I'm not going to say no body loves fetch quests, because if you're like me, you spent hours getting all the orbs in Jak 3, or the lovokov (the name escapes me, feel free to correct) balls in No More Heroes. WoW? Sure I'll go get you some mana gems. I LOVE collecting things. Sure, those examples I listed are optional, but thats beside the point.
To the issue at hand. I've been a Metroid fan since Super Metroid when I first got my SNES when I was little I'm 15 now. I've loved every moment In them. I've encouraged my friends to pick up and try them, any of them for that mater. I got my girlfriend to buy Super Metroid for VC. Before playing, she was never a fan, but the second the title screen came on, she was hooked. And when the prime series came out, I was ecstatic. I've praised Metroid Prime 3..and thats where my issue comes in.
Near the end of Metroid Prime 3 [SPOILERS] You have to enter an abandoned ship to get coordinates for the phazon home world. The issue is, the ship is out of energy and powered down. So you have to collect power cells to power it back up. [/SPOILERS] Not all in one room, but spread throughout the ship. The power cells are spread out on each of the planets in hidden areas, sometimes areas to need to go to advance the game. This seemed like a bit of a problem, since I only got 5 of them by the time I had to go to the ship. (You can go back and find the rest..but read on) So I got curious, I only have 5..lets see how far I can go with only 5. So I saved my game outside the ship and did simple trial and error. And you know what? It worked.
The OMG STUPID FUCKING FETCH QUEST that RUINED METROID PRIME 3 LOLOL can be done with only 5 of the cells. 5 cells I found by doing what fans of the series should have been doing in the first place: Exploring.
So for the love of Samus, stop your bitching about that fetch quest, it is really, REALLY annoying.
