Sign if you got Metroid, SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS CAPS

Spoilers:

I just welded the Aurora Unit, and fixed my ship. Where are the pieces of the bomb? It told me they were on a different planet.

Spoilers:

Uh... no, they're on Elisia. Different parts, two are already at the location you're at (the area, not the exact room you're in), and one is one a different area to fly your ship to. They should be marked by ? on your map.

Spoilers:

Meanwhile, I'm loving the Space Pirates' home base. Or at least, that's what they're implying you should believe. I love how the general automatically assumes you to take the position of destroying the generator so that they can attack it. He made it sound so professional. He would have had the same reaction from me even if he said "hey, you're down there anyways, destroy a generator so we can attack kthx."

Just beat the game tonight. Kind of disappointed. I had fun with it, but it seemed to be over way too fast.

Ditto for me. Want to exchange some Vouchers? PM me your Wii Code.

I beat it earlier, and to be honest I'm not sure where to rank it in the Prime series. It's definitely not as good as the first one, but still pretty solid. I really did not like all the stuff with the Galactic Federation, it felt very uncreative and lame, and the stuff with the Aurora Units ended up just being more confusing to the overall storyline than anything.

Thankfully it wasn't as linear as I thought it'd be, it really opens up after the first few hours. I'm more disappointed by what they didn't do, especially in terms of the storyline and connections to Metroid II and Super Metroid. I don't know why I should have expected anything better since Metroid games were never about storyline anyway, but (final boss spoilers)Spoilers:

after the Aurora Units were made out to look so much like Mother Brain, it's weird that the actual battle with one progressed nothing like a MB fight.

I really did enjoy it overall, sorry if it sounds like I'm nitpicking or *****ing. Gameplay was really fun, graphics and music were excellent and the token system is beyond awesome and is something I hope gets used in future games.

I got the game, beat it with a 100% run.
Spoilers:

The complete ending has something ominous in it. What is with that ship that follows Samus?

Next up, I go through Veteran then Very Hard modes!

About the 100% ending and what it means:

Spoilers:

The ship that follows Samus belongs to Sylux, a character from Hunters (ugh). I'm not sure what it means exactly since Hunters takes place before Prime 3. Metroid Dread hint perhaps?

Ok I spent 2 hours stuck in Sky Town last night. Don't know what to do.

Spoilers:

I can't get to the Pirate Base. How do I get there?

The final battle would have been at least x5,000 more epic if
Spoilers:

Instead of some random Aurora Unit, the AU stolen by the Pirates (I forget the number) was actually a GF reconstructed Mother Brain. And there'd be some sort of 'betrayal' esque story revolving around it (like in Metroid Fusion when Samus finds out the GF is secretly breeding Metroids). God I'd love to see Mother Brain in 3D ;__;

One thing about the ending I don't get:
Spoilers:

Ok, Dark Samus 'died' in pretty much the exact same way she did Prime 2 (exploding into particles), so why did she 'die' this time? Why not just re-form like in Prime 2? Or is the destruction of Phaaze to blame?

Overall the middle of the game was great, but the beginning and ends weren't so wonderful. Not bad or anything, just kinda mediocre. :V

I'm not sure which Prime is my favorite now. I guess Prime 1 still, though all three were really good. To say the least, Prime 1 definitely had the best music, and 3 definitely had the least memorable music of the trilogy.


Also, I'm pretty sure this has been posted somewhere, but

That + the 100% ending makes me think there'll be another Metroid game, not that I didn't think there was going to be though :V

*resisting to read the later spoilers*


Despite only getting to play for roughly two days, I'm already at the end of Skytown.

Spoilers:

I had to go just before landing in the Leviathan Seed. :\ Defending the spire was awesome, though. Phazon Metroids are the first species of Metroid to actually make me dislike them.

And I won't be able to play again until Friday.





None of our friends have the game yet, so no green token things yet. Once I save enough up, I really want

Spoilers:

Ship bumper stickers, or whatever it was :3

I dunno, I liked how the music in Prime 3 was a lot more ambient and it seemed like a good mix of Super Metroid's music and Prime's standard techno stuff. Agreed that Prime 1 had the best soundtrack overall though.

But man, I really want an mp3 of Prime 3's title screen music

From what I've heard, none of the soundtrack really stands out. I can't recall a single melody save for the classic Space Pirate stuff.


Speakin' o' which:
Spoilers:

Anyone else notice they used the EXACT same track for Meta-Ridley from the first Metroid Prime? Not that it's bad, I just expected a new one. Still epic battle.

I'm not saying the music was poorly made or anything, there just weren't any memorable songs, exactly like Peardian said

Also what were some remixed songs? I didn't notice any similarities to any Super Metroid music (aside from Ridley's theme) o:

MP3 is out!?!

Spoilers:

I decided to take breaks in between levels so as not to go through the game to fast. Skytown was epic and very well designed, and when the AU told me to go to the spire and wait I knew I was being set up

Music wasn't as epic as I'd hoped, but epic nonetheless.

It came out August 28th.

Spoilers:

Whats in the Vhalhala that you need all those energy cores for?

Major, near ending Spoilers:

Access codes to take control of some Space Pirate satellite to open a wormhole to Phaaze, the homeworld of Phazon. It's exactly like the Cipher or the Sky Temple Keys of the previous two games; you need to get all of the Energy Cells to progress

Well the biggest one is that
Spoilers:

The pirate homeworld is a remix of Crateria from Super Metroid (the Crateria song that plays shortly after the space pirates first appear in that game)

And the Super Metroid main theme pops up in a couple of places

Yep, you'll hear some faint note-scales when you're in Samus' ship, that are the exact same ones as the Super Metroid Samus' story song.
