Unskippable: Metroid: Other M Part 1

[uncanny474]

Having never played a Metroid game... did a baby really save your life in the fight against the brain queen thing in whatever game has you fighting it?

...Technically? It was the Metroid Hatchling, an "infant" metroid that some stupid scientests were performing experements on (a la Aliens), and then it escaped, and then space pirates.

At the end, it gives Samus the Hyper Beam, allowing her to defeat Mother Brain.

And I'm fairly certain it didn't die at the end of Super Metroid... Hooray retcons?

OT: That. Was. Terrible. I almost wept at how bad that was. Over use of babby, that boring, monotonous voice, the cutscene direction, the gratuitous fanservice... god, that was an atrocity. Saddam Hussain, Stalin, and Hitler put together weren't as bad as that cutscene...

Three reloads and I still can't watch the video.

Same! And same again for the LRR video. It just wont load at all.

And the same thing has happened on their LRR video for me as well. I can watch Jimquisitions on my laptop and computer, but not this nor LRR.

i. awoke. to. the. familiar. voice. of. a. quarantine. officer...
...a. dream.
i. had. been... ugh... it reminds me of madonna on star stories... "happy. sad. confused. surprised..."

i always said "Zee-Bees".

Quoted for relevance. I want my damn Unskippable, Escapist. Get on it.

And what the fuck is this shit??!!

I was beginning to wonder when they would do Other M, it deserves it.

My god that was terrible. The voice acting, it burned. I'm so glad I never played is. She needs to learn how to emote. The sadness. It's just bleeding slowly all over the place. Like molasses. I can't wait to hear her when she's angry. Angry I tell you.

I went and read up on the Metroid story so far, and watched a video of the old SNES fight this scenes flash backs too, and the Metroid DID die.

That being said... this entire story is garbage... how many times does a species need to be eradicated before it goes extinct? And you know what? The same can be said of all the villains.

Clones, androids, robots... all of the same guy, and all his little patsies.

I suppose in classic Nintendo fashion, they would rather rehash their villains than come up with new ones. They are almost as bad as Marvel.

I've never played a Metroid game, as mentioned before. But this is what I predict the next game will entail.

Spoiler: Common themes I'm seeing in all the Metroid games.

Ridley will be back from the dead again.

One of Samus' old suits will be infected, or inhabited or some other hair brained idea to make you fight another suit.

There will be a Metroid in it, even if it makes no sense.

Spoiler: Flavor that will probably not be in the games.

This Ridley might even be the REAL Ridley whom you didn't really kill the first time you killed him.

The Ridley you kill in this newest game, will really be a Metroid.

 

[ProjectTrinity]

This made me tired and a little depressed. I mean, I heard the tales of Other M, but....Z_zzzz

(Good voice overs, though!)

 

[The Eyeball Moose]

My god, I am so glad I did not get this game.

 

[GeorgW]

I've been waiting for this one! Happy to hear there's another one coming, there has to be a lot to joke about in this game! Let's play maybe?

 

[BSCCollateral]

>Samus - I awoke to the familiar voice of a quarantine officer.

So ... all quarantine officers sound the same? She always gets the same quarantine officer, but never learned his name? What?

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

I really feel like the odd one out about this game... Maybe because i haven't really played other games than the Prime Trilogy, and also because i stopped giving a shit about the story in the game after the first two cutscenes. It helped me sorta enjoy it.

And i really think it's weird. I know one should never assume to be alone about something on the internet, but i've never felt as alone as i do whenever a debate about this game shows up >_>

EDIT: Debate isn't really appropriate. "Whenever this game is being bashed on" would be more appropriate.

Someone needs to tell the voice actress to get off her deperessants before a session.

I haven't been able to watch any videos except for Zero Puncuation. They just won't load for me.

 

[non_entity]

Oh god I'm starting to get why people hate other M.

Samus is a woman so of course she has to love the BABY BABY BABY... jesus, how many goddamn times did they have her say that? The baby, the baby, the baby, the baby.. IT WAS A GODDAMN METROID FFS!

Samus is a great character, she might even harbor motherly feelings somewhere for all we know but for god's sake, don't act like she actually loved that metroid or whatever. It imprinted on her, it saved her live, which is cool and all, but ... no, just no...

That annoying inner monologue, and her annoyingly monotone voice... haven't gotten this angry at a game (misrepresenting a character) this fast in a long time.

 

[uguito-93]

Oh sweet merciful lord its even worse than I remembered.

 

[RTR]

I have been a defender of Other M pretty much since the beginning, however, I have to agree with that last statement about the difference between giving Samus a voice and what was done with that voice.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

..Yeah, pretty much how I remember the game. The writing and the tone of her voice made me more bored listening to it than watching Men whom stare at Goats did. And that almost deserves a medal on it's own merits (in how to put me to sleep the fastest, that is).

The gameplay was fine, but fuck.. Samus had more emotion (better conveyed) and intrigue when she was a mute. You have to fail pretty hard to make that statement come to life.

 

[The Random One]

Man, Benzaie's Metroid: Other M in 5 seconds was spot on. BLAH BLAH BLAH THE BABY BLAH BLAH BLAH THE BABY

 

[Trishbot]

Other M... my most hated game ever. Yes, the gameplay isn't bad (but, no, it's not good either), but the story BUTCHERED my favorite character.

This Samus is NOT the Samus I know and love.

I mean, nothing gets you ready for an epic adventure of blasting aliens and blowing up planets like a 10 minute monologue about babies in a dry monotone, right?

And I agree. The Metroid imprinted on HER. In fact, in Super Metroid, she just DUMPS the thing in the labs of some scientists and flies away, glad to be rid of it. Even IF she liked it, it was a stupid animal. It would be like my dog dying. Yes, I'd be a bit sad, but I'd GET OVER IT.

The video isn't working.
No, I don't have ad blocker.
And I'm a pub club member.

I've had problems with unskippable in the past as well. What's going on?
