Metroid Prime: Other M. If the next Zelda game turns out to be terrible I think I'm just going to stop buying nintendo games.
How was Metroid: The Other M, I've seen a ton of mixed reviews, some saying great, others saying crap.
It sucks if you're a Samus fan, but if you just like gameplay you're good to go
Except the gameplay isn't even very good because they removed all the elements that were the trademarks of the series and pretty much made the game a shallow, bland action game with mediocre overly easy gameplay that held your hand so hard you'd think you had to wear a helmet to the playground.
Were we playing different games? I liked the gameplay... Or maybe the story was so bad it tricked me into liking the gameplay...
I honestly have no clue how you could be a fan of metroid and like a game that focuses on the combat, removes the exploration, music and atmosphere, while keeping the combat extremely shallow and pointless because the dodging requires no timing or percision and you can recover your health and missiles at almost any time, health requiring you to be at low health to do. This is so easy that even the game's "hard mode" isn't hard at all, hard mode for the record just removes all upgrades. Oh and they also made missiles useless pretty much because switching to first person is just so bloody unintuitive. Also auto aiming and poor hit detection. Unless you were never a fan of metroid which explains things and why you'd like a game that turns a once unique and interesting series into a shitty generic action game, unless you're one of those fanboys who praises any game and ignores any flaws which also explains things but in a different fashion.
