Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Game Informer (America) review of Metroid Other M

GT knocked it for the cutscenes being too long?  I love long cutscenes.  Anyways, I prepaid it forever ago and they're not going to stop me from enjoying the game!  Everyone is so whiny when it comes to Nintendo.  Get over it, people like their games and they don't agree with you.

In the case of Metroid: Other M the list of black listed sites is getting pretty damn lengthy.

@Maxwell - I'm surprised by your ad space quip to be honest, 'cos you know we get those sorts of comments with our reviews (perhaps even your own) sometimes and it's total bs.

I'm 98.7% sure Maxwell was joking.

I never realized nintendo fans are so defensive about their games : /

Don't listen to reviews if you want a game, try it first and then buy it, simple as that. 

As for the long cutscenes thing, that's a stupid subject to take points off of, as it's entirely opinion based.

This thread seems kinda banwagonish.

1. The stupid plot element that prevents Samus from using her full potential

2. A spoiled, Whiny and brainless Samus thats gets scared of enemies that she beat 4 times already

3. shoddy aiming and controls

4. not so great writing

these issues have been addressed in every review REGARDLESS of score. What does it matter that one site gave it a 6 and th other a 8? the issues arestill there its just some ppl have decided to look past it and others didnt... too much emphasis is being put on the number and not the actually review


Seems like everyday on the forums at VGC

The bit where she kept saying baby over and over does get annoying, it's repeated over a bit too much though they're trying to give the emphasis of this being a constant thing running through her head.

The plot point preventing her from using her powers is Adam a major character in Samus' life if you've played the series.

As for controls G4 and GI seem to be the ones bitching about that, reading other reviews actually call it innovative, surprise surprise.

It seems to me there are things that could have been done better but both G4 and GI seem to spew nonsense and even their reviews conflict with each other despite both of them being the lowest scores for this game focusing to bash on the same things, one says the music is very prevalent and amazing the other says it's hardly there, now that is something that is easy to discern and is just a fact if its there its there if its not its not... someone is flat out wrong between the two at least on that subject.

honestly Game Informer is one of the most fair publications I've ever read.  Maybe the game just isn't good?

Either way that sucks because this is a game I was somewhat excited about.

Is this a review of Other M or the G4TV metroid review

Because the G4TV review had stupid complaints, a spoiled/whiny reviewer's voice, shoddy video camera feeds from the game and terrible written script.

What's starting to piss me off is the reviewers that have done no research into the game development. They keep blaming a lot of stuff on Team Ninja that Team Ninja had nothing to do with. Team Ninja was gameplay and gameplay only.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
