Something in Crossway

I don't see why there would be a war about Secret Worlds. The way I see it, the most iportant part of playing a game is to have fun. I mean, sure, secret worlds don't appear to have much use at the moment to allow you to play a faster game; competitively, they appear to be useless (at least forn now). That doesn't stop people having fun with them, exploring the and seeing what they can and can't do with them. If someone finds it fun, isn't that good enough to justify it? Isn't that the most important justification there can be for it?

yeah i agree with that. Maybe some ppl are just frustated about the fact that they are not usefull. I would like to see it though.

There's still a lot of room for things to be found in Prime, and basically all that's left is to either use secret worlds to access them or rewrite the programming Rolling Eyes

. That's why I'm a wallcrawler, if there's something left out there, I'll find it :D

There's no point in fighting but if there was a war, I'd be on the side of SWs. Right now the idea of getting the Training Chamber ET and omit flaaghra from the game is yummy ^_^.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

I certianly don't want to start a big fight about it. Some people get a lot of enjoyment out of them, and that's fine. I question their ability to contribute to sequence breaking and/or speed running, but on their own they're just fine. I'm just not interested in them is all.

Boy, I never thought this topic would go THAT far. Embarassed

Forgive me for starting this mess. I'll keep my eyes on Sequence Breaking from now on.

Quote from Toozin:

A faq on Gamefaqs for Metroid 1 calls them Hidden Zones, which is slightly better than secret worlds. Something like Junk Zones or Leftover Zones would be more appropriate though.

I prefer to call then Invalid Map Pointer zones, but that's probably solely due to the acronym it creates. Imps rule!

Of course, map pointers don't really apply to Metroid Prime, so I guess Outworld would work best for it. Or, to be wordy, Zones Outside the Intended Designation of Samus (ZOIDS). Personally, I think I should get the Pulitzer prize just for coming up with that one.

Quote from Toozin, again:

I second that emotion. Sequence breaking is the law of this land.
