>>726057236>Source: my dilated butthole
>>726057236What's the deal with the outrage on this guy? Is it just because he looks ugly?
>>726057384It's just meme of the week, normalfags wake up every day and have a signal beamed into their head on exactly what to get performatively outraged about
>>726057298the dilated butthole is what shat out this piece of shit in the OP image
hey since it's a legal requirement you'll have absolutely no problem finding the law that says so rightyou can post the law that says they have to do that cant you anon
>>726057236>singlehandedly brings a 10/10 Metroid experience down to an 8/10>a 10/10 Metroid experience I'm not sure if it would be a 10/10 even if it didn't have annoying NPCs.
>make an obligatory DEI hire>discard all of their contributions>have them stay out of the way and fetch coffee for the duration of the project >fire them at the first opportunity It's this easy.
I think I finally realized what sets old /v/ apart from modern newfag infested /v/Nobody jokes anymoreEverytime something silly or stupid comes out it's just outrage outrage outrage, maybe one culture war related meme at best, and then just more performative outrage, we don't joke or meme about things anymoreIf half the stuff people on here get heated about came out 15 years ago we would be having a field day with it, there would be jokes and memes galore, but now it's just people posting from their phones bout how angry they are and that's it, just the same repetitive whining, no fun
>>726057703Took you to long to realize, but I am on the same boat as you.
>>726057703cause normalfags can't meme
>>726057703Maybe you're just too much of an autist to understand irony
>>726057703that's not just /v/, the whole internet is just hate, mostly because the world is getting worse
>>726057703So many here just wants to complain. I doubt the character is even so bad just another reason for online outrage
>>726057536Contracts are legally binding. Their funding has diversity quote requirements in the contracts. You do know what a contract is right anon?
>>726057236> a 10/10Holy fucking cope. You should be thanking the faggots that wrote this character in. We all know this is the kinda shit retarded ass journalists thinks is game of the year writing.
>>726057236All 3 writers are white.
>>726057505No the dilated butthole is your butthole you fucking grifting tranny
>>726057236>singlehandedly brings a 10/10 Metroid experience downHahahaha delusional bingie
>>726059916No, they are all mad at it so you know it’s doing something right
>>726059019It's actually pretty damn bad, and a particularly bad fit for a Metroid game.
>>726057236I recognize that guy
Nintendo is going full multimedia, so they're setting up for a potential Metroid movie. That's why development was rebooted and why all these quirky NPCs are being added
>>726057384Metroid Prime 4 double downs on 3's accompanying NPC for main story, but instead of being serious and part of the world, these characters are Joss Whedon-like in how irony-pilled they are.Millenial writing where these characters are constantly filling in silence with commentary, like you hear in nu-Sony games like God of We Must Be Better Men.
>>726057236when youre right, youre right
>>726060327>Nintendo is going full multimedia, so they're setting up for a potential Metroid movie. That's why development was rebooted and why all these quirky NPCs are being addedHonestly, I could see that being the case. If true, I could imagine them doing that to their other series if the time comes for them.
>>726059019I originally was of the same opinion: "it's most likely as always, completely overblown outrage" until I watched a full preview with him. If you ever played Prime 1, you'll want to have him shut the fuck up definitively extremely fast.
>>726057384He is yellow paint made into an NPC, and also emblematic of Snoy's game philosophy of having a companion or even the fucking MC talking to themselves/the player stating the most obvious shit imaginable.Hopefully it's just this one guy and you never have to be forced to join him again, but I'm casting doubt since the trailer showed Samus encounters other companions which will no doubt follow the same script of talking to Samus, and having to revive them if they get knocked down.
>>726057236Ah yes, the Ubisoft model.
>>726057236>8/10being a bit generous there
>tortanic trannies actually wonFuck Nintendo. Fuck gaming, actually.
>>726057236Jesus
>>726060163>griftingyou don't know what that words means, troonoid
>>726057236>10/10Please, it's a 7/10 and Myles turned into a 5/10.
>>726057236Maybe video games just aren't for you anymore?
>>726057236Try 4/10 metroid experience down to 2/10. The absolute peak a single stick shooter can achieve is 6/10, it's garbage gameplay by design.
>>726057236They only had to hire so many because all of them got sick of appeasing Sakamoto. He doesn't even apologize for Other M, he knew full well not a lot of people would like it but he really wanted to be the next Kojima.
>>726057703Funny enough this step sister becomes the best character in the Cinderella sequels.
>>726057236>future tech with power suits>needs glasses while inside of said power suit>not even subject to corrective optic surgery, something we already successfully pull off in the current, non spacefaring era with inferior, primitive toolsYou cant convince me this chick isnt a literal self insert, and will most likely be a genius/constantly be right/proven right despite the groans of her superiors.What happened to the theme of metroid, it used to be an extremely atmospheric and immersive series
>SO THAT JUST HAPPENED HUH SAMMY??>WOW WE REALLY GOT OURSELVES IN A MESS>BUT STILL BETTER THAN BEING IN AN OFFICE RIGHT?? *motions to high-five*
>>726057236>Riding a motorcycle on flat environments>10/10 Metroid experienceThis game was always going to be shit. This is nothing more than another symptom of the disease that's going to kill the game.
>>726057236Are you telling me in this futuristic, sci-fi world that you still need to wear glasses under a helmet? Come on now
>>726057384It's the dialog, he does those cliche marvel quips on a frequent basis.
>>726064659You dont understand glasses are part of his personalityWithout them, the writer cant self insert into the setting
>>726064475Also>Glasses OUTSIDE the powersuit as well.
>how are we going to science our way out of this one
>>726057384Tendies have had first contact with the culture war. It's not pretty.
>>726065218More like the game has in development so long that it overshot the woke period it was supposed to release in and now all the woke shit will be viewed in a negative light by the same people who would have praised it not 4 years ago.
That looks like a white man to me
>>726057236>10/10 Metroid experience down to an 8/10It was never going to be a 10. 8/10 max with high hopes. Unfortunately, every new trailer brings it down 2-3 points and is currently a 5.
>>726057703true, but this is stage 2stage one was braindead redditors that flooded the site parading the opinions of their groupthink, like nowadays we have zoomers who only opinions come from youtuberspeople no longer have personal opinions and that was the death knell of critical thinking/v/ and 4chan in general is no longer people shitposting, it's braindead retards trying to make their group win
>>726057703Everybody jokes, you're the one taking everything seriously.
>>726057236Nintendo would never let this guy become Wheatley or High on Life levels of cringe. I put up with Hau, I can put up with him.
>>726057703You can't blame the shift.20 years ago it was about a final boss in Gears of War looking like a vagina while laughing about it with idiots on this site.Now you have to keep one eye open while sleeping because people run insurgency operations on gaming forums because they realised one thread/jpeg can ruin/make a game, and if you close your eye for a second they might make Samus Aran a transvestite who supports Palestine and invalidate 30 years of your media's heritage.
>>726057236Why does an annoying NPC suddenly mean you are never allowed like this game/entire series again?
>>726069017>they might makewho is "they"? the random anons on a website?they have no power to undo the past and even if they could, you stressing out to chimp out at any opportunity about it won't stop them from doing it, you don't need to be a guard dog and bark to "defend" your stuff on here, it accomplishes nothing
>>726060501Josh Whedon is Gen-X-er ALTHOUGHBEIT
>>726061061>Nintendo exclusive published by Nintendo>"I BET THE SNOYS DID THIS!"How does one develope tenditis this bad?
>>726057236He is literally chudjak
>>726067813>/v/ and 4chan in general is no longer people shitposting, it's braindead retards trying to make their group winYeah pretty much this you see obvious groups coordinating trying to “bring down” discourse of specific games coughmonsterhuntercough
>>726069173Idk OoT is the agreed upon greatest game ever and it has one.
>>726061061>It's Sony's fault Amazing. Literal Sony Derangement Syndrome. As if Navi wasn't the first annoying companion in Vidya.
>>726060501Post so riddled with buzzwords I got cancer just by reading it.
>>726057703>it's just people posting from their phones bout how angry they are and that's it, just the same repetitive whining, no funPretty much, now you have dedicated spam bots that the only thing they do is to shit on a game all day every day. Even the mods refuse to deal with them because they are also in it with the spammers.The only thing that gets any kind of discussion are gacha games and take a guess why that is.
>>726064109>Coma Cola>ComaOh my God! Is this a sign???
>>726057703
>>726069307>who is "they"? the random anons on a website?Nigga there's people everywhere, no single "they" this isn't an action movie with a main villain group for you to follow along with.Not some group called "The Resurgence" or whatever that make threads on ResetEra.These are companies that have figured out what the best cost benefit analysis is for advertising games and destroying competition.They mimic insurgency military op tactics on foreign countries. They don't need advertising teams, they need one guy who they can contact on Discord who they know is dependent on them for money.That tripfag you're arguing with in some whatever thread, or that one "schizo" poster who's always there. All paid actors.Think about it from a marketing perspective. Let's say one meme catches on about trashing a game. YouTubers catch on to make clickbait, /v/ threads for days laughing, Reddit shadow bans on the subreddit.You do the numbers on how many potential sales can be lost on a scathing meme.
>>726058837It's because anger and fear get the most "engagement", and every major internet platform is geared around the engagement economy. Given that 90% of 4chan is xitter screencaps at this point, it's obvious that they're just bringing their algorithmically-driven outrage with them.
>no actual proof of any quotas which would be easy as hell to produce or prove in a studio in fucking Texas>bro they had to! The evil cabal that needs to put trannies everywhere for...some reason...did this to ruin this game in a franchise for which selling 3 million copies was an incredible achievementIt's just a shitty comic relief character that nobody said no against, this shit has been going on since before fucking video games. They almost put John Travolta in Rambo 2 to liven things up. You retards looking for a sinister conspiracy could at least fucking try.
>>726058078this. normalfags ruined the creative energy of the internet. they don't make anything. they just react to other people's shit which just fuels culture war stupidity. i would say there used to be a time on the internet when a very large number of people had pirated adobe software or gimp so they could create stupid shit to share with others. hell even i used to make photoshops and mspaint comics. how many people even on 4chan do that anymore?
>>726057703imagine if REMEMBAH ME happened today
>>726057703Now that you say it when was the last time /v/ made actual jokes and memes?Last time I remember was the "ghost jannies" from the Final Fantasy 7 remake but that was just a little bit of jokes, didn't last that longThe last big one was with The Last of Us 2 meme templates>both games came out in 2020Man, it's been a whileNot even Concord made any funny memes
>>726059019The character is bad because it's out of place in a Metroid game which has traditionally been about Samus doing stuff on her own in an isolated alien environment, and the Prime series already has a famous in-game mechanic to convey information to her, her visor scan. On top of the cringe-inducing writing.It's not bad because of some stupid culture war bullshit and the illuminati/freemasons.
>>726057236why did Nintendo trust american devs?
>>726057703sooooo.... win???
>>726071696>A company they actually own entirely for a changeWhy do people think Americans are the problem when Nintendo has already proven they are?
>>726059019From the how they are seething I expected him to have that cliche nerdy voice, you know, very nasal and high pitched that stutters a lot but no, dude has a normal voiceI also expected a lot of "mmmm awkwaaard" from how they are saying it's "Marvel's writting" with a lot of pauses and shit but also no, is not even close of thatThere's a reason why the ones pretending to be mad are posting any videos of him, they are just ragebaiting and strawmanningThe ones spamming threads about it on /v/ are the schizos who seeth about Nintendo 24/7 on here and and I know it's them because they stopped spamming their other Nintendo seething threads just to focus on MetroidThe Famitsu thread he was spamming didn't even hit bump limit this time
>>726057536Title VII of the Civil Rights Act plus Griggs v. Duke Power Co. establishing disparate impact by ruling that any employment procedure that filters out specific groups, even if unintentionally, is illegal, thus effectively mandating hiring the protected groups even without affirmative action. You can't even have IQ tests any more. It's one of the single biggest contributors to the competency crisis across all sectors of society.
>>726057703the joke is that they thought this shit would make the game better. you can't trick people into thinking shit doesn't smell bad.
>>726069868No that would be Cedric the owl.
Is she right?
Retro will most likely be demoted to Mario spinoff factory and occasional port codemonkeys like NST was.
>>726074950Nah they wasted an entire decade on Harmony second this shit is out the door they're going right on Metroid Prime 5 with heavy scrutiny.
>>726074784Yes. It's the same shit. People who played these as kids grew up and don't realize that if they go back and replay the games they'd realize that metroid was always the pegi 12 sci-fi zelda. Probably not a coincidence that it's been 18 years since Prime 3. Appreciate the art and the music, but don't pretend you ever need more than 2 braincells to play these games.
>>726074784Not even a little bit. No other game had a constant companion with you, constant yapping in your ear, and constant hand holding on what to do next. Prime 3's "go here" was literally just the 1 hour tutorial sequence and the only yapping basically boils down to "thanks Samus". Everything else is between the worlds or when you're about to face off against the corrupted hunters and they shit talk you a little bit.In Fusion the yapping has been in rooms where the action or exploration comes to a pause and the computer is giving you a rundown on what's going on. The only other times there's talking is during the elevators where she's reminiscing about Adam thinking that the computer is a piece of shit and nothing like him. The game only hand holds you in the extent that it tells you which zone you need to go to next. Not a perfect scenario but hardly as intrusive as people make it out to be.Ignoring Other M that's the extent of your talking and hand holding in Metroid games as a whole. You've never had a partner with you, you've never been hand held through a zone, and especially no talking during gameplay sections. It's absolutely inexusable to do this after an almost 2 decade long wait.
>>726060163Your shitty niggershit game is going to flop.
>>726064209it has mouse controls you retard. they haven't been single stick for 20 years
>>726076883>PC tranny cuck babble
>>726076613>No other game had a constant companion with you, constant yapping in your ear, and constant hand holding on what to do next."Constant companion" is complete speculation, and you didn't even read the post because it was pointing out that the primes already use a hint system at any time to tell you where to go and that the scan visor entries are full to the brim with handholding. But there's little point to arguing with you, mentally you're on the level of a soifacing tendie or a chatbot.
>>726077136You're brown.
>>726077136The hint system only pops up after hours, shows you some random room way off in the corner of the map somewhere saying like "Wave anomaly detected". It's largely unhelpful and easily forgotten about after you close the map. It's almost nothing and from what I remember you don't even have to click the pop-up that does that. You have no argument about the introduction of companion NPCs, constant talking during gameplay segments. The NPC also comments on what to do, where to go, what to watch out for in real time unlike the old "hint sytem". Tell me how any of those points is anything like what we've had in prior games and I'll call you a secondary.
>>726077059>PC tranny cuck babble
Why does he have glasses when he has a cyber suit? Shouldnt that do what his glasses do?
That nerd is like a comic sidekick out of those 1980s movies where you had a bespectacled nerd. GAMERS have higher standards for a sidekick than a nerd from shitty 80s movie that. Come on, do better.
>>726057703Joking is what got us into this mess.
I'm guessing its been in development since the height of Marvel slop and its a remnant.
>>726071696Because they made the first three Metroid Prime games, which were good?
>>726080203Nah. Prime was always shit
>>726064331>webmMan, I loved Drive.
>>726057384Metroid is about atmosphere. You're a bounty hunter on a hostile alien planet all alone. Except now you've got this little faggot following you around making quips and telling you how to play the game.
>>726057384I just don't like unnecessary and annoying characters.

>>726071408I like the Ghost of Yotei woman turned into pot of greed.

>>726057384A character from a Sony exclusive walked into a Nintendo game

>>726057384its like a forspoken character teleported inside a tendie game
>>726077136Hint system is a staple of the metroid serie since super. Super shows general boss location, has upgrade marked on map. You can turn it off in prime 1 and 2 and you can ignore the map in super. 4, zero and 5 forces to open the map. For hunters I havent played in a while but I don't think it's forced.
