His analogy is still valid. You fully admitted to, essentially, "only just getting into Metroid" and as such, you have little to no idea what made the series so great to begin with. And saying there weren't a lot of good games? Seriously dude, even for all the negatives I've given to Fusion, it's still a fun game--because there really were no bad Metroid games. Just, for Fusion and Other M, there are wrong Metroid games. Maybe Hunters, which is the only game I haven't had ample time with since, when I bought my DS, it was no longer for sale, except used, and I haven't gotten to it. Strangely enough, I do have the First Hunt demo, complete with it's packaging...
And yes, I just realized I cluttered this thread with my posts...

Hunters I got when it first came out and I was in the top 1% online before it was overrun by hackers, by all rights that is not a Metroid game rather an FPS game with a Metroid skin, not a bad FPS mind you but still I know what makes the series great and it wasn't that 
Getting into the series last gen as at least given me time to stew over the series as a whole I'm just not filled with nostalgic memories of the series, Super Metroid is good, Prime somehow was even slower paced than its 2D counterparts while trying to keep some of the same ideas alive, Prime 3 stepped it up however and was a great game because of it, mainly the reason I couldn't force myself through prime was simply the controls, everything else is pretty great.
I know what makes Metroid good and bottom line is I'm getting to do what the series is known for with Other M and more, so I don't see the problem.

Well, I've been playing and loving and worshipping Metroid since the olden days, and all I can tell you is that Metroid: Other M is definitly not giving you what the series was known for. For one thing, never, ever assume that Metroid was a fast-paced game or series. Other M's Ninja Gaiden-esque fast gameplay is far from the series norm. Slower pace, moody atmospheric music, and an emphasis on exploration over flash-in-the-pan action is what the series is known for.
