Games are serious bussiness !!!

Well, some of us came to a videogame forum to... you know, discuss videogames. I'm doing that thing where you make a point, then give reasons to support it. You don't seem to have anything of substance to contribute.

Indigo makes another good point: shooting rockets during cut scenes is a new concept, at least in Metroid and it is quite necessary for the scorpion boss. ADAM should have told about about that even if it breaks the 4th wall.

That's not really a good point, unless you think a game should tell you literally everything.

If you can press Y to fire during a cutscene, holding R to shoot missles instead is a pretty logical extension of that. 

Quick time events during cut scenes are common in gaming but not without button prompts and as a consequence you have to hammer fire buttons in every boss battle scene to discover these secret quick timers. Bad incentives and awkward design for a first run. Just give some prompts like any other game.
