I'll will probably give in and get this game. Currently making my way through a few others at the moment, though, so I don't know when that will be. Maybe 2 or 3 months from now. If it has a price drop by then, fine. If not, this game looks quality and worth the full $60.

I've read about concerns of the game length and lack of MP, but those are not things I would fret about. I don't play games as often as I would like, so a 4-8 hour game would take me a good 2-3 weeks (maybe more if it's as difficult as I've read). As for MP, that's a feature I tend to ignore completely in most games.

Just watched the G4 review. Harsh stuff. Butt shots of Samus, her fixation on her love interest (refusing to use weapons systems unless he gives her permission) and her ability to generate missiles by concentrating really hard indicate that Itagaki molded Team Ninja in his own image. It will be interesting to see how the Metroid fanbase takes it (of course, the only way to measure that will be to see how well Metroid Other M 2 sells).CarnageHeart

"Butt shots of Samus"

I recently watched a "making of" video that is posted on the Nintendo Channel and learned that Team Ninja had nothing to do with the CG portions of the game. Nintendo actually worked with someone else directly in creating these sequences.

"her fixation on her love interest"

Team Ninja had nothing to do with the story, and it seems many people are blaming them for it. The story was written by Yoshio Sakamoto...the same man who was responsible for Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid: Zero Mission. I think he was also involved in the original Metroid, as well.

"her ability to generate missiles by concentrating really hard"

I don't understand why they made such a big deal of this point. If you watch the talkabout video on G4, they talk about how unrealistic it is to regenerate by concentrating. To me, it's no more ridiculous than it was in past Metroid games where enemies would drop health and missiles when killed. What are enemies doing carrying health and missiles and other power ups that may help their sworn enemy along the way? Other critically acclaimed games out there don't require you to do anything to regenerate health...just take cover for a few seconds and everything will be alright.

All that being said, I still haven't made a decision on whether or not to buy this game.

Seriously, this is the first 10 game in two years, and nobody is talking about it? I've just bought this game off amazon (used $20 gift card from Red Dead Redemption) and I want discussion!

DISCUSS HOW IMPRESSED YOU ARE WITH THIS GAME GODDAMMIT!!!

Got_to_go

I'm still waiting on Galaxy 2 to come in the mail, so RDR will work to tide me over, but dammit I still haven't received my gift card yet, what the hell.

It took a little while for me too. I ordered it on the eighteenth, and I received it today, so it should take about a week.

Ordered my copy from Amazon on Saturday (May 23). They still haven't shipped it. Says they'll ship it on the 28th and I choose the "I'm a cheap***" option, so I won't be getting it until sometime between June 3 - 7 according to them. Really regretting being a cheap*** right now...

I'm at world 1-4 now. Reached the boss twice, was pretty easily handled by him (but not killed...thanks Evacuation) both times. I haven't touched the game in over 2 weeks, though. Got distracted by Monster Hunter Tri and picking up Red Dead Redemption this Tuesday. Maybe I'll try again this weekend. Great game, but I don't plan on going for Platinum. To much time spent farming for rocks/stones/ores. I'd rather spend that time playing other games.

What was the name of that arcade game...... ugh.

It was like contra but with cowboys.

TheHighWind

You may be thinking of Sunset Riders. I enjoyed that one when I was younger...both in the arcades and on my Genesis. Also, Gun is only a few years old. That game was okay, also.

How old is your TV? If it was made within the past 10 years there should be component inputs (red, blue, green). If so, you may want to try using component cables to get a better picture if you're not already doing so.

Interesting idea. Would you want it so you could record everything, though? If so, I don't really know anyone that would be interested in watching a 6-8 hour movie.

FPS...mostly war themed FPS.

I'll be getting it, I just don't know when. I'm still having a blast with Demon's Souls and I still need to get No More Heroes 2 and Heavy Rain.

Honestly, this game is not being released at the best time. I don't why they couldn't have delayed the release a bit. Summer is always wide open and then they could have included the bits that are being cut.

Blech. It's the usual Wii story. The good games come out on 360/PS3, Wii gets crappy spinoff. locopatho

Well, Dragon Quest X is not a spinoff or crappy port so lets all hope SE gets it right with that one, eh?
