It took me a lot of time to kill them and it found it tedious, also I believe you when you say you can kill those enemies in a short time, probably that's because you've played tha game a lot and you've learned to beat them fast. I can kill chozo ghosts pretty quickly, probably because I've played Prime1 a lot. I blame the game for not being fun enough to push me to learn how to kill quickly every enemy. In general I think backtracking in Prime 2 was tedious (compared to Prime 1 and 3), because in generally it takes more time to take down enemies, it's too dispersive and slow, you are often forced to take obligatory longer routes since you have to switch between light/dark dimesions, while in Prime 1 different areas are more interconnected and you can choose the path you want. Anyway, we have different opinions, it's not the end of the world. |
Maybe not lie, but you're not remembering things correctly. I can't blame you for not knowing that a charged dark beam shot can freeze dark pirate commandos), but the dark beam is coded to freeze any humanoid enemies at once, even if they're possesed by the ing (which are normally weak to light beam). It only takes one missile after that to kill them. So it doesn't take that much skill really! I hope this can increase your enjoyment if you ever decide to play it again. But pirate commandos are the ONLY enemies in the game to lock doors and it doesn't happen too frequently. Although I understand your frustration if you didn't know about the dark beam strategy. You made it sound like it was as bad as in Metroid: Other M, so I just had to speak out on it. Sorry if I sounded rude, was not my intention.
Yes, there was lot's of backtracking, but that's what makes Metroid Metroid to me. I'm always curious to know what I can unlock in previous areas with newfound powers. So I backtrack a lot even if it is not required.
And yes, MP2 frustrated me a lot as well during my first playthrough, that's why I love it so much lol. Some games just become a lot more fun after multiple playthroughs, especially when you're sequence breaking. I usually skip the entire Agon Wastes section (I just get the necessary powerups) when I replay this game lol.
