I missed out on Metroid back when it was all 8-bit and 16-bit, back before it had any pretensions. Perhaps this has lessened the blow that Other M dealt me. Maybe it made it worse, long time fans being inoculated against the profound ineptitude displayed in this title. This is going to cement my reputation as a reviewer who thinks about plot more than gameplay, but I don’t care. Metroid: Other M has made me angry.
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.
I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.
Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.
originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.
Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".
Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime reflects on Metroid: Other M and his initial high hopes for the game.
Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."
Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.
NERDRAGE!!!!
lol
What a pathetic "review". Just another idiot who doesn't know Samus as well as he thinks he does and isn't mature enough to make the distinction between having real emotions and being a "whiny, submissive woman".
all the nerdlords are flakking this game because samus isn't his/her terminatrix girlfriend anymore...
it's very sad...
This reviewer is not very good at his job!!
