So... has your opinion changed about Metroid: Other M?

No.  I don't like the game much at all. 

I still have the same issues:

The pacing of the game is ruined because of overlong cutscenes, which franky aren't very good.  I normally don't care about the story in games, especially when it's a mediocre one.  Just let me play the darned game. 

The Wii Remote only controls weren't a very wise decision.  Controlling in 3D space doesn't work well with a joypad.  An analog stick would have been more accurate.  Also, the 1st person rooted to the ground missile shooting stuff is nonsense.  Give me the freedom to move please.

The Where's Waldo segments as Smeags so aptly called them were atrocious.  Look, look, and look some more for a miniscule area on the screen that you need to find in order to advance.  Who thought that this was a good idea? 

I could go on and on about how Samus' character was raped but it's nothing that hasn't been talked about ad nauseum.  Let's just say that they turned a female Boba Fett into a subservient drone that will burn to death instead of using a suit function that would immediately remedy the situation. 

Tap, tap, and tap to dodge and I win.  Maybe I'm too good at games, but the Ridley segment was the only part of the game that posed a true challenge to me and when I figured out the trick, that wasn't very hard either.

Besides for that, it's a pretty good game...
