So, before I get started, just so you know, LTTP stands for late to the party. It's a thing I've seen some people do on NeoGAF and I thought it would fit well with this thread. Also, *SPOILERS*. Anyways...
I just beat Metroid Prime for the first time. Wow. I just gotta say, that ending was epic. The metroid prime's first form was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen, and the whole battle was so intense. I think I finished on under 12 energy. Yikes. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I picked up MP Trilogy all the way back almost a year ago during Black Friday. It was a highly praised collection of games, and I loved Super Metroid, so I thought I should try it. The beginning was pretty cool and it was a pretty good thrill for a while. But around halfway into the game it started to lose its charm for some reason... I think all the backtracking and wandering aimlessly (at least in my case, as I'm terrible at this type of exploration-based game) turned me off. So I didn't play it for a loooooooong time, until a couple weeks ago when I decided I should give it another go. I figured out what I was stuck on (with the help of a few trusty Google searches...) and continued. I started unlocking stuff again right away and it was awesome! The whole Ridley --> Crater --> Metroid Prime thing reminded me of Super Metroid where you beat Ridley then go straight to Tourian and fight Mother Brain. The whole ordeal was so intense, creepy and exhilarating. Even if the middle of the game got me stuck, the game as a whole is an experience I'm very glad I didn't miss.
So now, should I go straight to Echoes or would Corruption be a better fit for me? I've heard Echoes is much creepier and harder. I don't want to be turned off by getting stuck again, so if Echoes is less intuitive or harder than Prime, I'm not sure I should play it just yet. Anyways, thanks for reading this far, and please discuss your thoughts on the game below!
