WTF happened to Metroid ?!?!

I baffed!

I played Metroid Prime 1 on GC, it was slow but immersive and you really felt like you were lost sometimes...

Skip 2 and 3 (have yet to play them :D)

Just got a copy of Metroid Other M from my mates shop and WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL IS THIS!?!?

If I wanted to play Hayabusa in Ninja Gaiden I would've hooked up my microwa...I mean my Xbox to my TV and broke some XXL Xbox pads....

Seriously, OK so I should've watched the trailers or something before getting it, this is like a spin off (in terms of how it plays) to the Metroid series, I can't play this, it's like RE5 style shooting and Ninja Gaiden style enemies! For me this doesn't work......

I was confused as soon as the game told me to remove the nunchuk!!!

Have you played beyond the first like ten minutes? :P

Nah, because I was shooting around a VR room at some stupid enemies like Ninja Gaiden, please tell me I didn't play it long enough

Um, that means you played the game for about twenty seconds before stopping. That's the equivalent of opening a book, reading the word "the", and deciding it's bad.

You tell me.

Please play the game for about 5 hours until speaking of it again. Spinoff? You haven't played any 2D Metroids have you? Other M is like a more actiony 3D version of those. And RE5? What the hell are you talking about?

And RE5? What the hell are you talking about?

I think he's referring to how you can't move around when you shoot in the first person mode.

Metroid, Metroid II, super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion are all 2D Metroid games and they are all made by Intelligent systems. Retro made The Metroid Prime trilogy which is a spin off series based on the same franchise, but with different gameplay mechanics. Metroid Other M is made by Team ninja and Intelligent Systems and is a return to the original type of gammeplay with some changes.

IMO Metroid Other M is a love letter to the original fans of Metroid. It's wins with huge amounts of fanservice (not the sexual kind)

The prime series while awesome was not how metroid started. Metroid other M is a throwback to the old school 2D metroids. You don't seem to be familiar with the series enough to judge.

I honestly think your ignorance is the source of your confusion. Next time you should actually try playing a game before you make uninformed opinions.

Next

This is typical for people who don't know the metroid universe outside of the prime series. If you ask me super metroid, metroid fuzion and other pre prime series games are the best in the series. Metroid other M is a worthy entry and better than prime 2 & 3. You obviously made a poor decision in buying the game which was hindered by your own ignorance and knowledge of Metroid. You also should have researched Other M before buying it and you should have spent more than 10 minutes playing the game before making judgement

This is....the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Play the game. You admitted you didn'tthen compared it to a game it's nothing like because the developer made that same game. That's the logic of down syndrome sloth.....that's dead.

The only thing wrong with your copy of Metroid is that it's in the hands of bad gamer. Play it. And love it.

For all those people complaining about me not playing the 2D metroids, I have played them, they were OK and yes I believe they're overrated, but that's besides the point, you can't say to me to play the older ones before I start hating on the new one.....

that's like me comparing Mario 1 to Mario Galaxy, it was a different time with different gameplay.

Metroid Other M (about 4 hours in) so far feels as if I'm in 2003 or something, the controls need updating.

That's the logic of down syndrome sloth.....that's dead.

Comparing this game to Metroid Prime is still nonsense. Other M plays just fine, it's like the GBA Metroids in semi 3D and those were REAL Metroid games and in fact, the Prime Trilogy is the spin-off of the Metroid series (great nonetheless).

wow i am shocked this troll topic hasn't been lockedelbert_b_23

How Is someones opinion Trolling? That Is how the OP feels and I think they are obligated to their opinion, some people just judge to quicky that's all.

Wait.. I thought Metroid was a guy.

What is this? I don't even...

lol, yeah, I hear the game is a lot more actiony then even the old 2D metroid games. So playing it just after Metroid Prime may seem strange. I love both 2D and 3D metroids. I also like Team Ninja games, so i can't wait to play this.

Too bad for you i guess, personally, i think is a great game, oh, and this is coming from someone who have actually played (and loved) other Metroid games besides Prime (i have only missed Hunters and Return of Samus)

that's like me comparing Mario 1 to Mario Galaxy, it was a different time with different gameplay.

zideeq

And yet you are comparing Prime with Other M :roll:

Dude go for it! I'd be honored ;)

Metroid Other M mixs both world of the 2D games and ones from the Prime games.

Metroid, Metroid II, super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion are all 2D Metroid games and they are all made by Intelligent systems. Retro made The Metroid Prime trilogy which is a spin off series based on the same franchise, but with different gameplay mechanics. Metroid Other M is made by Team ninja and Intelligent Systems and is a return to the original type of gammeplay with some changes.

GabuEx

That line made my day.

I haven't played Other M, but its definitely the first Metroid game that involves physical combat and that's more of how I imagine Samus being able to fight. In the old games, Samus didn't have physical combat abilities simply because of game limitations, and the Prime series didn't have it because of the first person perspective. While I enjoyed the Prime series, the games really failed to show Samus as a true warrior.TheLordMagnus

I prefer to hate on team ninja over nintendo because nintendo is better ;) I haven't played it yet but it sounds odd and interesting.

Ah young kiddies who only knows of Prime series...this is Metroid back to its roots with enhancements. ;) Its a great game..loving this one more than Prime series - cause I don't get motion sickness. :P

I have played Super Metroid and Prime and with it being a mix of both I can tell you the controls are awkward and the way you heal and refill is annoying as anything.

Wow, I didn't realize U.S. Marines wore cyber suits that took incredible amounts of damage and augmented their strength to super human levels.TheLordMagnus

I don't believe samus's suit gives her super strength. Also, how should having armor differnitate your motive to using range weapons or using melee weapons?

Or the fact that this is a video game and you compared it to real life combat.TheLordMagnus

Our definition of "True Warrior differs"

You think it's the hollywood style action hero, who would finish off his/her enemies in a dramatic and flashy style.

I think it's a warrior who effectivley defeat enemies using cunning tactics and strategies regardless of how they do it.

Fighting at range is not always an option for Samus...especially in close corridors. Its pretty stupid to think her enemies are going to stay at arm's length all the time where she can just wail on them with range weapons.TheLordMagnus

It worked for her in the previous metroid games.

Wait.. I thought Metroid was a guy.

What is this? I don't even...
