Metroid as a franchise would be better if the Federation was wiped out off screen or just became a small corrupt branch no better than the Space Pirates
>>
>>726009849
the newest Metroid has DEI-scripted dialogue that is constantly fed to Samus over radio and in-person.
so not only is Metroid officially abandoning its roots to be more like Other M, but it is also written by people who think Marvel movie quips and one-liners are good writing.

nobody working as a military-like unit would act like this. they would take everything seriously and give direct and concise information because THEY COULD ALL FUCKING DIE AT ANY POINT IF THEY AREN'T CAREFUL.

That was a serious comment by Dr. Hal Emmerich, not a joke.
He got into robotics because of Japanese animes with robots and mech suits, and he asks Snake to call him 'Otacon' which he explains stands for Otaku Convention.

He treats every conversation and moment with Snake seriously and, in the end, he's the only person supporting you who isn't lying to you or being forced to stay quiet by some higher power. He always has your back and wants to sincerely help you out even though he's just a nerd.

1. You had to make up a fake scenario where Otacon is saying quips or jokes when that's simply not true, meaning you never had a point to begin with.
2. He's already, in just these previews, said more jokes than actual joke characters in MGS like Johnny. And while Johnny was funny precisely because he stands out from all the deadly guards you hide from all game, this Myles retard is just a quippy nigger who won't stop bother Samus.

His first line of dialogue is a "joke" about how being "alone, on a planet, with no hope of survival" is better than being next to a co-worker in a cubicle.
I have seen people arguing that I am autistic for not thinking this is funny.
It's not funny.
And it was very likely written by an autist.
No one in their right mind has ever said "I have no hope of surviving, but at least it's better than being next to Phil"
No one hates Phil that much.

No, he's right. Nobody makes jokes or quips when everyone is legitimately in a life-or-death scenario, let alone CONSTANT UNENDING QUIPS DELIVERED TO YOU OVER A RADIO.

You're trying so hard to defend this but you have nothing to work with, anon. Just give it up and acknowledge this new Metroid will be hated on release or scrapped to the severe negative reaction it has universally received from not just games but also gaming journalists.

No I can imagine it happening.
Only someone with severe issues would say something like "I'm in a hopeless situation, but at least I'm not sitting next to Jerry" out loud to themselves in the middle of a life and death situation, and an UNRESOLVED situation (keep in mind he's still on top of the ship hanging from the vines .... which also doesn't make much logistic sense)
It's exactly because I have an imagination that this is offensive to me.
The fact that (You) can't parse why this is wrong suggests you are severely autistic yourself.

>>726011397
You go to find Meryl while Snake tells him to just stay out of sight and also out of his way. He gives you his frequency because, until you beat Liquid in the Hind D, you have to call him by manually entering the frequency at least once.

You're judging the entire quality of a video game over one character. Ocarina would get 0/10 based on Navi alone by that metric. Ocarina was also an open world game that featured joke characters, escort missions, and was an "empty open world" save for the actual towns and dungeons in game.

who cares? RE4 is one giant escort mission and it is debatably the GOAT. it's not an inherently bad time to be on an escort mission.

there weren't ANY open worlds on consoles at the time, and if they attempted them it would be covered in thick fog everywhere, unlike OOT

The Metal Gear series has always featured radio conversations with your support, bosses, and even people you meet while on the mission.
People expect that to be there and they are upset when it isn't (PW and MGSV).

Do you get it yet? The problem isn't just that this character is unfunny... it's that he's doing this while your trying to play a Metroid game.

You're right, it's not funny. A lot of people are tired of seeing this sort of whedon-esque writing where every moment is undercut with some joke which deflates any scenario. It's bringing down the world of Metroid to office politics because I guess that's the only thing the writer knows about in life.
It's like writing a new Lord of the Rings and having a character who brings up how much his rent costs. It's taking the fantastical and making it mundane.
>oh but Samus doesn't seem to like him either
That doesn't make it better. Telling a bad joke and then pointing out how it's bad doesn't make it better. Now the player and Samus are annoyed.

>>
>>726012068
How do you know that? Your own personal feelings don't reflect everyone. I bet there's a 1000 different 2D platformers that play similar on Steam or Itch.io, and Nintendo published Dread years back as more traditional game. I get that Dread is a little contentious amongst Metroid fans, but at least they still made something similar to the non-Prime games. I'm waiting for the actual release to see if it'll be any good, instead of whining online like a fag about it

This is the critical issue.
And the dealbreaker for me.
Metroid Prime's entire thing is putting you into the shoes of Samus.
The one thing everyone ever said about these games is that they were immersive. And they really were.

Whedon Jokes are anti-immersion.
With his first line of dialogue this guy destroys any potential for immersion.
Then we know he keeps talking.
And worst of all, there seem to be 5 other characters that will also do this.

This isn't Metroid Prime anymore.

Nothing about Myles makes any sense the more you think about it.
We see the artifact Sylux shoots creating some kind of energy wave that transports Samus to Viewros.

This implies that he was wearing his full power armor while sitting at his cubicle, before being transported to Viewros.

Pretty much. I've always liked the 2D games but I admit I never saw them as unique worlds. I treated them just as fun video game levels and that's it. When I got around to playing the Prime games I was genuinely impressed with how immersed I was. And now it's just going to be like every other 360 era game with some annoying guy yapping in your ear, pointing out shit you're already looking at. I half expect them to do that thing where the player's movement suddenly gets forced into a light stroll when someone is talking.

For me it's not the fact that it's 360 era marine companions, it's not even the fact that you have companions in a Metroid Prime game which are known for their isolation.
It's the
>This is a joke no one would actually say in this scenario
Problem.
>"Is every freakin' thing on this planet trying to kill us!?"
Is the kind of thing that's meant to snap you out of the game and make you go "haha this is such a silly videogame" instead of pulling you in to the setting.
When a marine in Halo jokes about seeing such a great view over the mountaintop that he should take a picture and send it to his Sgt. as a postcard, and you're actually looking at a great vista, at least it's in character and feels like something someone might actually say.

To pretend that these characters are even remotely of the same caliber is fucking insane, Anon. Sure, Otacon brings a bit of levity being a nerd and out of his element in MGS1, but he is still a serious character, with 99% of his dialogue being actual real serious dialogue. There is a massive difference between that and some completely unserious quip maxxing Joss Whedon MCU retard redditor character who can only speak in quips and ironic remarks. It's not even comparable.

What's more interesting here how Samus doesn't talk. She doesn't physically emote all that much. Other M really buck broke them from her having to talk all that much (which works in Dread).

Quite a bit in the tanker chapter in MGS 2
specifically when you upload photos to him which he quips as "Codec Moments" as a pun on a Codac marketing slogan. Then he makes jokes about any non-required photos.
I'm a pretty huge MGSfag.

Samus having to rescue or even babysit (for a while) some utter nerd. Is genuinely not bad conceptually.
But having the nerd be a fucking backseater that comments on everything you do and spoils challenges and puzzles, or even how to explore, and then forces wireless communications onto you after you finally leave him behind. That's absolutely horrid.

Retro know what they are doing. They are not stupid. They know Metroid inside and out, and that a character like this does not fit the vibes. He is there intentionally to throw the player off when its later revealed he is Sylux and has been baiting Samus by playing a bumbling idiot
>>
>>726010129
Anons are trying to disprove your point with the hours of screentime Otacon eventually gets while simultaneously judging Myles off his 15 minute sequence.
Otacon’s first scene was him asking Snake if he’s an otaku and he also proceeds to piss his pants later. What would people’s first impressions be if this was all we had of him? For all we know this Myles guy ends up treating the situation better later on. We already see other Federation troops in the trailer and they seem to be taking the situation more seriously than him.

Someone pointed out the difference between Myles and Otacon in another thread: Otacon is a joke character. The game is making fun of him. The game is razzing the player for being a fucking nerd who likes giant robots and anime.
Myles is trying to be heckin' valid.

The game is making fun of Myles too. His scan log states that he’s overly talkative and whenever he drops a shitty joke the camera cuts to Samus staring deadpan while he awkwardly tries to act like it didn’t happen.

>>726017140
>They know Metroid inside and out
even prime 3 came out 18 years ago
the director, both senior designers, the art director, the principle artist, 3 of the 5 other credited senior artists, the engineering director, the principle tech engineer and all 3 senior engineers no longer work there, among others. if you look at the previous two games there's even more people who have naturally left in the 20 years since. don't fall into the trap of thinking a company is one single monolithic entity.

MGS is a game from 1998 you fucking retard. it wasn't following gay ass MCU dialogue trends that didn't exist yet

Now I REALLY want to know what was scrapped in 2019 in favor of this

What a time to be alive fellow 2D Metroid fans.
Dread was a great success and sold really well.
Meanwhile Prime 4 is going to put 3D Metroid in a long hibernation.

Otacon doesnt actually make retarded snarky comments. He just says the occasional cringe thing during a cut scene. But during gameplay any codec call you make to him is generally going to be him behaving serious.
>>
>>726018474
That's because Otacon is Gen X and not a retarded millennial

Otacon is a sincerely written autistic

Mackenzie is written by someone who watched 3 episodes of big bang theory

But Sonic by definition is a whore franchise anon. Created to license merchandise and kiddy cartoons, forced to make gimmicky garbage games for non-Sega consoles, with terrible after terrible game embarrassingly ripping off popular things. Passed around so many studios, its canon reset and split so many times, the autistic fandom will never stop fighting about which one is the most embarrassing.

Nowadays they're fully banking on nostalgia and doing Hollywood slop with black women marrying and Jim Carrey putting things up his ass. And its piggy fans eat it up and defend it online because they love their brand.

t. never even played a single Halo game

This is genuinely insane. No other franchise would get this much benefit of the doubt if it wasn't a nintendo title. This marvel geek is NOT fucking Otacon. The metroid redditor is not going to be a vehicle to push themes of love, loss, and fate to the player. He's going to tell samus to shoot the glow red eye for max damage
>>
this just seems pointless to even argue over until retro has to explain themselves. even they don't seem to think it's a good idea based on the presentation so the question becomes why do it anyway
