Thread title: 
I'll keep the spoilers down.

I endanger myself with such sentiments, but my the story does not excite my sensibilities so far.  Why does Mr Floaty just assume I'm going to help him?  I was so excited about the beginning, where the mission was clearly specified as a bounty, and not some gay (in the archaic sense) and delightful adventure to right wrongs and indulge in some vague technomystic egojourney.

One thing that always strikes me about newer shooters is how distracting detail really is.  I'm looking at a shocking level of artistry and effort placed into what is essential a static and meaningless 'hallway.'

What I mean is, the time is soon coming when game designers will have to abandon the concept of hiding secrets visually.  It's just too tedious to slog through all of this crap mentally looking for the juicy goodies.  Secrets need to be hidden experientially, with all of the components required to find a secret being unavoidably obvious, but combining in non-obvious manners.
How about new bosses?

Arrrgghh!!! And I can't change the poll either! I'm liking the bosses though. Somebody with administrator privileges put New Bosses on the poll please?
I liked the improvement with the Scan Visor and logs... And the breakdown in sections for the Log entries.

But I'm not the biggest fan of the spiderweb menu system, gets annoying after a while
the cinamatics, the new story holy cow!  Metroid is getting really in depth.  i yet have to see an actual metroid tho. bosses and enemies are a lot harder now, thats my favorite aspect.
rapid fire missle technique from prime 1 no longer usable
scan/dash jumping disabled, only found one spot in landing site to break but lead to nothing but super missle door.  so far Retro did their homework and the game appears to be unbreakable for the time being.
There's not even combat-dash-jump? Damn...

Does the infinite bomb jump work like in the demo?

What are you talking about! I can do both, although, it may not be that far, but I'm pretty much a n00b, so I wouldn't know.
If scan-dash is still in MP2, it BETTER be in the PAL version as well. I hope they don't screw us over again...

Yeah, and Half-Life 2 is awesome. :)
Just got Seeker Missiles. That sealed my vote :P.
I like the new everything!

Done. ^_^

And my Gamestop has yet to actually stock the game, so as soon as I finish beating the living crap out of them later today, I might get around to commenting on this thread.

Thanks Tim! You make the storm clouds go away! :D
What luck, there's french fry stuck in my beard.

Erm...  Scan Dash jumping isn't possible at all in MP2, and neither is rapid firing missiles (y,a,y,a)
One shall stand, one shall ball.
I like the new menu systems, it's just fun to play with those... If you meant actual game wise fighting the Ingonized Federation Marines is pretty fun.
I('d) like to watch (some MP3 runs)
My favorite thing about it is that it is out, so people can stop speculating about it, and go.
I just got a new beam combo and it seriously rocks. Dunno its effectiveness but 10 out of 10 on the cool scale.
Gogo Sonic Boom!

So many things to love in this game :D. Except U-Mos of course :?.
