Metroid: Other M kinda sucks

I've been playing it for a day and am pretty far. They strayed too far from the traditional Metroid feel of losing all your items and having to reclaim them. The game doesn't even feel like Metroid. Enemies don't drop energy or missiles. It is very strange how this got a green light.

I'm not impressed. The Prime series was so damn good and this game is a failure. I haven't played the entire thing, though. Maybe it'll change. Probably not.

I'll have a follow up post detailing what I don't like about the game.

I've played the entire thing. It really picks up at the end, as exploration becomes useful and the story stops sucking. But it doesn't come near pretty much any of the other Metroid games in quality. The really annoying thing is that all of the really stupid things with the game were done on purpose, so the amount of potential wasted is epic.

I just beat the game but I'm probably not going to bother getting 100% since I can't bring myself to play anymore. It is way to linear and boring.

Aside from the Prime series (which are a different category), Super Metroid was the best Metroid game. Fusion came close, but was a bit awkward at times.

My favorite was always Zero Mission, actually; with Fusion and Super tied for a close second.

I'll just keep posting my feelings in more posts.

Why did they do so much terrible story in this game? They made Samus into a whiny bitch instead of a solemn hero. I really can't understand why they green lighted this story. It really makes Samus less of a heroic person.

And what was the first person "HALT AND FIND SCANNABLE OBJECT FOR 10 MINUTES" forced scenes about? I literally spent 10 minutes looking around for something to scan. The cut scenes are ridiculous and basically the whole game shouldn't be called Metroid. AND WHY SHOW SAMUS IN ZERO SUIT FORM!

Other M was a huge let down if you ask me =/ The control layout was Awkward and interrupting to the action and it all feels Disjointed and not fully developed But the one thing that REALLY mad me mad was how they made Samus out as some whiny little girl, Shes suppose to be the most bad ass Bounty Hunter in the galaxy yet she sounds like a pre-pubescent girl reading from here Diary >: (

You hit that part correctly.
