I'm not going to reply further after this because it's not the right thread and to be honest, anyone who honestly thinks Echoes is a better game than Prime is absolutely out of their mind. That's not a good visual clue. The game never tells you she has any attack other than the phazon one, and since she's entirely made of like, phazon, it makes sense to think that the attack you should be absorbing is like, you know, the one she's actually using. But then it doesn't work once, twice, three, four times in a row and the naturally frustrated player thinks there's something wrong, as there are so many things wrong with this game. And about the time, I know it's not 4 minutes. However, it's 8 counting from the start - naturally, during the process of escaping the tower, trying to jump right with the ridiculously awkward screw attack, getting to Dark Samus and beating her first (third?) form and scanning her fourth when you realize she changes, that takes a while. I don't remember how much time I had left when I first got to the unfair part, but it was certainly around 4 or 5 minutes. By then, I already got frustrated as the boss felt broken and I just couldn't take that game any longer. It was just annoying, unpleasant to play, with some really bad level design and EASILY the worst Metroid game I've fully played so far. Prime 3 was a big improvement, but because of it's lackluster second half it fails to come even close to the first game. |
You're honestly the first person I've ever heard complain about the final Dark Samus boss fight in that game, so I think YOU are the problem here, not the game.
You asked for textual clues, I gave you one. You asked for visual clues, I gave you one.

Watch this (and subscribe :p), there are plenty of people who like Prime 2 better or think it's on par with the first game. Feel free to take it to my wall, as long as you keep it civil. Stuff like the bolded part in your post is unneeded and unasked for.
