I can think of two reasons: blame that would actually fall on Nintendo, and not western writers.
Western/Cali/Female/Millenial writers are responsible for the dire jokes, sure...
But Miles existence put BOTW into perspective for me.

If you think about it for a moment, they're doing BOTW again.
>4 major areas, each based on an element
>Finish each area and rescue a marine from that area who joins your party and will help with the final boss
It's like finishing a Divine Beast/recruiting the help of the Rito/Gerudo/Zora/Goron
In Zelda BOTW it's not as transparently obvious, because the characters are fantasy races, but this is just diversity propaganda.
In MP4 it becomes
>"Samus needs to recruit the help of Galactic Federation teammates of racial diversity to beat the final boss"
Sticks out like a sore thumb in Metroid Prime 4, because of Metroid's tradition of isolation and the lack of fantasy races to cover the "diversity is our strength" message.

The other reason is to put in a bunch of Mario Wonder tutorial flowers.
The diversity issue is probably forced on Nintendo from outside.
The "tutorial flower" problem is 100% something where the blame just falls on Nintendo completely.

tl;dr: The jokes were written by a western retard, but blame for this situation lies with Nintendo itself.

Breaking the premise of isolation, and tutorial flower gabbiness both kill Metroid.
So this is a real line being crossed where the need for propaganda and modernization actually just kills the entire appeal of the thing in the first place.

This is just an ideological way to shift blame from bosses.
If the game has tonedeaf writing the responsibility lies with the management of the studio, directors and producers at every level whose job is to decide the tone of the game. It is their job. If they don't want a game to have cringe millennial humor in it, they can go "let's head in a different direction with this". But they did.

I think it's amazing that there are people pretending to be retarded enough to not understand that the issue is the shit he says, as well as the frequency of his speech. If he was just a cowardly nerd who just silently folows us and only speaks up when he's being attacked or to spout some technobabble during the cutscenes, I doubt many people would give a shit.
Instead, he's a quipping chatterbox worse than most Marvel characters, who cheapens and infantilizes every aspect of the game whenever he speaks.

the tutorial twat is bad and is written horridly, clearly there for nu players to figure out what a samus is, and how that relates to our MC, Metroid.
But pretending this is a big deal is just as, if not more pathetic. The tutorial will be over in less than 1 hour, especially for long time prime players
People who arent NPCs literally dont care, we will roll our eyes at the quips, sigh relief when hes gone, and groan on replays. But we wont really care.

Wrong, cat. Nerdy bitch boy is a good pet for Samus and you know it. You yourself is one, likely got your Buck toothed face raised by Samus herself like many others watching her do somersaults and get naked in front of children on the snes.
Im raring to see the uh "interactions" they will have. Samus screams jock girl that bullies sports nerds, remember lil mac, I can imagine this four glasses memelord getting under her skin and causing her to explode into a sassy bitch by the end of the game
>B-but
The quiet autism robot is a persona. You saw dread, you saw other M. Samus is a brat. She's going to drop the stoic pose, put her hands on her fucking waist and lay down the spanish chozo beaner rant on his ass once he cracks the 999th nerd joke.

"pure idealized escapism" worked for the previous 3 Prime games, and I am more tired of you over everything needing to be miserable and "real" than you are of escapism, which you never cared about anyways.
>>
>>726100586
It's from the rise of geek chic culture where people want to like nerdy stuff, but are too normal to become invested in a weird fantasy of sci-fi fictional universe so there needs to be a character who comments a lot about how weird things are. It's a nerdy character because normal people don't want to feel dumb by thinking things are weird so it's the job of a "smart" character to ask questions they want to ask without making them feel dumb.

its annoying to be handheld but, just like navi it was no where near as bad as people pretended. Press the Fi button, mash A for 2-3 sections of words, and its gone for the next 2+ hours. Maybe she crops up because you spent too long fucking around, and thats annoying, but ultimately normal people just get on with it.
"HEY, LISTEN" is weird because you only really hear that like 5 fucking times in the whole game it feels like.

Banning abortion is about holding women accountable 99.9% of the time which is why it makes them screech and seethe. Sorry, you don't get to murder a baby just because you're a loose set of holes with no morals.

Anyway, Metroid Prime 4 will probably be a mostly cool game but it's going to take some deserved hits for adding this Marvel quip bullshit. Now all we need is for them to go full Dragon Age 3 - have someone refer to Samus as "she" and she goes "Actually, I'm non-binary" and everybody starts pulling a Bharv.

This "Uh, so THAT just happened"-tier dialogue is horrendous. Nobody's going to want to put up with it for the entire game, and apparently it extends throughout the experience, not just when you rescue him. He stays in your comms for your entire playthrough.

You know how "80s fashion" was abundantly god awful and kids nowadays have no idea what the fuck people were thinking back then? My parents have shown me pictures of them with their very 80s hair styles and wide pants and such and told me "its just what was trendy at the time, we didnt realize how crazy it looked until years later." They felt the need to say that because they knew I would have questions about it.

You realize we are gonna have to have a similar conversation with people who arent even born yet about this era of writing and entertainment in general, not just videogames. Some kid is gonna ask you some day, "hey did you grow up in the 2010s and 2020s?" and when you say yes they are gonna be like "why is there a woman pretending to be a man in the suspiria remake? Why is the dialouge in so many games from that era so boring and sterile? Why are there black voids under all the girls skirts? Why are there 700 nearly identical superhero movies?" and you are gonna have to explain it to them, you are gonna have to tell that nerdy 14 year old in the year 2045 about george soros and larry fink and the holohoax and zoe quinn and everything and they arent gonna fully understand and no matter how well you explain it they are gonna still gonna have more questions because how do you explain this shit?

Sincerity in writing is bad because you might do it wrong. And there is nothing worse than trying hard and failing so you must coat everything in flippancy showing that you yourself did not take it too seriously, that it's for "fun" and therefore harsh criticism is just your critics taking it too seriously. This is the key to being a good writer.

He's the annoying sidekick maybe because Samus never speaks, so a retard speaks on her behalf to the player.

They want the brain dead goy cattle audience that gets confused and upset when things are quiet (they can't articulate their thoughts) and constantly need inane droning to play a game.
These "people" also can't relate to things that aren't them and need "relateable" self-inserts because again otherwise they get confused and upset.
Enter these headache inducing trash piles

Money. Why do you think Pikmin 4 had a bloated cast of pointless characters and plushbait dogs? Why do you think a DK game had an obnoxious Pauline sidekick where she's a suddenly a de-aged Pixar kid without explanation? Why do you think they gave Samus a campy bike with wheels? Hollow merchandising and franchising. Every modern Nintendo game must be based around a scope of eventually manipulating it into a medicore Hollywood movie franchise or theme park ride. It's no longer about "how will this make for a better game?" or "how will this please fans of this series?" but instead, "how can this print us more long-term multi-media money?".

Don't be surprised when Samus looks like a man either. Expecting the worst for the face reveal, provided we get one. She already looks bad from just the slight bit we can see in the visor.
>>
how poor are you to have never ever seen a single space sci-fi movie before making that embarassing thread, OP?
>>
>>726109437
Nobody denied that's the point of a company, the actual point is watching a video game company devolve into Disney. But if you're going to start discrediting older Nintendo in order to defend this i.e. "everything was always bad" like you're probably already doing ITT, I have no reason to take you seriously.

it is not enough to have female protagonists
they NEED to be shown way stronger compared to the male characters in the medium

Silver lining, they showed a little restraint and didn't make it this on the nose. Still this kind of shit is so normalized it's not far from the truth.

She doesn't interact with a single living Federation trooper. Her contract is search and rescue for a downed Federation ship. The crew are all dead and she only finds their corpses.

Yes.
Prime 3's NPCs and interruptions are generally one of the most hated aspects of that game. Prime 3 is consistently rated the lowest of the Prime trilogy.

Yes.
Other M is considered to be the worst game in the franchise.

They're going to attempt to do this while simultaneously attempting to force the message that Samus needs her new diverse pals to complete her mission.

the Galactic Federation specifically sent Samus to genocide the Metroids

>Metroid Prime 2
She's still working with eh Federation as she was speicifally sent down to Aether to investigate. It counts.

>Samus Returns
>No
Yes, as it's a remake of Metroid II
>>
>>726112695
In the context of this discussion, "worked with" implies "interacted with during the game", not "included as part of the premise"
The complaint is about this dude being a character IN the game, not the galactic federation having a distant role in the plot
