I like her character. She's clearly the fan girl archetype but she has a lot of potential if they decide to bring her back for Prime 5 n

Can we talk a moment about Samus' arm cannon weaponry in MP4?

With only very few exceptions (1 or 2)--and it's probably just me--but in combat, it seems it takes an average multiple shots (more than one "trigger pull") for any of Samus' weapons (beams and missiles) to put down an attacking enemy--specifically, grievers, shrens, psy-bots, tanks, and pyremites. But in cut scenes, she only needs one (1) shot to dispatch the enemy, and the weapons of the NPCs (particularly Tokabi) also seem to be able to dispatch an enemy (e.g., a griever) with just one shot.

Is it just me who's noticed this? Am I seeing things?

Q1: How long have Lamorn been extinct?

I'm wondering because their machinery and equipment in Flare Pool and Volt Forge seem to be in perfect working condition--as if the Lamorn were still around; and some key systems in Ice Belt and The Mines also seem to be functional.

Q2: Why do the NPCs (and apparantly everyone else) have an apparent distant formality with Samus' reputation and status, yet they all are so familiar with her that they only call her by her first name, and not a more respectful "ma'am," or "sir," or "Miss Aran?"

Q3: Upon first seeing Ssmus Aran, Sgt. Duke wonders aloud why the Federation would send it's best bounty hunter on a podunk (my word) rescue mission. Am I wrong, but Samus wasn't there to rescue them--right? I mean, did she know they were there--or, even where she was?!?

In a cave in The Great Mine, as Samus is about to fight the Omega Griever, she stoops and touches what appears to be a crystallized substance embedded in the cave floor. The camera view looks down from above her.

Is this what remains of Gravinax after losing its fight with the Omega Griever?

...kicking Psy-Bot asses since 20X9!!

Just starting my prime 4 journey! With all the negativity around it since its launch, my expectations aren't extremely high. Loved the prime games as a kid but not so sure how ill like it now.

Any tips on how to make experience more enjoyable? Outside of ignoring what the haters say.

Is playing on switch vs switch 2 really matter THAT much?

Omega griever. It looks like the door to the left should be open but it's not and no weapons are clearing it.
