Can someone explain to me why this DISGUSTING thing is in my Metroid game?
>>725962284Nintendo fundamentally does not understand the appeal of any of their franchises except baby-tier stuff like Mario and Donkey Kong
>>725962284the Jews got into Japan
Probably some self insert.
>>725962284>brown OP afraid of some whity pimpA tale as old as time
Looks funny. I hope he annoys Samus and she rolls her eyes at almost everything he says or is completely stoic to his antics.
>>725962284You guys wanted accurate representation of straight white men in vidya. Wish granted.
>>725962284They pulled from Alien, the root of inspiration for Metroid. They didn't understand that isolation was the key to Metroid's success as an atmospheric game. No one likes the federation. No one wants quips from side characters. But no one wants to develop a Metroid game that would accurately continue the legacy of isolation from earlier games which is why the franchise has floundered for decades.
>>725962703unfortunately, they pulled from nu-Alienwhich is absolute garbage
>>725962284i thought chuds wanted some vidya representation? what's wrong with this?
>>725962891no that's a redditor, a real pussy free stone cold incel chud wouldn't even talk to a woman like samus
>>725962968nah, you're a redditor.
Americans ruin everything from japan
>>725962284He's Samus's love interest
The Prime games aren't Metroid games.>b-but Prime 1 was good thoughIt wasn't.
>>725963053no im from digg
>shitendo turning to ugly snoy tranny designThank god for valve
>>725962284>what's wrong with this?Absolutely nothing.>>725963128BASED.
OMG IS THAT DISGUSTING NERD??? ICK!!!!
Someone wrote himself into the universe so he can canonically be the closest male to Samus.
>>725962284How long until nintendo fire their western employees?
>>725962284is this a man or a woman?
>>725963383i remember reading somewhere else that he actually had nothing to do with that and it was a joke by other people working on the show
just say youre a nazi
>>725962284I sure can't wait for him to never shut the fuck up
I hope the oneyplays boys lay it and roast that faggot redditor. Make sure cory is there I think he’d have funny things to say about him.
>>725962703Reason why Prime 1 was such a master piece was the insanely deep atmosphere from the moment you landed on Talos IV. The music, the sound effects, the visuals, it was just 10/10 perfect. Now imagine how different that moment would have been with some random nerd throwing reddit tier quips about it.
>>725963606>credited as writer and voiced the characterare you retarded
>>725965772and now we wait for someone to post the correction with source...
>>725965772just because he leaned into a joke doesn't mean that he's the one that came up with it originally
>>725962284>white
>>725962284>whiteGOD
>>725962284Game is meant to appeal to the millennial audience
>>725962284he is for me to self insert as, they say opposites attract maybe he will even get a smooch from samus at the end
>>725965924>haha what if we wote you in as being one of the main character's crushes wouldn't that be ZAINY?No Jared, this is not how humans work.
>>725965852https://archive.is/ffjUj so yeah the character wasn't created by him, they modeled the character after him and then asked if he'd voice the character. basically a kind of in-joke from the producers of the show.
>>725962284Take a look at the writers, nobody worked in the OG.Megan Fausti, 2020-2022Tracy Nicoletti, 2022-2023Jesse Keeter, joined Retro in 2022.
>>725966689>two women writers
>>725966791Ey Chud, Megan worked on SW Fallen Order.
>>725962284What’s the matter, afraid of modern “humor”?
>>725963245Not only is that a man but Valve is full of black characters.
>>725962284I have chud fatigue
>>725963489Man.
>>725962284It's not your Metroid game, snoy.
>>725962284You can do quirky reddit personality or you can do an ugly ass motherfucker. Doing both makes the character unbearable for 90% of your potential customers.
>>725967554Nobody likes le quirky shit.
>>725962284Samus is nintendo's doomguy so when eternal dropped quippy intern man like typical jap fashion they put their own in years after that fad has worn thin like the unoriginal hack they are.
>>725967306>Retro hires ex-343 devs>fans are astonished why Prime 4 feels like nu-Halo
All the new Metroid Prime 4 characters look like reject Halo characters
>>725966689It's so over
>>725962284this is a direct response to Other M's backlash, they are convinced people hated samus showing emotion, so they are now focusing even more on the side characters becasue... they want to sell amiibos i guess??
>>725968239hack western writers can't commit most of their usual sins putting quirk chungus in everything with the usual Metroid format of 1 person alone on a hostile alien world, they need side characters to make into quirky black muslim lesbians or whatever
lol tendrones are seething

>>725962284hey they added me into the game
>>725962284bazinga!
>>725966689uh oh
>>725962284Fuck Nintendo, God fucking damnit
>>725969165Why does this tendie hates Silksong anyway?
>>725969410But wait, it gets worse.
>>725968239>this is a direct response to Other M's backlashAre you retarded? Other M was 15 YEARS ago, and there has been several Metroid games since, it's not much of a direct response now is it. >they are convinced people hated samus showing emotionYou can do that without inserting some quippy joss wedon retard redditor character.

>>725969546>getting angry about a game being cheaperSeriously?
>>725962284Samus is silent, attractive, cool and a woman so the hack fraud book of how to write for dummies says there needs to be a counter balance. Here, have an ugly, lame, unnatractive man who never shuts up.
>>725962284If it was a cute nerdy asian girl tendies would have LOVED this character.But it's an ugly nerdy jewish male.Probably one of the worst things they could have picked.

>>725970837Okay, Eric.
This thread was made by Eric. He's a snoy and massive GameCube fanboy that's been spamming /v/ with anti-Switch pedaling for a good decade, he's a weekly villain in Famitsu threads and he reports them over and over for calling him out or for spreading facts he thinks needs to be hidden from /v/ (namely sales of Nintendo hardware and software compared to PlayStation and Steam Deck).If you see posts saying GameCube games are better than Switch games, it's Eric. If you see posts saying Sonic CrossWorlds is better than MK World, it's Eric. If you see the same posts sucking Iwata's dick, it's Eric. If you see the same anti-Nintendo threads popping up over and over, it's Eric. If you see the same posts shilling piracy and emulators, it's Eric. If you see someone denying the existence of Eric and calling him a made-up boogeyman, it's Eric. If you see someone unironically using terms like "tendies" or "Switchfags" and making hyperbolic statements, it's Eric. If you see a red OP image with a Nintendo-related thing, asking some dumb open question, it's Eric. If you see the same repeated lines over and over again, it's Eric samefagging. If you see a massive wall of replies to one post, it's Eric samefagging himself, they'll all be a minute apart. He's always resetting his router and ban evading, and flooding the catalog, and he's got at least a few gigabytes of CP to end any thread that isn't going his way.He's also a massive OoT fanboy that was so buckbroken by BotW's commercial and critical success that he's determined to make it the most despised game in history, he wants to change the narrative and erase the perceived damage against him.
>>725962452i think it's worseits some jewish femoid son insert ( hi cant score)
>>725968602It's already happening anon why do you think his suit is partly yellow? It reeks of higher-ups shoving him in against the devs wishes for them to design him like that.

>>725967306I feel like the intern was just an excuse to have a character call him Doomguy
>>725970094No, the tone of Metroid games was never quirky reddit trash
>>725971467That would make me even MORE uncomfortable with the joke
>>725962284Retro Studios is Austin-based. Like every blue dot city part of a communist-fueled university, it was compromised by the city's culture.They will never make a good game again.

>>725970398False flag post.
>>725962284>my Metroid gameAnon you realize these games are made with children in mind, right? Surely you're not in your 30s getting mad that it wasn't made for you in mind
>>725970263Probably from the same school of modern thought that thinks all characters NEED to show their faces when speaking, and that non-humans aren't relatable.
>>725970462This is worse than regular capeshit tho.
>>725972024There was another guy working on the writing til 2019.
>>725968962Everyone wants to have the MGS2 npc that shits themselves
So who asked for cinematic woke writing in the Metroid games again? Why is this necessary?
>>725962703I don't think a Metroid game necessarily has to be completely devoid of other characters. Halo 1 I think did a good job of feeling isolating but still having other characters like Cortana and Sgt Johnson. But there certainly shouldn't be some doofus following you screaming whenever an enemy appears. Hopefully this character is just in the beginning and the other characters aren't as annoying.

And this board only changed it's opinion after other people and sites pointed out how retarded and wrong PS was?The more angry /v/ gets over an issue, the more likely it is that it's completely pointless and just culturewar, idpol, or consolewar retardation.

>>725972426I mean, an entire character with a lot of screen time is very different from the other petty stuff you mentioned though. One bad character can absolutely ruin a game, if they’re prominent and offensive enough. It’s absurd to say otherwise. If that’s petty, what isn’t petty?
>>725962284
>>725971467Samus is trans and bigender now so it makes no difference.

>>725962382Nintendo told Retro not to put in new cutscenes into Metroid Prime Remastered. This is more than likely a Retro issue, and it got through because Nintendo got sick of the game being constantly rebuilt and eating up funds.

>>725972426Still not buying your wokeslop.
ATTENTIONI will NOT be buying Prime 4 if it has reddit humor or reddit vibes.Thank you for your attention on this matter.
Someone answer this and answer it fucking seriously. There isn't a single human you talk to in the original metroid prime or super metroid (the most popular games in the series) so why in the everloving mother of god do they insist on trying to add human characters to this universe? They did it in 3 and it was insanely half-baked and just bogged down the game. They did it in Other M and it was a massive bomb. Did a single human being REALLY care about Rundus or ADAM?
>>725972426LookBasically I'm just not gonna buy itI knoooooowwww I knowwwwwwwww UGGGGGHHHHI'm not not buying it is all

>>725972979It's rooted in international market shit to appease those who lack empathy and the ability to understand subtext on a biological level. Especially in regards to the Chinese.
>tutorial combined with an escourt mission combined with yellow paint combined with quipy bullshit its like they made my nightmare scenario a reality id be impressed if i was not so full of blinding rage
If they were going to have some sidekick guy, they should have just made him a plain Fed engineer or scientist. Give him a suit similar but obviously tailored to his work from standard Fed armors and make him hold his own against fodder. Give a little bit of emotion to things that would surprise someone in his field but ultimately tone him down to feel trained and for the love of fuck don't make him give quips.
>>725962284You are fat and bald OP
>>725973864samus is the kind of character who could use a robot dog.
>>725972510self insert is always cringe
It's amazing how one character completely mindbroke snoys.
I knew it was gonna be horrendous the moment I read it was delayed for being so shit that even Nintendo didn't want to release it. And these guys released Other M.
>>725973997how do you know?
Don't throw the ball too fast because I may get startled and I have asthma.
>>725973580
>>725962284REDDIT is the answer
>snoys already seething this hardyep, it's going to sell like crazy and break revenue records
>>725972663So is he with Samus through the whole game then, or is it tutorial/side-mission thing?Because I can enjoy RPGs that have characters I don't like. I had Wyll with me through BG3 and I'm not the biggest fan of Tomi in NWN but he sure opens locks. I also finished Grandia 1&2 with eng dub and enjoyed them.Anyway, if that NPC is through the whole fucking game then fine. I'm not buying MP4 either because that ruins whole exploration aspect of Metroid if he follows you everywhere.But most likely this is a "who cares?" situation and people just wanting to complain about something rather than doing actual IRL things.On top of recent NDS. Hell, this fucking board quotes(mainly through game journos which is even more embarrassing) that random corposhill blogger who rants about Nintendo nonstop.>>725972772>/v/ never had issue with BM:Wukong, you are full of shitFucking lol. Sere /v/'s opinion on China and ask again. People only "liked" it after Astroshit won "literallywhocares" GOTY. Otherwise you had nonstop playernumber threads and people screeching how China inflated the player numbers and other shit.>People just found it funny that's it>Shartyspamming wojaks and cuckoldry shit is "fun"I bet you love "Black City" and "Weak to Dark-types" pokemon threads. Peak comedy.
>>725972426The only good game on your list is Silksong. Every other game is putrid trash. Get better taste.
honestly i could have ignored everything about it but they had to make him a fucking escort mission i fucking HATE those with a passion i donrt play game to babysit retards who cant even steer clear of obvious danger
>>725973580OGstrongbros...our response?
>>725973934This doesn't appeal to Chinks at all.
>>725973921>hurr durr it's not quippy, it's quippy cringe!Which is what this Prime 4 shit is. This is such an incredibly retarded thing to start splitting hairs over. It's the same trash garbage modern writing.
>>725974327>Fucking lol. Sere /v/'s opinion on China and ask again. People only "liked" it after Astroshit won "literallywhocares" GOTY. Otherwise you had nonstop playernumber threads and people screeching how China inflated the player numbers and other shit.Fuck off I was there from the get go. /v/ always hated chinks but people were hopeful on Wukong, Assmongoloid has nothing to do with it. Things especially took drastic turn when media began to shit unfarily on Wukong and give it low scores on made up premise, /v/ still hates and hates chink but most rallied behind the game because it did nothing wrong and genuinely was alright experience, even if it didnt catch any starsFuck off fucking tourist, trying to git in too hardGO.BACK.
>>725974365Agreed.
>>725974418That comic is behind everything that's wrong with Metroid btw

>>725972426Sakuraijiggaboos gonna fold at this trvke
>>725962284Normalfags need to know where to go and what to do, Anon. Yellow paint man is considered the "diegetic" way to do this in modern American game design.
>>725973720How many times do I have to tell you morons Nintendo wants the unwashed whales from AC, Zelda and FE playing Metroid since Other M? Sidekicks? Women.Wide, intrusive, hierarchy heavy supporting cast? Women.Joss Whedon writing? Women.Random motherhood analogies? Women.Nonsense grievances and obsessive standing up to authority figures without any real need, and then making peace/wanting to fuck father figure? Women.Pace breaking cutscene heavy storytelling? Women.Overbearing, God of War level handholding before you even get a chance to think? Women.Non-stop white noise dialogue? Women.Interruptions to immersion? Women.Button = awesome in previously mechanically intensive formula? Women.This is the most "we want the X audience" game to ever be released by Nintendo and I don't understand how /v/ of all places is missing it. It'd take having no familiarity with the seri- Oh.>>725973934>to appease those who lack empathy and the ability to understand subtext on a biological level.Yes, women.
>>725974679The average incel is a jew?
>>725963383same phenotype, what a coincidence
>>725962284Casuals. Normalfags. American Corporate Culture prioritising potential over reality.
>>725974465he's a sidekick you fucking moron, samus is not bantering with this gay nerd about how she has a wedgie in her power suit. capeshit dialogue is a completely different kind of cringe, this is just a disgusting reddit version of navi.
>>725962284we have space travel, ships, suits, helmets, visors, insane shitbut we're using using $60 frames you can pick up from Costco?
When did Samus turn from bounty hunter into generic superhero?
>>725974943When America got hold of the series.
>>725974943she never was a bounty hunter in that wayshe was always more like a freelance specialist, she never hunted bounties but rather took missions too dangerous for anyone else to handle
Eric won yet again
>>725962284I'm fine with it as long as he dies and isn't a love interest
>>725974760>ACArmored Core?
>>725974943Super Metroid
>>725975271Autismal Crossdressing.
>>725974449The MCU quite literally did. Did you also know that they had to add a fucking narrator to their T&J dub so that their bug brains could comprehend it?
>>725974760Why would women play a first person Metroidvania?
>>725974943I think its actually Nintendo's fault. Retro wanted her to be like han solo or bobba fett but when it was revealed to nintendo what the definition of bounty hunter was they freaked out and said no, shes a super police man. Then you started getting all this federation shit and she began to act like an extension of the military.
>>725975427Why would women play video games in general? Especially if it doesn't get them attention.
>>725973720Tanabe is not one to get off scot-free, he's the mastermind behind Federation Force. Sakamoto usually doesn't touch the Prime series. Prime = Tanabe
>>725975368>T&JTom and Jerry?
>>725975427They won't, but the theory is they would if it got violated beyond recognition to their needs. And think of the pitch to suits: the first FPS to connect with female audiences. I know /v/ is extremely in denial about it, but Nintendo's business philosophy is very much in line with any other AAA publisher since the changes in command.
>>725975494>Why would women play video games in general?There are many video game genres that are popular with women. Puzzle, Casual, RPGs, MMOs, some gachas and even Fortnite. First person action is among the least popular types of games among women.
>>725971075based ericschizo
>>725975449She could be a lawful Bounty Hunter tho. Kinda like Cowboy Bebop.
>>725962284I'm so glad I'm no longer a Nintendo customer, lol
>>725975824They explicitly said they didn't like the fact that she was motivated by money or personal gain and they wanted her to be more motherly or some shit. Their interpretation just does not allow for any kind of bounty hunter spin.
>>725975612Yup to explain what is happening ex. "OH NO TOM IS ABOUT TO HAVE AN ANVIL DROPPED ON HIS HEAD HE DOESN'T KNOW AND IT'S GOING TO BE PAINFUL! OUCHIE OUCH OUCH THE ANVIL JUST DROPPED ON HIS HEAD THIS IS VERY HUMOUROUS HAHAHA WE ALL LAUGH BECAUSE THIS IS VERY HUMOUROUS!"
>>725963383just wanted to post this, kek
>>725963606>>725965924>>725971467>haha, what if, just listen, haha you gus wrote me in fucking this kid as a joke. haha
i can't wait for the game to release so that everyone forgets about the tutorial NPC because shitposters have moved onto saying that the game is woke because the camera doesn't go up Samus' asscrack in the ending
>>725974573>Assmongoloid has nothing to do with itI never mentioned him, why even bring some braindead e-celeb "reaction" streamer up? Didn't Vtumors play it too?>Things especially took drastic turn when media began to shit unfarily on Wukong and give it low scores on made up premiseThis is true, but again mainly for consolewar and other corposlut reasons. Otherwise anons complained about China and the discussion being inorganic and pushed by China.The opinion literally changed just because of journos + astroshit winning an award. Otherwise you saw middling "this game isn't bad" or """funny""" wojak "STOP MAKING HECKIN' WUKONG THREAD, CHUD!!!!" kind of spam that only """inept incels""" like me would dislike.
>>725976871You're half right. First they aren't going to buy this trash first of all, THEN they're going to move on while Nintendo continues to sink.
>>725976871Meanwhile the "true" fans will gloat about sales and metacritic, and never discuss the game ever again.It's happening with Kirby right now, Mario, Donkey Kong, and Splatoon. You guys don't care about your games.
>>725972510>old /v/ would find jews doing jew things based instead of cringeRope, bombs, gas chambers, they're all yours my friend, as long as you have enough shekels
>>725972608Retards complained about that (and they still are). Real people recognized the good qualities of Metroid Prime.
>>725968416>Metroid game>escort missionFucking dropped. I was already pretty annoyed by the bike open world bullshit but this kills it for me.I remember when Metroid games were METROIDvanias.This yellow chud character is irrelevant.
>>725962284I just play the original Metroid trilogy and the original Prime trilogy and pretend nothing else exists.
>>725976895If the game was truly shit the opinion would never have changed
>>725977137They're basically holding up a dead animal and bragging that it made them money just to feel less bad about them supporting an already dead animal.
>>725977254Everything after Super doesn't exist.
>>725962382Nintendo is the one who didn't understand Prime and didn't like NPCs in Metroid games. This is purely a Retro issue.
>>725977364Then explain Other M, which was entirely on Nintendo.
>>725977364No actually it's a Nintendo issue. They are the source of the problem because they hired Retro to do something they could've done themselves and probably better.
>>725977449Sakomoto got demoted upwards more than 2 decades ago Anon. Stop hanging onto that outlier when Dread proved Nintendo can do it just fine.
>>725976871Now that I think about it, Other M is the least woke Metroid game.It has a mentally unstable woman who needs permission from a man to do fucking anything and she gets emotional distress when fighting with the bad guy.Surprising that anons don't praise the writing more when in other games Samus is a super powerful and unstoppable badass and literally covered up from head to toe in super powerful armor that she just owns because she was raised and trained by aliens rather than training some guy plus Samus is super strong without her suit too.Kinda interesting.
>>725968239Here's an idea: make the player feel the emotion.You know, like Metroid Prime did. Hylics wouldn't understand. They can't just appreciate the serenity of nature, or the sadness of the quiet ruins of dead civilization. They need some Faglor to spell it out for them.>dude, can we all just take a moment to appreciate this epic tree??Bro, I was until you started talking. Shut the fuck up.
Metroid is the most 'mature' game Nintendo has.It is natural to have people walking around and interacting with eachother, but Nintendo shouldn't had added ~le funny characater like capeshit movies.
>>725977545>Dread is an example of it being done fine
>>725977546other m sucks because samus's arm cannon looks like a dog dick
>>725977672You're going to have to explain to the class what was wrong with Dread's NPCs.
>>725969410>this bitch makes samus trans (only in English translation)>internet takes to it, becomes widely accepted>game sells bajillions>japan makes it official in next Metroid game with gender neutral pronounsWhat do you do in this scenario? Who do you kill, yourselves or Megan?
>>725977813my head canon becomes anytime she wins a fight her suit jacks her off
>>725977783>"Adam" never shuts up>Quiet Robe exposition dump when nobody cares>Samus having LE HECKIN QUIRKY CHUNGUS chozo lineFor starters.
>>725962703I honestly wouldn't mind teaming up with Feds if they were brick shithouse space marines, but Brian from IT and Quirk Chungus Girl can fuck off.
>>725966689>>725969410These creatures are literal parasites. They were probably hired because the company was threatened by shabad or some shit. How can you look at that and say "Oh yeah this person is going to do a great job working here"
>>725962284It's like they looked at Other M snd thought, "let's do more of that".Having NPCs in Metroid Prime is fine if done right (Metroid Prime 3 does it well for the most part), but they should not be goofy and their appearances should be limited so as not to dilute the atmosphere and feeling of exploration.
>>725967130I remember the honest to god Respawn devs who shill these games here insisting that meant nothing bad. lmao.
>>725978116this im really worried i wont be able to tolerate him for the amount of time i have to especially if he is as stupid as some characters you have to escort sometime i swear they run up and hug the enemies
>>725962284im gonna play prime 4 and fucking die aren't i....
>>725978116They shouldn't be in Metroid at all. You give people an inch, and they'll want a mile, and it'll keep going from there.
you know they should have rick moranis voice him
>he's to help new players to the series!stupid fucking defense, this level of hand-holding was never needed in metroid prime. if some mouthbreather can't figure out how to play the game on their own, thats on them.
>>725964293> "I'm scared,, Samus. You know, sometimes I want to curl up into a ball." Samus: "I curl up into a ball and poop bombs."
>>725973125Batman wasn't a stoic silent character and Robin wasn't comic relief.
>>725978581> big american clapping n the distance
>>725978450literal mouth breather herei had 0 issues figuring out metroid prime when i was a stupid teenager this is a SHIT excuse for this character
>>725962284>make sci-fi>place it in the far future where interstellar travel and genetically modified super soldiers are a thing>good chance of also being post-scarcity society where your baseline economic needs are fully met.>still write people in with fucking glasses Why do they always do this? There's no narrative reason to do this.
>>725977270>If the game was truly shit the opinion would never have changed...Yeah? The game was good but /v/ was more interested in country of origin and e-celeb shit and making up conspiracy theories about discussion and steam sales.BG3 is a good game, not GOTY at all but a good game.Hades is an excellent game but /v/ thinks it's shit because one of the Gods look androgynous and because ome God had dark skin./v/ refuses to accept many simple things. Even if it isn't just one's tastes.For example, I don't like Dark Souls but I would be an idiot to say it's bad.Meanwhile I can rant and criticize games I love for hours./v/ can only shit. Then defend something only to shit on something else.The problem is that genuine enjoyement of stuff is seen as "cringe", and constant anger is seen as good and funny as well as "ironic shitposting" and shartyspam is clearly seen as peak comedy by /v/ these days.I'm off to sleep. Sorry for not liking shartyspam and """jokes""" about cuckoldry with spice of interracial sex and babies. I guess I'm still too much of a newfag for epic sekrit club.FfsGn
>>725977546Because things don't operate on a binary where "woke writing" = bad, and "antiwoke writing" = good.Making a Metroid game all about Samus going through some emotional crisis because she was grieving the death of the Metroid hatching that she knew for five seconds before handing it over to scientists to be experimented on (where it was established she has feelings for this thing I'm not sure, exactly), and concurrently coping with a surprise meeting with her ex-boyfriend/father figure, is just wildly bizarre and an inappropriate use of the IP.Metroid is about crawling around in alien environments, and fighting strange bugs. Samus almost should not have a character, because she's you. You inhabit her body when you play these games. It's about the adventure that you're having. Not about what Samus is going through. Samus is a TOY!
>>725978450They could've just included a manual for new players. Ruining an entire game just to appease a handful of people who won't be majorly contributing to your money making is retarded.
>>725969149I found him annoying.My heart sank when the marines showed up in Halo 4 about an hour into the game and killed any sense of isolation.
>>725977957You're trying way too hard.
>>725968239She should be like her manga self. Have her be strong but motherly type. Like Ripley of Alien/Aliens who she was inspired by. Instead of these companions she should've had a shota to protect and be a mother figure. Shame they wasted an opportunity.
>>725977670Eternal Darkness is the most mature game Nintendo has.
>>725977546Your enemies don't fit your myopic, low IQ strawman? Must be a new occurrence to you, surely.
>>725978845I'd rather her have a black boyfriend. It's more accurate to her character.
>>725962284For some reason, the lone explorer on a dangerous planet is no longer appealing to the Metroid Prime audience. Apparently.So Samus, like Mario, like Donkey Kong, like Kirby, and like Link, also needs a zany companion.
>>725978745>Because things don't operate on a binary where "woke writing" = bad, and "antiwoke writing" = good.This kind of logic would work here if you hopped like +12 years back in time. Now you are just making a fool out of yourself and will lose majority of anons for implying woke writing could sometimes not be bad.
>>725969410> One of the first women characters in vidya."Sorry,, women, that's ours now."
>>725978921Gamecubesnoy opinion.
>>725962284I just destroyed the Metroid series with my freakin mind!!
>>725979107That's not what I said. I said "antiwoke writing" isn't good, just because. The New Norm isn't good. It's deeply cringe.
>>725972510Old /v/ found it cringe too
>>725971075Eric is right
>>725978924Did you reply to a wrong post?
>>725969410Basically these people are pushed by Neo-Liberals at Blackrock to further culture war distraction to enable the 1% to further turn us into pod people.
>>725970263>modern media.This shit has existed since forever.
>>725967306This isn't new. People like Batman working alone, but then it was decided we needed to have Robin ruin everything.
>>725979498>People like Batman working aloneNot anymore. Now they want more of "THE HECCIN WHOLESOME BATFAMILY"
>>725979073Doubt it. She kills monsters/aliens.
/v/ wouldn't be so mad if they had just canonized Nico instead
>>725979648Who's they? No one buy comics. All the movies are solo acts. All the movies to introduce Robin failed miserably. TV shows haven't had an audience since BTAS and JL.
>>725979720She literally flirts with a black guy in Other M.
>>725979885She doesn't and you're just spewing misinformation taking advantage of the fact that nobody's played Other M.
>>725962284Once you notice his eyelashes, you can't unnotice it.
>>725962284you stupid fucking idiot, Hollywood wants to make more Nintendo Movies. They NEED a larger cast to push it to the big time executives. Not enough people in the cast, not relatable enough to the audience. Also not enough merchandise potential if it's just a one woman show.
>>725972083I hate and detest nanohelmet bullshit so fucking much.Why can't Newton's entire clothing dissappear like her helmet? Now that I could get behind.
>>725979224>I said "antiwoke writing" isn't good, just because.So if Metroid Prime 4 had some random side mission with a soldier who made fun of left-wing, you would think majority of /v/ would find it wrong, inappropriate and that it should removed along with this many threads complaining about it?...Or would we have anons call him based and calling everyone tranny who thinks he's out of place?Modern writing is cringe, but you are insane if you don't think /v/ wouldn't love as cringe character as long as he supported their views
>>725979934Keep seething, ACfag.
I love how easy it is to tell when /v/ doesn't know even half of what they think they're talking about.Damn near every time they bitch about something it's like they've played a long-ass game of telephone and/or hyperfocus/overexagerate on minor things.And always at it's worst when a game hasn't even released yet.Even when the game is genuinely bad, they don't focus on the actual things that make it bad.I can't wait to play this and have fun with it.

If they stay the same they eventually wither and die. This is the way of the world. Get used to it, old man.
>>725980018Yeah, if a Metroid game just suddenly started "owning the libs", it would be fucking weird and inappropriate. What would that even look like? Samus turns to the camera and says we need to normalize saying "faggot" again?People who don't play Metroid games might appreciate it.Samus was raised by birds. Why does she even know what a faggot is?
>>725980001>Pikmin 4 also introduced a shitton of filler NPCs which add nothing meaningful to the writingYou might be onto something
>>725962284what the fuck? LOL, and we were laughing at the sand motorcycle
>>725980027you see, for a reasonable person its not good to spend much time on /v/I've already been posting here less and less, because the userbase has just been flooded with hivemind thinkers and retards
>>725980018>Modern writing is cringe, but you are insane if you don't think /v/ wouldn't love as cringe character as long as he supported their viewsI don't give a niggershit if /v/ would love it for that reason because I wouldn't, and I'm more important than any other faggot on this board. Everyone else feels the exact same way.
>>725980215Yes and no. Yes because these shows are fucking terrible, no because he gets to be his own character and grow instead of being thinly veiled dungeon sex slave.>>725980474I knew there was something REALLY wrong with this game with how little they were showing, I just wasn't expecting it to be that it's Borderlands.
>>725979864>No one buy comicsAbsolute Batman and mainline Batman have been consistent best sellers, though that's because Batman comic fans are genuine cattle.
>>725962703>>725962824>>725973037If you think about it, all of Metroid's major inspirations, Predator, Alien, and Star Wars have all suffered from terrible writing for decades. So Metroid is just following suit. And Alien and Predator always relied on stupid human characters as victims as horror movies.
>>725980356I literally gave you a """reasonable""" example. But you can imagine same thing in another game. Something like Borderlands but make it /pol/ or/pol/-lite. /v/ would love it. See how many like soijak spam and making fun of trannies and Indians, game full of that would unironically win /v/'s GOTY with a landslide. Slap some shitting on "tranime" and it's gonna be on every 3x3 pic.Insisting on /v/ that "antiwoke" writing can be bad is bit silly. Wrong time, wrong site.>People who don't play Metroid games might appreciate it.And most people who are "angry" about the MP4 npc prob has never touched a Metroid game. Not saying everyone, but a huge slice. Even bigger when considering who even own Switch 1/2 or were planning to buy Prime 4.Also see >>725980027

>>725962284What is xey telling us in this cutscene anon?
they know the target audience are millennial manchildren so this is for them
>>725973037The funny thing is, this speaks to a genuine lack of media literacy.Like, they don't get what Metroid is as a franchise (it's an Aliens pastiche, primarily. And maybe a little Space Adventure Cobra).They're just trying to turn it into what they know, which is yeah, Disney movies, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Halo, Half Life 2, Portal, Iron Man, gamer webcomics from 2006...
>>725981247how bout you eat my ass lil zoom zoom how bout that?
>>725980959Well Borderlands is already trash, so turning it into "based" trash would at least be funny.Metroid is supposed to have some class and prestige as a franchise though.I don't want them to flatter my political opinions. I want them to make a Metroid game.
>>725978116None of the other M npcs were bad, it was entirely Samus and her weird relationship with Adam that made that total slop.People loved Remember Me guy and none of the other fed troops were around long enough to matter.
>>725980897Why are bounty hunters so aesthetically cool... also I liked that one star wars book that had stories about all of the bounty hunters, made them all pretty badass. I think the last story was about boba fett getting old and realizing he might be done with the lifestyle too.
>>725972426>Didn't mention UltrakillCome on such an easy one
>>725962284Representation matters!
>>725981415>Metroid is supposed to have some class and prestige as a franchise though.lol
>>725981253The chozo are based on the predator aliens. An advanced alien race that's also primitive tribal warriors. Also they're alien angels. Metroid actually means ultimate hunter or warrior or something like that.
>>725981767>fans continually tell Nintendo they don't want Metroid to be reduced to corny throwaway trash like Other M or Federation Force>Nintendo still has not comprehended this
>>725981790The Chozo being a vanished race, who left their weird ruins and statues lying around, evoke the space jockey from the original Alien.
>>725981469Shame Nintendo doesn't share your appreciation. Their genuine hatred of what a bounty hunter really is got us to this point.
>>725981415>Metroid is supposed to have some class and prestige as a franchiseAnon it's a gay video toy franchise, it's not that deep.
>>725981790They are? That's new to me, give the fact Shitroid was released 1 year prior any Predator trailer
>>725962284Yellow paint now talks
>>725982190Nintendo is a genius company with the power of precognition
>>725982118It's one of the best Super Nintendo games, and displays a mastery of atmosphere building, and minimalist storytelling.People expect more of that, not slop.Not "cool motorcycles" that do the Akira reference either.That isn't Metroid. That's Ready Player One.
>>725982390>minimalist storytellingOh my god JUST FUCKING KILL FROMDRONES ALREADY
>>725981973It's a basic archetype and alien has also experimented with ancient creator aliens. But Samus' aesthetics, title, and helmet are much more in line with the Predator. Samus is somewhere between Ellen ripley, the predator, and Luke Skywalker thanks to dread adding more backstory with her chozo "Father" Raven beak.
>>725982449You know video games existed before Dark Souls, and Dark Souls was inspired by pre-existing games, yeah?
>>725981790Chozo are based on Engineers(formerly Space Jockeys) because the original "big dental patient" prop sculpted by Giger for Alien wasn't particularly clear on what the tube jutting out of the sternum was.In the original Giger painting, it's a breathing tube of sorts, as Giger wass the master of blending organic and mechanical in ways that make them indistinguishable.The west saw it as an elephant like trunk leading to the stupid AVP design for Jockey.But to the original metroid devs? It looked like a bird with a squashed-in beak. If you look at the original prop you can actually see how it could be interpreted as a parrot like beak smushed in and pointing directly parrelel with the sturnem which is precisely how Torzio looks in super.Before Ridley Scott lore raped shit with Prometheus, jack shit was known about the Jockey's except implications that they were a highly advanced race and probably created the Xenos as bio-weapons. Non-canon AVP lore was made but it sucks probably more than what Prometeus and Alien Covenant established.So those obvious factors were used for the Chozo which became especially apparent by fusion.In have extreme doubt Predator was ever a factor, the chozo were "Warriors" to justify the power armor, which was already just something Japanese sci-fi was loaded with and didn't derive much inspiration from the west.
>>725982190They added way more shit in the sequels.
>a Fromshart spoke to meFucking disgusting
>>725982496Mercury Steam took a LOT of inspiration from Stargate when designing Ravenbeak, my friend.
>>725980128>you hate a cancerous tumor that objectively nearly killed the series>haha what a loserGet the corpo dick out of your mouth.
>>725982663How does that not in the same genre? Metroid a sci fi mix of popular movies and TV and anime.
>>725981415>Metroid is supposed to have some class and prestige The prestige is overblown by tendies, prime 1 is the only time metroid had an aura that felt elevated above the average videogame.Subtle scifi just cant exist in the west, shit like metroid prime 1 and homeworld were built by a bunch of autistic men jerking off to retro or hard science fiction, the people who now play and make games are women and capeshitters who think starwars and ironman are peak scifi. even the "cooler" millennial nerds who jerk off to cowboy bebop and ghost in the shell are very different than the gen x group who was obsessed with dune, 2001 and alien.
Other M did nothing wrong
>>725982580Yeah it's a multi faceted ancient alein archetype. You can't say that the chozo's war like nature and tribalism weren't from the Predators. Metroid was pulling from all of them.
>>725982871I'm saying you're seeing "predator" in the chozo when there is very little.The Mawkin concept of the chozo is way more Goa'uld in their rampant militarism and aesthetic.Their ideology is power by any means, not "there is only the hunt".Even the fusion of melee and ranged weapons is Goa'uld as fuck.Predators are just all blades and darts and only laser things when they lose like a bitch.
>>725982083Man now I just want to reread the comics with boba fett just doing random treasure hunting and killing. He peaked there and just his presence in the original trilogy.
>>725970263MC and Cortana quip.>>725972083Wow that looks retarded
>>725982893And why are Super Metroid and Metroid Prime 1 unanimously considered the best ones, and the ones that the fans want to see emulated?
>>725970263IM MOTHAFFFUCKIN SHAAAADE BEEEEEEEEIIIIIITCH
>>725972083If you keep that helmet on while you talk will you die?
>>725983109Okay I was just bringing up one thing Metroid was probably pulling from. I didn't say predator exclusively owned all tribal militant aliens. Star Trek was already doing that shit in tv in the 60s
>>725980897>And Alien and Predator always relied on stupid human characters as victims as horror movies.Alien and Aliens didn'tPredator didn't
>>725962284what is Woody Allen doing in a metroid game???
>>725962284He's sylux>>725963128Also this
>>725972862Hollywood actors are such fucking cunts about helmets and masks. They're vain narcissists who insists that you can basically never cover their faces.
>>725983604He heard "the baby" and got here as fast as he could.
>>725983403I think the reason Echoes is considered inferior is because the later half of the game is a massive slog and the "Ing Hive" is a very empty, rushed point of the game.The Dark and Light stuff is also a tad bit more "Farscape esque" type sci-fi and not the same classic "Alien esque" sci-fi that super exhibited so that's another reason.Corruption lacked the same feeling of isolation and the way upgrades were handled was too staunchly non-metroid for people I think, though it was highly enjoyed.
>>725962284>Can someone explain to me why this DISGUSTING thing is in my Metroid game?Modern Audiences
>>725982449>snoys can't comprehend a video game that isn't just a 50 hour cinematic visual novel
>>725972579>Yellow paint on the tree where the monster landsNow theyre just taking the piss.
>>725983518Now look at these Jaffa soldiers from Stargate.
Tendies deserve this shit
>>725970276I was one of themI am now blackpilled
>>725983754Metroid Prime 2 is like the goth phase of the Metroid series. It's doing the Shadow the Hedgehog thing.I don't mind it, but it's a little lacking in class compared to the first one.>dude, look at Samus in her dark suit! She has embraced the darkness!That's very nice, Anthony. Have you done your homework?
>>725974110If they leaned into it and made him Saul Rosenberg it would have looped around to hilarious and acceptable.
So how long until people get early copies? 2 weeks?
prepare for more tendie franchises to turn into normal sloppa like tloz and animal crossing
>>725983561That's really debatable. They all had a lack of reasonable caution from what I can remember it's been awhile.
>>725975120Underrated post
>>725983981It's not just that. Having a metroid game where you're basically fighting alien demons that possessed an entire world is sort of out there.I mean yeah Phantoon exists, but It was still pretty weird and strongly consumes the game.Prime had Phazon and it was mutating stuff, but it still felt very close to Super in terms of mission spread.
>>725962284Nintendo wouldn't allow a trans Samus, this was the compromise.MEET YOUR SOON TO BE NEW FACE OF METROID!
>>725983943Sweet, sweet karma for all the times they shitposted against other sci-fi franchises.>your game is so terrible! how can you sympathize with the characters if you can't see their faces? I can't jerk off to the waifus!Revenge is best served cold.
>>725984201shut the fuck up, Eric. This isn't about you.
You niggas rejected the 2000s edge era so you get this
>>725984281is eric your brother?
>>725982817Keep seething, it makes me laugh lmao
>>725984324Eric is everyone. He is everywhere. He is in everything.
>>725979856>He stays on the ship, doing the obligatory "hey this thing happened" hint after bosses.>Every time Samus returns to the ship he pounds the shit out of her, the only sign this even happens is your controls are a little sluggish for a minute after regaining control.Fund it.
>>725984107>tloz and animal crossingThey already got turned into slop. TLOZ went down the open world meme route and Animal Crossing is a shell of what it once was.
>>725984328Will it make you laugh when I come over there, slit your whore mother's throat, and buttfuck your dad to death in a pool of her blood
>>725984107Joke's on you, my favorite Nintendo franchise (Star Fox) died with the Wii U, and with Miyamoto being on movies and Pikmin. I never have to see it used for normal sloppa.
>>725984281>>725984372Fake person, just call him Name Schizo. It deprives him of his autistic "No you're the [random named faggot] and I'm all of /v/(totally not samefagging btw) and we're driving you "lolcows" to humiliation" schizo game.
>>725983936Yeah but they also grow crazy jaws when they taken over by the X.
>>725981464
>>725984553That's just how you do The Thing but make it PG 13.
>>725984372ERIC CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
>>725972083without their faces this movie could have been pure CGI slop, what a shame
Prime 3 was awesome, the Hunters were cool adversaries and the environments were some of the best in the series. Bryyo, Elysia, Pirate Homeworld, Phaaze, all top shelf atmosphere, which you are alone to experience for 99% of the game
>>725962540LOL this
>>725962284Are there clips of him or are we all going off what journalists say he's like?I'm sure he socks but I'd like to judge how bad myself.
>>725962284Holy shit that nose is huge
>>725972426was ready to dismiss your post but you are actually 100% correctthat being said, AM2R was the last good metroid game
>>725984809We have at least a 7 minute trailer of him being le heckin quirky.
metroid prime was magic in a bottle2 and 3 sucked ass
>>725970263>modern mediaThis has been a thing since forever dudeDo you not remember Temple of Doom?What do you think short round was?And it’s always been shit
>>725971575stubble

>>725962382This isn't even exclusive to nintendo anymore even if they're the worst about it.>Star wars>Star trek>Blizzard>COD>Halo>Bioware>Naughty Dog>Bethesda>squareAll of these companies/franchises miss the mark at best and actively try to upset their fans at worst. Ironically Roblox, Epic and Valve are the only ones who get why people like their shit and epic/roblox each have one gachashit game and valve doesn't make anything at all.
>>725979648Dunno who bottom left is but I want more of her
>>7259848842 was an ok attempt, prime 3 felt like a dudebro fps caricature

Do these people just not understand Metroid or can they really just not help themselves?
>>725971075How can someone be so buck broken by another person? Not even Barry amounted to these levels of seething.
>>725985225It said "white guy in vidya" I know nothing about thisIf you're asking why a non-white guy is being made a fool of the answer is that the producers are morons and cast Robert Rodriguez because he looks like a gormless dork. It's the same story with casting David Schwimmer to play "white guy" that instantly becomes not white and a proud jew as soon as the top of the conversation is Israel.
>>725972083>Mordok too>for no fucking reasonEverybody is Iron Man
>>725985669>>725977253Funny thing, the game isn't actually open world. It just has a ton of extremely huge areas for no reason, other than to justify the bike.

This is what happens when Nintendo hires Sony devs. Wasnt there a bunch of reports before about how Nintendo hired devs who worked on Nu God of War and some other shit like Horizon or something to work on Prime 4?
>>725962284This is the savior of the white race
>>725986305Metroid for retards
>>725972579humiliation ritual. whoever wrote this character is projecting their humiliation fetish into the game. i bet myles pisses himself while samus ignores him
>>725970263>Stoic silent protagsakamoto wanted samus to speak and be more expressive and you people dog piled on him
>>725973269I think I get what you're saying but it was like parsing an ancient text to try and figure it out. Could've phrased it better.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
>>725987143They do the same thing for pokemon, it's cope by a degree of separation.
>>725987334>OMG LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS: from the same fandom that shitposts and ruins non-nintendo threads
>>725987334Just consoom product Not Gatekeeping video games was the biggest mistake
>>725983403super metroid is 100% boomer nostalgia, nobody cares about it besides the people who played it near launch. Prime was where they established a strange aesthetic and particularly an audio landscape that is still distinct 25 years later. They completely lost the aura by MP 3 and they never regained it on any other Metroid game.This is hard to pinpoint but the transcendent aura that distinguishes art from other media is strong in certain pieces of media like homeworld and mirrors edge, when its lost people notice immediately, it takes artists who are very in tune with the source to continue the legacy. This is why deserts of kharak still feels like homeworld even after 15 years then something fucked up and homeworld 3 completely lost it.
>>725987334Thats the guy who said "lalala I can't hear you look ay my charizard" in response to people shitting on Legends Z-A
>>725987334this guy's whole thing is CONSOOM PRODUCT. He even compared Metroid Prime 4 to TFA and said the sequel trilogy was good.
Worst part is these fucking idiots out and about telling me I don't get to complain about them tanking my favorite series.
>>725984403should be against the law to make more than 3 games/movies/books/etc in a series. the creative stagnation or changes is too sad.
>>725987512>Not Gatekeeping video games was the biggest mistakeThe time to gatekeep was years ago when Xbox opened the door for dudebros. The dudebros basically kicked the gate down so the rest of the normalfags could invade.
>>725987726This is the path of every nintendo IP, they inevitably shift to pander to 8 year olds and if you complain about it you are met with an army of balding millennial shit eaters who tell you there's nothing wrong.
>>725962284>b-but i ll-love it when kojima does it!!

>>725987859It a baffling how fucking good so much of the promotional images from the Japanese website look when you know that cunt is in the game. And for the record, there's a clip of another soldier telling you that ice ought to slow the enemies down. It isn't just Myles, and it isn't just the beginning.
>>725987334This has to be cope right
>>725988085No, it's shilling. He literally named himself after a Nintendo product. His entire existence relies on Nintendo things succeeding. So he's shilling.
>>725988005>there's a clip of another soldier telling you that ice ought to slow the enemies downCan you find that clip? Or remember where you saw it?
>>725963060Quit blaming America writ-large for the fact that the first and only fundamentally Politically Individualist (that means John Locke-ism to all you dipshits) nation is an obvious target to all the malevolent subversives of the world and got slowly dogpiled by them over the decades.The japan-ruining sentiment is philosophically fundamental to Europe, bootlicking lazy faggots that they are, not America btw.America installed a P.I. government and Japan, not being suffused with niggers, instantly underwent an economic miracle becasue of it. Talk to the fucking hand pal.
>>725988005I'm starting to think they just shouldn't have made this game. What todays audience needs just doesn't suit the ip.If Retro wasn't told to make this game we would probably have a new IP and star fox revival by now
>tendies get their first taste of Modern GamingGod I love to see it. It's like some uncontacted native tribe opening a crate of smallpox blankets that washed up on their shore.
>>725988085No, they're that stupid. These people are a blight. A plague. I've lost count of how many knuckle dragging mongoloids have tried to tell me that Myles does not go directly against part of the core identity of Metroid. For a laugh, if you encounter one of these smoothbrains then wait until they accuse you of not wanting Metroid to evolve and grow to reach a bigger audience. Then tell them that they're correct. That you don't want Metroid to reach a bigger audience. If they weren't a flesh golem you could see the fucking sparks shoot out of them. They are truly that mentally deficient.
>>725963606As much a joke as that WoW faggot who nuked the story so he could have his OC be with Sylvanas.
>>725962284Racist leftists think the mass complaining about ugly dysgenic mutts permeating all of video games is only coming from white nerds and think if they put a white dysgenic mutt in a game then it will somehow fix the problem.They fail to understand that race has very little or nothing to do with how fed up people are with video game character design.Some faggot will chime in and say otherwise, but he'll be wrong too.
>>725988534Taking necrophilia to the next level
>>725988534>his OCThat's the funny part. It's not even his OC. Nathaniel Blightcaller was an established character in lore that he saw and went "oh he just like me fr fr" and co-opted him as a self insert.

>>725988005Just relax, these guys are not going to be following or talking to you the whole game. It would be very stupid to copy God of Onions game philosophy where everywhere you fucking go somebody is talking, explaining, telling you constantly how to play the game. Iam concerned too, but damn can we get some more sources before we jump the gun and start assuming the worst?
