Defend this, /v/. Fuck. Silksong has more NPCs than Metroid Prime yet some how that's fine?
Make it make sense.

Video games shouldn't have characters. It should be just the player and nobody else.

Well you don't have to play an escort mission with Sherma for one. He also only talks to you if you engage with him first. You could literally never talk to him at all in a playthrough, whereas with Miles it is unavoidable that you end up talking to him and spending a long time listening to his sniveling voice.

>>726094351
Both games are bad

Sillsong is well written

>>726094719
This
Agency goes a long fucking way. Even without interacting with Sherma, worst case you just hear him singing at the beginning while opening the door and that's it
the mission where you rescue him in white ward might be obligatory for Act 3 but fuck you he's cute

>Make it make sense.
Myles is a 35 year old manchild. Sherma is a literal child.
Sherma will grow up to be the Pope. He will make the world a better place.
Myles is already grown up, and is a waste of oxygen. The world would be better off if Myles was never born.
>>
>>726095143
Better than most games at least

>let's have an ugly, pathetic man constantly mouth off during every inch of Samus's journey!
Really what the fuck was Nintendo thinking?

>>726095051
What if you just never open that door at the start?
>>
>>726097886
he still finds a way
he also finds a way into the citadel even if you never kill the judge to open the door, and he finds a way into the spa before you manage to open it up
>>
>>726094351
Because Sherma is a shota. That's it. He could be the most obnoxiously written character in the game, and people would be like "but the /ss/ porn with Hornet is great!"
>>
its honestly sad too because hornet is what i imagine a npc heavy metroid game would be

her dialogue is how i thought samus would act if she blabbed a lot
>>
>>726094351
>Defend this, /v/.
The first encounter with Sherma lasts about 2 minutes, with the player away from him for the majority of that time. You can leave and never come back. Later you see Sherma pop up a few times, and you can ignore him completely. By the time they actually introduce a "escort mission" for Sherma, you are probably at least mildly invested in the character. The mission does not require you to protect Sherma, takes places in one room, and lasts about 2 minutes.
>>
Sherma just bangs her bell and makes a funny noise.
>>
>>726095534
True.
>>
>>726097994
Lame and gay.
>>
>>726094351
Sherma is a naive child with a good heart that steps up to help his fellow pilgrims in a time of crisis. The other one is a Joss Whedon reject with no charm whatsoever.
>>
>>726094351
Sherma is cute and you barely get to be with him in the adventure, Mackenzie is ugly and up your ass, you're constantly in an escort mission with him.

Someone like Sherma puts you more into the world. Someone like Myles takes you out of it.
Sherma does not overstay his welcome. He is present in specific areas to have some conversations with. He does not force his prescence upon you outside of those. Everything we know of Myles shows he will be constantly quipping over comms regardless of whether you wish to hear it or not.
Myles is a standard marvel quipper. Sherma is a naive religious child.
Is it possible we will be proven wrong about Myles? I suppose. I won't be getting my hopes up though.

I hate seeing people wear glasses in high sci-fi settings. I hate that Faggot has glasses inside and outside his helmet too.

Metroid has no room for human interaction.
Metroid Prime is a power trip about my autistic ass inside a power suit, exploring bizarre planets, looking at the beautiful vistas and enjoying the music while I unleash holocaust on the local fauna. As long as quirky chungus keeps interrupting my contemplative solitude, I won't consider it a Metroid game. And it's not just about the nerdy guy and his Marvel quips, I DESPISE that you have to babysit these Fed retards.
These fucks were a major flaw in Metroid Prime 3 because you couldn't feel an ounce of solitude in that universe, you were always taking orders and directions from them. Other M sucked ass too, but at least their inclusion worked a lil bit better because the story progression made it seem like a slasher flick and you knew those faggots were gonna die.

>>726094351
Sherma may look stupid as shit at time, but his methods eventually bear fruits

Should Sherma have been a girl or a boy?

You can't lock yourself out of act 3. Don't stress about it.

>>726094351
Sherma is a kid and a pure innocent soul, in the harsh environment provided I want Sherma to make it. Myles is an adult, which at the brink of dying on a garbage planet decides not putting up with some random guy instead is a win because cracking jokes is funnier than actually presenting some cowardice to survive. He's portrayed as a nerd idiot who shouldn't be in the Federation Force.

Sherma won BIGLY

You don't seem to know what "fish out of water" means if you think claptrap fits the term.

>>726100831
Pretty sure the majority of Metroid players have wanted the federation expanded on since Super, maybe Fusion.
>>
>>726100912
There are screenshots showing NPCs accompanying Samus in different parts of the game with varying upgrades, even if Myles fucks off the rest of the circus will constantly be on her ass.

I don't give a fuck nerd. He still applies to everything else. Annoying and loud like every Borderlands character. Everyone yaps a lot but says nothing meaningful. And It's going to be the same shitty millennial writing with this gay new Metroid sidekick character.

What people want is meaningful context for Samus's space adventures that put the games into a greater context.
What they don't want is randoms talking at you and disrupting the game flow.
Unironically Metroid would do well more Lore, but not more non-antagonist characters, not like tax policy shit but a general understanding of the average tech level and living conditions so that when Samus deals with advanced genetics or mystical tech its specialness is pronounced.
