ok so i got every item in brinstar, and norfair(save for the wavebeam, which would help on ridley, but im lazy to get it, and it wont help much on kraid), and im working on ridleys lair.
i remember why i quit the first time so many months ago, so i mean, i go around in ridleys lair, die, and then turn the game off. i come back to the game later, y'know you only start with 30 health, and that means i have 3 empty energy tanks. "farming" health in this game takes YEARS, like jesus, it will take a good minute or two just to get 20, maby 30 health, and i need what, 400? the fuck. and good luck trying to get through the bottom path with only 30 health, yeah, i died like what, 6 times already?
i guess next time i pick it up (hopefully soon, i would rather beat this game eventually) i will sit there, FARMING HEALTH for an hour or so until i am full, collect the two energy tanks, and two missiles ive yet to get, attempt to kill ridley, if i kill him, move on to kraids lair.
but they did a good job on super metroid by upping the health pickups, i mean, i have max missiles (75) and those things still drop more than health does. not to mention when i do get health, its a shitty 5 health drop.
ill give it another go when i cool down a bit.
