Samus siempre fue como la muestran en Metroid other M, que los demas la hayan visto como una maquina de guerra sin emociones es problema de los fans, pero no es asi, si lo fuera no habria dejado vivir al primer metroid que se encontro.

Other M is the Twilight of video games.
Except that metaphor doesn't really work, because then there would have to have been installments of Twilight made before the real ones where Edward originally was a freaking awesome vampire who doesn't ever go into the sun period, and Bella is only mentioned and implied to be a likable character.

That... is a terrifyingly accurate analogy.

i still do not understand why Samus Aran should be so devastated by the baby metroid's death.
to be fair, it was quite of a tear jerker that the last one of a species Samus spent most of her time exterminating ironically sacrificed its life for her, that would probably shake Samus, but it was a metroid, nothing more than an animal, if she mourned it in the way you mourn when you lose a pet, that would have been ok, but grieving as if she lost a son, that was from the writers like using a jackhammer where you needed a scalpel.

The gameplay was alright for me. The story didn't bother me until Commander Whatshisface wouldn't let me use a fireproof suit in the lava area. I can understand taking away my nukes, but come on!

To be honest some times i prefer the main character not to have a personality, the "silent strong" type. The Prime series is my favorite series of games, after all the years i've been playing and the variety of games, thats quite a thing.

Ugh... Troll picture is trollin' hard. Just cuz she was actually given an actual personality, makes her a defenseless wuss? I for one, unlike everybody else and IGNnorant, loved the game. D:

Read it and weep.
She wasn't given a personality at all. She was made entirely emotionally dependent on a male character - She wasn't given a personality, all she was given was "Adam says THIS. Adam says THAT" (not a personality) and Adam didn't even give two shits about her.

Meh... That won't change me being a fan of the series. And if you played fusion, that's pretty much how she thought in fusion, except in much more detail.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I played it a long time ago, I don't really remember.
Yeah, the difference is that in fusion she could actually make a decision for herself without being shot in the fucking back for it.
Lesson #1 in any healthy relationship of any kind: The person you love does not shoot you. They do not recklessly endanger you for no reason. They don't treat you like shit for being independent.

*nods* Fusion is my fav handheld metroid game, with the return of samus being my second. And I agree. I only commend the game for the story. What I was getting at was how every body was bitching about her getting a personality not based on fans PERIOD. It's not like this whole game changes every other DVD and cart based metroid game on the planet, does it? I think of her as caring, daring, and a strong woman, with other M showing her in her younger years, where she is a little younger and more prone to stupid decisions.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It isn't in her younger years at all! The game takes place after several Metroid games.
And even if it was during her younger years, there's a difference between showing her as a young rebel and purely infantilizing her into a 1950s sexist caricature throughout the entire fucking game. The entire story is basically "Oh, the woman wants to be strong and independent? Nope, she can't survive without a man telling her what to do every step of the way because women are stupid and weak willed. Oh, and they actually like it when men treat them like shit. Domestic abuse? No such thing! Did we mention Samus is a girl?"
I've met women who have been victims of both physical and emotional abuse so the story just plain fucking disgusts me. How fucking DARE anybody treat the relationship between Samus and Adam int his game as something to look up to?
When the story is more degrading than most porn fanfiction you have a fucking problem. At least in the hentai Samus can actually think for herself instead of breaking down into little girl sobs just because Adam isn't there to remind her what pair of genitals she was born with every five minutes.

Idk... Maybe this is one of her psycho breaks... She's been alone for a while so I guess seeing Adam makes her all awk... I have no idea... Still love the game though. Maybe it's like seeing a long lost family member but why would you want to see a family member... No idea, man...

The gameplay is different, it can work fine. However no matter how good the gameplay is, I refuse to give Team Ninja any of my feminist money.

Guessing you're no fan of the dead or alive series. XD

I don't care if they make great games in terms of gameplay, I refuse to support sexism in any way.

The personality that she has in Other M is the one they intended for her from the very beginning, and is slightly shown in Fusion as well, so I definately agree, Other M was a great game
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, I do agree that the story was lacking and the sexism and relationship between Adam and Samus was kinda messed but, but I focused more on the gameplay. For a metroid story, it was all right; could have been better. I still loved the game though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I liked the game in general, thought the story was better than many I have senn, but, as you said, good gameplay. What did you think about the new moves she could pull of against enemies?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fan-fricken-TASTIC! Loved beating up enemies! They were so simple to pull of, too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, yes, was fun when I met the first Space pirates, I jumped on one, shot, landed on the next, shot, and so on XD too bad they fled when I had taken some, else I might have gotten them all without touching the floor

Apart from the fact that the part of the story that included a traitor was forgotten about. =L

Part? That was quite apparent for most of the game, although it took me a while to realize who it was though

Amazing!
You captured the entire thing perfectly! xD

I laughed, but I think for the wrong reason. Call this one a tie.

Well, now I wanna know what you laughed about XD

This just shows that you have no understanding of the canon, why don't you go back to those poorly written Prime games.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Come on, it's just a joke, no reason to be offended.
Also, I couldn't give less of a shit about the canon XD
But just for curiosity's sake, how exactly does my lack of knowledge show in this? (and yeah, I'm perfectly aware of how pretentious that must sound)

Pseudo-SA-X
Why does her suit come off when Samus is escaping inside her spaceship?
Sakamoto
For Samus's suit to appear, considerable powers of concentration are necessary. In short, it was too constraining. It's the same as a salary man loosening his necktie when returning from a business trip on the bullet train.
Mimicchi
Isn't Samus's powered suit integrated with her whole body? After you destroy Mother Brain, and on the way back pursued by space pirates, Zebes is falling apart. Why does she lose her suit when it should be integrated with her. That's my first question. Thank you very much!
Sakamoto
For Samus to remain connected with the Power Suit requires mental energy unfathomable to an ordinary person. In situations like this when she is under pressure, indeed, even Samus is unable to concentrate her mental energy. However, when Samus completes the trial of the spirit of the mural (God of War), she regains her strong force of will and can successfully integrate with the Legendary Power Suit.
That along with the manga being treated as partially canon, both Samus' and Adam's actions make sense. Adam knows how Samus dells with her problems and understand that putting more stress on her with in the current situation would have been a horrible idea as it would make her mental state worse. That basically covers two of the main problems people have with the game's story.

Here you go.
Adam's relationship with Samus was nothing short of abusive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Except the link you gave is full of ****. Nothing Adam does in Other M is abusive, nothing. Samus' suit puts stress on her mind and the effect is amplified by having by having more functions active. Adam knows this and knows that Samus was suffering mentally at the time.
Plus, Samus is only in three life treating and thous were because of who she was fighting not her environment. And in all three of those happen after Adam stops giving her orders.

Yes because shooting someone is a perfect symptom of a healthy and perfectly normal relationship.

You're taking it out of context.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It doesn't matter what context it is, unless it's self-defense, shooting someone will get your ass handed to you in jail. It is never acceptable in anything outside of self-defense. No excuse outside of that will ever hold up in court. You do not shoot people you love. You do not hurt people you love. You do not unnecessarily endanger people you love. EVER
It doesn't matter if it's the same stupid "I was protecting her!" bullshit that Twilight fans use to justify Edward's obvious abusive relationship with Bella. If my boyfriend decides he wants to join the military and put himself in high danger, that doesn't give me the right to fucking shoot him in the back.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
BS, the context makes very justifiable as stuff like that actually happens in real life.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it does happen in real life. It's called domestic fucking abuse.

No, soldiers have to subdue their fellow soldiers in the field. You're attitude on this subject is respectful to those people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm pretty sure there's a difference between that and shooting them when there are enemies around.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Any time a person, be they a cop, solider or w/e has been forced physically pacify other people counts. What Adam did was no different form tazing somebody.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's a huge difference between tazing somebody and shooting them when there are alien monsters around.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really, most tazing is done by shooting somebody. More importantly, Adam was trying to incapacitate Samus not to hurt her but to prevent her from hurting herself.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tazing is rarely lethal. Shooting someone often is. Guns were meant to kill, tasers were not.
Secondly, Samus could have been freaking killed anyway considering there were metroids around.
Thirdly, "protecting someone" is not any excuse. It's the same bullshit excuse twilight fans use when trying to defend Edward's abusive behavior. Hell, it's the same dang excuse abusive men use to defend their abuse. If my boyfriend decides he wants to join the military and thus be put in very heavy danger, that doesn't give me the right to fucking shoot him and/or lock him up somewhere. In the end it comes to respecting the person and their decisions. You can be vocal about your opinion, but when it comes down to physical force it is inexcusable.
