gotta love when the Gamecast malfunctions on a play

like how they said Myles Garrett sacked Teddy Bridgewater for an 80 yard loss

My favorite gamecast stuff is when they'll randomly go into detail on a play, like such and such WR caught a 13 yard pass "on a slant route"

Okay! Last week done, it wasn't quite as high scoring as I thought it would be. Most people got 9 or fewer, but we had 5 people top the board with 12 wins! Upset of the week, tgs2 was the only person to pick the titans for their improbable comeback! Good job!

From what I read the average game length is a tick over 3 hours. That's not really any different than an NFL game I believe. The problem to me is that, while in the NFL the downtime is actually used for gameplanning (Huddles), in baseball there is a lot of extraneous time and movement that contributes to a long time. Lots of lollygagging in and out of the batter's box, no adherence to a pitch clock, meaningless arguments between a manager and umpires and making a big spectacle of it...I don't really care about the overall length of games, but the time between just feels empty, it feels lazy. And I don't really see a good reason for it unlike the nfl where they're coming up with the next play. It probably wouldn't amount to much time saved, but it's not about the time but the pace.

Do I want to charge it or just shoot

If your'e asking me which is optimal, I have no idea what the damage output is, or even what a charge shot is vs a missile. But it feels good to mash the button so that's what I did on some ill-fated runs. Both "work" though, like he's not immune to normal shots in that phase.

I may have missed it, let me go check, thougth I had it down

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

Okay, I am ready to spew my thoughts on the game, and I'm going to lead off with the criticisms. These are all minor and didn't really affect my enjoyment of the game that much, it's just things I'd have done different were I in charge.

As it's been said, remappable controls, where are they? I'm not going to go change my whole switch's buttons for one game and change them back whenever I want to play a different game. That said, the only reason I'd want it is because it's kind of tough to jump and hold a charge at the same time. I'd rather have remapped shoot to like...zr or something, I think someone in here suggested that as really the only thing you use ZR for is the grapple beam.

2nd on the list, and this is a bit more spoilery in terms of powerups, I felt like there was a really high amount of "padding" powers that are just tide-overs until you get the actual thing you want. I get that they probably did this to expand the scope of puzzles they could use, but it's just really a lot of powers on the whole. Diffusion beam (wave beam), cross bombs (power bombs), and spin boost (space jump) all feel like they're just placeholders until you get the better version. And I realize this isn't even new, high jump is sort of that way for space jump too. Fusion had diffusion missiles which were useless on the main path except for the one area outside the data room you get them. But I just feel like there was a bit of an oversaturation of powers. When I got the pulse radar and it was mapped to the D-PAD? That's when I started to go "okay, this is a bit much." Also related to powers, I also felt some of the powers fell by the wayside on the main path. I don't recall very many necessary speed booster puzzles, those all seem like they were relegated to getting all the tanks. And I really don't like manually having to activate the speed booster, though I appreciate other changes made to it. But because the speed booster was so unnecessary, it was pretty much only useful when I had a big long opening or closing corridor to run down and wanted to run faster. I didn't ever feel the need to use it, which is a shame.

Finally, I'm not really fond of the choice to make widespread use of hidden blocks, at least before you get the pulse radar. I get the game tells you straight up "Hey if you're stuck, try shooting literally everything" but that is not an enjoyable experience. It's not dark souls level of hit everything for bull**** hidden passages, but it's still not enjoyable. Generally the game is good enough about leading you on that you kinda figure out where the rooms are, but it does get a bit frustrating at times. There are some rooms that don't really stick out as being obvious "false dead end" type rooms. I'd rather them have either toned this aspect down or just made pulse radar the first aeion powerup you get.

All that being said, this is a fantastic game. The gameplay is smooth and phase shift is an incredible power both functionally and visually. They went pretty much everywhere I wanted them to go with the story which was my major investment, I loved the midgame exposition and samus TALKING, it made for a great wham line. I also loved how the stakes suddenly changed once the X get released, it goes from "Try to survive these robots and figure out the chozo dude" to "Oh crap the entire universe is going to die." That shot of all the x leaving Elun en masse, as if a storm was brewing, was incredible. And then the entire ending sequence was great, Raven Beak was a smackdown, drag-out, no holds barred type of final boss you love to see, and I had a hunch samus would have metroid powers but the metroid suit might be my favorite suit she's ever had. The scene of her screaming mad and sucking energy out of THE ENTIRE SHIP is probably my favorite moment in the whole game. I didn't really see the "ADAM is raven beak for most of the game" twist but I did get a funny feeling I couldn't quite pin down at some of Adam's lines during the game. I did really like though how after being impersonated the whole game, the REAL adam is still aware of what's happened to samus and keeps her from using her metroid powers on her own ship by instinct. It was probably really hard for her to hold back sucking up literally everything but adam managed to keep her from doing it. Finally, the end with Quiet Robe-X does kind of come out of left field a bit imo, but not that much, and I like how they held it back until the very end since you see him get infected quite a bit earlier.

Overall, this game is pretty much everything I wanted as a fusion sequel. I never played super metroid, which I understand is pretty universally the top metroid game for most people, and that this game tried to emulate it as much as possible, but I would be shocked if I went and played it now and liked it better than this game. This game just does so many things right it might be my favorite metroid even over fusion. And this game wasn't even made particularly for me, since I'm not quite fond of sequence breaking but there is a lot of that here because lots of people like it and hated the linearity of fusion, which is part of what I actually really like about fusion (again I know I'm way in the minority there). So it's not even to my exact tastes and I still like it better than fusion. I feel like there was a good blend of linearity and open-endedness.

Just beat the game

I have some minor criticisms on the whole but I will wait to say those, that entire final boss fight + ending sequence is just incredible, samus going ham on raven beak while draining the entire ship is bananas.

Metroid suit samus might be my favorite power suit

Also we very nearly had a scorigami in Browns/Chargers.

47-42 has only happened one other time, and it was last year in Browns/Ravens, the infamous Lamar Jackson poop game.

If the kicker had just made the XP then we had a REALLY good chance, I think the 42-42 tie and the 49-42 inevitable score were both scorigamis

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

I got it as my first switch and I'm loving it. It took me a bit to figure out you take the cover off and that's whree the HDMI stuff goes but after that it's been a breeze. I super love the grip it comes with to make a small controller because I have small hands so the grip with the joycons in it fits me perfectly.

I also like the white/black scheme a lot better than the red/blue/black of the original.

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

Think about it this way: A single college team having lots of players drafted high is considered a huge deal to the point that team is considered OP in college. And yet lots of high picks don't even play at all in the NFL their first year, let alone at an NFL caliber. Like what was it, clemson a few years ago when they had that epic WR corps with Lawrence? That was considered bananas. And that was like 4 players out of a necessary 22-ish needed to compete with an NFL team, and even those guys, even lawrence who was the best of the bunch, is struggling right now in the NFL.

There is just no way it's happening.
