| Stefan.De.Machtige said: 1. 1.5 million sales of Corruption on a biggest 'Nintendo' install base (ever). A lack of enthousiasme there ? - Prime did almost 1.3 million more. 2. It sold that much because most people thought it played like a real shooter. They were wrong, and regretted the sale. Why do you think the sales of echoes were one and a half million less? The install base had even grown a bit. 3. Characterization depends on social interaction. Relations. Social gestures with some words attached to it. You don't need Shakespeare, but some talking is part of it. The faceless masterchief has more character in Halo 3, than the whole Prime series. And he doesn't even have a known face. 4. I do know storytelling, and putting together you own from scattered bits is no real story. It's a barely more then a premise. I say again: Prime (series) is irrelevant to Samus character because it doesn't say anything new about her. It's not non-cannon... it's irrelevant-cannon. Face it. |
1. Corruption was much more cinematic than the first Prim. So was Echoes.
2. You have nothing on which to base this statement.
3. No it doesn't, you are wrong and apparently cannot appreciate characterization in silence. That's fine. You not appreciating it doesn't make it a valid criticism.
4. No, you don't know storytelling. Metroid Other M said a lot more new about Samus because it changed her character so significantly, but the Prime games fleshed out Samus significantly all without her ever talking. We knew all we needed to know.
