What is this Wannabe Metroid Shit?

[Alessa Gillespie]

Why does Samus, the generally kickass and work-alone one-woman-army, get weak in the knees and piss herself at the site of a monster she's defeated countless times and need some dudes to save her? This is atrocious.

It's like having Garrus without his headgear! It's like having Team Rocket not caring about stealing Pikachu! It's not right, I tell you.

I was afraid stupid shit like this would happen.

I don't know why they had to mess with a good thing, in terms of how Metroid was handled before. This new direction irks me.

 

[Max Payne]

Don't forget she needs fucking permission from some cunt to use her abilities and weapons.

She actually runs through a fucking lava area because she doesn't want to use her varia suit until Adam lets her.

Meh. Metroid Prime was the best incarnation of Metroid, in my opinion.

Don't know what Other M is gonna hold but I'm feeling a bit unsure about it.

Again, I don't know why they had to change it up when it was fucking perfect as it was.

WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS FUCK I DON'T EVEN

She also spends most of the game moping over the guy and having lame inner monologues.

They make way too big a deal out of her being a woman.

well, I can kind of understand the fact of her thinking/talking about Adam cause she mentions him in Metroid Fusion and she basically thought he was a good guy. Not being like 'OH WAAAAAH I RUV ADAM SEW MUCH' but he was her comrade, and possibly the only person she'd consider as such.

yeah, samus isn't like 'I AM WIMMIN HEAR ME ROAR' or anything she's basically just a sexless action hero. AND THIS IS HOW I LIKE HER MMKAY

 

[crack]

if she was portrayed as someone strong, woman in rl are going to get ideas and that's never good

 

[Max Payne]

Samus being a woman never factored into who she was in past games, it shouldn't now.

She was just a badass space warrior who happened to be female.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

It's made by Team NINJA. Don't they go to great lengths to degrade women? Saw this coming when they announced the game at last year's E3.

No. It's made by nintendo's Sakamoto. The story and game structure are his, Ninja only worked on combat.

It's always been a collaboration.

 

[Shademp]

I am not pleased with this. On no level does this make sense. Samus is a tough warrior, strengthened by the experiences she had at a young age (read the manga!). She is past the post-traumatic stress disorder stuff. Come on. If anything they should have had her say something cocky, like, "you are one persistent ghost". That would emphasize her emotional distance to past trauma.

Just...GAH!

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Thank god Ridley stood 3 inches away and screamed at her constantly to allow her to reflect on her past, get orders issued, and get prepared to fight. God forbid he actually attack her rather than patronize her and just wait for her to shoot him in the face. It's like a non-stop invitation saying, "For the love of god, shoot me in the esophagus already!"

[Hisako]

Co-incidentally, from what I've heard the combat system is supposedly the only good thing going for the game.


Which says a lot about either Team Ninja, or Nintendo, or both

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

Sakamoto MADE Samus, backstory of her being a badass and all. HOW CAN HE EVEN DO THIS I DON'T EVEN

I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST FAITH IN EVERYTHING

 

[Geostigma]

I'd rather just buy the metroid pack for wii again then even play this garbage.

 

[Super Mario]

Let's put Samus in dead or alive xtreme 3.

Let's put Samus in dead or alive xtreme 3.

let's put Samus in DoA beach volleyball. Ridley with a bow and inflatable boobs is unlockable.

 

[Vendel]

let's put Samus in DoA beach volleyball. Ridley with a bow and inflatable boobs is unlockable.

I would at least rent it.

And yeah. Pretty pathetic performance from our ball gal.

[Super Mario]

I'm sure that will count as a terrifying and exciting moment to alot of fans.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

This is possibly the dumbest shit I've ever seen. And I endured Soulcalibur Legends.

The game or Ridley with a bow and inflatable tits?

 

[Super Mario]

Why does Ridley's name always point me to Ridley Scott?

 

[Hisako]

iunno man how many films has Metroid Ridley directed, huh? HUH?


Didn't think so.
