Since I’m abusing the guide to the game, it probably wont take me that long to get 100%. I just never really liked searching every nook and cranny for upgrades you don’t really know unless you really want the 100% ending.

All I REALLY want is 100% of scans on my first run, so I can ignore stuff and enjoy the game the second and third time around.

1262

Guides. D: That’s not so glorious. If you wait until there is no room for suit expansions on the Inventory Screen, it’s easy to go back and explore everything you didn’t get.

Especially if you explore Sky Town first. That way you don’t have to resort to getting assistance.

1263

So do you mean BEFORE you fight the last boss? I don’t like finding everything then, because you don’t feel like you get to use it for all the fun stuff. With the guide, I can feel like I don’t have to be conservative when fighting unless I feel like it.

But why Skytown first?

1264

Well no one is using spoiler tags anymore anyway, but…

1265

Doubling the framerate means doubling the number of polygons drawn per second meaning at the original framerate there could be twice as many polygons per frame. In general. (The only thing that would significantly make it otherwise would be if there was a serious lack of memory, which I don’t think is a problem on the Wii)

1266

Yeah, that’s what I meant; Wii games feel smoother.

1267

The Wii has 512mb if Im not mistaken. Anyway, I prefer a smooth game over a very pretty game. Scinematics are that much better ahen running at 60fps.

1268

Immpossible. You’ll be lucky if you but use it 30 times before the Skytown. Hyper-mode is the key to this difficulty.

1269

It was a Chozo warrior DISGUISED as Trace stealing Sylux’s ship.

Really, we don’t have enough information to act like we know for sure. >_>

EDIT: Oh. I see the conversation has moved on.

1270

Has anyone else noticed the Parasite Queen remains in Skytown where you get the Seeker Missile?

1271

It can’t be the parasite queen. What’s the scan say?

1272

Not “the” parasite queen. “A” parasite queen. There are at least 3 on the Frigate in MP, one of which you fight. It’s probably considered a pretty basic pirate experiment by the time MP3 happens.

1273

Something like “this unknown bioform is genetically very similar to a parasitic organism from Tallon IV”.

1274

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

K, so just beat omega ridley on veteran mode, and he was friggin’ hard that time around. I could never get a clean shot, and when I did, he was standing for a second, so I would either have to wait for an auto vent or expel my phazon (I have a bad tendency of getting corrupted). I came in with 7 or 8 energy tanks filled, and left with about 1 tank and 12 energy in the current one. He was a major pain in the censored for younger viewers!!! Anyways, I felt like retro brought back some of MP1, but it was different, which was good. It actually felt like it was concluding the series. Personally, I had fun with it.

(Note: End Spoilers)

1275

Well I was already playing on Veteran, how much harder could it be?

1276

I just beat ghor, and now I’m looking for the ship grapple and screw attack.

I noticed that all of the bosses are done really well this time around, very challenging and original.

But does anyone else feel like EVERYBOSS uses shockwaves?

1277

Much. >_> Just wait until the Disabling Turrets scene… I just about threw my controllers.

I noticed a tiny bit of overuse in the first and second Primes, but it was never nearly as bad as it is here. That and spinning dashes. >_>

1278

Those Turrents are annoying the way all the Space Pirate come at you, I hate those phazon gernades that they throw at you and sending you into hyper mode just like that.

Is hyper mode hard like something to do with the hyper mode since it has the name, what happen when you enter hyper mode in hyper hard?

1279

About 5 times harder. Believe me, Veteran does not even compare. For example, everything enters hyper-mode when it sees you. Your weapons do a third of the damage and you can’t kill pirates that are in hyper-mode unless you are in hyper-mode period.

@Daz, I only died once killing the turrents, but I was in hyper-mode the whole and I barely made it.

I stopped playing that difficulty and started Veteran. Veteran is perfect because it’s challenging but not too much so as to make it non-enjoyable.

@WOTW, It’s just fuckhard, making you use hyper-mode as much as possible, not a permanent hyper-mode (which I wanted >_<).

1280

Wow, it’s that hard? I’m sorta scared now. I’m still on normal mode, and I’ll prolly do veteran next just in case. But honestly, 5 times harder? And I’ve only seen enemy pirates enter hyper mode like 2 times so far. I assume it’ll happen more often (and other enemies will also).

But are enemies faster and stuff, or just more life?
