I run this here hotel of an evening
Metroids

I know this has been done, but there is another 1 hit kill weakness of the 'almighty metroids'. a door. seriously. if a metroid hits a door, it blows up. kinda screwed up if you ask me.

A door???

Man, how pathetic have the Metroids become these days?  Laughing Where's the power and fear from the Metroid/ROS ones anyway? That's what a Metroid should be!

Well, if you have a Metroid on your head in Metroid 1 and walk through a door they die...

Good point.

I meant that the Metroids ever since ROS have been VERY toned down in my opinion. They just aren't feared or seen as much anymore as threats. It seems that they are in the games just to say that they were in all versions of Metroid to me.

I still want tougher ones to make a comeback, to how the series used to be. (Ok, so Zero Mission did an ok job of them I think: At least when about 4 of em appear at once on a low % run) Cause it's fairly easy to eliminate the Metroids now with the whole ice/missile thing. I know it was that way in the original too, but at least there was more than one at a time trying to get you all of the time to make it harder.

Ok, so I'm kinda venting about this: I'm sure that I'm not the only one of us who feels like this though. I'm still wondering if the series will bring Metroids back to their glory in the next installment (After Hunters that is)

It's just a matter of how and when that I'm wondering about...

Ready and willing.
It's kinda hard to make the Metroids really deadly in the 3D games, cause the real deadlyness of the Metroids was completely surrounding you. Of course, it's probably possible... but it'll take quite a bit of work to stop the Metroids from bashing into each other, plus there's the whole processing issue.

How about we get rid of the whole stupid "Freeze+missile" to kill a Metroid and bring back good old "Freeze+missile+missile+missile+missile+missile."  And then get rid of their weakness to beams other than freezing ones.

And then get rid of their weakness to the Screw Attack that was built into MP2.  Then make em about twice as big and twice as numerous.

There you have it.  Tough Metroids.

Man, that is quite a bit isn't it? Kinda my feelings in a nutshell about them there, GreenMamba.

(Anyway, we kinda went off on the whole Metroid bit there cause of me: We need to get back on topic soon  Wink )
