure if I would like this better than Metroid Prime (which was probably my fav game on the GameCube) but so far I'm finding it alot more fun. The controls make the game so much fun. Lock-on can be a tad troublesome as it sometimes refuses to lock-on to enemies. But I'm trying not to use lock-on so much. Using the grapple beam is still so cool!
Oxigen_Waste Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I'm 3 hours in and... I absolutely love it! Perfect gameplay!
Ginger_Chris Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Finished it yesterday. Veteran 100% 15 hours. not half bad. By far the easiest Metroid to get 100% collectables. Also I might even get 100% scans (something I've not managed before) eventually because your scan list continues over to the next game (genius). I Might have another run though later in the year on a slightly harder setting.
Ted Nindo Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 This game rules! Got me hooked just like the first Prime. The second was uninspired and predictable. I like the controls, the bosses, enemies, planets...MP3 is awesome!! Is it worthwile to scan everithing???
