The worst part about this is that it will instantly sour the general public's opinion on any future metroid games having npcs in the same way Other M soured the general public on Samus talking. Which is a shame because both things can 100% work and even enhance a metroid game, as shown in the best metroid game from the last two decades Silksong.

Frankly, and I admit I am biased, but I think a Samus/Shota dynamic could be good. I mean anything could be good if done well, but for me it's the precedent of the baby metroid in II and Super, and Samus' suppressed motherly instincts being a constant theme. I know how I'd write it, but that's just me.

Re: Myles. I initially hated Myles. I still hate him.
But I'm having a hard time staying mad at the character now that I know he's Kensuke Tanabe's self insert.
I called Myles an ugly character, but I'd never say that to an actual person.
That said though
If I were Tanabe, I wouldn't have had my self insert character be a soldier. I don't believe Myles is a solder. Lots of factors go into why this doesn't work.
But I would have believed the character if he were a Federation researcher. A civilian. Maybe even, if we're running with the self insert idea, researching holograms, or VR, or simulations - to have some resonance with the idea of Tanabe being a producer for these games.
I'd also make sure he's fun to be around, and visiting him is always enjoyable and a benefit to the player.

This is all very doable from a writers standpoint.

>>727606949
>if they just killed him here we could've had a good game

>>727611426
The thing is that if you make a game with a silent protagonist, you can't just make them start talking in a sequel. Skillsong worked because Hornet is not the same guy you played as in the first game.

>>727611925
But the reason Samus is a silent protaganist isn't because she can't speak. She's not meant to be a self insert like Link. She doesn't speak because in most metroid games she is entirely alone. But she still has internal monologues and talks to herself. If you're gonna add NPCs there's no reason not to have her speak

I guess the thing is, if I ever somehow ended up in charge of a Metroid game and got to run with this idea, I'd have the shota character be mute. Not necessarily actually mute, but just he and Samus wouldn't talk.
I think that's sort of a must for making a shota/Samus dynamic likeable. He would have to be a character that people enjoy having in the game, and the character having basically an empty personality that people can see traits they find likeable in, would be the trick.
I've got more ideas re: this, but idk if they're worth posting. Nobody should care about my fanfic.
>>
>>727614221
Honestly yea.
It's awful.
I just imagine myself in a room with Tanabe and I would be less mean about Myles.
Tanabe is getting a lot of hate, apparently he's also done wrong by Chibi Robo and Paper Mario, but seeing the games he's produced, to me he actually seems like one of the better producers working in the industry.

Idk if anyone will hear me on this, but I actually respect his interest in the Galactic Federation marines. With his work on previous Prime games I wonder if he still thinks he's competing with Halo. I'd love to talk to the guy frankly, and hear what he's thinking.

Followup to this >>727614640

No one cares about this bullshit I'm about to say.

But on some level I get it. I get the Federation Marines. They ARE cool on some basic otaku level. Or they should be. They're at their coolest in Prime 2 and 3 when they're competent super soldiers.
On some level I think I get why Kensuke Tanabe thinks they're cool.

If I understand correctly, Kensuke Tanabe apparently co-produced Metroid Prime with Miyamoto and a few other people, and then stepped more fully into the produce role with Prime 2. And then was the sole producer on Prime 3. Honestly yea, that's a concerning track record.
Each game got more "Halo" as his influence grew.
But Halo isn't a bad game. I suspect Retro Studios, as an American influence on Nintendo, probably also had a lot to do with the gradual Halofication of the Prime games, and influenced Nintendo's views on what Metroid is.

The thing that's tricky is that the Halo series became a straight up critique of the USA military jingoism of the 2000's.
Halo straight up critiqued the US George Bush "War on Terror". The original Halo games are anti-war in the way MGS games are anti-war.
So basically Halo itself kind of ended (in 2010, with the last real Halo game) with the idea that blindly being a soldier isn't cool or fun.

And this is why the Federation Marines haven't worked.
On a very basic level they're cool, power armor soldiers, but Halo was arguably a direct anti-war piece against being a soldier.
So while Halo was sort of against the idea of blind military service, Nintendo is still looking at the Federation with this early 00's jingoism mindset.

Pic related is Nicole from Erosuit Samus X by Onomeshin. He's cute as fuck, and if he were in Metroid Prime 4 instead of Miles MacKenzie, I would have bought that shit in a heartbeat.
You have to understand: a shota/femboy/tomgirl is the only type of male that you can actually plausibly pair Samus with. No one else works. Look what happened when they tried to shove Anthony Niggs in your face: instant rejection

Wheatly isn't so bad, but Cave Johnson is straight up bad writing IMO.
Portal is supposed to take place in the Half Life universe, Apeture being a similar corporation to Black Mesa.
Portal 1 and 2 are funny, and it's ok to have a more lighthearted spin on the Half-Life universe, but Cave Johnson crosses the line into just being an actual idiot who completely takes the weight out of the Half-Life setting if we're supposed to believe Portal and Half-Life really are in the same universe.
It's not like it's a big issue nowadays, but I don't see people talk about this often.

I just don't understand it. I honestly don't. Just who finds this funny? No one does. I'm sure most normies probably just tollerate these characters in movie or barely pay attention to them while fucking smoking weed or something. But genuinely, does anyone know of a person who finds this funny? Which goes to say, do the writers find them funny? Are they self dellusional? It's honestly so baffling, I don't understand how something like this comes into existence much more becoming a trend.

I never knew what Portal was until I tried it for the first time and that thing already got grating, but given the overall tone of the game and how GlaDos talked too, I figured that was the style. Metroid has never had this style before and was not known for it.

If we go by costs alone, this game has been in development at least 10 years and it also got a restart since the Bamco one was trash. Wouldn't be surprised to learn it's the most expensive game financed by Nintendo at this point, straight up shooting it into AAA category just by that metric.

Pretty much this. You were never truly alone in Portal 1. Glados was always there, observing and talking to you. Since Portal 2 is going to be longer and lonelier than Portal 1, they decided to add Wheatley to lighten up the mood. Timing was also important. Portal 2 got released in an age where annoying sidekicks and quippy humor was still fresh. Then the MCU, Borderlands, and other games that I cant remember right now, pretty much ruined it.
On the other hand, Metroid has established Samus as a lone explorer, since the NES game.
There enough light puzzles and exploration to keep you invested at all times in Metroid, so shitty sidekicks are not needed.
Portal 2 is 99% of cold puzzles in boring test chambers and old science lab ruins. It can get lonely for some players, so this is why Wheatley exists

Back when the game came out, people were talking about Cave's bullshit. But most discourse got veered off by reddittor faggots screeching about lemons. But a majority of the oldfags hated Cave's crap but at the same time sorta forgave it because the game itself was really good.

Realistically, /v/, how kino would it be if they do a complete 180 near the end of the game and the silly quirky characters start getting picked off as the game goes on? One gets captured and eaten by a Metroid, or another is taken as ransom by space pirates who threaten to kill him if Samus doesn't show up unarmed(they kill him anyway). Then near the end of it McKenzie learns he has to grow out of the qurik-chungus faggotry and actually becomes a more serious and competent person while still retaining a tad of his samus-geek personality.
Or he just dies instantly from a phazon blast or something lmao

I think any kind of character could work if they were about as silent as Samus. Would turn the annoying shit into funny slapstick.
>>
>>727607563
As an enjoyer of both, fuck no. I want Samus to be alone exploring the planet, only checking in with some computer once in a while for the next mission briefing at the most before being allowed to get right back to fucking off to do some more splorin and enemy slaying before finishing the game off by blowing up the planet.
>>
>>727638650
NTA
But it'd be easy to do too
Just have the character be initially scared of Samus because she's this big killer possibly robot thing in this suit of armor
and the character slowly realizes she's acutally a nice person who is fighting the bad monsters.
So this nonverbal trust develops where the sidekick is nonverbally like "ok this strange badass walking tank thing is nice, I'll respect it and get behind it"

Untrue, we humans are genetically predisposed to prefer talking to an actual face. In the real world, this manifests from bikers flipping their visors up when they get stopped by the police (or anyone else) first thing as a sign of respect to viewing people generally as less trustworthy when they wear shades.
Seeing a face is always more personal and unless there's a real, current threat that requires you to keep the helmet on, anyone would disengage a visor or take a helmet off
Unless of course they are some disrespectful turdie but that's a given

It's not hard to understand at all, it just isn't a term that has been used in any dialect of English and has never been needed since better pejoratives have existed for decades if not centuries.

It is unnecessary by virtue of there being sufficient terms which already fulfill its purpose, so no, "superfluous" was quite correct in the manner in which it was used. Retard.

I agree but also I think it's just a matter of devs knowing what they're doing. After Other M everyone assumed Samus should keep her mouth shut but Dread has her speak and screaming her head off and everyone liked it. It is odd for a game with such a heavy NPC presence that she wouldn't talk when she's not actually a silent protagonist. It's not like she's Gordon Freeman. Even Half Life 2 made that man of few words joke to at least acknowledge it.
Although considering the writing in this game, maybe it's for the best.

Entropy. Everything turns to shit eventually. New good things show up eventually, so don't lose hope.

Why do they always have to point out the obvious? This isn't an audio drama. I can see what she's doing.

i care. i read it.
I kinda see your point, helldivers is kind of at a similar point where it is meant to be a parody of sorts, but you can't make a parody lame and boring

Lmao yeah god forbid the devs let me shut him up for five goddamn minutes. Every time I take two steps it’s "Oh wow, did you see that?!" YES, I HAVE EYES, YOU TURD. It’s like they played Navi and thought, “what if we made her talk more and be more smug?”

I love it, Metroid fans had to wait for years and were so close.
Now they get their game but it turns out someone spit in their food.
