>>726046789It's fucking baffling.

>the lords of shadow devs are the last people on earth who know how to make a real metroid game
>>726046789I still need to complete this shit, actually. Should I bite the bullet and commit to clearing a playthrough before Prime 4 drops? I hate that Other M is lingering in my backlog, but I also don't really want to boot up my Wii for such a boring game.
just to suffer? https://youtu.be/bk5MD6W7SwM?si=OdT28gG-lQbmGnoQ
>>726047610No, it was Team Ninja. Tired of secondaries claiming Other M was bad when it was literally the only Japanese Metroid game by a real dev. Everything we've had after Other M is literally just another derivative of what Super Metroid/Fusion did.
>>726048108>an action game with one attack and nothing else
>>726046789Look at what they were saying in articles and interviews at the time. They never understood why it was so reviled, they were just disappointed it didn't sell as well as they expected.
>>726048394Compared to... Every Metroid game??
>>726048108Other M also ripped off Fusion.
>>726046789I haven't seen anything that character assasinates Samus though?
>>726048654which are also bad action games, yes
>>726047767It's honestly not as bad as people make out if you just view it as a B-grade action game. It's actually kinda okay in that light. Take away the Metroid name/lore and put it on Steam for $20 and it would at least make its money back.
>>726048776How can two games in a series rip one another off? Low quality 4-bit quantized bait.

>>726048815You're not thinking ahead. She's shown needing to rely on her new teammates to solve certain puzzles. The game is almost certainly doing a "Samus is weak on her own, but with her new friends, she's strong" messageAnd that's the character assassination.
>>726047442Atleast this gem gets to be posted again, yeah I remember
>>726049309>"Samus is weak on her own, but with her new friends, she's strong" message
>>726046789I genuinely don't get the hate for Other M. It was basically Metroid in 3rd person. I thought it was kino
>>726048654Every other Metroid title is an adventure game. Other M isn't because Adam locks all the doors off the critical path forcing you through a linear series of combat challenges.
>>726049592How is it any different than other Metroids locking you out of areas til you get the upgrade?>>726049309I didn't get that impression from the story. It showed a more vulnerable side but she wasn't portrayed as weak
>>726049863Other games the world would open up as you get new abilities. In Other M, Adam will lock doors behind you to prevent you from backtracking before the dedicated backtracking section.
