Gaming Metroid Other M... or: why team ninja is killing the franchise

[WiiUBricker]

You are stupid. Prime 2 was the best game on GC.

I agree, Prime 2 was the best part of the Prime series. I really enjoyed it.

And I agree that Team Ninja partially "killed" the franchise. I hope Retro Studios will be in charge for the next Metroid game.

It looks like a game worth buying regardless.. I just think X-Play sucks lol.
I mean by the looks of things the only issue I can find right away is not being able to move in FPS mode.

Precisely this is what kept me away from prime, If I wanna play an FPS I play doom

You can't call someone stupid for having a different opinion on what games you like.

Precisely this is what kept me away from prime, If I wanna play an FPS I play doom, thats exactly why I like this game, cuz u can actually see samus while you play, for me thats a +.

First Person Adventure, not shooter. Its totally different to any FPS game.

If someone is gonna disregard something they don't know about then its their loss, the game was a wonderful experience.

I got the game a few hours ago and would like to proclaim that it isn't as bad as everybody is saying. It might not be as good as the Prime games but I like it! It's pretty fun. I'm in the middle of Sector 1 and I'm liking what I see so far. The cut-scenes have been annoying for the most part. It makes the Galactic Federation seem sexist. The reason Samus does a thumb-down was really stupid. I chuckled a bit while watching the cut-scene. Samus seems so insecure. I take back everything I said about the control scheme. The control scheme works really well contrary to what some people said. I plan on writing a review for this game and I have a feeling that the review will be much more positive than Guild's review. :yaymetroid:

OMG, are there people who hate F-zero GX? Strange.

I can when the opinion of him is that 'if I want to play an FPS I play doom.'

He said himself he hasn't played it, he hasn't formed an opinion on it, he's just decided he doesn't like it because its in the same genre as another game. Seems pretty stupid to me.

I personally like the game but don't think it is the masterpiece that the Prime trilogy was (especially the original). Biggest problems with the game is that it's too linear and the art direction seems to simple. Fire, ice, ship, outside. The textures are bland and the look of the game gets boring fast. Also the controls (not being able to move in FPS mode) are awkward.

I like the story driven plot and the boss fights. Sounds is great and the game is fun. I just wish the game was on a more grand scale, Everything seems small like your looking into a box. Perhaps this is because the Wii graphic capabilities or time constraints on making the game.

Still, a solid effort from a loved franchise which makes it even more fun to play.

Thats where you are wrong, I never said Ive never played prime games, I did tried to play them but for a real metroid fan, FPS is not metroid, real metroid is where you can see samus while you control her, not just a visor. Never call a person stupid and then add information to support your name calling, now thats really stupid.... Next time read the comment and try to discuss in an intelligent manner if you can...

...for a real metroid fan, FPS is not metroid, real metroid is where you can see samus while you control her, not just a visor...

There they go, touting themselves as "hardcore" or "real" or "die-hard" fans.

I was under the impression that all it took to be a fan of a game franchise was that you enjoyed it. Just because you don't like the Prime games doesn't make you any more of a Metroid fan than someone who does like the Prime games.

Honestly, I don't like being scornful, but things like that just grind my gears.

 

[broksonic]

I was hoping that you would be able to unlock the old nes and snes metroid games .

 

[joybeba6679]

You can grind your gears all you want, reality is that metroid wasnt fps when it first came out, neither it was when it went to gb, then to snes, and so on. I dont like FPS or fpa like someone wanted to say prime was. I like retro and metroid is all about retro, sure other M doesnt have a lot of retro in it, but at least you can see samus while you play and not a visor all times...

 

[8BitWalugi]

i think you´re the only one who liked f-zero gx.... its horrible

Stopped reading thread there.

Get out. Just get out. If you didn't like GX, think Starfox is ruined, and are now complaining about what could possibly be one of the best games of the year, you have no right to call yourself a Nintendo gamer.

Well, that's like saying that "real Mario fans" are supposed to only like the older side-scrollers. While they're good, the newer, 3D platformers are excellent as well for what they are, and refusing to play them just because they're different is just silly.

Not sure if troll, or if you are just really really stupid.
OK, so maybe you didn't like the Prime games. However, saying that 'for a real metroid fan, FPS is not metroid,' shows you to be completely ignorant and consider your view as a fanboy is shared by everyone else. It isn't. Pretty much everyone loved the Prime series, many considering it to be superior to the original 2D Metroids.
Similarly, you say you stopped playing because of that. This suggests to me that you didn't play Prime past the opening level - in fact, probably not even to the end of that. You knew your opinion of the game before you played it, not giving it a chance to surprise you.

They, then, are my reasons for calling you monumentally stupid.

Your right, he didn't form an opinion on the game, but then again he didn't say he has.

He's being arrogant and ignorant, but you can't just outright call him stupid for that.

This must be one of the dumbest threads I have ever seen.

Threats? What threats?

He's probably talking about the threats to my sanity.

 

[ether2802]

I'm loving the game so far, maybe you are just to old to like changes in something that has been around for more than 20 years, I never played the NES version, but I did the SNES version and OOOHH MY GOSH...!! it is great, after playing this one, I felt like I have to play CORRUPTION, this time as fps, but I like those games, so even better, now is kind of going back to the SNES version but with more features like the dodge, the first person for missiles and the killing strike, this game is great...!!


P.S. only for young minds that DO like changes...!!

I've finished the game a few hours ago, the cg is pretty great, cut-scenes are pretty blended with ingame ones, the plot has some holes in it, but they are game designers, not film makers. Though the sexist galactic federation and thumb down part sucked balls.
The playability is pretty good, I didn't have any problem with the controls. Loved every boss fight, my heart beated rapidly when fighting Ridley.

The maps are very linear, so there's little to no replay value in this one, in my opinion, and that's pretty sad for a metroid game.
And that's about it.

I won't compare it to any other game on the franchise, those are different games.
But it wraps up the gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion and that's pretty good.

That's my two cents.
