Jesus CHRIST.

I'm so goddamn pissed at Metroid Prime. STILL CAN'T BEAT THE LAST BOSS. I've been at this spot for TWO FUCKING YEARS and I *STILL* can't beat it! This is crazy.

I stand by my earlier post: This is by far the HARDEST end boss I've ever fought in my life in any video game. Period.

The worst part is it has TWO forms and no way in hell for you to heal in between em. The first one doesn't even have a pattern.. just tosses about 20 projectiles your way, a beam, two floating orbs, and all this crazy shit that you can't POSSIBLY avoid... While you sit there and try to blow up the floating orbs before they hit you, the thing is running around launching missiles at you, then fires it's beam.. only to do it all over again, so you never really get a chance to lay into it. When you do, it's a good few hits, then it changes weaknesses.

Then you get your life down to maybe 2 or 3 energy tanks only to find out it has a fuckin FINAL form. Oh yeah, because I'm supposed to do all this shit on such little energy, huh?

Thennnnnn the goddamn thing is invisible. But you put on your xray or thermal vision (still can't tell which one to use) and it's STILL invisible.

After you smack it around, then it starts lauching all the annoying little fucking metroids at you. Give me a BREAK. The little bastard ones you have to fire at 50 times only to have it break into TWO MORE.

Great. Almost makes me not even want to play it.

It's a NUISANCE to have it setup like this. You spend a good 10-15 minutes fighting the first form, so if ya DIE, you have to do all that shit over again.

I am about to kick someone in the goddamn head.

This game is FUCKED UP. So I finally got to the essense of prime (the last form) with more than half of my energy tanks filled up (that shit won't happen again in a million years). The only way to hit the damn thing is when it createz the phazon puddles.

I don't know if it's a glitch in the randomization or what, but guess what it did NOT do? Oh, that's right. Create the puddles. So for seriously 7 minutes straight I'm sitting here jumping around, dodging the fire rings waiting for it to make the puddles : nothing.

That's the only way you can beat it, so what the hell?

[edit2] (2 hrs later)
FINALLY beat the goddamn thing! HAH. But barely... if I would've been hit once more, I would've died. I had 2 energy left. TWO!

But uh... I really have no idea how I did it. The last few times, it spawns those ultra metroids and they simply take too much attention to kill. 2 of em split into 4 other ones, by the time you kill them, the puddle is gone.

I hope the sequel isn't anything ridiculous like that boss was..
