Didn't read your post just FYI just caught the last bit about the suit, she was given that suit by the chozo, it's not like it's Military regulation and its better than the technology humans have, so yeah their suits are human technology hers is far more advanced Chozo suit that is scarce cause the Chozo have been destroyed lol 

Honestly the above ideas are very far fetched to begin with and for all the people nit picking about the story in Other M they're not calling out the premise of the series itself that is in all the games... The Chozo who were a far more advanced race... completely died out... its hard to believe a group of pirates killed EVERY chozo within Samus' lifetime, it's also far fetched that if humans are that advanced and actually has good relations with the Chozo before they died out that they didn't share/reverse engineer chozo technology... really though people are forgetting its just fiction and it's supposed to be entertaining and in the case of Other M they're trying to convey that through emotions.

I didn't mean that her having the suit was incredible, but her fighting alongside those feds who die by a single gunshot that is weird. 

You don't see anything like that in warfare. EVER. It's like sticking a navy seal into a squad of grunts that just finished basic training. In fact, even letting a rebellious girl wear a highly dangerous suit is something that would never happen. Having her in the midst of everyone else just compounds the confusion. Her gear is of such excessive ability that she would never be leading an attack. She'd be a special operative dropped in behind lines to disrupt power and destroy defense lines, or spearhead an attempt at the leader.

Maybe you just don't see it the way I do. Having her in there like she's just one of the group is almost comical. 



there is one think I didn't like about the game  

SPOILERS WARNING!!!!

When you see Ridley...

you fire and fight the bastard

NOT.

be a damsel in distress. Come on. Samus kicked his ass in Metroid, Prime 1, 3, and Super Metroid. And chickens out in other M?



Spoilers, people!  I don't think i'm halfway done yet!!

*flees thread in terror*

Yeah I know what you mean, that is the more realistic idea of how it should/would be but again it's not the deepest of premises like I outlined before the absurdity of the idea of a group of pirates killing an entire race that is far more advanced...

haha yeah I know, that is weird. Especially calling them pirates when they're obviously feral creatures. I often thought of motherbrain and ridley and kraig as a shredder/bebop/rocksteady kind of group.

I would love a Chozo based game where they are still alive and it's like their final days. (might've already been a game about that...IIRC the gameboy one had a lot of Chozo, but I don't remember the specific plots of those older games.)



Previous metroids did't need voice acting, good, bad or otherwise. Only prime 3 had some but not to this extent and was better without it anyway. The beauty of the first metroid prime story was when scanning the lore  you could choose to read it or not depending on how you felt about it, it was never forced on you. It was just text (well written) that left everything to the player's immagination, the chozo lore in particular had you imagine the once great spiritual civilization and how it went to ruin. The pirate lore gave the space pirates character personality and a reason to exist in the game not just being some dumb bad guys who get in your way but bad guys with an evil agenda. It didn't need to have voice acting or a "great story" to be a fantastic game especially it didn't need to force the whole lot upon you.



The voice acting was fine. Then again this is the same company that gave us "Do a barrel roll!" and "Press R or Z twice!"

I thought this argument was already put to rest but anyways.  Samus's reaction in Other M only makes sense.  It's the realistic reaction, and since they wanted to give her character a realistic portrayal, that's what she did.  You already mentioned she fought him in Prime1, 3, and Super Metroid.  This would be her fourth time killing the same monster, for a one dimensional video game character you give the character no reaction and just jump into the fight.  But for a realistic personality you have to take in her past fights and how that has weighed on her psyche, the Manga's previously released all showed that she had the syptoms of general anxiety disorder, and after fighting for years and has developed PTSD (like most soldiers who have seen too much combat do) which causes you to freeze up in high stress moments.

I think a lot of the voice acting is dry and stilted in a "very anime" manner.  On occasion, it's not terrible, but it's generally not good.

The writing is atrocious, predictable, cliche, and just plain wrong as it took a formerly strong, independant bounty hunter, and turned her into a whiny little girl almost totally dependant on luck and help from others, rather than the carefully honed skills that should be expected of her.  Samus is overly emotional, and it doesn't fit the character at all.

Same thing they did with King Kong in the 2005 remake--they made him unrealistically, and illogically emotional.


That monkey acted exactly like an ape in love is supposed to act.


Whatever man, we all know apes are lizards with the brains of amphibians and the feelings of fish.
