made a thread months ago, saying that i was trying to start my first metroid game as it releases on the eshop, but unfortunately i will get super dizzy if i play 1st person on the tv (its weird as it wont happen when i play pc 1st person). i stop playing it after the 1st hour as i cant stand the dizziness.

However, with the help of internet and few testing, i finally found a way to play the game without getting dizzy, unless i play it for more than 3 hours. (for those who interest, i set the brightness and back light of my tv up, and adjust my chair so that my eyes are on same height with the TV. this strangely works)

As this is my first metroid game, it took me awhile to get used to the gameplay, and i finally finish the game on around 19 hours of play time, with 87% complete (kinda noob lol). i have to say i LOVE it, n i play 5 hours straight today as i couldnt stop myself playing it (and i got slightly dizzy after that, but still much better than before).

there are some ppl who complaine tooo much backtracking, and the metroid that will devide into 2 (dont know the name) were annoying, but i personally enjoy every single element of this game. The final boss was an amazing experience. i am glad that i found around 8-9 energy tank as the few last bosses took me awhile to figure out the way to beat them.

Anyway, while i love to try out prime 2 immediately, i decided to start Other M first as i want to take a break from first person game on TV.. the dizziness is like hell for me before i figure out the solution. Will definitely go back to prime series after i finish other M. just played 20 minutes of other M (to the first save point), and i realized that the gameplay is completely different from prime series (i m still trying to "scan" those monster whenever i encounter them zz), and maybe thats y so many metroid fans hate it? i am not really sure as i havent really get into the game. but as i m quite open minded is gaming, i hope i might still enjoy it :)

just wanna share my opinions after finishing such a wonderful game. definitely looking forward for next metroid game (NOT the 3ds federation)

Im so glad you loved it :) im a huge metroid fan and i love all Metroid games, Other M isnt as great as the others yes but i still enjoyed it alot and i had my fun time with it, im glad they experimented with the gameplay mechanics so we could get to try something new. Enjoy the rest of your time with metroid prime trilogy. Because the whole trilogy is amazing

 

i just played around 1.5 hours of other m and it is very very different from prime. i m quite confused at 1st, the level design and gameplay mechanic are way too different from prime. Need some time to adopt them.

Congrats! Glad you stuck to the finish. I know I had to restart the game several time back then but afterwards it became one of my favorite of games of the GC and remains the best of the series.

You should also download Super Metroid sometime too. Much faster pace and action reflexive than Metroid Prime but the same amount of exploration and atmosphere as Prime. The sprites are still amazing to look at to this day as well.

Oh wow, Super Metroid isn't on the european eShop? That sucks so much.

Nice to know you enjoyed Prime, though. I hope you have a lot of fun playing Other M (I haven't played it so I don't know the experience), because Prime 2 can get pretty annoying sometimes in my opinion... but it's still a great game though, obviously.

About the whole dizziness thing... the way you put it, you were pretty much implying you don't know why it happens, so if that's the case, seriously, go to a doctor please. Maybe it's nothing serious and you might not even need to "fix" it, but it's important to at least know why and how it's happening.

i think they have it on wii u but i m waiting it on the 3ds eshop..

after look through the internet, i realised that there are many ppl that will have motion sickness like i do when they are playing certain types of games, probably due to every ppl have different brains that works differently. thanks for the tips though!

Other M is only about 8-10 hours long so stick with it and you'll get a lot out of it IMO

It's one of the best games I ever played, but 2 and 3 are on par, maybe 2 even better. And glad you are playing Other M, after it I recommend you try to get Super Metroid as it is the prequel to Other M. All of this 5 games are amazing to me and the Metroid franchise is so good that it's almost on top for me (Zelda is #1 still, but not confident on the future).

Metroid Prime is fantastic, the best Metroid game along Super Metroid. Glad you enjoyed it.

Other M is a good game, but not a good "Metroid" game. It tried a different formula and I enjoyed it for what it was, but definitely had some negative points like:

-Very linear
-95% of hidden items are missiles
-Lack of music

But I enjoyed the story and the gameplay so I still recommend it.

Everyone will tell you Metroid other M is a let down, I will not.


me neither, I like everything about other M other than the way she goes about "unlocking" her gear, don't want to spoil it for you.

 

I need to get back to metroid prime 2 and finally get through it, and 3

The music, outside of the Ridley theme and the main one in the title screen (which is the actual Metroid theme), is very dissapointing. And yes, it's very linear.

But I agree that's it's a good game and I'd love to see a new game with the same gameplay, maybe some minor tweaks, but in general it feels good.

just play around 4 hours of other m as i m abit busy with my studies lately.
i somehow feel like it is quite similar with God Of War (ps2)... linear path with secrets to discover and few back tracking.. at this point i like prime muchhhh more than other m, but i will make a fair comparison after i finish the game.
