Well what a surprise, a game that sounded like a shit idea turned out to be a shit game.
Good ol' Nintendo.

I'm stunned at the number of people who think a Yahtzee's critique is a legitamate indicator of the games quality.
How about you scamper off the board and let the next 3 of you toddle in to post that link.Zeithri said:
Yaaaaaawn. You're the first person to ever post that. Again we seem to have issue with fans of games thinking that just because everyone shares a sentiment with Yahtzee, that we're just going along with whatever he says because we can't make a decision without being told what to think. Then again... that's how Nintendo hype works, isn't it? Guess I can't fault you guys.Darth Pope said:
I suppose it is a bit out of proportion. But my favorite character from VII is still Red XIII, because he's so detached from that main storyline.AngelicSven said:Well, I think Cloud's emoness is a little blown out of proportion because he's one of the first emoey characters. Like I find Kratos and more recent JRPG characters extremely more emotional.CriticalQuit said:
Personally, 'd love if he ended up happy-go-lucky like Zidane but the Zelda series has a lot of serious moments so I don't know. I'd much like him to stay quiet.
Most like to pretend Zelda 2 never happened. :/Gigaguy64 said:Well he isnt Whiny and Emo....but he was given character...AngelicSven said:
Merely stating this is no use. This is the thing which makes no sense, Samus should know by now that Ridley is too dumb to stay dead. She has killed him four times, most people take the hint after one.epsilon246 said:
Never mind the fact that Samus is described in the Metroid manual as the greatest bounty hunter in the federation, feared by even Space Pirates. Literally, even before the first game Samus was the baddest ************ in all of space.
Edit: Also, on her not being ready to fight Ridley, his first appearance in Metroid Prime 3 catches her just about as unready as she can possibly be, he dives out of the shadows above her just as she unmorphs. And she just starts firing straight away, and carries on doing so as they both plummet down a miles long shaft. And now we're being asked to believe that Surprise Ridley is enough to send her into shock, and this isn't just a cheap mechanism to throw in a dramatic rescue of a character who should not in any way need it?
Good lord. It seems like the two opposing factions (the ZP fans and the MovieBob fans) are lining up for an epic showdown. The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure that Yahtzee and MovieBob have nothing against each other, yet their fans seem to despise each other to a laughable degree.
Frankly, I like watching ZP and Escape to the Movies, but I'm gonna have to agree with Yahtzee on this one. At least in terms of what they did to Samus's image. I can't comment on the gameplay, since I haven't played it.

I have to agree with you. I just watched that video you linked to and I think it makes much more sense. Yahtzee does have a couple of good points (the 'Baby's Cry' distress call thing mostly, which I agree can fuck right off) but he was way off on other points. Such as there being no point to the destruction of Sector Zero. It was explained that the metroids faced later were unmodified and created as a test. I found even those ones (even though their number was quite small) a very large threat. If those freeze-immune ones were allowed to live, Samus and everyone else would have been so very screwed.Zeithri said:
It was dumb that she couldn't turn on her Varia suit when she reached the lava stage, but I'm blaming Adam for that one since he should have authorised it the moment he knew she'd be going in there. That's what a good CO would do. Most other things I would agree with because it's justifiable. I mean, he generally authorises things when you need them, so what's the problem?
Besides, she isn't completely submissive anyway; towards the end she starts activating her own stuff when she needs it. Not to mention her running across the Diffusion beam and the Seeker missiles and activating them right away.
I felt the voice-acting could have been much better, but I find Samus far more interesting as a character now. She still kicks massive ammounts of ass (especially if the fatality moves and
laying a power bomb in a Metroid Queen's stomach
Once again the thread opened with yahtzee fanboys parroting his opinions. He's not the only one who criticizes samus's characterization in the game, many metroid fans hate his portrayl in the game.
