Topic	I remember when people really did not like Metroid Fusion SPOILERS
Wetterdew 08/06/21 7:24:47 PM #32:	It's fine to disagree but IMO Fusion's story is great, a nice new direction for the series. The X parasites are by far the most impressive and serious threat in any metroid game, so the stakes had never felt higher. They are both unknown and intelligent (as you find out). It gives a major purpose to the Chozo and to the metroids, and it shows that there were ramifications to killing all the metroids. The SA-X could have been a generic "dark" version of Samus (like in Metroid Prime 2 tbh..........) but it feels far more threatening and less video-gamey. More like genuine sci fi. The elevator internal monologues make sense to put in the game. X parasites that mimic her at her peak are scary in a way nothing else had ever been to her, it's very scary for her to have to face off against an x-copy of herself. Compared with a straightforward opponent like Mother Brain, the SA-X is something much more intimate that would arouse a lot of unease and introspection within her. "This thing crippled and almost killed you EASILY and now it's roaming around with all your powers, and it's intelligent." That's partly why it's worth adding the monologues, so we can understand how she's reacting to this unique threat. They're short and concise, unlike in Other M. They also helped tell a more involved story than in any previous metroid game. It's a 10/10 game --- Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:956846367] in I remember...
