OCH Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Well, I'm upto EMMI 6/7. Just to give an idea on where I am, stat-wise. Just got 100% item completion on Ghavoran, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCH Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It's funny, I'm not good at video games. I used to be. But the days of my Mega-Man 'buster only' runs are long gone. But I will pour over every corner of the map and keep repeating the mechanics until I understand them. As @mfnick mentioned with the controls, I had a few deaths and fails, when I kept getting the shoulder inputs wrong. I've gotten to grips with most of it now, aside from those leading to some of the more obscure secrets. Those related to Spoiler Shinesparking In particular. I'm not "getting" what they are expecting me to do. I'm sure with some of them, I'm just missing an upgrade. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I’m a bit annoyed the parts of the map flash where there’s a hidden item regardless whether you have the mechanic to get it yet or not. I’ve waisted so much time back tracking to something I can’t yet get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 On the one hand, I like that completely filling a map rewards you with the flash. However, some maps, that flash can be a little vague as to where it is and how you get it. As per the pic above, I have 7 "?". I know what they are, but until I unlock them, I can't use what I have. I've already seen about half a dozen secrets that require them, for me to be able to get the reward. I tried to brute force some flashes early on. The ones in lava, for example. Nope, the game didn't like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 19 hours? I thought it was 8-12hours? Or have you just been painstakingly checking every nook and cranny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of showing Map pics here. But, unlike the totals, it would be VERY spoilery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 People were mystified by my 20+ hour run of Samus returns. But I thought I got thru it quite efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I think I've got at least two areas left in the game. But I do recall all the run throughs and speed runs of Fusion, made it look like I left my timer on overnight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your playthrough did you find a secret pathway where Samus got off the planet and went on a weekend holiday somewhere? What did you do for 20 hours.

I think the 8-12 hours comes from the game clock which doesn't seem to include deaths. I'm nowhere near the completion level of OCH, I've not got lost that much, but I have died, quite often unfortunately. No doubt there'll be people who can beat it in 8 hours first go, but fuck those people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I hope I get 20 hours out of this as well and am certainly taking my time. I didn't wait four years (or 19 depending on whether you count Samus Returns as a new game) for a new Metroid game to go through it in a work day's worth of time. Speaking of, the game kind of starts drowning you in upgrades after the Morph Ball I think on average I got one every 10-15 minutes during my last sessions. One odd thing I noticed regarding the Spoiler Space Jump is that it takes priority over the wall jump, meaning you can't wall jump and then space jump which makes some traversal options less fun IMO but it doesn't impact playability.

I had loads less stuff than OCH at the end too, ~155 missiles. Went back to get some more, on about 200 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 If that’s the case then OCH’s actual time must be closer to 25 hours. Wowzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Man the purple one is a fucker. Lot of deaths before realising you have to use the thing to get by it. I was trying to be clever but as usual when I try being smart, I end up being really dumb. I did get the counter off on the Emmi, though. Nice 😁 Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think I got to the last boss last night, one attempt at it then figured it was better to just wait until after work. The previous boss kicked the shit out of me too. Annoying as I'd largely got the pattern down but was let down by the double jump too often, and 1 hit was taking off 2 health tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I just got the ability which makes the water sections bearable. Thank fuck for that, was starting to get really tired of all the water areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 As someone who took 50ish hours to finish TLOUP2 I know how 'checking every nook and cranny' can go @OCH haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
