 | 8bitplay 12 Jun 2021 22:32 Dude, i'm going to play this game for a looong time. | ||
 | Ultros 22 Jun 2021 04:51 Love this game. Not expecting a mastery anytime soon but I'll at least get all the no-damage and 100% achieves. The 15% and speedrun ones are probably out of reach for now. | ||
 | Dumelax 27 Jun 2021 12:19 The announcement for Metroid Dread built so much anticipation within me that I had to get my Metroid dose early. Last retro Metroid game mastered! | ||
 | Guileless87 8 Jul 2021 04:46 Me too. I just had to play this after Dread being announced. | ||
 | Zyvyn 18 Aug 2021 19:01 This is going to take a good 10 playthroughs :/ | ||
 | Ness64 18 Sep 2021 07:37 Mastered! First time I ever did a 100% sub-2 hour run, that was INTENSE | ||
 | Sachiel 22 Sep 2021 21:07 This Set was perfect, great job. it guided me through everything there is to see in the game. it wasn't as hard as i expected either. took me 29 hours in total for the whole set (15% bosses are a pain in the ass). Game was awesome aswell | ||
 | Dimitroid66 9 Dec 2021 03:31 Mastered! | ||
 | AntonioFNN 12 Dec 2021 06:41 The hardest Metroid I've ever played | ||
 | Veldt 18 Dec 2021 03:20 Mastered. 15% Hard Mecha Ridley... never again. | ||
 | MoriyaFaith 28 Dec 2021 22:01 Haven't mastered yet. Easily going to be a really hard one to. damageless bosses are absolutely brutal, doing it on hard makes it even worse.... | ||
 | PlamzDomino 29 Dec 2021 08:34 The Bosses in this aren't actually that hard, It's just Mecha-Ridley at the end which is a problem who buy the way, Is harder depending on how much you have collected in the game i think. | ||
| MoriyaFaith 1 Jan 2022 06:49 My personal problem is with Mother Brain. Dodging rinkas is hard for me. Then again, I might just need to get better at the game to do so. | ||
 | Kamikoopa 22 Apr 2022 05:50 Why aren’t any of these marked with (M) for missable? Or are they not and you can do something later? Or are retro achievements inconsistent in being marked with (M)? | ||
| Dumelax 22 Apr 2022 09:12 I mean in a set that asks you to complete the game with all items under 2 hours under each difficulty setting there aren't many in-game places that take a long time to reach | ||
 | Mihoteo 27 Apr 2022 20:57 That depends on the authors whos gonna mark trophies with [m] iirc. But usually i see at least hitless fights marked as [m] | ||
| Kamikoopa 27 Apr 2022 23:05 I thought retro achievements would have governance to all authors, like achievements must be doable by the author. Everything must be marked with (M), no glitch achievements, etc. That’s all I was thinking. But if it’s inconsistent then now I know! Personally, I’d mark all boss fights as (M). Let’s the player know the boss is not “repeatable” in the same save file. | ||
| Mihoteo 27 Apr 2022 23:12 Well maybe they are not repeatable but in metroid i dont think you can skip any boss except Mua without glitches. So you will get them anyways. Everyone can contribute here so i think glitched trophies will happen. I already found couple in dragon ball advanced adventure. | ||
| Mihoteo 27 Apr 2022 23:12 And still you can return to Mua | ||
 | MatheusBrazuca85 27 May 2022 17:17 GG mastered, insane how easy 100% hard mode speedrun is if you compare to Mecha Ridley + Black Space Pirates on 15% | ||
