    Other M was my first experience with a Metroid game. I have a feeling that this was a mistake... but it put me off the series.

    Yeah you should go play a real Metroid game. I suggest starting with Zero Mission.

    This means you own a Wii.

    The correct exposure is to dl Super Metroid and pretend this game never happened.

    If you have a device for GBA cartridges, Zero Mission is better (in the sense the map is nicer.)

    Ha ha. I don't own the Wii anymore. I hear that Super Metroid is swell? Perhaps I'll be able to download it on my 3DS in the near future.

    I didn't play Other M for very long, but I remember "This is the almighty Samus?"

    Okay, just what the fuck is going on here.

    How the hell does Samus manage to be like 2 feet taller then every woman in this game, yet still manage to be 2 feet shorter then all the men in the game?


    WTF?!

    Actually, she is SMALLER than the men.
    That's the thing. Samus is supposed to be REALLY FUCKING TALL but in this game, she is a tiny woman.

    Yeah, that was a typo on my behalf.

    It's like the universe is populated by midget women and giant men.

    Argh, this game pisses me off so much.

    Remember when this trailer first came out:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNxeCHpp08E

    and everyone was like 'OMFG THIS IS AWESOME!'

    Is it possible to go back in time and warn everyone?

    The worst part is that I remember in Prime when she sees Meta-Fucking-Ridley, she gets this look on her face like she wants to tear his head off.

    Dude, she's probably the most powerful being in this Universe.

    The only people who should be breaking down and crying are the ones who have to fight her.

    No. no this isn't the almighty Samus!

    Samus Aran destroys planets, exterminates entire species, sends the Space Pirates into a panic when they suspect she may be nearby and is so awesome people think that therefore she must about as real as Santa Claus because no actual living being could possibly be so awesome.

    So it's no surprise that Other M came as a bit of a disappointment to some people.

    Well, Samus has reasons to cry, hypothetically.

    After all "And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer."

    Replace conquer with explode, and it fits.

    The thing is that in the gameplay and some in-game cutscenes, Samus IS a badass.
    Just in the "cinematics" she is an utterly stupid waste of space!

    This is worse than I'd imagined. Although the gameplay looks neat.

    So much <3 for Klyka.

    Gameplay ++, but between this, and I've gone and looked at some other Other M stuff...oh. Good. Lord. Is it possible to play through the game (Because I want to) but with a mindblock so that when cutscenes come up that completely screw with Samus's nature they just disappear?

    I thought the way interaction with Samus was handled in Prime 3 was pretty good, this is *sigh* Granted I thought Metroid Fusion's handling was dumb too.

    I have to ask though...are the cutscenes skippable? Because that would make the game actually playable.

    But the cutscenes look so pretty. Why would anyone want to skip them?

    Because they SOUND like someone is putting cheese graters to your ears.

    The thing I find really baffling is the size of Samus's jugs. Maybe it's just the skintight outfit creating some kind of visual illusion, but those honkers are ridiculous even by video game standards.

    After examining her babies, I figure they're each about a third the size of her skull. Laura still has her beaten.

    *sniff*

    I miss the days when I didn't attribute a dull witted monotone about babies to Samus.

    And you still don't. You attribute them to Sheamus Aran.
