    Metroid: Other M

    in General Discussion

    FFXII is the best game that plays like it does, which, unfortunately, is by itself not very good. The game has an interesting setting, great music, and is bound to keep you busy for hours if you fall into it.

    If you can stand boring mmo gameplay, which I totally understand if you don't.

    I still play video games on a big chunky TV, and mostly with my Wii. I have no reason to buy a new TV right now, and fact of the matter is that not only is that true for a huge buttload of people, but people want it to continue being true.

    Sony is marketing to the people who are willing to go out and buy a 5000 dollar TV so they can play 3D Call of Duty 9. Nintendo is marketing to everyone else. It's a no brainer who the more profitable group is.

    These days, you can get a decent HDTV for $500-$700(I understand you mentioned 3D TVs), but yeah, the whole 3D thing is silly imo. I don't see it taking off. It's way too expensive to invest in the TV and glasses for anyone that wants to play/watch.

    Sorry to sort of change the topic here ;), but what does everyone think the M in Other M actually meant? Was it ever specified in the game? It may have flown over my head.

    I said this on page 5, and I think I may have been right :P

    (spoiler)"Could be "Other Motherbrain". You never know. ;)"

    Well, in this case, Other MB.(spoiler)

    In my opinion,(spoilers) I feel that the reason Adam shot her out of no where is so he could prevent any chance of Samus proceeding into that room full of the Metroids. You see how worried Adam gets and how he rushes off to get to her once he finds out where she is going. Since the Metroids have become immune to cold, he knew that she would not be able to destroy them without destroying herself in the process. Adam prevented her from going out to try and rescue his brother, so he was just doing the same thing in this situation: trying to protect her. (end spoilers)

    Many mixed feelings with this game. Although I don't regret my purchase one bit, I'd probably say I have more negative feelings than good ones. I understand this game was trying to be much different than other Metroid titles, so I welcome the idea of bringing new ideas to any game. Sometimes, they aren't always for the best, in my opinion. I understand others opinions may not agree with mine.

    This probably gets brought up a bunch, but I HATED the way you "upgrade" your items/suit etc. I can understand not being able to use power bombs, but everything else is just ridiculous. Also, why were there not different models for your suit upgrades? :\

    I didn't really care too much for the finishing moves and fast-paced action when battling enemies.

    I didn't like the auto-aim, but then again I don't think the game would work too well without it.

    I didn't like that you can replenish your missiles on the fly. Enemies have always dropped energy/ammo. This should have been kept the same.

    The forced first-person parts that made you scan something to proceed were pretty annoying. Some scenes I found what you're looking for quickly, while other times I spent a few minutes looking around like an idiot. Probably user error on my part. :P

    On the topic of first-person, the way it switched from third to first person worked well. Obviously, it just sucks that you can't move at all. I didn't care for the idea that you can only use missiles in first-person mode.

    The game felt too linear to me for a Metroid game. I didn't really do too much backtracking, and I finished the game with 37% items. Since you can recharge your missiles in most situations, I didn't really feel the need to to get a whole lot. I forgot how many E-tanks I got, maybe 4 or 5.

    A lot of time obviously went into the cinematic pieces, and I think they were done magnificently. The flashback cinematic to the end of Super Metroid was great.

    Another thing I hated is the music. Well, the lack of I guess.

    I might have left out a couple of things, like things related to the story, but I'll probably post about that at a later time. All in all, the game looks great, give or take a few areas. It's not the best Metroid title, but it's not the worst. I've been a fan of the series for a long time, which I'm sure a lot of you are, but I'm just so used to the classic style of Metroid that the new ideas brought into this game just didn't agree with me.
