>Be a, presumably, highly trained Galactic Federation soldier transported to planet Viewros>The first thing you do, in your first moment of screentime, is crack a joke about how you're in a hopeless situationNo one in their right mind would actually do this>"Haha, oh wow, I'm in such a hopeless situation right now :D"If you were actually in a situation like that, you wouldn't be joking. You'd be scared. You definitely wouldn't be joking about how your situation "is hopeless" because that's potentially fatal self-demoralization in such a situation. Like, if you were the sole survivor of a plane crash in an uncharted part of the Amazon jungle, you wouldn't be saying "Haha, this is so hopeless :D", with a smile and a wink like that. Second, if you were a soldier, you wouldn't be acting like that. That is to say, if you were a well trained soldier, your training would kick in, and you would be acting on conditioned instinct to deal with the situation in the best way you could. Third, if you were a soldier, you probably wouldn't be making jokes about working in a cubicle: because you probably wouldn't work in a cubicle. These aren't the only problems, but I'll stop there. If the Metroid Prime games are known for their immersion factor, and getting the player to believe in the game and its world for the time you spend with it - it's like every single thing about the first line of dialogue from Myles is designed to get you to stop believing in the setting and the world of Metroid Prime 4.It doesn't really matter what they do with Myles or any of the other characters after this moment, this is such a betrayal of Metroid Prime's DNA it's already ruined whatever the rest of the experience is they're planning. There's no salvaging the rest of the game after this moment. The immersion factor has evaporated. It's so bad it comes off like some kind of corporate sabotage.
>>726004908DoNothingbros, we can't stop winning this year.
>>726004908I'm not reading all that
>>726005132Sorry your brain fell out.
>>726004908I thought Myles is supposed to be an engineer. Not that it changes much.
Just playing prime hack, laughing at this new game and the salt it's generating is the only winning move. Why would anyone expect a modern game to be good?
>>726005228>Why would anyone expect a modern game to be good?I think im coming around to this idea/sentiment
>>726004908He’s not a soldier. He’s an engineer.
>>726005163Sorry that your ritual doomposts aren't thought-provoking or insightful
>>726005210If Myles is an Engineer, this should mean either one of two things. Follow me here...My dad is an Engineer. He works in an office, using CAD software to design mechanical parts. My dad is not a soldier. If he had the job he has now, in the future, he would not be putting on power armor and fighting on the frontlines. If Myles is supposed to be an "Engineer" in the sense that he works in an office like my dad, why is he wearing power armor and carrying a pistol?Perhaps by "Engineer" the writers meant something like "Technician" or "Mechanic". This kind of thing happens in videogames sometimes. A mechanic, like, say, on an Air Force Base, probably wouldn't be working in a cubicle. He'd be in a hangar. Working with his hands. If Myles is an "Engineer" in the sense that he fixes machinery, at his base or in the field, why is he cracking a joke about working in a cubicle?On top of all of thisDoes his joke imply that he was wearing his power armor in his cubicle "next to Phil" when he was transported to Viewros?Every single thing about this one line of dialogue falls apart if you give it any amount of thought.It's fucking insane how they managed to do that.
>>726005613Get bent. >>726005505See >>726005878
>>726005878His profile says that besides maintenance and repair, he also programs software, which is something done typically on a computer, which tend to be in cubicles at workplaces.
>>726005878You are literally autistic. You've been diagnosed right?
>>726006196He's not an "Engineer" then, he's a mechanic and a programmer.Which also doesn't make sense.
>>726004908I hate Miles.
>>726006213No, you know what I am?I am smart enough to realize casually joking about how you're in a life or death situation is the last thing anyone would actually be doing in a life or death situation. I am smart enough to realize an Engineer isn't the same thing as a Mechanic, and neither of those professions are the same thing as a soldier. This should be the average level of intelligence. People *should* be smart enough to realize how fucking stupid this all is.
>>726006504Get checked. You are literally autistic. I'm not joking. I grew up with two of them and you are text-book. The way you talk and rationalize. Might help you out in real life and help you understand why you're the way you are and help you navigate.
>>726006649>intelligence is a diseaseSeems to be what you're saying. Also seems to be the general attitude of the times. Fucking kill yourself dude.
>>726004908I have mil experience, you're wrong, and I worked in a technical position, so you're still wrong, yes you crack jokes, that's just how some people cope with bad situations, some people just stare, some people lose their cool and worry, it's different for everyone.>>726005878Engineering is a corps which covers a wide array of roles.Office depends on role.Your opinions are scat their because you have literally no fucking idea what you are talking about.
>>726004908Sometimes people use levity to cope with stress and danger.With that said, it needs to be written well. Terribly-written irony poisoning afflicts 90% of modern media.l and this is no exception.I also suspect they gave her a weak male sidekick just to make her look like more of a girlboss by comparison.Which us retarded if so, because Samus of all characters doesn't need help to be strong and awesome.
>>726007207>"Wow, I might die today ... but at least I'm not sitting next to Phil - BAZINGA"
>>726007041>Your opinions are scat their because you have literally no fucking idea what you are talking about.Okay mr. smart guy "mil experience"Would you, personally, ever crack a joke ... to yourself ... about your situation being hopeless, if you were stranded somewhere, alone, without communication?Why would an Engineer be wearing power armor in his cubicle?Give me a good answer to both those questions with all your wisdom and experience
Why does Myles wear glasses under his helmet which also has glasses
>>726007768I laughed at first when I saw a guy blow himself up, so yes, it happens.>Why would an Engineer be wearing power armor in his cubicle?Firstly you assume he went straight from his cubicle to Viewros, this was most likely not the case, he was probably either in combat, or in a situation where combat was a risk, or he was working on vehicles, and a suit of armor that increases physical capabilities and protects with the sort of flexibility that they enable makes sense for working on vehicles, but even if he was at his cubicle for some reason it would make sense to wear combat armor in a potential combat situation, just for readiness.When talking about the guy he hates it doesn't come off as if he is no longer literally sitting in a cubicle he's sharing with that guy and more that being here means he won't be having to deal with the guy he shares a cubicle with.I get the feeling that nobody gets that this character is intentionally annoying, notice that the other characters don't have dialogue written like his, and his dialogue was most likely written by that lesbian who loved the idea of troon samus, whether that's good or not, who knows, he could have a great character arc, I doubt it but he could kind of get the hint that his way of speaking is grating.>>726008696that's most likely a secondary visor for his suit, but it's clearly for visual effect ot accentuate his role as a technician, just like that other guy who is also wearing a different suit than the standard power armor.
>>726004908Holy fucking shit you faggots just don't give up on this shit do you? God fucking damn
>>726004908Good fucking lord, get a hold of yourself. It's a fucking video game.
In my day, bait was believable
>>726008931She didn't work at Retro long enough to have written any dialogue at all.
>>726004908>chief'd
>>726008931>I laughed at first when I saw a guy blow himself up, so yes, it happens.See that's natural. Laughing at others unexpected misfortune is natural. You're really telling me you would say, out loud, to yourself, something like "I'm in a hopeless situation" ...? and laugh about it?Because I don't think anyone in their right mind would do that. It's the kind of out of touch autistic joke you'd see in a Marvel movie. Not reading the rest of your post because you're retarded. >>726009048>>726009092No. They crossed a line.
If Myles was a cute loli that floated around your cock, you all wouldn't care
>>726009367Yes, you really just don't get it do you, possibly because you're autistic or just too dumb but yes, laughing at a bad situation is something that some people will do. His writing is bad but that's at it's core an issue with his dialogue.As someone with experience I know you're wrong.
>>726008931>that's most likely a secondary visor for his suit, but it's clearly for visual effect ot accentuate his role as a technicianHis glasses don't get crushed by his helmet?His visor doesn't correct his vision for him?They haven't invented contact lenses or corrective therapies in this future?He really needed both glasses and a second pair of glasses on top of those glasses to tell us he's a fucking nerd?
>>726009625No, you know whatI'm calling (You) out on being autistic. Only an autistic person would actually take the time to defend this writing
>>726009451>If bad thing was instead a good thing you wouldn't mind it
>>726009451Nah, if any character were written in such a brain-splittingly annoying way I'd be annoyed, no matter how cute they were.
>>726004908If they have the first soldier character be gruff and serious like a real military situation, then he and by extension the whole tutorial section would be less accessible for broader audiences and children. You are not the target audience for these products, please just stop caring about details in videogames like a manchild.
>>726008931>I laughed at first when I saw a guy blow himself up, so yes, it happens.Watching live leak on your computer or god forbid your phone =/= real life
>>726009863The Metroid series is one of Nintendo's only series that can reasonably be considered seinen. No, I will keep caring about these details.
>>726009628It's just visually there for his character, but it can probably be justified. You do get a set of contacts standard issue and when I served there was a subsidy for laser surgery, but there were still a lot of people who didn't want that, I knew 1 guy who had gone for it out of way more who decided to not get it, just because the option is there doesn't mean that a lot of people want this kind of invasive surgery to fix their vision.If his visor corrected his vision for him then he would still need his lenses for when he isn't wearing his visor.I'm just going to reiterate that the second visors are primarily for the look, but justifiable within universe, in case you aren't getting this part.>>726009695His dialogue is bad, but you're wrong, I know you're wrong because I have experience that says you're wrong, you made all kinds of retarded speculation that I knew you were dead wrong about initially, I'm not so much calling you out, I just know you're wrong, and at this point you aren't even arguing the point, you're just dancing around it like the retard you are.>>726009947No, I was standing there watching a guy set up to destroy an unexploded round and when he puts out the posts to cordon off the area he hits a second unexploded round and blows himself up, it wasn't really funny that's just how I reacted.
>>72600945199% of gamers want to crush Navi in their hand what the FUCK are you talking aboutthe ones who don't either haven't played OoT/MM or are deeply autistic

You're such a big experience man, I'm so sure, but nothing you're defending the line >Oh wow!>Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow>What a mess.>You're alone, on a planet, with no hope of survival. >But, you're also not sitting next to Phil anymore in that cubicle.>So ... win?As if it's something you'd actually saySo I am calling you a retard
>>726010137Sorry you never had one
>>726010280You not being able to understand what's being written is a you problem, you are definitely autistic if you need things spelt out for you this much.
You know what sucks about quippy marvel humor is it's not actually funny. People that write that kind of humor might actually be autistic.
>>726004908>Extremely talkativeSome mother fucker at Retro Studios needs to explain why they decided to include this faggot in MP of all things. imagine if in MP1 when you see Ridley flying in Phendrana Drifts you have a companion yelling: "WAIT! IS THAT... NO... no no no NOOOO! IT'S RIDLEY!! but how... you defeated him! are those... metal parts?? is he... no... NO! SAMUS we gotta hurry PRONTO!!"
>>726010417I do understand Myles perfectly. I understand that he's a terribly written character. I also understand that you're far more autistic than I am. You are so fucking unfunny.
>>726010457It's easy to blame Retro Studios and current year western writers, but I wonder how much of the blame actually lies with Nintendo.
Myles first line of dialogue is almost written like he's pitching the premise of Metroid to a Japanese office worker or a Nintendo shareholder who doesn't innately understand its appeal.
>>726010572I was sure the Bamco build was just a horribly broken mess, but in light of this and pic related, part of me suspects they actually saw the writing on the wall and told Nintendo's big wigs to fuck off
Importantly, is the current gaming landscape even compatible with Metroid Prime game design?It feels like an archaic game style, a relic, a bygone. Stopping gameplay and movement to scan something? Takes a second to scan and now you have to read? And everything in the room is scannable? And only some of it matters to your game progression? Slow tank movement with a lock on system? It just feels like this is a game that should have been made and released 15 years ago when this style of gameplay was still relevant. The gameplay isn't bad for when the series first started, but at this point it is really behind the times. It doesn't need to be brainrot hyperspeed zoomer attention grabbing. But the core mechanics are definitely too slow and things need to be brought into the current/next gen of game design for an exploration game like this. Even when listening to the trailer (which I thought was good), everything just feels so underwhelming when you hear Samus' abilities. And it's not the problem of the marketing team. This is just a problem with the core design of the Prime games. You literally couldn't make it sound more interesting if you tried.
>>726004908it literally killed all hype for the gameit's over
>>726006196>Defeat boss>Well that just happened>BTW Samus there's a save room right there, please don't forget to save, it'd be horrible if you get, well... atomized... Call you later!
>>726011000Wasted trips.
>>726010791literally what is the point of the desert if it's empty and has 5 hubs
>>726006504your diction is transparently autistic
>>726012709No. No I'm just going to straight up deny that. With text on the internet, people can't hear intent, tone of voice, nonverbal cues. I am writing this how I would say it. If you're reading this and it sounds autistic, that's on you.
>>726012861Nta you are autistic you’re throwing a tantrum about the job title and duties of a fictional character in a fictional galaxy-wide corporation and judging writing quality based on your own judgement of what is “realistic” rather than what purpose it serves in the story
>>726012861You are writing in a way that is distinctly different from the all of the ways a non-autistic person might write
>>726010503NTA. You're autistic and got too offended at being called out for it earlier that you lashed out calling everyone else an autist thinking it meant something to anyone besides you. Learn to relax and reflect, see what gave you away and why the other guy doesn't give a shit.You have a very naive view of jarheads, they love cracking jokes at almost any time. The execution is dogshit MCU writing but the principle of laughing and comparing it to what they'd rather not be doing is extremely on point for them. Including bitching about white collar work which is way more productive than anything they're doing.You could try watching some military documentaries to see how they talk. You could try talking to your father and hear what he'd actually say. But maybe you need to see a shrink because boy are you sperging out about shit you do not understand.
>>726013385He's a zoomer autist, guaranteed. Every fucking one of them talks almost the exact same way. It's uncanny.
>>726013336Explain to me how this writing is good without sounding autistic. >>726013385I'll confess to having a high IQ and a high verbal ability. This is something I wish other people had. >>726013439Explain to me how this writing is good without sounding autistic. Go ahead.
>>726013830>and a high verbal abilityi got some bad news friendo
Not a single person is going to be able to defend Myles without sounding like an autist because he's written by and for autists. He is defended by autists. If you think he's funny you're an autist. If you think his dialogue is acceptable, you're an autist. If you spend any time defending his existence as a character you're an autist. 'Nuff said.
>>726013634i figure they absorb it from mixing wiki prose with internet know-it-all ackshually posts, it has that kind approach but without the faux-casual smugness
>>726013908I have a high enough verbal IQ to recognize>You're alone, on a planet, with no hope of survival. >But, you're also not sitting next to Phil anymore in that cubicle.>So ... win?As fucking terrible writing. >No but bro, you don't understand>You're autisticIsn't the "gotcha" that you think it is.
>>726013997>kindmeant 'kinda', oops
>>726013830>Explain to me how the writing is goodI know from experience this is futile because you’ve already established your belief is “good writing =matches my opinion of how the setting should work” and even if I squeezed some blood from the autistic stone I’d be hit with the>so it’s shit on purposeWhich has already been used itt
Hi everyone, Nintendo here.He dies within the first few hours
>>726014039The writing is dogshit but not for the reasons you can conceptualize.
>>726014221Okay so, uh, I'm gonna die? Like dead die? For realsies deaddy dead dead? Wow wow wow, gimmie a sec to process this one, actually give me more than one sec, give me, like, a bazillion secs! Yeah, that should be enough time? I'll just be here in my processing-my-mortality corner for a while. A long while. Yeah, you go on ahead, I have processing to do, okay? Okay.
>>726014221There's footage from Japan of him pal'ing around with Samus in a white suit. It looks like an endgame suit. Unless Samus gets both the red and white suit in the first few hours, Myles is around at least until Samus gets a second suit. So no he's probably there the whole game. >>726014126I accept your concession. Jokes aside, you can't explain why this writing is good because it's bad writing. I guess it's "Good writing" if the goal is to make a Marvel-esque sci-fi story where I can't take anything seriously....But given that Metroid Prime's entire schtick was taking itself seriously enough to draw you into its setting and sell you on the idea that you're really there behind the visor on an alien planet, this is terrible writing.
>>726014221No! Off him now mother fucker!
>>726014339No, I think I've nailed exactly why the writing is dogshit. It's quippy Joss Whedon marvel humor meant to deflate the tension and snap you out of what you're watching, force you to not take it seriously, in a series known for how immersive it is.
>>726014506Your problem is you’re projecting your ideas of what the writing SHOULD be onto the writing instead of judging what it’s trying to do. It’s trying to establish that character as an annoying but competent nerd and it succeeds at that.
>>726014626>Your problem is you’re projecting your ideas of what the writing SHOULD be onto the writingYea. It should be written like a Metroid Prime game. Meaning there really shouldn't be very much dialogue at all.
>>726014626>Bro you have like ... standards and shit>That's autistic
>>726014708It’s autistic because you can’t distinguish the difference between bad writing and “I don’t like it”
>>726014865I don't like it because it's bad writing. If autism is "self focus" you're having an awful lot of trouble understanding why someone else would think a Metroid Prime game with Marvel dialogue is bad writing...
>>726004908All I know is the word "cubicle" should not be uttered in a Metroid game. Office culture has no place in this franchise.
>>726013042
>>726015131Tell that to Dwight who because I'm bad with names!
>>726014607>I hate it because [buzzwords]Please stop being retarded. You get nothing from it. If you've managed to get past the mental age of a toddler you should be able to understand that somewhat.

>>726004908One of the more underrated apsects of Metroid and "metroidvanias" is being a lone person exploring a wild fauna. Not having a bunch of dudes clap you on the back and make idle chitchatter.And I am once again yelling with confusion about how Double Fine's Keeper made a better Metroid morphball section than Metroid ever did and it got that isolated feel way better.

>>726017131>yeah I was wrong but what if I appeal to trivialityYou cared enough to reply
The intent of this character is to make Metroid Prime 4 appealing to room temperature IQ normies.The only way to deem if this is good writing (in a narrow target) is to see if the game sells better because of it.You can kind of see this game as Nintendo's last effort to make Metroid popular.OP, you are autistic.
>>726017148Gallows humor would actually be funny. This is a passive aggressive marvel quip.
LMAO
Honestly it's so hard to write parody dialogue as this guy for shitposting since I hate that kind of dialogue, he is such an insufferably accurate microcosm of that style of speech that it's hard to top what's in Beyond.
look how amazin MP3 looks after simply makin the resolution higher, no additional texture packs or anything
>>726017473I am right. >>726017484No. This whole "autism" issue has got to change. Being intelligent enough to be insulted by stupidity isn't a mental illness.

>>726017987There is footage of Samus getting hit with the energy wave from the artifact and falling to the floor, then waking up on Viewros.So yes it does suggest he could have been at a cubicle
I feel like the game's been in development so long that it was something that made sense at the time. Like Retro restarted it in 2019 when shit like the MCU and that kind of humor was at it's peak, he's probably a remnant of that. I feel like there's less patience for this type of thing these days but it was too late to remove him.
>>726018068No, Nintendo is going to make a cinematic 3D Mario game.I sense it.
>>726018346There would have been a bigger uproar about this shit in 2019. Also arguably that was way past the point where people were tired of Marvel shittery
>>726017686say what
>>726017647You were unable to see why this character was created in the first place and recognize the patterns and solve it's puzzle.You are interacting with this game as if Metroid was ever any high to reach in the department of storytelling or even world building.Faulty logic from a misguided sense of what is important and the intent behind an action. You projected what you value into what Nintendo wants from ROI with this game.You are slightly above average IQ. That is all.
>>7260184382019 was when Endgame came out, that shit was everywhere.
MP2 is PEAK
>>726018490>You were unable to see why this character was created in the first place and recognize the patterns and solve it's puzzle.No, I can see exactly why he was created. That doesn't make those reasons good. >You are interacting with this game as if Metroid was ever any high to reach in the department of storytelling or even world building.Dialogue writing? There shouldn't be any dialogue in Metroid game. Worldbuilding? You've never played the Prime games if you think they slouch when it comes to worldbuilding. There actually is quite a lot of writing when it comes to scan logs, and it's generally good. >Faulty logic from a misguided sense of what is important and the intent behind an action.(You)>You projected what you value into what Nintendo wants from ROI with this game.What I value is what the Prime games previously were. >You are slightly above average IQ. That is all.I am very high IQ, and frankly it's exhausting. Everything seems to trend towards stupidity these days. There's no "red meat" for someone like me.
>>726004908Dialogue is for the player, not between characters. It's called soulless. Bg3 is full of this. Could've been our game. Mp4, too, won't be our game.
>>726018861>Dialogue is for the playerThat's a good way of putting it. He's not even talking to Samus when he cracks that joke, he's literally talking to himself.

>>726006196There are various types of field engineers that work on laptops modifying code for things like networks in factories to even heating an air that requires tinkering with conditional logic. They bring work laptops on sight.
>>726018458Thought so.
>>726004908It's nuts how blatantly coordinated the defense force is on Twitter, the narrative they've all been using is to call everyone criticizing Myles a "tourist" or "grifter".
Apologize.
>>726018819>You've never played the Prime games if you think they slouch when it comes to worldbuilding.The epic worldbuilding: "A thing happened here...must be because of phazon."
>>726019112This whole situation is shocking. Pre-Covid people would have been in an uproar about this. This is just as bad as Other M. The fact that it has people defending it at all is shocking.
>>726019161Wait a minute, that gay nigga from outer space...
>>726019172You didn't need to tell me you didn't play the games twice in a row
>>726019372It's funny because you fail to provide a single example. You lost and got raped, don't @ me again kid.
>>726005228I don't even particularly care about how good the game is because I haven't bought any nintendo products since the wii nor do I intend to but for as bad as I expected it to be from the first reveal I didn't think it would be this bad.Shallow open world slop design where you spend 5 minutes on the bike riding across an empty desert with nothing to break it up besides maybe some random combat encounter which fails to be interesting because they showed its brainless auto lock on shit just to make your way to one of probably dozens of shitty mini levels you need to hit before you're allowed to play a real level a la BOTW, that was expected.Such abysmally dogshit tonally off putting writing that is directly reminiscent of typical AAA sloppa and modern REMEMBER TO PRESS BUTTON TO SAVE YOUR NPC ESCORT was not.If nothing else I assumed that for their first party franchises that have a semblance of tone more serious than bing bing wahoo it would be kept on the level.
>>726019161This guy was emblematic of everything wrong with modern metroid and they fucking doubled down on it.
The biggest problem in the game is that it isn't rendered in 4:3.
>>726019315The Switch did something to turn Nintendo fans into the most uncritical, loyalist fuckers. I've strongly suspected that Pokémon fans (who used to be confined to the portable sector) and general Nintendo console fans being merged under one system allowed the programming of the former to infect the latter, I only saw this degree of Nintendo dickeating in the Switch era become common after Pokefags waged their autistic sales jihad against critics of SwSh.
>>726019112the most I've seen of "defending him" are people saying "he sucks ass but isn't really enough to ruin the game, especailly when the rest looks so good"and then people like >>726019315 calling this opinion a bingtendotrannyshill or whatever.
>>726019614Bryyo in Prime 3 has an entire Planet of the Apes esque story about a war between a primitive caste and a scientific caste of the natives, which serves as the backdrop lore foundation for all the architecture you're seeing. https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Bryyo_DataIt's pretty ok writing and it's never brought up or expounded on any other way.
>>726010023Lol, it's alien for toddlers. Halo is alien for teens, only the source is for adults.
>>726010572Surprisingly enough, Nintendo does not seem the one to blame over this shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESoO3QO2b9ETHE GAME LOOKS GOOD WATCH THIS 95% SOLO PLAYSTOP BEING DOOMERS
>>726010572This is shitty in a very American way. I can totally see Nintendo demanding they target children and include a Navi character but they didn't need to go in this direction. Nintendo IP feel increasingly disneyfied which was always going to degrade them but capeshit dialog is teleporting to bottom of the barrel slop.
>>726022268Everything else aside the game's also ugly, weirdly flat lighting and playdough textures
