By the way I’ll be checking out your precious Metroid Prime next week.

You in trouble boy.

Ruin shit in my damn yard!

Flair, Arn, Tully and Windam?

LordWilliam1234:

Forgive me brethren, for I have sinned.

I did not give Super Metroid the treatment it deserves.

It got better once I spent more time with it, going through the game rather than trying to bomb every square inch of the place to find every secret I can before actually continuing on. (Hunting for secrets isn’t a negative point against the game, I just think I was going about it the wrong way.)

Some of my issues are still there, but that’s less on Super Metroid and more on myself, as 2D platformers still aren’t my preferred style of game.

Final Personal Score: 7/10
Final Score if I didn’t have taste cancer: 9/10 (still a bit too easy and I felt that the bosses were “meh”)

Please forgive my blasphemy. A prime example of why people should finish games before reviewing them.

No issues. You have learned in your ignorance and now you’re better off for it.

Also, remember this order for later.

Terra
Ventus
Aqua

It’s a shame. I always pictured Stuart Scott commentating an EVO moment when it would finally make headline Sportscenter news.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Here’s a Necalli av from his SFV artwork.

…Now if we could have a Swimsuit day at Sportscenter with all those ladies…

po_pimpus · July 22, 2015, 7:07am

I need Cassidy Hubbarth in a bikini, STAT.

BigDewey · July 22, 2015, 7:26am

Ah damn, and here I thought I could hold-on to my “no fapping for a month” promise I made to myself.

Welp, there goes spiritual enlightenment right out the window…

RagingDemonStorm · July 22, 2015, 7:56am

I don’t care as long as Sage Steele is mine and mine alone.

You can enlighten those nuts by shooting off a couple rounds

Devil’s Third release trailer. It actually looks pretty fun.

It’s getting a PC release(OH SHIT) so I’ll definitely play it at some point. B)

Devil’s Third looks like a parody of the US Paramilitary forces from the eyes of the Japanese.
Like if the Japanese made their version of the Expendables and turn it into a video game
For the US English version I hope there at least one bad cowboy joke.

CHIEfy · July 22, 2015, 8:51am

The name Necalli reminds me of Nikolai Jackoff Jakov of the KGB.

Terra
Ventus
Aqua

Any particular reason for this order? I remember going Vent-> Terra-> Aqua when I played.
One thing I will say is I like the choice of going through the whole game a one character rather than constantly switching off. KH 3D got less tedious with that as you got more stuff to prevent it, but starting out, that was too intrusive to gameplay.

-LW, in Metroid Prime… going scan-crazy is kind of like going bomb-crazy in the 2D Metroids, but at least you get A LOT insight into the Metroid universe via scan descriptions (I enjoyed it). Still though, if you’d rather spend more time playing than reading then don’t try to scan everything on the first playthrough.

Devil’s Third has been getting panned pretty hard, to which Itagaki has responded with saying he will release a video of one of the devs showing how it’s “really played”. The slide sells it for me in this game. It’s not Vanquish, but it’s still cool.

Sorta. The main character is Russian, and there is a cowboy though. Game is based on a ‘what if’ scenario of the Kessler Effect. It looks rough, but considering the development hell this game has been through, I’ve still seen worse.

Well Aqua going last is obvious, so it’s a matter of what order to use the initial two. My spoiler-free reasoning is that Terra’s story is a bit more detached from the other two and he also plays the least like the others. Easier to get him out of the way early.
