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.

GuessMyUserName posted... From: Robazoid | Posted: 3/17/2012 6:24:34 AM | #023 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.

Let's be fair here, anyone that hates a VIDEO GAMEto the point of openly ridiculing it from behind a wall of anonymity is kind of a loser. It's not as if a game being bad has any bearing on your life, just play something different and quit getting mad at video games.
From: Ace_Killjoy | #259 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.
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.

So if we're not allowed to voice negative opinions about video games on a video game social message board then what, exactly, is the purpose of this sort of forum.

There's nothing wrong with posting your negative opinions. But after a while of the same old thing, it gets ridiculous. Just about everyone already knows that many people didn't like this game.

Blowing things out of proportion is kind of a radical tactic when you have nothing else, you know. I never said you weren't allowed to post your opinion on things, but really now, the vocal bunch that have been bashing this mediocre game have been at it relentlessly since it came out.
You're so right Ace. It's not like an outside source that often gets posted about brought this up and instigated the discussion. Nope. We just decided to ***** some more with no provocation.

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.
nah, it's been pretty quiet about Other M for probably a few months now, and the only reason this even got started now was because someone said "hey there's a new retsupurae about Metroid Other M" and then people decided to come into the topic and go "augh not THIS topic again" even though that wasn't even the point of the topic

Hmm... I'm tempted to go ahead and say, "True."
I mean, if you want to keep complaining about it, that's all well and good. But it's not going to get you anywhere.

I'm beginning to think maybe we don't have conversations here to "get anywhere."
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.

Why aren't you seeing all of them? You missed the epic 200+ post debate where we solved world hunger and ended up finding the meaning of life. Man, to think Other M could have such good side effects.

Other M is filth. People that don't hate it should be ashamed of themselves. That is why we keep making these topics. To shame you.

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.
From: Robazoid | #023 Hell, Fusion and Zero Mission, even Hunters, were the arguable 'bad games in a good series', even if they were good and just bad by Super Metroid standards.
Zero Mission is better than Super Metroid, though. So you're wrong.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit and I've quite clearly gone insane as there's no sentence in this world that can contain the phrase 'is better than Super Metroid' without the person saying it clearly not existing
