No fair! England gets a better Prime!

Ginrei · 03-07-2003, 09:34 PM

Well, not so much better as HARDER, but...

Quote:

- According to Nintendo of Europe, the UK version of the first-person adventure title Metroid Prime will ship later this month with a host of notable enhancements. The end result could make for a significantly more polished and difficult experience.
We've compiled a list of the additions below:

-Defeated enemies don't drop as many power-ups as the US version; less ammo and energy
-Stronger enemies: it takes more shots to eliminate certain enemies and their attacks are more powerful
-Faster loss of energy when walking on acid or lava
-Some doors will now require multiple shots to open just like in the SNES game
-Hint system refined: it takes 10-15 minutes longer for hints to appear when players are stuck
-Gamers can skip cut-scenes after they've played through once
-Includes speech: English speech for the intro and voice output when scanning objects and adding them to the log. Also, a voice notifies players when doors are locked and unlocked and there is an added voice for the ending of the game

*sobs* I WANT MY GAME TO HAVE VOOOOICE!

*debates whether she's rather have the easy version, or suffer with the hard version and have voice...*

You know,why don't we just all move to England and buy it,then move back and rub it into everyone's faces that our game is better?

03-08-2003, 01:16 AM

It's not unfair, seeing as you guys get games like, half a year before us.

03-08-2003, 10:51 AM

......dude your all nuts! that game sound retardly hard!! I rather play MP only using my tounge!

03-08-2003, 12:46 PM

Finally, something worthwhile that Europe gets over the US!

*hopes that this isn't an isolated occurance and that David Gosen really has taken his head out of his ass*

Dear GOD, you've obviously never played the old metroid games. Metroid Prime is TOO easy, with the exception of Omega Pirate.

I WANT THE VOIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!

03-08-2003, 02:13 PM

Its okay the English all have crappy breath and rotting scrotums.

No, you know what's not fair? Japan got a bunch of extras for Prime and Fusion that were eliminated from the US version. Prime lost a few gallaries, while Fusion had a hard mode with a different set of endings that revealied info on Samus's childhood!

WHY?!

03-08-2003, 03:50 PM

Damn you Japanese. Damn you and your knowledge of Samus' childhood!

'tis true. It took me about a week to finish Prime(and I suck at FPSs anyways) whereas, when I beat Super Metroid one summer ago, it took me nearly a month.

No fair? I hardly think so.

-Defeated enemies don't drop as many power-ups as the US version; less ammo and energy

I'm not particularly excited by this change.
-Stronger enemies: it takes more shots to eliminate certain enemies and their attacks are more powerful

Ah...no, I'm happy with the enemies as they are.

-Faster loss of energy when walking on acid or lava
That makes sense, but I'm not entirely bothered we don't have that.

-Some doors will now require multiple shots to open just like in the SNES game

Ah sou...that's nice and all but not something that'd make me scream "no fair."

-Hint system refined: it takes 10-15 minutes longer for hints to appear when players are stuck

Eh...

-Gamers can skip cut-scenes after they've played through once

That's a nice addition.

-Includes speech: English speech for the intro and voice output when scanning objects and adding them to the log. Also, a voice notifies players when doors are locked and unlocked and there is an added voice for the ending of the game

I'd love to have the voice.

First file, I racked up 17-18 hours. Ugh. But I suck at both CPU and ESPECIALLY console, so that was good. I haven't beat SM YET and I started before Prime.

So he's right. And he's right about me being right, heh. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Luck Brits, I'm jealous of you guys.

Zavval · 03-09-2003, 04:02 AM

I want the voice.

We American's will from this day forward want "The Voice."

03-09-2003, 09:43 AM

I mean this over seas version sounds gayass hard!, childhood? japan? ..... Im so angry right now.... so very angry.... *smashes a holes in the printer and ink squirts out*

Ginrei · 03-09-2003, 02:51 PM

*feels sheepish because she got Prime at Chistmas, and STILL hasn't beaten it yet... is looking for artifacts...*

I... I dun think Prime is too easy...

03-09-2003, 05:54 PM

It's not just the Brits, you know. All the Europeans get this version.

03-09-2003, 11:19 PM

Sorry my mistake. Thanks for correcting me.
