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. 


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