Reminder due to the cycle of Nintendo games and zoomers. Expect Other M to become a “hidden classic” within the next year or so. Same shit happened with Wind Waker and Sunshine. They are going to try and hold up Other M as misunderstood.
-
other m is not a bad game and i’m tired of pretending it is
-
The gameplay was genuinely fun and the finisher moves on some enemies were very satisfying. It really is just the story that is frustrating. I think Nintendo understands at this point that Metroid games should exclusively be made by western devs from now on. Mercury Steam did a great job, Retro Studios did a phenomenal job, team ninja screwed up and that one korean studio meant to develop prime 4 screwed up so bad we never even got to see the game.

>The gameplay was genuinely fun
no it wasn’t, also fun is a buzzword -
>The gameplay was genuinely fun
It’s kind of fun until you realize that you can just mash the d-pad and never die in 95% of fights -
>The gameplay was genuinely fun
Not really -
I’m guessing you also enjoy super paper mario’s gameplay?
-
Never played it, never will.
>team ninja screwed up
They weren’t the ones who handled the story though.That is true, i’m sakamoto himself is responsible for it. All the more reasons to stop the japanese from handling Metroid.

Don’t pretend you’ve actually played it.

I got it on launch and avoided reviews since I didn’t want spoilers. Refer to
Also, watching terrible movies is fun with friends, doesn’t make them good
for an abridged list of my complaints that I could remember in just 30 seconds after having not touched the game for a decade.
-
I played it and finished it, and beat Phantoon. The game sucks
-
I 100% it. Never touched hard mode though. I will always have thr bad memories of me constantly dying to queen metroid due to the last part where you grapple her mouth and morphball inside but because nothing prompted me I can use power bombs now I just didn’t know what to do until I died
-
I feel like the outlier since I’ve never met another person who got it first try like I did, and it’s in the top ten things people hate about the game.
In the interest of fairness, I’ll list the things I actually enjoyed about the game
>I really liked the little birdie design and twist regarding it, even if the middle phase and ridley designs were fuckawful
>lava fish was a pretty decent fight as far as this game is concerned
>I like that the hatchling was genetically predisposed to becoming a queen metroid, one of the only things that feels like an addition to the lore rather than a cancerous tumor
>fixed a couple plot issues with fusion
And that’s literally it. Everything else about the game can burn in a hole.-
>fixed a couple plot issues with fusion
Like what? Ridley’s corpse in fusion? That really didn’t need a game to explain it and it isn’t like ridley was that important in either game besides ptsd

-
OP’s point proven already
-
I never thought the gameplay was bad, it was actually it’s strong point. The complaints were always about the story and Samus’s characterization into this meek Japanese housewife.
Dread’s Samus is pretty much the anti-thesis of Other M’s Samus, a complete badass. It was basically a direct response to Other M’s criticism.
-
The gameplay is bad while also being its strongest point. Every other aspect is just that much worse.
-
>The complaints were always about the story and Samus’s characterization into this meek Japanese housewife
What do you expect from the same devs as Dead or Alive? -
>I never thought the gameplay was bad, it was actually it’s strong point.
The gameplay is braindead, there’s a dodge system with 0 thought put into it, a lack of joystick, a retarded first person mode that pins up to the ground and you can just heal to 100% at any point.
It’s a fucking joke of an action game in every way imaginable and the fact the retards like you pretend the game’s "only" problem is the story. The story is the least of its problems.
-
>The complaints were always about the story and Samus’s characterization into this meek Japanese housewife.
These are from those who didn’t play the game and just parroted what they heard.Other M’s moment to moment gameplay is far more frustrating then the occasional hilariously bad cutscene.

I mean it wasn’t THAT bad. The story was pretty cool and the 2d/3d thing was handled way better than something like Super Paper Mario.

>Expect Other M to become a “hidden classic” within the next year or so.
The game is 11 fucking years old, anon. It would have happened by now.-
You don’t understand. It only happens when a sequel comes out. Zelda cycle and all that. I remember people nostalgia posting about Wind Waker when Skyward came out and for Twilight after BOTW happened
-
Zelda and Metroid are very different
-
You also said people were going to start calling skyward sword a "hidden classic" when BotW came out and it still hasn’t happened.
-
-
>The game is 11 fucking years old, anon. It would have happened by now.
this.
-
-
I doubt that’ll happen as the bad parts severely outweight the few good bits

Same thing was true about Sonic 06 but Zooms are trying to repair that games reputation
-
-
it will always control like ass
-
Fuck off melanoid, Wind Waker and Sunshine at least has redeeming qualities like unique settings, artstyle and new gameplay ideas that set them apart in their series
Other M has an inane fucking plot full of exposition that constantly interrupts your flow. Even if you disregard this, the shit level design and no new abilities make inferior to basically any other Metroid game. It fails as a Metroid game and its fucking worse as a lore/story entry.
-
And that is why I absolutely expect this game to try and get the redemption arc. The tedious linear approach is far more in line with modern AAA sensibilities and I expect brain trusts to latch onto it as the only good Metroid
-

It fails as a basic videogame because of the fucking controls

No, other m is irredeemable shit.
This will probably happen on youtube by some dobson-like tasteless faggot who thinks his existence is justified by views on his youtube channel
-
-
>Wind Waker
Wasn’t Wind Waker generally well-recieved back then, and the only people who didn’t like it were a bunch of autists upset about the artstyle?-
Yeah, there was a huge backlash when it was first shown off, because 2002 was still very much Gen X Papa Roach tier aesthetic sensibilities for the gaming world, but anyone who wasn’t a waste of oxygen was won over when they actually played the game.
The main valid criticism of the game was that a lot of content was cut due to time constraints, with the Triforce hunt being incredibly unenjoyable, especially since no blind player would rush to the 5k wallet immediately. If that isn’t why you hate the game, you should probably have a nice day.
-
-
Other M was always good, you retard. It was just Metroid "fans" pooping on it because they got filtered by a Wii remote.
Also Federation Force is great with friends (which metroidfags don’t have so they shit on it)
-

>Nintendo gamers
It’s not exclusive to them, that’s why shit like Sonic 06 is now underated because it had sooooo much potential and the story ‘isn’t too bad’ or whatever bullshit because some drooling retard kid had the misfortune to grow up with it.-
I’ve seen COD Ghost apologists as well even though the game was objectively accepted as garbage until the past year or so
-
Ghosts wasn’t as embarassing as MW3 at least.
-
-
-
I have more respect for the snoys who think the last of us 2 is the best tps ever made than for the misshapen sewer dwelling creatures who think other m is a good game
-
i don’t like wind waker or sunshine much either relative to the wii ones myself op but at least they’re actual games. it’s like calling fucking sonic 06 a "diamond in the rough".
-
I genuinely think this game had potential, it could have been a fun action spinoff game with just a bit more polished gameplay. The story and the cutscenes should be completely deleted or rewritten into something decent, though.
-
-
What fucking zoomers? Zoomers don’t play Nintendo games
-
I’d argue against this, but then I remember how people suck Skyward Swords dick now due the remake, so I can see it happen if it gets a re-release that "fixes" the controller. Seeing how some people been "critiquing" the would 100% been on board Other M if not for the story and controller, and if the controller was fixed the contrarian ducks could just rant how PTSD humanized Samus or some shit and not liking it is what is actually misogynistic.
-
>Same shit happened with Wind Waker and Sunshine
fucking retard, people always loved these games
the whole nintendo cycle is a tired meme that died with skyward sword -
It’s not a classic and never will be. However it is a good game which which had the misfortune to be buried under a ton of hyperbolic bile because everyone’s favourite space bounty hunter lady got turned into a subservient wimp with a stick up her ass.
-
I fucking LOVE Skyward Sword
I adore Wind Waker
I like Sunshine
Other M is not that bad, it’s enjoyable. Not an instant classic like every other game in the series except for maybe Samus Returns but still not as bad as everyone says it is -
I haven’t played it but it doesn’t sound too bad to me on paper. Having seen the Ridley and Nightmare designs they look awful though. GF Samus looks great. Probably won’t ever look at that time period again though because of association with this game.

It wasn’t a bad game but it was a dull GTA game
It had repetitive missions (its biggest crime), dull side activities, no flying, controversial vehicle handling, and more!
Many people compared it to the very forgettable Getaway series when it first launched because it dropped the goofy GTA stuff for a more grounded, realistic experience-
>no flying
It had flying though what the fuck. And I don’t think it was a dull GTA game. Absolutely on par with VC, SA and III for me

people have never stopped pooping on sunshine. on the other hand wind waker was only hated by a loud minority that only cares about muh graffix, and who has probably moved on by now to only consoom ps4 games
-
Wind waker and sunshine never got even slightly as much hate as other M
-
I honestly see nothing wrong with it, has its share of flaws, but nothing is perfect.
-
Considering the amount of people that think Harley Quinn and Joker is a positive relationship I can see the same people thinking Samus’ relationship with captain "don’t use your radiation shields" is a highlight
-
Reminder that the examples of "bad" games OP mentioned were universally enjoyed by people who were actually in the target demographic and the majority of complainers were too old for them and should have moved on.
-
>Gravity Suit
-
But Wind Waker and Sunshine were great.
-
Other M will probably have its defenders in the same way Star Fox Zero does.
-
Zero is deserving of its criticism, but its not the abomination some people claim it is. I wouldn’t mind it getting a Deluxe port on Switch with big improvements, but I’d much rather see a new Star Fox game altogether.
-
Same. I don’t consider Other M to be the same level of disappointment as Star fox zero. With star fox zero it had hints of a great game but had its bad elements hinder its full potential. A deluxe port can definitely fix a lot of what was bad about the game while also keeping true to the original title.
Other M I consider as fundamentally flawed since story aside, the environments are uninspiring, the combat and gamelan while looking neat is fairly oversimplific since you’d just be dodge rolling then unleashing a charge shot most of the time, collectibles and exploration is perhaps the worst in the series to date, and the music besides a few remixes isn’t anything special.

I’ve seen the VA’s work and she isn’t bad at all, she was just given shitty direction from a non native English speaker. The few times she does emote in the game she does a good job at least imo
-
At least it’s better than the French Canadian version where they’ve got generic Joe Schmoe voice through a filter.
-
-
Other M is a fun game with a terrible fucking story and atrocious treatment of Samus.
>The baby
I actually am more mad about the getting scared of Ridley, thing.
Oh, and the MB thing…
Again, fun game, absolutely dogshit story.-
>getting scared of Ridley
What the fuck were they thinking? How could somebody look at that and not raise any fucking questions? Also you forgot the part where Samu cooks herself inside of her suit cause daddy Adam didn’t give her permission to activate the fucking heat resistance function of the fucking suit she was already wearing.
I wish they remade the whole thing.-
The suit stupidity was just a retarded way of trying create a new excuse for the same old Metroid shit. Samus loses all her shit AGAIN, so you’re gated! The problem with stories is that devs keep trying to make us pay more attention to them, but it’s only exposing the age old issue of most dev teams not being able to write to a decent narrative to save their lives.

-
By your timeline, this should have had happened over 5 years ago and it hasn’t yet. I doubt it will.

Other M was a step in the right direction in terms of gameplay. Although playing with a sideways wiimote was a terrible idea, turning “2D Metroid” into a Ninja Gaiden esque action game makes sense. It’s thanks to the reception of this game that we’re stuck with Dread-likes forever.
-
>Other M was a step in the right direction in terms of gameplay
>point the wiimote to the screen and be immobile for missiles

if right means right over the fucking cliff then yes, definetly -

Good? I’m failing to see how this is a bad thing
-
-
Wind Waker has been loved for most of the time it’s been out you fucking mongoloid. The only backlash was the initial graphics change. Everyone loved it when they actually played it.
You’d know that if you weren’t a zoomer ding-dong BUTTHEAD.
-
Speak for yourself bro, I still hate the Wind Waker Toon Shit Style. Don’t like sailing and the re-release didn’t fix the game. It’s simply a very boring Zelda game that’s also too easy which is saying something because OoT was easy, so having Wind Waker be easier is just annoying.
-
Every word the truth. I remember being a kid and not being interested in WW at all because the artstyle was whack.
I got the Zelda collectors edition disk with my GC and loved that to finally get to play OoT and MM after my parents wouldn’t let me get a 64, eventually I played the WW demo and it was fun af. I got WW on sale and loved it.
The game itself is through and through a Zelda game and after people got to play it, it was well liked. It still got hit by Zelda cycle, but most of that was directed at the artstyle. It’s a classic now.
-
-
Disagree. I know people say that story does not matter in gaming, but Other M’s story still has Adam who is frankly Nintendo’s MOST UNLIKABLE CHARACTER EVER.
And the kicker? Nintendo’s intention is that we should see Adam as likable and even admirable. The man in cold blood like a sociopath murdered his own brother. They didn’t even show him hating that his family died, or even try to justify why he gave the order to have his brother killed. So we have to assume the worst about the character that he’s a horrible evil man and Samus’ worship of this bastard only makes him more annoying. So I disagree, no one will ever think of Other M as misunderstood because Adam is THAT unlikable also I think Dread made a huge mistake in bringing back Adam yet again. If Metroid is to continue as a series they need to forever drop Adam. He is shit.
-
I really wish Nintendo would remake Other M or reboot Adam’s character in another game.
In fact why don’t they get Mercurysteam to remake Other M?
-
-
Wind waker is a great game with some relatively minor issues that people latched onto because "NOT MUH SPACEWORLD TECH DEMO!"
Other M is an irredeemable piece of garbage whose best aspect is the gameplay, since it’s merely "bad" instead of the unmitigated abomination the rest of it is. -
No, those zoomers moved on to Pokemon and are trying to pass off Sun and Moon/Sword and Shield, other shitty visual novel games, as hidden gems.

>he doesn’t know about the localization butchering that destroyed subtle characterization and crippled the narrative strength of the story
>he hasn’t revisited it even though he should have realized that prime was a false emotionless persona and samus can experience growth.Other M in it’s original form was good and I’m not going to act like it isn’t. you will learn this soon enough and apologize to Sakamoto
-
Did the localization somehow make the gameplay worse?
-
> you will learn this soon enough
When it gets ported to Switch before Prime games do?
-
-
-
It already (kind of) happened:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=KTuMfsWwd0EI just got this video recommended as well, it mostly focuses on how botched the localization was, and yeah the change in story beats and dialogue can be pretty stark.
Something I thought was that even if the story was botched by the translation, that was kind of a big oversight on Sakamoto’s part, being that
> Japanese can be notoriously hard to translate faithfully
> The story is a huge element of the game AND the biggest market for the franchise is the english-speaking world, so you’d think he would try to work closely with the localization team to make sure it checked outIt’s still a bad game at the end of the day, but I do wonder how general opinions on the game would’ve changed had the story and characters remained the same across regions. Probably not much.
-
I think he did work closely but somehow a lot of subtlety was missed. Samus’s character went from rebellious and childish (which overcoming was the core theme of the story in general) in the japanese version to suck up adam obsessed in the localization. as well as adam going from reasonable and mysterious to aggressively authoritarian. I feel like the infamous ridley scene would have made so much more sense if Samus’s character and themes were still consistent but the damage is done. I think it’ll take some time for people to see it in a better light now that the new translation is out there. but it’s still pretty dumb regardless.
-
-
-
its fucking retarded and always will be retarded that samus just doesnt use all her moves until authorized, no fucking exploration bonus other than missile/energy tank and actual items are a cutscene where samus looks like shes in peril and then adam says "ok u can use it now"
its fucking retarded -

Other m is so painfully mediocre with a bad story to boot that it just isn’t gonna happen
-
The game is underrated as hell and it’s only hated because of the fucktard script and because it uses horizontal wii remote
Release that shit on a proper system with proper controls, add a goddamn fucking dodge button instead of that auto dodge shit because you’ll always be using the pdad unless you’re in 1st person mode and there, you’ve got a good game
>b-b-b-but it’s linear cancer shit!!!
Yes, and that sucks. But that didn’t stop massive fucking faggots from praising fusion and dread -
People literally just hated wind water because of the art style, never gave it a chance until 10 years later. Other m is a bad video game
-
Windwaker and Sunshine were classics though
-
Would have happened by now. Hasn’t happened. Isn’t going to happen. Sunshine and Wind Waker had detractors at release, but quickly won most of them over. More Mario 64 and an art style that still holds up are far better than whatever Other M offers. If anything Dread highlights all the missed potential Other M possessed. I think of Super Metroid was as prominent then as it is now (closed the show for GDQ for how many years?) I think the level of movement people were looking for would have influenced Other M.
-
>What about The Metroid?
>Metroids are extinct.
>The other M -
There is a decent game buried underneath Other M, but it’s like they made every possible terrible decision they could that compounds into an incredibly mediocre to downright shitty at times game.
Insisting on NES controls makes the game braindead. Pixel hunting was garbage. Slowly walking with the over-the-shoulder camera wasn’t fun. The whole game was incredibly linear and having your power-ups enabled for you makes you feel like a child.
It’s a shame too because Samus is acrobatic as fuck and feels great. I’m glad Dread manages to make Samus feel good to use, but unfortunately Other M basically killed any hope for a 3D Metroid that isn’t Prime.
-
They actually were trying something cool it just fails.
-
It was a fun game, but bad Metroid game. And even worse story and Samus portrayal.
-
>Same shit happened with Wind Waker and Sunshine.
Zoomers were still in kindergarten when public opinion of those changed. -
When is other M set anyway? between super and fusion?
-
Between 1 and 2. But it sets up shit in such a way that 2 3 4 and all three Primes couldn’t happen. It’s so bad it destroyed the whole franchise
-
>between 1 and 2
>but she keeps going on about THE BABY that she recovered at the end of 2
??-
My mistake haven’t thought of it in years. It’s between 2 and 3. That’s how it fucks up the timeline
-
-
-
-
As an old man who played all of these at release, I can confirm Sunshine and WW were always good. Other M was always shut.
-
Sunshine is good so long as you do absolutely nothing that isn’t strictly required for beating the game. Blue coins, postgame and secrets are average to horrible.
-
-
I liked how it played. Didn’t enjoy the story, or forced adam unlocks but when can you do. If I had my way it would just be on a planet, controls included and adding in the counter mechanic
-
Already is happening. Gamexplain (or I like to call them, gayexplain) did a recent review of Other M:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu3ylMzq5RI
The reviewer is a cuck that goes "muh sexism!" but even still, the amount of Other M defenders it cropped up is staggering.
-
Star fox has been getting a growing amount of defenders of post star fox 64 games as well despite them sucking. Give it a few more years and no one will care about other m again

>Made by Team Ninja just after a huge lawsuit that resulted in its best director and team of designers to fuck off Koei Tecmo

Also, no Keiji Yamamoto doing the score. We just got some generic composer that did boring anime shit.
-
Just why exactly did he feel a game like other m had to be made in the first place? Why not make it 2D or have the story be something else and placed anywhere else besides between super and fusion?
-
>have the story be something else
I mean, the question of ‘why isn’t it just good’ isn’t something you can answer. I’m sure people thought it was good when they were proof-reading, it for some reason. I don’t know why they chose that particular timeframe, I don’t think there was any deeper thought to it other than ‘this seems like a nice spot in the timeline.’
According to an interview Sakamoto had with IGN, the reasoning behind the story in particular was because he felt that many players had developed their own ideas of what Samus’ character was after Prime and he wanted to release a game that would clarify it and make her ‘consistent for future titles.’ He essentially wanted to write the definitive Samus that all games afterward would align with. And to be fair to the man, he character is consistent to what we saw in the canon manga (to the point where it straight up steals her having a panic attack upon seeing Ridley,) but the issue is that Samus was fourteen in the manga, and in her late twenties in Other M, so keeping her the same makes no sense.
Making it 3d was just an extenstion of that; of Sakamoto wanting to connect the games to the Prime series playerbase that he wanted to sell the character to.

It is a good game, but it’s more of a spinoff than a main series game. You stay most of the game shooting water at things, sliding around and hovering rather than just jumping around. The lack of a long jump completely fucks the game.>Wind Waker
Nah, this one was always average at most. The challenge is completely nonexistent, you waste hours just sailing around the literally empty map, there’s no underwater sections even though 90% of the map is fucking water, the triforce hunt is an absolute waste of fucking time, it only has a handful of dungeons and fucking 2 of them are entire escort missions. It’s a charming game, sure, but it still is one of the worst games in the franchise.-
sure but they both filled weekends when I was younger and I dont regret a single minute I spent playing them.

THERE ARE ALWAYS A SHITLOAD OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE EVERY GAME, EVEN GAMES YOU HATE, SO ONCE THEY BECOME OLD ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER pooping ON THEM CONSTANTLY, THOSE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY LOVE IT UNINTERRUPTED

You guys remember that subplot about there being a traitor in the squad, to the point where you actually fight him one on one, that was entirely forgotten and never elaborated on; forcing the writer to reveal their identity in a book months later?
-
It was there to make Samus think Adam and Anthony were bad guys.
James was obviously the deleter, who else was it supposed to be? the guy who was dropped into a lava pool?-
I mean, yeah? Never read "And then they were none"?
-
-
-
As bad as Other M was, I still don’t think that a story driven Metroid game is that bad of an idea; and I kind of resent that the game basically killed any chance of us ever getting a good one. The Metroid universe has a handful of unique elements that I wouldn’t be against looking at further. With this and Federation Force, Metroid has kind of been locked into its role of ‘pure Metroidvania.’ Which isn’t bad, of course, Dread showed us that Metroid works best as a pure Metroidvania, carried solely by its gameplay (big surprise) and if every game matches that quality, I’ll buy every one, but there’s always going to be a part of me that wonders what could have been. If we could have had the best of both worlds.
-
> “stupid kids like games they grew up with! Why don’t they like the games I grew up with?”
Quality is entirely subjective video essays and reviews are just people trying and failing to make logical post hoc rationalizations for an experience entirely emotional in nature. -
This is probably unpopular but I actually liked the concept of a more story based Metroid game. There’s a lot of untapped potential (galactic federation, chozo, aliens) that doesn’t get explained often. Plus Samus getting some development beyond a space warrior was nice to see. Too bad the game’s writing is terrible though, it could’ve been decent.
