What I've seen of the story does not impress me (videos are available online). Even giving that the Ridley scene is consitent with the manga (which they should have at least included in the game to give context), the lines are written, and spoken, really flatly. Again, I could have taken that if I could have skipped those and just played the game.

That's th biggest reason I was turned off from Heavy Rain. Despite what I've posted about that game, I really was giving the game a shot (especially when the trailers made it look like it was all about an intense hunt for a serial killer) until I saw the actual gameplay, and knew the entire game was me having to sit through all that. I wonder if the trailers versus the gameplay is why it opened well but had no legs, but that's for another thread.

Plus even RPGs tend to grate on me now for that, and I'm a big RPG fan. One of the reasons I like Kingdom Hearts II and 358/2 over the first game and Chain of Memories (the GBA version, not sure about the remake) is skipping cut scenes.

So in short, I don't like the story (details or execution), and having that peppered througout the game will make it very grating, despite how good it might or might not play.

It really only hits you hard at a few choke points: the first time she encounters the soldiers, when you're running around the control room (a lot of super-slow over-the-shoulder walking), and then a good bit at the very end

It moves pretty quickly otherwise.

The story is dumb acting aweful and this is not the same samus 

she is an  impostor 

A Japanese fetish girl

You are actually ignorant to say we are ignorant 

I wish. Where are the shoolgirl outfits, and her cosplaying as a cat girl for the cultural festival?

And there doesn't seem to be an unlockable skimpy santa dress.

Plus it doesn't show here having a crush on another woman when she was younger.

Japanese fetish girl, my ass.

Please know I'm joking.

And this samus is the first game where she whines like a little emo girl.

So you should really think before you call someone ignorant

I'm a real metriod fan not a game made team ninja and the bad writing of sakamoto

Sakamoto has promised it in the next Metriod Emo

uhhh....did anyone else get stuck at the boss towards the end and die a million times?  or am i just not very smart?

anyone else have a prolbem figuring out how to defeat QM?  They don't tell you.  ugh

Which one? Nightmare (the gravity changer), the Queen Metroid, or something else?
