Sure, they COULD recode the font to be smaller, but that takes extra work!

But X3 was overall the most metal, right?

Except that you can only do that after beating the game twice to unlock Extreme Mode or during the final levels =P

No, you can also buy Extreme Mode for a few thousand Soul Gene Whatevers.

Down+jump is fine and all for dashing, but you can't dash jump after that.

It would work if X automatically dashed for the full distance like Original Megger, but no, he has to stand up whenever you let go of the button, yeah?

I don't think that, barring Xtreme1, there is such a thing as an X-series game with a bad soundtrack.

And Xtreme's soundtrack is okay as long as you aren't actually playing and thus not ruining the music with interruptions from sound effects!

You rate X3's boss theme a LOT higher than I do, as I think it's the worst...in possibly all of MM.  It goes absolutely nowhere.

It doesn't have to, it's a boss theme!  It should be the same rockin' poundin' melody over and over, to match you getting pounded by the boss over and over.

X4 was made in the same style, so to speak, as X1-3. it was the same style. X5 then expanded the universe.

Is "expanded the universe" the new term for "jumped the shark"?

No, I don't like the recoil!  It makes it harder to figure out the frame-perfect way to make a tool-assisted run when charging up sets you back.  Though I bet managing the timing of the boomerang fist is harder, so I haven't even tried the fifth game with tool assistance yet.

Xtreme 2 was good, but it wasn't THAT good!  It was on par with World 5 at least.

Oh yeah, that was my pet theory, that they leave so little empty space on the cart that something has to get thrown out to make room for new text.  At least whenever the reason's not "It requires this peripheral, and we're not releasing this peripheral in other regions because it won't sell enough!"

Visit Elec Man's stage again, use Thunder Beam on the blocks to the Magnet Beam. Use buster on CWU-01P. ^^

What you mean is, without visiting a stage two times. You should be more specific next time. >v<

Haha, I discussed this on Confuse Reviews just last night too.

Then again, you could also get the Magnet Beam without using any weapons if you can do the Up+Down trick to zip into the wall!

The first thing I thought of was this Game Overthinker video.  Though it's not so much that Metroid has gone "bad", but that it doesn't really stand out anymore.  That fits, right?

I still think requiring parts for unarmoured X runs in X6 is stupid. Not undoable, or difficult to figure out, but just flat out annoying that you can't finish everywhere in the game vanilla.

Then X1 is annoying too, because you're forced to pick up those boot attachments before you're done!

Is it Ed and Al's half-brother?  Or is it that dragon from the movie, just like how Gluttony was that giant monster Gluttony in the movie?  Er, wait...

How about Sigma's bones are scattered all over the world for some reason, so you have to collect all the bones, so you can resurrect Sigma, so you can kill him again.  Does that sound like a good game story plan?

Shouldn't the title of this thread be changed to something like "The All-purpose thread of Full Metal Alchemis" or something? I mean, we haven't discussed brotherhood in over a month

Uh, yeah, or maybe split the anime posts from the manga posts, because I look for comments on the show here, but I end up seeing spoilers from waaaaayyyy later on in the story.

Yet, I watch Shin-Chan on Adult Swim, but I don't watch it much.

And I heard Adult Swim just lost the rights to show Shin Chan last month!  How disgraceful!
