Sorry I have been so inactive, everyone. My new hours and position aren't the friendliest for game-playing. I last stopped a few days ago shortly after obtaining the space jump. Been taking WAY too much time going back for missiles and such after every new upgrade is obtained. Breezing through pretty easily, but because I am playing it like I do RPG's, it is taking me forever, and time isn't something I have in abundance anymore. Fantastic game though, and very happy to see so much conversation over it. Had I been paying attention to the thread as well as playing, I could have saved a little bit of time.

going back for missles and energy tanks can really help out on some bosses too, so no harm in that. that's one thing about this game, as much as many items aren't required, i feel like none of them are useless. there's nothing i picked up that i never used, everything has a purpose.

I know this pain well! I don't have near the gaming time I'd like to have, though thankfully my wife has been a bit more understanding of late, since I told her, "I've spent so much money on my game collection over the years, but most of these games I've never played or hardly touched. I need to start playing through them!" As an IT guy, I often work long hours, have to give up some evenings, and often even weekends are interrupted by what we refer to as PICNIC issues. That, and my other hobbies get in the way. My game collection would be even larger and more extensive if I didn't also collect music CD's and vinyl albums, which of course, take up my time too.

Agreed. I watched bits and pieces of a playthrough that showed me tons of missile pickups I missed. I think I ended up with 145 missiles, and I guess you can obtain well over 200! Pretty insane, but cool that they hid that many throughout the levels. Some of the locations are really obscure, so once you have the X-Ray Beam, you can spend a lot of time looking over every inch of the game to find the few stray items you missed.

I gotta get back to mindlessly collecting missiles for the 100%. I decided to pop in Shadowrun for the first time and I'm seriously hooked.

Finished collecting in Brinstar (I think). Still need Crateria, Wrecked Ship, Maridia, and Touran (if there's anything down there).
Going back to collect everything is quicker and easier than I thought. With the Speed Boots, Plasma Beam, Gravity Boots, and Screw Attack, you can rip through any obstacle with no effort. Checking the maps is the only pain.

that would be cool Russ!
@Jerry this is one game i would probably enjoy going for completion on, the metroid prime games never felt tedious to find everything and this one seems to be the same for the most part.
