I don't get why people are going "oh look people are whining about other M again." It's a topic on the new retsupurae video. We make one of those every time they have a new video and this time it happens to be Metroid. Like literally every video. We had topics for f****** Darkseed II.

You don't get to tell me my hate is overblown when you clearly weren't a fan like I am.
Fusion and Zero Mission, even Hunters, were the arguable 'bad games in a good series'
and I'm not much of a fan of the Primes.
so basically

"I'M A TRUE FAN, I LIKE SUPER METROID AND ONLY SUPER METROID

YOU PEOPLE THAT LIKE MORE THAN JUST SUPER METROID AREN'T TRUE METROID FANS"


what a ****ing joke


Someone didn't read my post. Super Metroid is the best game of all time, and in ranking the actual series I'd honestly go Super Metroid>Metroid Fusion>Zero Mission>Main Prime Series in order>Return of Samus>Metroid>Hunters>Punching myself in the nuts>Other M

It's almost unfair that Fusion has to compete with Super Metroid because they moved too far away from what made Super Metroid amazing. I still loved the atmosphere and the idea of the BSI station. Fusion is like a 9/10 game for me because unlike Prime it didn't go first person. But I can acknowledge that Prime being first-person is a personal complaint of mine and they're actually good games, and that Fusion is disliked by many as evidenced in this topic. I don't 'only like Super Metroid'. Super Metroid is just far and away my favorite.

More like 99% hated it rightly to 1% in favor, and the 1 probably hated Super Metroid so they were never a fan to begin with


Ok. "Half" might be a little high. But it's more than 1%. I can tell you that much.

Plus, the people who dislike the game tend to be more vocal, so you don't always hear about the people who like/didn't mind it. You have to account for that.


Most likely it's greater than half, even.

For instance: http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/960554-metroid-other-m

Now 7.6 might not be a great score, particularly for inflated video game values and in the context of the series it belongs to. But nobody is calling that bad. And frankly, if 99% of the people who played it hated it... Don't you think that score would be a bit lower?

Vocal minorities, how do they work.

I'm really not a Metroid fan so I might be missing something about this, but I really don't see the issue in having fun making fun of something you don't like. I get "Don't get mad at video games because seriously who cares" but ridiculing a game isn't being mad at it. It's...having fun making fun of it.

Probably the best "getting anywhere" kind of topic is one that expands knowledge. There ARE some topics that are worth it. But let's be honest, most of the stuff here is ultimately pointless outside of this board.

And yeah. I don't make that many "greater good" topics. But I do try coming up with different things to talk about. I think. :/

My point is best summed up by Tycho from Penny Arcade's recent comments regarding the discussion surrounding Mass Effect 3's ending.

Creating or critiquing is just a way to pass the time until you die.

People complain about Other M not to get anywhere, because there's nowhere complaining about a finished work can get you. They do it just because that is what they feel like doing with their time. Just like none of you who complain about "beating a dead horse" are getting anywhere by complaining about it.

And that's a good point.
What I'm saying is that the critique of this particular game has been done to death, and nothing good can come of it.
The subject of "beating a dead horse" isn't as old as Other M hate. Though, I can see what you mean about it being pointless.

Check out the topic title. That's why this is THIS thread again and not just a "hey there's a new retsupurae about Metroid Other M" thread.

It also ties in to another problem I have with stuff like this: not allowing people to form their own opinions. Believe it or not, opinions are shaped by hearing what other people think. Subconsciously or otherwise, people have a tendency to conform. And the constant hearing about how bad (or good!) something is has a tendency to bias opinions. Now I'm not saying don't say what you think of something. I'm more complaining about an unfortunate side effect.

Well, I'm through part 6 so far and all I can say about it so far is that I don't think people are blowing Other M out of proportion enough. I was going into this expecting it to be terrible, so I figured I'd probably be thinking "hey this game didn't look as stupid as I was expecting." No, it was way, way worse than I thought it would be. I'm kind of surprised people are defending to this game to be honest.
