Exactly. I think this is one of the reasons Sakamoto tried to remove the Prime games from the canon because he didn't want those games to work as evidence against his direction for Samus here. She's practically Batman in her universe, and who in their right mind really thinks they can stop someone like that?

@@johnleonard9102That leaves us still woth Zero Mission, Samus Returns and Super. Where she still did some absolutely batshit insane deeds

Sakamoto is SUUPER deep so Other M is just "MOther" with the M moved. Also the acronym of "Metroid: Other M" spells MOM because this game is as subtle as a rhino in a China shop

@@elevate07 and of course, the BOTTLE SHIP

@Yu Tubaru Yeah that is a stupid fucking theme to base this game around. Firstly putting Samus into the mother role is contrived as hell. Samus found the baby on SR388 at the end of Metroid 2. She immediately brought the baby to the Feds not for protection but for study on its energy capabilities. After that she fucked off until Ridley attacked and Samus turned around to chase Ridley all the way to Zebes. After that Samus never saw the baby again until Tourian just before it died. So where was this time for Samus to bond with the baby? Yes I get that she should be grateful to the baby but there was no time for Samus to weirdly imprint herself onto the baby of the species she just exterminated.

@Yu Tubaru the second reason why this is stupid is that THE BABY plot line is dropped midway through. So Samus is feeling distracted because she imprinted on the baby Metroid she didn't know and now is struggling with the loss. So does she ever get a moment of catharsis? Where she realizes the baby wasn't her fault? Or where she uses the loss to strengthen herself? Or anything? Well no. Instead she gets distracted with the Adam story line (which is arguably worse) and the baby just falls off the map halfway through.

Samus is my wife

Seriously, most of the monologues could have easily been fixed out of the game.

Torkel S H yeah

humm Samus is a human like us. I find this new way to tell the story very interesting, putting us into Samus shoes by knowing what she is thinking. This game is not like the others, it explain how past still hurting her letting us know more deep about her personality like never before ( 49:09 ) one of the best addition to the saga in my opinion.

Prime example of how show, don’t tell works better.

I watched that scene without volume and felt I was playing a prime game

The Federation holds such a grudge against Samus after she left their police force. In this and Fusion, they try to purposely keep her weakened so she doesn’t meddle.

@@lunapyrope9683 Which is really dumb btw. Even after going freelance she still takes contracts from them. Between Zero Mission to Fusion, 3 of those games were federation contracts and 2 of them were pro bono investigation missions.

Worst part of the game, other than that, I thought they did a good job with the writing. The voice actors were pretty bad though. They must have been rushed through the game to pump it out to American audiences and not allowed to reshoot scenes.

I think all of Dread is like this

You forget fusion had dialogue

​@@isauldron4337 I didn't forget that Fusion had monologue's but most of it was text based. We could choose the voice for Samus. Also, the monologue's in Fusion were scarce, and almost always happened in the elevators, when we are taking a break from the action. The rest of the game had in-game "cutscenes".

But also the cutscene's themselves are really gorgious. If you didn't know Samus you would think this was a X360 game.

Precisely. This is why the Prime games are supreme because they excel in visual storytelling.

I'll admit, I love that tease. Of course, normally you can't really predict it, but if you are familiar with Metroid and you know of Ridley, maybe even know Ridley to every ounce you can of him, then you may actually notice that. Love the buildup.

Metroid Fusion is basically Among Us. You're doing tasks in a spaceship and you have to deal with alien's that can mimic you and the crewmates.

Becouse Adam and samus’s relationship just seems abusive.

I think the same as you and the man who responded

How was it poorly presented tho? I don’t get it

@@Fer-fy8dx From my Point of view the whole monolog thing makes the actions slow and make the situations way less impactfull than how they should be. Some of them are allright but in most cases It might been better to just know what's going on by character conversations or a better exposition

It seems very similar to how Anime is put together. I think they followed Anime or had typical Anime writers. If you watch any Anime this is exactly how they do their stories and they use lots of exposition

Robergober lol rober gober

I still think the monotone voice for her is actually very appropriate. Look at it like this. She was seperated from parents and devoided of a childhood at a very young age. Was brought into a race of alien beings who did care for her, but ultimately were hoping to breed her into the ultimate soilder. Though the prime games were rendered non-cannon cause this game. There are a few entries that support the fact the chozo believed samus was the ultimate "champion." Only in this timeline, she goes straight from being trained to be a soilder by the chozo to be being trained again as a soilder in the federation. Don't you think this would have at least some impact on her personality and tone of voice. She can't really afford to let her emotions run her off her mission. Thus why her powersuit was tied into her emtional state of being. If you want to call the retcon to how her powersuit functions as "bad" then fine. I still think it fits with her overal character of being a serious bounty hunter. She has all that power from simply willing the suit unto her being, but still has to keep a ridgid mindset and focus to use it properly.

Khaeldranis ikr

Average Joe If they didnt recon the story it'd be 100% better

what you talking abnout that made her more human its the rest of the games shes a robot i love that this game acaly had a story

I fanally got to kill someone in like 8 years or something

Power Rangers Ghost Force

Power Rangers Cyber Force

Just my thoughts.

Umos if only the story was delivered right

That turned her into the doom slayer at the end of dread

I just have a slight problem with this... At absolutely no point in either Metroid II or Super Metroid did Samus show any semblance of thinking of the Metroid as her child. In fact, she was perfectly content with handing it over to the researchers on Ceres and only went after it because of the same reason she went to Zebes the first time. The Infant may have seen Samus as it's mother, but that didn't mean that Samus viewed it as her child which she needed to protect and raise, because she didn't. She handed it off to someone else. Other M just pulled this "relationship" out of its ass to fit it with the awful story.

@@snekladyrobin Not to mention that whole BABY plotline gets dropped like a green headed baby in a bottle ship. Even if I supported that abortion of a plotline, Samus never gets any sort of catharsis that the Baby wasn't her fault or anything. She just gets distracted with the whole AUTHORIZE ME ADAM plot line. Making the entire first hour of the game totally pointless, not that the Adam shit was any better. And yes I know Madeline Bergman is a toxic parallel to Samus and the Metroid. The main problem is that the Mother Brain waifu should never have existed. But the second problem is that Samus never gave a shit about the Metroid other than its potential use as a weapon up until it saved her. Which she was grateful in Fusion and she should be. But she shouldn't have been obsessed with it like she is in Other M.

@@elevate07 Holy shit... It's like they didn't even revise the script and went with the first draft, this is so awful. Other M continues to astound me

And no mention of the Chozo

Loyalmoonie I agree with you.

Ariana Grace to be more specific it’s a clone of Ridley.

No she seems more like an anime character with a weird drab personality. Maybe she is a little more human, but I prefer normal Samus.

@@jeezed2950 Sure beats lame superheroes in tights with super powers

Congratulations; you are letting the internet tell you how to think

Is there a Problem with that?

Agreed. The weakest, yes. But I still like to play it from time to time. Still got it here. Standing next to my Prime Trilogy. :-)

Actually hunters takes the cake. It is the worst metroid. Replaying this game, it's brilliant, it only needed a better control scheme.

@@jeezed2950 Hunters had all of the right heart with none of the body. They just couldn't fit Metroid on that cartridge unless they made a slick 2D style metroid. I loved the multiplayer, personally. Imagine what Hunters multiplayer could on the Nintendo Switch, for instance.

Pretty sure it's a reference to Alien/Aliens

She was raised by that thing + the chozo in the manga storyline.

it was badass

TheHollowMoon This is true. Samus sometimes calls Mother Brain "Mother" because that's what she and the Chozo called Mother Brain on Zebes.

Nope, the ones who doesn't like the game haven't even played it

I’ll give it. 7 out of 10. But I haven’t played it

Oh I can't wait to hear this. Personality where? No seriously I hear this all the time and no one can explain themselves. That Samus is stupid and unable to think for herself? I mean I guess there's that considering she actively refuses to use lifesaving equipment waiting for Adam's say so like the Varia Suit incident and the Wave Beam incident and technically speaking the Ice Beam incident too. That Samus respects all life? Because she specifically says that's what Adam says, not her. That she regrets leaving Adam's command and that she should've stayed with him? Because that's a pretty stupid motivation that you regret being a free spirit. Or maybe that she really loved the Baby that she met on SR388, then immediately gave it to the scientists at Serris station for study before she fucked off only turning back to answer a distress call because of Ridley and then never seeing the baby again before meeting again on Tourian. I don't know where the personality is other than saying that Samus has always been an inept idiot that can't think for herself that's only exclusive to this game.

elevate07 time to calm down boy

@@mingfei1622 they’re speaking fax tbh

Samus also handed THE BABY over to scientists to be experimented on with no regrets

He calls her a hero too, and it helped her survived their environment and training so maybe she was an exception

Ikr she isn’t even a Metroid yet

Maybe the armor works like high heals?

She lost like 3 feet of height in this game. They used to call her amazonian.

She was changed from 6'3" to like 5'1" or so. Or maybe 5'4". The point is they changed her body from buff tall amazonian goddess that can crush men's skulls like egg of sparrow between her thighs to short (or maybe average female height) generic curvy bimbo

@ZombifiedFish Wow if only anyone cared

@Vayne Carudas Solidor wut

FoxMikage it was good if this was your first metroid game and have no clue who or what samus is. Then yes, this game is decent.

Yeah, I thought so too, and I played the original when it came out new, people hate it because it actually has a story plot instead of just killing things randomly.

it has the best story
