You're right, I wouldn't really understand people who would say something like that, because it's just incorrect. In this situation the boy is his son, and no amount of screaming will change that.

I too have yet to play the game. It may very well be as tarnishing to Samus' name as people say, I may hate it just as much as everybody else. As of now though I can't accept that Metroid: Other M has killed the franchise because little suggests that it has. Plus, in most games, story is not as important to me as the other essentials. So for someone to insinuate that a game, let alone an entire franchise is dead because a character was not portrayed how they expected just comes off as foolish to me.

Also, I would like to apologize if my previous post came out as a bit offensive towards you. I may have implied that you were among the upset fans which is not what I intended.

Yes we did, and to be quite frank I'm rather pleased we know a bit more about Samus and her character. I didn't particularly fancy imagining what she could have been like, in fact I often wondered if we would ever get to know her a little more. You also haven't explained how Samus' character wrecks the flow of the game. You've just stated your unhappiness with Samus' interpretation.

Will you take back your words when they announce another Metroid game? Because you'd be wrong, you know.

I never viewed Samus as a bad-ass in the first place. Just as an individual i unfortunately knew little about.

The difference between what exactly? And what is not to believe, Surely you can't be surprised that there are those out there who disagree with you. Oh, and you don't have to be glad for me, I never even said I liked how Samus was portrayed in this game. All I wanted was clarification on how and why Metroid: Other M destroyed the franchise, which nobody has or ever will give, because it has not.

I wonder what would happen if they did this to lara croft

They have already ruined Tomb Raider

PLEASE don't make tomb raider PS1 games fans like me suffer even more!

Frequent cutscens with BAD internal dialog.  That wrecks the flow of the game. And yes she was bad ass.

And having to wait for adam to basically save your life is dumb. I like my imagined Samus then this bad movie samus.

I never once wanted Sakamoto to show a back story.  It is indulgent and adds nothing to the gameplay because I play videogames not want to watch a z-grade movie. If that is what I wanted I would have a PS3

No. I am almost finished with the game and while I dislike one part (obvious breakdown) the rest of the game still fits just fine. There is no reason a woman cannot be feminine and a strong warrior at the same time. To state otherwise is really just sexism in my opinion.
