Indeed, Echoes was every kind of awesome. My definite favourite in the series. Haven't played Corruption, however, so that one's left unaccounted for in my judging.
...because the whole fucking mod team is made up of damn biased fans. Some fans I might add.
Pretty sure making posts in the wrong forums, and re-making them in the same forums after the admins lock them, is against the rules period. It'd be the same treatment if you did a "here's all my speculation" post on Prime or Super Metroid or Pinball. If you don't like the rules or the admins, you're free to find another Metroid forum.
Honestly, I've tried to be patient here, but you're not even attempting to follow the most basic rules of socialization, because you'd rather be right in your own eyes than be respected in anyone else's. That's called being a sociopath. If you have no desire or intentions of trying to get along with the other human beings on this bored over a stupid fucking video game, why are you here?
Edit: That post makes me look angry, doesn't it? To clarify, I mostly just feel bad for you. You've treated these forums like middle school, and that just seems... depressing.

But that's not what this thread is about.
IGN sure has a couple of good things to say about Echoes, my friend...
"Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, in every way an extension of that winning formula, does not. As a result, anybody who played through the original game will already have a very clear picture of what waits in this anticipated sequel: more of the same"
"That feeling of totally new, of completely fresh, is subdued. But this is the truth and in the end all that matters: if you can look beyond that, you're going to discover that Metroid Prime 2 Echoes is still one hell of an engaging, thrilling, and wholeheartedly"
Well isn't that ironic.
"Prime 2's beginning is disappointingly far less dramatic. A well-orchestrated real-time cut-scene illustrates Aran's approach to the largely unexplored planet of Aether. An electrical storm damages the heroine's ship and she's forced to set down. You take control from here."
"Much of the Dark World looks the same, which is a complaint"
Doesn't seem to be "every kind of awesome". At least I've accepted the Hunters isn't perfect.
Ages ago, I accepted that nothing, especially not video games, can ever be perfect (though some things been far closer than others. God of War, I'm looking at you). Echoes obviously isn't either, and I never said it was. It was indeed more of the same from Prime - Metroid Prime at that point practically being my favourite game of all time - but I found that almost everything was better than in Prime. Sanctuary Fortress in particular blew next to every area from Prime combined out of the water. The two other statments I don't really agree with - the Dark World was exceedingly awesome. Too bad there wasn't more of it, I'd have loved if every area existed in both worlds.

They only did this because I keep posting about Hunters. Hunters topics go in the Hunters board, but I know that just makes too much sense for people. Just keep kissing up, the mods like it. You too, tomatobob.
Actually, earlier we were generally just facepalming at your wall of text replies with pointless information, but we let it slide.
However, when you confirmed you were just making shit up, we decided to go through the trouble of collecting everything in one place and tossing it to where it really belonged.

Interesting that's now what you were saying a few minutes ago...

...wait, nevermind. It was awesome. Well I'm glad you don't think it's awesome now.

That's why I have evidence in my posts. On top of that, I believe I stated that I was using the information from Hunters to create theories based upon the data. I only said that I didn't care about the developers intentions since they could be very well have wanted me to do this or not; it is undecided.

Suck, Suck, Suck..
Two things:
A) Sociopathy again. I'm being a decent person here and respecting the people who've been a part of this community longer than I have. I'm also respecting the rules established by people who put them there. I'm not paying for the forums, so I can put up or get out. This applies to anyone who doesn't have a hand in M2K2's continued existence. Maybe you could just be grateful there's a community for Metroid fans instead of acting as though you're entitled to do whatever you want on someone else's site.
B) Your Hunters information is mostly speculation, which IMO is fine on either board, but the mods have said don't do it, so you shouldn't do it. You need to get this in your head: this is not your turf. You are not owed anything. If the mods shut down the boards tomorrow that is their call and any reasonable human being would just be grateful for the good times. Maybe you wouldn't be making so many enemies if you dropped the attitude of "I'm right and you all can suck it." It's seriously still feasible for you to grow up and show some dignity here if you just stop being a dick to everyone who disagrees with you.

Was, and of course still is. The good old "let's refer to current things as the past" which my family has been found guilty of doing numerous times in the past. That wasn't relevant.
"Every kind of awesome" still doesn't equal to "perfect" as I see it, but whatever...

Hunters topics go on the Hunters board. Interesting how half the other "theories" which have less evidence supporting them than my own aren't even located here. It's pure biased. Good Times? They've been doing this kind of shit since the beginning.

Making shit up is making shit up, loosely basing it on ingame data does not make it any less fanfiction.
Loosely based? Some of you weren't joking when you said "tl;dr". You know about school?

Pot calling the kettle black, eh? Yes, it is.

I do not kiss up to anyone, I find the actions the mods have taken to be amusing and I address them as such.
Kiss-up and suck up. Jeez, you're on a role.

No, the mod team is made of awesome and win.
Stop before something falls to the ground, Kenny may like it but really....too much isn't good.

Your attitude is what earns your posts the special treatment. If you weren't being a jackass I don't think they'd care. I'm saying this one more time, and then I'm done with this nonsense: you have zero say in what happens here. That is a mod's decision. There is no democracy on the internet.

Try citing your sources there. Fanfiction does not go on the board of the game on which it is based.

It is not grounded entirely in in game evidence, you admitted to making things up, so yes loosely based. Also no, the tl;dr were not entirely jokes because no one want to read walls of boring pointless fanfiction.
And I do know about school, the question is do you?
Quote:

No it is not. If I misunderstood something in one of your bouts of babbling nonsense it's your own fault for writing reference books on a message board. Considering how much time I have to waste, the fact that I consider reading the majority of your posts a waste of time is saying something.

There is a difference between kissing up and stating that something someone did was funny or awesome. I have nothing to gain from saying that their action were amusing, I did because they were, it's that simple.

I'm mimicking the attitude that has been given to me here. Seeing how you called me a "dick", you don't like this little conversation. I'm a nice guy, but a line has been crossed. When someone fucks with my posts, I will hate them until what was done to my posts is restored to normal. They haven't allowed me to post the data in the Hunters Board where it is meant to go; therefore, they crossed the line. Do you like in when people cross the line, or for that matter, fuck-up your posts?
Quote from tomatobob:
And I do know about school, the question is do you?
Yes, I do and I find it limiting. Seeing as how I can learn multiple AP subjects in the time it takes teachers to go over some of their material. As far as the rest of what you said about fanfic stuff, I've already addressed it. Also take a look at Kenny, he fails to address a point that he misunderstood that caused this shit to happen. Truly, this place is blessed.

You're missing the point of why I'm acting the way I am right now.

Would it be funny if they messed with all your posts? Would it be a big laugh then?

I read the post you're talking about a ton of times, trying to approach different conclusion of what it meant. But no matter what, I only reached "My story for Hunters is much better than what's actually in the game!"
