Baby's cry, eh?
Please tell me that's an oblique reference to Firefly? Or not - maybe it's best Firefly not be associated with this.
Either way, I would have been quite happy with a Firefly quote in the Unskippable version, with Graham and Paul playing the part of Wash and Mal...

The thing I imagined for 'baby's cry' is it's basically the next step up on SOS signals. Where a standard distress call is used by freighters, privately-owned ships and the like, and means 'send help as soon as possible' and can be ignored by certain vessels (Military ships on an important mission, for example.) Baby's cry is a high-priority SOS where everyone, and I mean everyone, is to come and try to do anything possible to help.
Or maybe I'm just over analyzing it, meh.
The search for the pixel bits is what drove me crazy in this game, I just zoned out or made something to eat during the cinematics, so they didn't bother me that horribly and I loved the actual gameplay. Though I will admit re-watching these first cutscenes was rather painful.

Lol, "And last time we left our heroine she was whining"
"I had troubles remembering...."
"And she is still whining"
Why is this nothing like the Samus I grew up knowing...
So lucky the Prime series was soo amazing

I usually just pretend that the Metroid universe is intersecting with the Starcraft universe, and Samus underwent neural resocialization. That'd explain her droning voice and suicidal adherence to 'authorization.' Because I can't think of a single soldier who would wait for specifically worded orders (from a superior that needs to be contacted by radio) to use protective gear in an immediately hostile environment. Did soldiers in WWI wait until their officers 'authorized' masks when the gas started rolling in?
Well, if Samus had been there, she'd have been sucking down mustard gas until Adam got around to letting her put on her damn gas mask.

The worst thing about this game for me is that Samus was voiced (for grunts and death cries) in Prime by Jennifer Hale. Giving Samus dialogue isn't that bad an idea, Fusion did it fine, but why would you recast when you already had a fantastic voice actress for the part? Or - Why would you recast... for THAT.
Yes. Yes we were. We were also incredibly angry of how they depicted Samus as some whiny person.Ser Imp said:
Also, many of us agree that this game may have name "Metroid", but it's not part of the metroid canon.
As I said last week, I always thought the criticism leveled against this game was over-exaggeration because that's what gamers do. I thought that there is no way they could make a Metroid game THAT bad. I was wrong. I don't know how it's possible but they managed to, in 15 minutes, destroy 20 years of female badassery.
Can we get the Prime games back please?

Mother: Other Mother is not a game I'd choose to play. Her voice keeps nagging at me...and I'm quite forgiving with voices. This may be due to her narrating *responses* we clearly heard just a split-moment before, but, argh! [sarcasm] I at least know now though that behind every strong woman, there is an urge for them to become submissively inclined to jerks and want a baby....probably from said jerk. [/sarcasm]
At least the commentary was great. Especially when Half-Life 2 came into the picture.

I sometimes like to believe that the voice-acting is actually exactly as it was meant to be.
Just imagine the recording studio, the actress doing endless retakes, the director always saying the same thing to her:
"Okay, that was nice. I feel we are really getting somewhere here.
Now, could you try sounding just a little bit more like an abused, emotionally dead housewife ?
Just try to visualise years and years of unrelenting physical and psychological violence that have driven you to the point of complete catatonic despair."
This theory has the added advantage of being able to explain why Samus´ relationship with Adam was written as it is.

wow that really is horrendously bad!
there are logic flaws in the first cut-scenes of the game! jesus did no one proof read the dialogue writers?

There is nothing i can say that isn't already expressed in the Zero Punctuation review.
But, i can add one more punch. Aren't they just the pulse rifles from aliens? Seriously, look at them. They look damn near identical, as far as i can remember.
