Voting meh. Entertaining, but the pacing was off. A great run, but a poor choice of game imho.

It was in directx mode, but what's the difference?
For me, DirectX syncs. OpenGL doesn't.
Hmm. Well I'm capturing it now with direct64. I'll try rice in openGL later but I don't want to stop what's in progress. so far it's at the sonata of awakening (frame 156k)
Thank you, finally!

What's the status on publication, i.e. is the AVI file causing trouble? EDIT: I have seen the whole thing now, from start to finish, and I must offer my congratulations to you Mukki. Well done, sir! Like others have said, the best part is the brilliance of the route and all of its subtleties. I especially enjoyed the last 20 minutes which were incredibly insane and entertaining. A huge yes vote from just another WIP watcher, and good luck with v2! It'll be a lot of fun to see that one evolve...

Can you please tell me your specs and screenshot the plugins? Sorry, but that is all I can think of.

I'll wait for the AVI.
...did you miss my link like 6 posts ago? That's the entire run.
I'm waiting for an AVI file WITHOUT massive A/V desynchs ;) EDIT: Trying it w/ Rice 6, hope it works. EDIT2: Rice doesn't work, this is ridiculous, I'll wait.

The reason I played it as long as I did was because there were many many people saying that it got better and it was really good once I got the hang of it, and so forth, so I kept going. In 3D games especially, I lose my sense of direction constantly. Maybe I just suck at 3D games :)
It's the GameCube that sucks at first-person controls.

I found Metroid Prime 3 good, but much the same as the two games before it. It also seems a bit too easy at times.
Were you playing on Normal or Veteran?

Edit: Also, I do find it interesting how you specifically target JXQ even though there were others that also agreed with his point of view.
Because JXQ had the best (and funniest) opinion. I mostly agree with him on the subject of the first Prime, and was wondering what he felt of the third. Beyond that, I also wanted to say that I believe that 3 kicks the first's ass in every single way.

I am currently 6 hours into Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and loving every minute of it. I was wondering whether JXQ, after reading and rereading his scathing yet pretty much true anti-Metroid Prime article (there Raiscan, now my opinion is known), would appreciate the changes that Retro has made to the Prime formula for this game. Most (though, to be fair, not all) of JXQ's complaints have been fixed in this edition: First Person Perspective Obviously not changed, though it's a little less awkward to double-jump now because you can look down at your feet while jumping. And if you have the camera at a good angle, you can see exactly where you need to jump. Visor effects and Stupid impractical visors The scan visor is less of a bitch. Scannable stuff glows brighter, making it easier to see rather than randomly hitting Z trying to scan stuff (you can also see Samus' reflection, blinking and her eyes shifting while scanning - take that, Bungie LOD artists). Also, even though the Command Visor is night-vision green, landing points for your ship are bright and visible against the epileptic lavender (though I agree that this colour scheme wasn't exactly the best choice). Every door looks the same Not anymore. The doors in every area are different, and there are often two or three different door designs for one area. Not exactly diverse, but it's a start, Retro, it's a start. Artificial challenge Enemies are harder to kill, but there are less of them and they have clear weaknesses. With the new controls, it's easier to pull off headshots while locked on to a target (though HS's don't often kill an enemy). Field of vision Sadly, not much change here. You can see a bit more, but not much, and the screen isn't curved around Samus' helmet, but it's still annoying. The game is too dark Bryyo and Elysia are bright and sunny, while Norion has a more UV-ish glow but not dark. Too much shit on the screen Said shit is now smaller and thrown on the sides of the screen, leaving the more important parts (i.e. the centre) clear. Shitty shitty shitty shitty controls Entirely new control scheme is incredible. I never want to play dual-analog FPS's ever, ever again. So...what do others (especially JXQ) think of this game? It's no Super Metroid, I agree, but it's easily the best Prime, and that non-port killer app the Wii has been waiting for.

Interesting idea. I propose the new version (because Hanzou just figured out how to skip Pewter gym, so a new version is implied) have audio commentary.
Holy fuck, just when I thought the game was completely broken...

There's only two words I request: audio commentary, explaining what the fuck you're doing, how and why. Even after thoroughly reading your comments I still don't understand *sobs at own stupidity* Oh yeah, and the run was very entertaining too. Yes vote from me.

Holy shit, the final movie is going to be awesome. Alright, dumb question: what's the projected time of the run?

This run can be described in exactly three words: NO FUCKING WAY!!! This run is incredible, revolutionary, whatever you want to call it. It has defied all possible conceptions of 16-star running. Congratulations to both of you for your excellent work. Add my name to the list of "have-my-babies" votes.

Let's let Kreacher do the talking: "Tearing apart my beloved franchise like a Kneazle on the sidewalk, befouling the books of my brothers, oh my poor mistress, what would she say if she knew, oh yes, she wouldn't be happy at all, would she, knowing what they were doing to her two decades of work?" Okay, Kreacher tends to exaggerate, but you get the point. This series was not meant to be picked apart and analyzed, simply a good story with good writing and a Dickensian amount of coincidence. As hypocritical as this may sound coming from me, I've come to realize over the past few days that analyzing every aspect of the series does not do the series justice. Frankly, I'd gladly suspend all disbelief just to enjoy the books without picking them apart. And isn't that what any medium is meant to do at its core: entertain? Thus, my reasons for requesting a lock.
