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

If you dislike people walking away because of NPCs, then you'd hate me. I'm a Metroid junkie. I've been playing the franchise, literally, since NES. I consider it my favorite Nintendo IP ever, period--and I walked away because of the motorcycle. lol

For me, some IPs can change. Metroid is not one of those IPs. Yes, Prime went 3D, but it was like OOT in that all you got was Super Metroid in the third dimension. Adding in NPCs and motorcycles and open world elements and all this stuff... it just feels like a new IP to me. I'm (sadly) not interested.

Curious question, are you not interested specifically because of the motocyle? The first 2 trailers didn't allude to either the chatty NPCs or the Motocycle, were you hyped then or equally unimpressed?
