| Umos-Cmos said: Pheeew, I made it through the entire editorial. The author(s) back up their opinion with good research that's for sure. While I don't agree with every point they make I'm not going to take the time to justify my opinion. I do agree with at least one point though. Adam came off as a total douche throughout the game. One point I didn't understand was this. I never viewed Samus as a feminist in the traditional sense, (the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men) but I guess by definition she would be. I didn't really care about her gender and what that means to womens rights in the far away future. I don't look to video games to influence my opinions on the role of women in society. I just viewed her as a tough bounty hunter with an awesome alien made suit with cool abilities and add-ons. As long as Metroid has that you can count me in. "If Metroid: Other M is indicative of the direction the Metroid series will be going from now on, I’m afraid I can no longer be a Metroid fan. For that matter, if Other M represents what Metroid’s creators had intended all along but hadn’t made clear until now, then I was never really a Metroid fan to begin with. Fortunately, Sakamoto himself admits that he hadn’t thought deeply about Samus Aran’s characterization prior to Other M. Now, however, it may be time for Nintendo to think more deeply about Yoshio Sakamoto." |
Not at all, accurate in my opinion
