For people who know more about video game development than me: is it too late to remove him?I honestly think he could single-handedly kill the Metroid franchise if he is left in. Like, Metroid Prime 5 will never be made. Is it too late?
>>726122204He'll do worse than kill it. MP4 will be the highest selling game in the series despite how bad it is. Quiplord will be in the next Smash
imagine this guy railing Samus from the back doggystyle and getting her pregnant
>>726122204Knowing Nintendo, after this first feedback, they're currently trying their hardest to add a plotline in which this guy gets cloned, so you're stuck with two of them for the rest of the game
>>726122401Samus would either dominate him and/or have a meltdown mid sex and start crying, no in-betweens>and getting her pregnantanon her DNA is a nuclear minefield, if this happens I'm booking the bus to the next galaxy ASAP.
>>726122204The final version of the game has probably been ready for 3-4 months or more as of right now. If they've done any work since it would be on a day 1 patch to fix little bugs here and there, nothing major.People will just have to figure out how to mod the npcs out later. Basically, this means altering triggers and scripted events etc. so they just won't show up and anything requiring them (puzzles or locked doors that use them) can be rigged to function differently or just already be in a complete/open state.
Nintendo will never admit fault to anything. Plus the tendies will buy it anyway, most of the complaints are from people that don't own a switch
>>726122401I'm here for this
>>726123074>People will just have to figure out how to mod the npcs out laterThey're a fundamental part of the game. Mackenzie isn't even the only one. There's four NPCs, one for each biome. You will be interacting with them constantly.
>>726122204very disappointing that my name has become popular enough to be used for vidya characters and they are always shit
>>726123074Dude the game IS the NPCs, it will be like BotW TotK, with each dungeon being tied to a NPC
>>726122445At least neither of them will be virgins
>>726122401Finally a character I can self-insert as
>>726122204>is it too late to remove him?Far, far too lateMaybe 2 years ago they could've reworked itBut not today, not in a year, not ever
>>726123217>>726123325There would be some jank, sure, but it's achievable. Think gameshark codes that dummy out certain interactions to let you skip content or walk through an NPC blocking a hallway to a new area. There would just be a lot of work involved.
