Topic	so, Metroid: Samus Returns
OliviaTremor 09/19/17 4:38:42 AM #126:	Just beat Samus Returns. It was really, really good. That said, and here comes a major spoiler I thought the ending was way worse than Metroid 2. In Metroid 2, after you kill the Queen that's it. The baby hatches and absolutely, hauntingly beautiful music plays which is such a contrast to the rest of the eerie music in that game. There is no escape sequence, enemies or sudden surprises. It's just a beautiful scene that you play out as you return to the surface while the baby Metroid paves the way. Samus Returns, though, decided to just fuck everything for lack of a better word. First and foremost, the Queen's lair is flat out bad compared to Metroid 2. In Metroid 2 the lair felt incredibly unique. It felt like Tourian in a game that had, up until the last two areas, been comprised of caverns. It felt like a final boss zone. In Samus Returns... I don't even know what it was supposed to be. Boring? Definitely lacked any feeling of being a final area or hell, even an area of significance. Queen battle was alright and I'm glad they kept the 'bomb the stomach trick'. It's after the Queen that things get real dumb. While we do get the Metroid hatching and beautiful music, it's all kind of lost when there are enemies to kill and powerups to collect on your way out. Why the hell are there even powerups on the way out? It kills any surprise that there is one more boss coming, which is dumb in itself, but what's even dumber is that only your beam works on the upcoming boss meaning the powerups are useless. Oh and the final boss is Ridley for some reason. It's an okay fight, but all his moves are predictable. I miss the Super Metroid Ridley where there was no windup for each attack and the attacks were random. Then again Ridley shouldn't be in this game. The baby Metroid attacking Ridley is alright and kind of fun, but it seemed like it was aping the finale of Super Metroid in that regard and again it kills the innocence of the Metroid. I really, really would have preferred if they stuck to the Metroid 2 ending which was always my favorite gameplay sequence in the entire series. Oh well. Completed the game in 9:30 with 88%. I was going to do 100% but got kind of bored going back to different areas and collecting stuff so I decided to finish the game. --- Notyou <cite>OliviaTremor posted [p:886873090] in so, Metroi...
