Metroid Other M is more Metroid then the Prime games

Metroid Other M is more Metroid then thePrime games. Don't get me wrong I love the Prime games their great in there own right. Other M feels more likeMetroid then Prime. Other M is what Metroid should be minus the whinning Samus and lack of exploration. If they could make a game with the feel of Other M on the scale of Super Metorid itcould have been great. Samus belongs in 3rd person.

other m is no where close,stupid story line makes samus look like apunk easyto beat and worst of the feel of exploration is gone!

So then, it's not what Metroid should be?

I'm not saying Other M is Better then Prime. What I'm saying is Other M was a step in the right direction for Metroid 3rd person. Other M had some major flaws which kept it from being as good as previous Metroids. If Other M could have been on the scale of Super Metroid with exploration it could have been just as great.

Hmm... I gotta disagree...
The only similarity Other M and the 2D Metroids had was being in 3rd person and having Samus as the main character.
Metroid Prime had the exploration, the isolation, and the feel of a Metroid game, only in 3D with FPS elements.

Other M isn't a bad game, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone as their first Metroid game.

I will agree with the lack of exploration but a punk. Very stupid comment. I mean come on, she has emotion and they add a little bit of humanity in her and its 'boo hoo tantrum time.' call her a punk in Other M but, and correct me if i'm wrong, doesn't she...win?

You should buy yoursefl an RPG, like Xenoblade. Metroid originally was an action adventure platformer. Think of Return of Samus, Super Metroid, Zero Mission and of course Fusion. Amazing games with minimum exploration with story line consisting of crossing from point A to B. But every single of it is a milestone in the gaming world.

I enjoyed Other M very much. Of course it's smoething different from Prime but still was cool :) First of all Other M and Prime shouldn't be compared with eachoter since both are different genre. The comparision is like this: I hate Prince of Persia because I played Call of Duty - pointless andwithout substantive meaning.

The only thing I can complain about Other M is that Samus looks way to sexy and feminine as for Nintendo standards. So if you think Other M is to easy than beat hard mode :P

I think the Prime games were better Metroid games, but I definitely see what you are getting at. I would love to see them make another 3rd person Metroid.

Nothing wrong with that, the series has to see some change. Its like when I was reading that insanely over exaggerated story on 1up about how Other M killed the franchise. I mean even if I hated the game with a passion, one game in a series that spans 25yrs killed the series? really? But I digress lol, when I was reading that, I was thinking and if every Metroid had been Super Metroid since 1994, people would be talking about how the series has stagnated. The series has to do different things every now and then to stay fresh and I think Corruption is the best example of that. It kept the soul of the series intact, but added new features to really freshen it up. Sepewrath

What you posted there is just the generalization of veteran gamers, not just restricted to "fanboyism"

[QUOTE="TheFallenDemon"] Ah, the mystery of fanboyism. Keep things the same and people whine for change. Change things up a bit and people whine for more of the same.BrunoBRS

Well its pointless to argue semantics, but the take home is, as a gamer, you do yourself a disservice by blindly following something or blindly hating it. You miss out on a lot of great games doing that. So whatever you want to call someone, who refuses to play a game like Galaxy 2 because its on a Nintendo platform or Uncharted because its a Sony platform, their not doing themselves any favors.

There are several dozens of good wii games out there, including several dozens of wii games I've played and many, many more I would like to play that I haven't gotten around to yet. I'm sure there are many who appreciate Sony/Microsoft almost as much as I do of Nintendo. To an extent that's fine. I mean I'll never say to anyone "You like Grand Crap Auto 4, the game controlling a terrorist but that's fine because YOU enjoy it" I'm not going to say that. But fans who like ps3 because of LittleBigPlanet along with a series of games that I would otherwise say that's cool (as opposed to freekin Modern Warfare 2 and others) are all right.

Oh and about that "disservice" part: not if the game is so over the top ridiculous to the point of prostitution, murdering innocent bystanders, slavery promotion, etc. It wouldn't matter if that game got "game of the decade" I won't buy it nor support it. Matter of fact, it's probably a disservice to those who DO support a game like that which includes but not limited to Grand Crap Auto.

lol Prime 2 always makes me think of A Link to the Past. Sepewrath

Other M was a dissapointment the combat was easy to learn and the lack of not finding power ups sucked whereas Prime just nailed it with atmosphere,locations,weapons and most importantly exploration plus Samus wasn't a boring character in that game.

I didn't think Other M felt much like a Metroid game at all... no desolation, the atmosphere was all wrong (I hated the generic environments and when you could see the metal parts of the ship... ugh), too linear. Metroid Prime really did nail the Metroid feeling. 2 and 3... eh, not as much, but they were still great.

Metroid Prime nailed the feeling of Super Metroid in first person.

All the Metroid games have felt like Metroid. Other M was the one that took the most departure from the core Metroid mechanics, but was still fairly good at what it set out to do, be an action oriented Metroid title.

The best mix of old and new to me is still Metroid Fusion.
