God tier games

The artifact bullshit in Prime is just really poorly done backtracking. I have much less of a problem with the Dark World in Prime 2 (which I think is most people's gripe with that one), and in some parts I think the mechanic works well. Though to be fair, it's been a while since I've played it so who knows what I would think now. 3 suffers from standard third-in-a-trilogy-itis.

So the Metroid Prime trilogy, is seriously great, but even as individual games, they're hardly perfect.

Honestly, to me, the metroid game I really loved was Zero Misson.
It took Metroid, a game that really is not all that great anymore, and fused it with Super/Fusion (lol) mechanics, making it one beast of a game. If I had to pick a favorite Metroid game, it might be that.

or super.... they're like super close

The 2d Metroid games are so fucking fantastic, I wish they made half as many of those as they did Mario platformers.

Starcraft rules too. It's possibly my favorite game ever when it was still new. So fucking much to do, custom maps were so amazing.

[strongbad]

yeah the custom maps in SCBW were really ahead of their time

brood war did it better than starcraft 2 lol

who else misses SUNKEND8WAY2004V1.2

Yeah after WC3 I knew we weren't going to get a true follow up to SC. I'm not sure what exactly made that game so fucking tight and WC3 and SC2 so dull.

i seriously love metroid prime to death but i fully acknowledge that its obligatory metroidy backtracking isn't done as well as super, not even close

there are other things about prime i love that keep it my second favorite game ever though

I still have yet to beat that ice beast.

Fantastic game but I hold Super, Fusion, and Zero over it. In that order.
