Unofficial Official Metroid: Other M Thread

[Conor]

I want the game but a few of the reviews I've seen tell me the controls aren't great and obviously I don't want the play a game with bad controls. Could someone who has the game tell me if the controls are as bad as what people are saying?

if i'm right, it's mainly detective mode, and the transition between it and the sidescrolling mode that has people pissed off.

@ ryudo, lolyes @ infinite missiles/health

morph ball's jump has been in other metroid games, it mainly just streamlines it, i guess.

That can't be that bad, it doesn't sound to bad anyway
I'll probably still get it.

I might get it, i need a new game

This has been bugging me, as well. Somehow, whenever I switch to first person mode, I'm facing away from the boss/enemy. So I have to frantically flip around and by then, I'm hit. But besides that, no real issues with controls so far.

You have to be facing the your target when you switch to first person. >.>

Contrary to popular belief, you don't auto lock the minute you switch to first person.

Anyone got to the ending of the Epilogue? I finally got 100% of all of the items. Gonna try again on Hard Mode later.

I just downloaded it. It's a cool game.

This isn't saying much, but it had the best storyline out of all of the Nintendo games. Even the ones with somewhat of a storyline, this tops them.

"I'm going to murder rats that stole my cake" is a pretty awesome storyline.

I was pretty sure I was facing them, but maybe I turned a bit upon switching, I dunno. Anyway, loving the story so far, but from what people have been saying, it seems short. Am I correct?

The story itself is a bit on the short side, yeah, but collecting all the items and hard mode add a lot more gameplay to the game.

The Prime games are short? I've always heard that they're pretty long.

in comparison to the amount of time you could/would take to get all of the items/100%, they're short.

and if you know exactly where to go, you can knock out the first one (as i don't know about the other two as much) in less than 8 hours. I forget what my time was, something under 10 i think. i dunno. my first play through took me like 24 hours, due to not knowing where to go/do.

 

[Bacon Boy]

Hard mode is ridiculous. You don't have to worry about 100% because... there are no power ups. You only get one tank and 10 missiles.
