Well I'm not a fan of the "You are the protagonist" approach to gaming. I found out that Samus was a woman back in the 80's. I like being reminded that she's a woman. If anything, I had a harder time trying to figure out how she fit into that armor without detaching her arms.
I don't want to be the protagonist. That's one of the reasons why I hate most FPS titles. Just a faceless grunt or a floating gun that does everything except differentiate himself/itself from any million of other characters that I play as.
As some other guy in this thread said, "It's just video games." I'm not looking for a character that began as an 8-Bit sprite to give me "The female experience" or anything of that nature. I just want to see Samus's story continue and since I know she's a human female, I'm perfectly fine with her not acting like a man or a robot. As long as the gameplay is good (and it has always been good), I'm happy. |
The old armor was basically like a tank - Samus used to be 6'2 and weigh almost 200 pounds, if I remember, and she looked tiny in it
And lewis I respect you and I understand where you're coming from, but if Other M was nothing but running around in the Zero Suit with an RE4 camera set behind Samus centered on her ass, you would buy that game forty-five times

That's what i liked about Samus in the Captain N issue I read as a kid. She seemed like she fit the armor
Of course, the downside of her, was that her character motivation was more or less "Steal Kevin away from the Princess so we can fight aliens together and make out."
Though hey, for the 80's...
