Is it overblown ? Oh absolutely, the gaming community can't really pause for a moment to critically think the moment semi-ppopular YouTuber wants to post the hottest takes on said video game.
Are NPC's in the Metroid games a new thing ? No. NPC with bad dialogues then ? No, that already happened in Other M.
The complain most seem to point out is about their ruined immersion, how the series is ONLY about Samus isolation going through alien planets XYZ to bust herself out of there ...
Except in Metroid Prime 3 really ,which if you look at what MP4 is doing here, is simply a progression of what was previously (Galactic Federation being involved, Sylux's whole shabang, interactivity) done.
It's funny because Appart from that one aspect, previews have quite glamorous about the game's environments, puzzles and gameplay thus far. So really, if you wanna throw the whole basket of apples away because of a single rotten apples, be my guest.
Some have waited waaaaaaayyyy too long for that game to see this momentous moment ruined by a single element.
Though in some cases, it's just people who had no intention of playing the game to make noise regardless.
Look, during the first few trailers, people acted like "This is a Metroid Prime game alright ? Where's the evolution ? The hook ?"
Here you go, Retro Studios is paving the way with new staples for the series and some are getting into a itsy fit because "This isn't their Metroid anymore!" despite the fact that they initially complained it was just a Metroid Prime game at first.
Sometimes, I believe people really just don't know what they want until they've played these games for themselves.
Like remember how Metroid Prime 1 was judged during its initial reception before people played it ? In the modern Internet of today, people would've gone ballistic over that |
My thoughts exactly! But this comes from actual Metroid fans too. Arlo made a video about this and he made it look like it was some catastrophe for the game and the series.
Which, again, makes me question if these so called "fans" have selective memory or they are just a bunch of frauds...
