Please don't, the others are so good. Play the Primes. Play Fusion (my personal favorite). Play Super and the original if you can find them. Seriously, much better.ewhac said:I have never played any of the Metroid games. Having seen this set of cutscenes, I feel no urge to do so.
My guess is that the voice actress thought that flat affect == badass detachment. Uh, no.

Also good one about the Gordon freeman thing the game probably would have been different if he talked and had terrible or odd dialogue.
I actually rather liked the combat for the most part. Except the boss battles (besides the one in the lava) and the pixel-hunt segments. Seriously, fuck those.Alakaizer said:The blurb at the end was wrong. The gameplay is nearly as horrendous as the cutscenes.
The best part is you can't use missiles after because Adam didn't authorize it yet.Mydnyght said:So basically, on top of what this comment thread has mentioned so far, Samus cannot use her abilities until she gets authorization from.... from some douchebag who leads a squad without the ability to open hatches like the one we saw Samus shoot open. A squad without NORMAL MISSILES.

Graham... please tell me you and Paul will be doing something else next week. I don't think I'd be able to handle a three-parter of Other M.
Umm.. Team Ninja handled the actual gameplay. Nintendo are the ones to blame to blame for the direction, storyline and characters.MatParker116 said:Dear Team Ninja

Don't blame Team Ninja, they went on an interview to state they had nothing to do with the story, that was all Yoshio Sakamoto.MatParker116 said:Dear Team Ninja

The boss battles (especially the Nightmare, you played Fusion, you should understand why), pissed me off, the pixel-hunts nearly made me snap my Wii-mote, the cut-Samus's-speed-to-a-slow-crawl-and-lock-the-camera-behind-her bits nearly made me spew, and using missiles destroyed the flow for me, everything that was in it was either pointless or had been done before and better in another one. I've played all of them, so I know what of I speak.Avatar Roku said:I actually rather liked the combat for the most part.

I can do better than that.

I can agree with Bob on the points that a lot of pre-Other M Samus was speculation by gamers. I'll still argue that the writing and voice acting, at least, are not done well enough to persuade people that these new characteristics are reasonable. Also, being that I've never played the game and am taking any first hand knowledge from Unskippables, I could easily be wrong.Swifteye said:I can do better than that.

At least then she could just spell out to us what emotions she is feeling despite being unable to express them. I haven't seen a character so devoid of personality since the pet rock I had when I was 4, and at least the pet rock had a smiley face drawn on it.
Edit: I'm actually going to present a theory here that Samus is supposed to be autistic and the developers just never got round to telling anyone that. Because there is just no way any developer, not even Team Ninja, who could believe that is a believable interpretation of the personality of an independent female character.
Can't get behind the autism thing, though. She doesn't seem to have trouble grasping social issues, just trouble reading from a script. Not so much interaction difficulty as total system failure.
Most of the reviews for the game disagree with you, at least as compared to the storyline aspects, and I don't really recall seeing much gameplay in this video which is sort of what's being discussed here.MatParker116 said:Gameplay sucks as well but I get your pointStriderShinryu said:Umm..
