God, I have the feeling I'm not gonna play this game until AFTER my friend finishes it in total. I've been anticipating this game since it was first unveiled. I never had a doubt about the shift iN perspective.
So to anyone of you who did:
BOOOO ON YOU!!!!
....speechless....
I don't understand why some of you are having such problems with the controls in this game. I've probably played every FPS to come to console and PC alike and after an hour of playing prime, you aren't playing a FPS , you're playing metroid and I realized that the controls couldn't of really worked any other way.
Battles with space pirates can get crazy, but usually the L trigger will pick up enemies for me.
Alright later, must play before work
Next wekk. Have to wait till next week. Allready have too many games to play now !
I only wish I had as much time as you do with certain games to then post at light speed every single detail.Quote:

In fact, you really can't judge the overall battle system until you get to them, as they will put you to the test.Once you've scanned something its highlight becomes darker, so you know you've already read it. There's usually one-two new pieces of info in major rooms, hallways have nothing, and certain science areas have tons. You don't have to read a damn thing if you don't want to (aside from the ones needed to trigger events, and if you stick to only the red-highlight ones you'll have no problem), but they provide a ton of info on the Metroids, the Space Pirates, the planets, Chozo background... everything.
In regards to the control: My only problem has been that I have not been able to look at the scenery in the most convienent way. I mean solely looking at the walls and marvelling at the design, I have not had a single problem with them in any other way. Honestly, screw the C-Stick as freelook, it isn't needed in the slightest and wouldn't work anyway because of firing (like what Tonic was saying).
The death scene is so goddamn sweet, it scared the hell out of me once I started wearing headphones. Oh, and thermal imaging fucking rocks.
Hmm... debating becoming "sick" for work tomorrow.
Prime is awesome btw, definitely gives me that Zelda TOOT vibe and it captures Metroid PERFECTLY. Anyone who says otherwise can shut the fuck up.
I played a little more this morning, and the more I play the more I absolutely love this game. I've only played for a few hours, but I'm sure that the game will get even better the farther I get into it. If this is the case, this gets my preliminary vote for Game of the Year. It's already by far the best Gamecube game, nothing else comes close.
Prime is unbelievably gorgeous - I've not played much, but it's shooting up my personal All Time list very quickly.
I think the control is ace.
Funny, I had just been thinking "The only possible complaint I could have about this game is it isn't very difficult"
So naturally I just died, to some very vicious opposition :D
And that's on normal... I believe hard gets unlocked after you finish it. I'm thinking finish Prime on normal, go beat Fusion, play through Prime again on hard with the Fusion suit :)
I'm thinking this is going to be one of my favorite games of all time... after all the Zelda's naturally. Oh and Steel Battallion. :)
D
I was just thinking I'm five percent in at about two and a half hours (I dont' suck metroid causes me to take my time) and anyway yeah I was thinking...
I can't wait to see the poor jerk on gamefaqs who tries to make one of those clever html maps for this game.
