Is anyone here a Metroid Fan?

 

[Seraphex]

Who wouldn't be ^^?

 

[Koopa124]

Well, cause i'm looking for people who like metroid so we can--- signiture.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Not really a Metroid fan, but the first Metroid game is awesome.

Agreed .

 

[Ravager]

I haven't really played metroid execpt for echoes, wich was auwsome but easy.

I'm not anti-nintendo fan it's just that nintendo characters never really appealed to me. I'm not a fan of metroid, zelda or mario.

 

[Kimbo]

I really liked Super Metroid on NES/Super Nintendo. Im not a fan of their new ugly games though, so .. i dont know .. just a fan of the first one.

 

[Gladin]

It could be one of the most AWESOME game serires!

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Own the whole Prime trilogy, loved them. The first one was a bitch to beat. I would love if anyone here who played Corruption could send me some friend vouchers. I'll send some back (currently have something like 16?).

And just to watch the flamewars, Samus would beat the Master Chief.

 

[Rvsoldier]

What flamewar? Haloid fans have already proven that Cheifs suit is under (iirc) ...2%? Of Samus' suit lol.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Really? I hadn't known that, but I was hoping for maybe the Chief fanboys/girls that would storm in and be like "zomg wtf u talkin about master chief is the best evar!11!1!!!"

 

[brad.dude03]

MASTER CHIEF > SAMUS not even gonna lie.

Metroid, unlike a lot of Nintendo's other in-house-developed games, never appealed to me at all.

 

[Darth_Muppet]

Yeah. Liked all the Metroid Games but i played echoes when i was young and it creeped me out :O MP3 was awesome except i thought it was too easy.

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

I've always enjoyed Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion the most. But... Yeah I think Bungie got the idea for Chief's design from Samus.

 

[brad.dude03]

I hi9ghly doubt that. The Chief's armour is actually an evolution of the character's in Marathon, a previous game developed by Bungie. Early versions of the Elite also appear in Marathon as well.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

"Space trooper" and "can't see face" are actually fairly common archetypes for character design.

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

Huh... What game did the whole space trooper video game archetype start with?

 

[brad.dude03]

Who knows, but it's long before Marathon or even Metroid.

Samus > Master Chief totally.

Darth Vader and Boba Fett/storm troopers were some of the earlier ones, I would assume (character archetypes hardly need to, and rarely do, originate from videogames).

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

Vader's a Jedi, not a 'Space Soldier'. Wanted to say that before any Star Wars nerd got upset.

 

[brad.dude03]

Vader is in fact a Sith, not a Jedi.

You tried, but i'm still upset.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Vader's still in space and has a badass mask that stops people from seeing his face. He contributed to the archetype.

 

[BlackArmsShadow]

Well Vader started out as a Jedi. Sith doesn't always describe a fallen Jedi, right? Dammit this is getting off topic. Is there a Star Wars thread somewhere on this site?

 

[Vasxazard]

I've always been Metroid fan... ever since I was a wee little boy. I decided to get Mertoid Prime 3 even though I didn't get the earlier Primes. It was good, but I thought it was short and too easy. I thought Super Metroid was the best one ever even though it was in 2d.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

The first two are great. The first one in particular is awesome. I didn't like Echoes as much, but maybe that was because the first one set such a high bar? Anyways, play through on the hardest difficulty again. I don't know why games don't start you off with the highest difficulty, if you're a 1337 monster at the game, you already know all the twists and turns.

 

[Sabertooth]

I liked Prime/Corruption the most of the new ones, wasn't a big Echoes fan though.
And of course the old ones win as well. =P
