Nothing of significance happened in Other M plot wise. Everything in Fusion was already covered by Super Metroid and Samus in Fusion does a much better job explaining her relationship with Adam than in Other M. So you could say it was all a bad dream.
I watched "Other M: The Movie" like 3 times. I may watch it again in the near future. I enjoyed the entire game except for the parts where graphics looked like they were PS1 level.

The game was not trash. It was very good. Not best Metroid, but still very good Metroid. Just story was badly done. |
Agreed. Deffinatly one of my top 10 Wii games. The story was mediocre, but I actually loved the gameplay.
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

That'd be a positive if any of her thoughts or emotions were interesting, but she just drones on and on in a monotone, using far too many words to describe the bleeding obvious. There's no intriguing moral conundrums or anything, just tired cliches. And as a person, she simply lacks admirable qualities. She isn't portrayed as intelligent, independent, resourceful, or likeable, just as a weak-willed teen.
Other M definitely doesn't deserve the reputation it's been given. The story might have been written by a team of dead fish and an angry cat, but the game itself was great.

Fair enough. You're entitled to that opinion. We all experience the game differently.
I will return to this thread, but I will leave this.
Other: M had a multiple problems. the gameplay was nice but it felt a bit too shallow for an action game and too bare and linear for an Metroid game. The way Samus was portrayed was horrible and rather poorly developed. While she does respect her former commander Adam, she has no reason to take orders from him. Even if you look past the Prime games, Samus is practically a one man army after all of the things she has done. How can she have survive three hellish planets, yet does not have the common sense to activate her Varia suit in a room filled with lava? Why does Samus need Adams authorization to use power ups that she has used for the majority of her bounty hunter career?
Sakamoto tried to add depth to Samus character by into her trauma and past life. Yet, Sakamoto overlooked one HUGE detail when doing so. He completely ignored the Chozo. Surely being an orphan and raised by one of the most technologically advanced, and spiritual, race in the galaxy would have some impact on Samus. Ironically, in an effort to make Samus into a more complex character, Sakamoto made her into a uninteresting, bland, whiny character
