    Zeebees? Zebus?

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    like the second but with more of an "eh" sound, I guess

    In Other M it gets pronounced "zeb-ess".

    I'd say both make sense.

    so it's probably supposed to sound like "barrier", right

    what even went on with that mistranslation, anyway, did they just decide to keep it because it sounded cool (and "maru mari" didn't?)

  • King RiptorKing Riptor Registered User regular
    It could also be Variable suit as it allows you to traverse in enviroments with extreme tempratures but Barrier makes more sense

    I really need to finish that game off. But that means starting it. And finishing Prime 3.

    Nah, I don’t think he will. Looks like he’s using Metroid as a starting point to unpack what makes a good Metroidvania.

    Considering that the original Metroid spelled it "Zebeth" I'd say that "Zeb-ess" is correct

    the japanese is more than one syllable, yeah, although I dunno what the correct pronounciation of ゼーベス sounds like

    zee-bess is how I usually pronounce it, I think?

    Japanese is actually super consistent in their vowel pronunciations. A double vowel just means you hold the sound longer.

    A = ah
    I = ee
    U = ooh
    E = eh/ay (not real sure how best to spell this one out, it’s kinda in between those sounds)
    O = o

    Single U’s are typically shortened or even dropped completely from pronunciations, so Other M is pretty much right, though maybe hold the e sound in the first syllable a little longer than you’d think.

    Ou is a long O, but in katakana as above they just use that dash to indicate long vowels.

    Along the same lines a word with ei is a long E.

    So the Stardew Valley multiplayer update is officially out for PC today

    and they've announced that the Switch version is next up for the update, which is cool

    Hopefully sooner than later, but I guess we'll see

    several of the chozo statues can just be skipped, but it doesn't make for a very exciting first experience

    Fusion had the same problem but at least most of the time Adam was like "sorry, this isn't on the map. good luck dude!"

  • Moth 13Moth 13 Registered User regular
    I don't particularly mind if the game says "go in this direction" because it gives you a general area to aim towards but you still have to fill out all the blank spaces in the map yourself.

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    I liked zero mission's way of doing it more than fusion's but I would have liked it even more with an option to not have "go here next" waypoints at all, like the option to turn off hints in the Prime games.

    I have a condition where I react the exact opposite way to objectives than I'm supposed to. As soon as a game tells me "go here" I will do anything and everything but go there, to the point where I'm actively hurting my own enjoyment of the game by wasting a ton of time trying to find other places to go.

    Just, don't give me objectives unless I explicitly ask for them, video games.

    If a game has a "mission compass" or whatever, I will turn it on and then head in the opposite direction every time

    I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Breath of the Wild and Odyssey influence Metroid Prime 4. While the term is Metroidvania, Metroid and Zelda share pretty similar design spaces in terms of game mechanics and such.. and BotW just reinvented its half of the style. Hell, you could easily re-skin BotW and make an amazing Metroid game. So I wonder if the next Metroid will be similarly open, with only vague (optional) pointers of where to go, and the ability to set your own markers and maps. Conversely, Odyssey hid stuff EVERYWHERE, which is fun to explore, but it didn't do a ton of handholding off of the critical path.

    Basically, I want a Nintendo that trusts its players to be intelligent. I actually approve of things like the skip systems and easy modes in certain Nintendo games, but again.. OPTIONAL.

    It's been such whiplash watching the Grumps playing Skyward Sword and thinking of how the same company that made that would go on to make BotW and Odyssey.

    prime 4's being outsourced to bandai-namco I think? so I'm not holding as high expectations as I would for an actual nintendo studio project, but I still hope it will be good.

    Uh...

    What do you mean? I mean, Metroid's already characterized by this large, open-ended world where everything interconnects, you just need certain items to act as keys/checkpoints to advance.

    I dont agree with the overwrought despair but Metroid games are definitely not open world in the usual sense

    Areas are big and interconnected but everything is gated and in normal gameplay you need to do things in a roughly set order to progress

    "open world" carries a very specific connotation of game style even if you can technically describe a metroidvania's map as being a world that is fairly open

    I thought that was just a rumor? All we know is Retro is not working on it.
