I'm not happy about it, i'll have that out right now. Metroid shouldn't be going in an especially story-driven direction. I wasn't too pleased with that move in Metroid Prime 3 (though the worlds themselves retained that sense of isolation for the most part), and i'm less pleased now.
Though i suppose as long as they retain that feeling of loneliness, i could live with it.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
