Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Sean Malstrom vs Metroid fans: FIGHT!

This is an interesting little debate, where Malstrom responded directly to his critics, who called him out on claims he has made

 

It all started with Malstrom's response post to the Other M site launch, where he declared that Sakamoto was being very self-absorbed in thinking he was a "game god," and pointed out what he believed to be plot holes in Super Metroid, as well as how Fusion ruined the franchise because it wrote the franchise into a corner in terms of story (a point on which i partly agree).

 

The folks over at Metroid-database.com took offense to this, and many of them preceded to pick apart Malstrom's arguments.

 

Malstrom took notice of the Metroid fans' rants, and so wrote up a critique of Metroid fans themselves, and responded to a number of the posts from the Metroid-database thread, in which he reiterates his accusation that the fans are simply worshipping Sakamoto as a "Game God."

 

This is getting interesting.

You know I agree with the plot holes. I mean when are we getting a game that happens after fusion? Other than that. I'm on the metroid side

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

The plot in Metroid is pretty irrelevant. I just want to shoot aliens and get power ups.



well juding by the Metroid series reputation for quality, maybe Sakamoto deserves they recognition?



Does anyone remember that purple monstrosity in the Other M trailer? The one Samus shot in the eye? That was malstrom.

I'd be bitter too.

As most of you know, I am a big Metroid fan who has played through most of the games at least ten times. I am with Malstrom on this one, because I don't see him attacking Metroid, but the weird obsession some people (including Sakamoto) have about rather irrelevant things.

I agree

Sakamoto wants to show Samus feminine side?

Please what is this MGS4 i just want to shoot not watch cut scenes

 

I am not flaming MGS I am just stating my opinion 



I am with Malstrom on this. Narrative has no place in mah Metroid



I LOVE ICELAND!

Don't judge a game before it's out.

Retro studios also tried to make Samus hot with big boobs and blond hair. Yet no one complains about that?

 

I could care less on how she looks like, she's in a god damn suit when you play as her!

 

So according to Malstrom Metroid franchise is ruined? Ok, so every metroid game released since fusion sucked ass? Because that game ruined the franchise right?

 

His logic sucks.
