The Metroid Dilemma
For the past few days i have been seriously thinking of just giving up Metroi Prime 3. Why? For a few reasons.
1. Saving system may be the most crucial one. The game forces you to play for a considerable amount of time and then reach a saving point. I hate that. You can’t have small junks of play at a time. You need to invest a minimum of around 1 hour at a time to play Metroid which is especially difficult on weekdays.
2. The game is not that good. If it wasn’t for the controls i don’t think i would be playing it. The controls are carrying the game.
3. Backtracking. Going back to planets you visited before to open sections you could not complete because you lacked the equipment at the time is not something i like doing. I want to be able complete the planet and then move on to new areas not having to go back and revisit the same areas just to unlock a small section.
4. Bosses. Marathon, pattern style bosses. I have mentioned it last week how much i hate bosses but Metroid brough back memories. Bad memories. Boring and tedius.
So we come to the dilemma.
Should i continue this sometimes frustrating, filled with marathon bosses, lots of backtracking game for the sake of the controls? Or should i just give up on it (30% completed) and move on to something else?
I am listening.
