yeah the atmosphere for the beginning of prime is such ITS METROID BUT 3D i love the setting, i love the e3 demoness of it, and i love having the varia suit immediately
i would have played the rest if it was all info gathering and puzzle exploration, the boss fights really put me off
yeah there’s no way they could’ve talked me into playing as a woman without shoulderpads, it was a good bait and switch
I think my contributions to this thread are even worse than the main trans thread
you’re a true male ally felix
Swerving the thread right back on-topic here.
I seem to have blocked all memory of boss fights. All I remember is scanning creatures and features, and thinking, “HM! INTERESTING!”
metroid prime should’ve been a trans dating sim where you go on long strolls across phendrana drifts and try to get dark samus to like you
How many trans dating sims are really about the duality of self?
can a player lead a double life (before she shank me with that butter knife)
is the American release of Prime any better as far as lore and flavour text goes? i don’t remember really experiencing the “piecing together a civilisation” part when i played; all the infodumps felt extremely dry and techno-babbly. heard something about there being different versions though
you’re AU right? i definitely remember like, a bunch of writings by chozo and space pirates. one memorable one describing the space pirates’ attempts to emulate Samus’ morph ball
oh yeah that one made me crack up. but no i’m thinking of more concrete backstory stuff, like how there are meant to be elements that hint at Samus’s being raised by the Chozo. i didn’t encounter that point until zero mission, and for the most part i’d rather forget that game
oh yeah right! well i just looked up a wiki and you’re right, there’s definitely actual talk about Samus’ early life in the US version and her relationship with the Chozo. i guess in the PAL revision all the writing was from before her time, maybe?
possible! considering they also patched a lot of speedrun-applicable exploits it seems like first edition is usually the way to go with metroid games
That’s a pretty weird change to make.
i like how samus’s isolation translates super well to her hanging out in bars
maybe not always super well though
Ive always kinda liked that Samus/Lara Croft comic even though it offends my comic sensibilities by having giant walls of text. Exhausted baggy-eyed Samus is canon imo
“So what’s that symbol on the back of your hand?”
“…”
“…”
“No.”
her hair isnt green not canon sorry. samus has the same hair color as me.
