Yeah, because 'lets play' videos aren't bias in any way.... I will admit, Other M is nowhere near the best Metroid game. But the gameplay and design was still good. Its just the story and forced real-time events that hurt the game. If the story was handled more like Fusion, it probably would have been much better.
How can it have alienated you if you didn't play it... And that brings up another point. Most of the people I see say the game was horrible was people who either didn't play it or had a negative opinion about it before they did. I won't deny the series took a backwards step from what the fanbase wants. But that doesn't mean the entire series is crap just because you didn't like (or didn't play) one game in the series. That's like saying all Future Zelda games are bad because of Twilight Princess or all Mario games are bad because of Mario Sunshine. Sometimes Nintendo tries something new and it doesn't work. |
Sure, I didn't play it, but looking at the videos, and you can find ones where the guy just plays, no commentary, I saw 3 things which just shouldn't be here: an over-reliance on missiles, it's almost as if it was the standard beam it's used that much; the cutscenes with the characterisation of Samus. The quicker they get rid of this and forget about it, the better. And finally, you're exploring a metallic hub ship or whatnot. It is boring, very boring. In metroiod and the prime games, I'm actually exploring a planet, which offers such diverse locations, I was in awe when I played them, especially prime 1. Here, it's just "meh, some slightly different metal pieces".
I also don't think the entire series is crap, just that this game is horrible, and it looks that it's not going to get much better from this.
