Other M is not a bad game overall, but it killed the franchise


How does this even work. Please explain. Or are you saying it's bad by Metroid standards, in which case the franchise is still perfectly fine.


It works quite easily.

 

If it was a game called metrud: other m and wfeatured a bounty hunter calles Samoose Arlan, and in every other way was identical, it would be a good game. It's existence ruins the character of Samus, and thus ruins all the previous metroid games, thus killing the series despite being a good game.

I am still confused here. You're saying the backbone of the franchise was Samus' character, and because she is not who you thought she was, this destroys the experience of all previous Metroid games, and future ones? But wait, if the series is dead then their would be no more Metroid games (or media). Are you saying there will never be another Metroid game again?

I would call a dead (or finished) franchise one that will never have any form of official continuation in the future. Your explanation has not confirmed anything of the sort, all it's done is further the notion that some fans are just upset because things aren't exactly what they seemed to be.

Previous metriod games we used our imaginations to fill in who Samus was. She was a solitary character alone and Isolated. Now she is taking orders from Adam?  That part of the game is beyond ridiculous.  She is burning and she has to wait for Adam to tell her to put on the suit?  If she went to the bathroom she would piss in her suit until adam told her to drop her pants?  How does this help make a better gaming experience? It wrecks the flow of the game, it is useless 

So yes it does destroy it because it is a completely different character.

Metriod was built on a bad-ass isolated in alien worlds.  Finding upgrades and moving to new locations.

I can't believe some people can not see the difference.  But I'm glad you like the all new character.
