[Opinion]I think people are overreacting over the whole Metroid Prime 4 NPC situation

There has been silly/cheap dialogue in the series before (Metroid Prime 3 comes to mind). Didn't stop it from being a great Metroid game.

And even if this was a first for the series, so has been many other far more transgressive changes in pretty much every Metroid game over the last 23 years. Didn't stop them from being great games. Again, would be nice if you took a look at the OP ^^

Of course I read the OP, sure I agree there have been many well executed changes before (Other M is my favorite Metroid game),
but nothing else felt as out of place as this stupid 'funny' character.

I respect that you don't feel that any of the previous changes felt out of place. Personally, I think the entirety of Metroid Fusion (and by extension Other M, which is in great messure a copy-paste from Fusion) could be considered a big fuck you to the most traditional Metroid fans. And yet, most of them love the game (myself included).

I think one potentionally annoying character is not enough to see this kind of overwhelming reaction, specially compared with what the franchise has gone through in the past.
