Khuutra said: I ran past them because I always treat lava areas as time trials, pre-Varia. I really liked the bit with the fish, though. THat part was great. I love me some Team Ninja. |
Yeah, that part was fun. No doubt about it. Died once though (when you're running through the inital bridge area and he comes up through the bottom. Didn't see that coming, even with the slow down. )
Though it was in the Pyrosphere where the whole Adam-system really showed its flaws. I mean, you go through half the level without the Varia suit upgrade (which, as far as I know, doesn't seem to have the potential to harm any of your comrades if you had it equipped to begin with). Why does Adam let you suffer through half the level before granting its power to you? Why wouldn't he think this through?
"Okay, Samus is going into an area with extreme temperatures, she'll need the Varia suit to keep her safe (and make sure my mission has a higher percentage of success.) I should probaby give her the necessary tools to be as successful as possible."
But no, that doesn't happen, and I rolled my eyes every time I saw my health start to deplete. I was thoroughly annoyed.
I sort of understand not having something like the Super Missile and the Power Bomb, but the grappling beam? The double jump? Come on, this is just silly.
The "losing your tech through some unlucky encounter" theme might be cliched by now, but to me, it's easier to swallow than this Adam system.
