Title: General Metroid Discussion Thread
Post by: Lelygax on September 08, 2012, 02:28:54 PM
Lets talk about any Metroid game here. What you like about it? What you dislike? What is your favorite? etc.

I still love Metroid on the SNES and the Fusion one on the GBA. When I first played Fusion on a DS, I was absolutely floored by how amazing the game really looked. Looking on it through an original GBA and then that blue flip-top didn't do it justice. I only had the GC GBA attachment-thingy for about a week before it got stolen so I never even got to test it out on Fusion. But that was an amazing game and I only wish there were more Metroids made with the same care as Fusion was.

Another reason I liked Fusion was due to the SA-X. It was nice, for one of the FEW times in the series, to know just exactly what had happened to all that bad-ass gear I had earned in previous games. And the SA-X having Super Metroid Samus' gear vs just you in your lowly Metroid-hybrid suit made for some really tense moments when that little fucker would pop up out of nowhere and slowly stalk around the room, searching for you. Rarely does a Metroid make you shit your pants like that. Plus you got a really nice boss-fight vs the SA-X with all your old swag still on it, so that was an extra plus.

If I'm not mistaken, the SA-X still had the Spaser Ice beam, the Super Missile, the Screw Attack, and the power bombs?

Metroid is one of my favorite series.  Nearly every game is great.  It took me awhile to get into Prime, but once I had the chance to play through it on my own and at my own pace, I really fell in love with it.  Obviously the first Metroid/Zero Mission, Super Metroid, and Fusion are all really great games.

And then there's Other M.  What a horrible blight on the series.  I really hate that game.  The name is stupid.  The overly dramatic story is stupid.  The animation is goofy.  The combat feels too loose.  The voice acting is lame.  The concept is a needless re-treat of Fusion.  Can we forget about the rest of the series in this thread and just focus on how awful Other M is?

Or we can just forget about Other M and move on to future possibilities.
So how would games set after Fusion work? With Samus now being part-metroid in a sense and a wanted criminal to boot, how do you think the story would play out?

If you want that, go on lol
Thats a general thread, we can focus in one thing at time or change the subject, since it still focuses about Metroid games.
Yeah, the game feels much like a 3D Fusion, but I think that the gameplay mechanics, if polished (like no recharge button and no invencible dodge), could be the most close thing like the classics, but in 3D. I liked the Prime titles, but to me it feels very different than the classic ones.

Loved the Metroid series. Nothing quite like it anywhere. I first started off with Metroid II back in the day. Then went to Super Metroid which was a phenomenal game and to me it's still the best in the whole series; Hands down! Then I finally tried the original Metroid. Metroid's Prime and Fusion came out at around the same time so I got to play both. Fusion I felt was a little behind Super Metroid. It was wonderful to play the squeal to the greatest SNES title of it's time and it was a long wait. But I felt it just wasn't up to par with it's predecessor. That and collecting items with your speed booster/shine spark was more forced on you then in Super. Hopefully they won't do that again. But they did with Metroid Zero Mission. Not a good idea! ZM was also interesting as it added more to the original game. I've also played Metroid's Prime 2 and 3 but I still have yet to finish 3. I never did fully play MP Hunter as the control scheme is just far too scatter. It's all over the place for me to properly get engaged in the game. IMO MP Hunter should've been on a console rather then a portable. It would make playing it much easier. About Metroid: Other M. I personally like the game. It ties the events of Super and Fusion nicely. But the real things that do irk me is that Samus was made a little bit more helpless then she should've been. In the other games there was no man around to protect the helpless woman because Samus is far from being the helpless woman. Samus is a warrior woman and they don't need a man to get in their way believing them to be helpless. It's just NOT DONE. Other things like Samus' suit not changing to look like the Varia or colored to look like the gravity suit kind bother's me. They could have had more items to collect rather then just following orders to activate them when called for. Perhaps the biggest deal was the fact that there was a lot of harping in the story. The Japanese seem to have this obsession to repeat the same things in a different context over and over again. This is not good writing skills at work, they're bad ones. If you heard a line once then leave it be. Don't drag the point on and on. Also I found Samus' narration's in some instances to be useless rather then important. A narration should be to help propel the story along and in essence that's what it did in this game, but there were also some lines that were not needed. This was something I also noticed as a problem in MGS4.
The one thing that I thought was epic was the Ridley intro scene and duel in the magma chamber. Since Samus has PTSD it was necessary to show it. The fact that Ridley came back from the grave to menace Samus once more pushed her mind to the breaking point. But then she quickly recovered and got back in the fight. Ridley's battle theme was also another highpoint about this game. Unlike the Prime games where Ridley's theme seemed to be lacking many things, Other M's version was packed with power! It was and is to date IMO the best boss theme to come out of any Metroid game. And Ridley himself I found was far more menacing and brutal then his Prime (Meta-Ridley) counterpart. All in all, I love this series. And I do find it interesting that the way the series has unfolded throughout is games seems to mirror the Alien movies. And I love those too!

Don't forget that you're comparing the SNES's capabilities to the GBA's capabilities so naturally the GBA would be inferior. That aside, I think that game was a great example of how much the GBA could be flexed.

I'm pretty certain that Sector 1 (SRX) in Metroid Fusion is as close as I'll ever get to a legitimate remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus. -sigh-

I was really hoping for a two-dimensional DS title (of any kind at this point).

I think we can all agree Sakamoto is a terrible writer and should never be allowed near a Metroid script ever again.

But I thought the gameplay was solid. I mean, it's a 3D metroid game that controls with the equivalent of an NES controller. Theres something to be said for that.

It LOOKED great, gorgeous even, and I thought the new gameplay was fresh and interesting. It DID suffer from linearity, but it was enjoyable anyway.

Also, imma just drop these two here since they are awesome

Here's a good insight as to what Other M's problem where in terms of Samus' characterization and such.

I read it all, good article, interesting that they dont even mentioned the trauma of Samus losing her "adoptive baby metroid". They have very good points, but they only focused where they can argue. Yes, Sakamoto made various mistakes, but they talk like the entire story is a shit and thats not true.
Title: Re: General Metroid Discussion Thread
Post by: X on September 10, 2012, 10:58:43 AM
Just read the article too and I am deeply concerned. It's like Yoshio Sakamoto has some serious personal issues that should be dealt with before Nintendo allows him to make another Metroid story-driven game. This is not how I saw the Adam/Samus relationship at all in Fusion. It was clear-cut in Fusion. Simplistic and it worked at establishing both character's relationships in the past prior to Fusion. Instead I am now slightly disturbed at Sakamoto's intentions towards Samus' future character development. Samus is a warrior woman and that was established a long time ago. How Sakamoto steered away from this is sick. And not the good kind of sick either. But why is Yoshio Sakamoto credited with creating the Metroid series when I was always hearing about Gunpei Yokoi? I thought he brought about Metroid.
Title: Re: General Metroid Discussion Thread
Post by: Lelygax on September 10, 2012, 03:15:22 PM
Thats should be because Gunpei Yokoi is dead, he never have the chance to see Super Metroid IIRC. Since SM is regarded as the best one for the majority of the fans I think thats why, sad that they treat the dead this way, Gunpei must be power-bombing in his coffin after they did that with her.

It's also not false. A person's thoughts on how good the story objectively is is still just opinion.
Title: Re: General Metroid Discussion Thread
Post by: Lelygax on September 10, 2012, 05:35:20 PM
Certainly because of that its also not true too. In the moment that one single good thing appears in the story it becomes a not completely shit one. It can still be a shit tough, but not completely. As they thought to expose their arguments there in they site Im exposing here what I think too, I never said that Im the owner of the only truth. There exists "truths" and the "real truths", mine being only a truth, with means that my truth doesnt necessarilly needs to be the truth to others. (Crazy stuff from this philosophers lol)

I agree. Would be great to at least rewrite the entire script so it actually makes sense and fits with the rest of the series. Honestly, if this was an attempt to show Samus' softer side, what we got was more like a jiggly, semi-melted jello side.
Title: Re: General Metroid Discussion Thread
Post by: X on September 11, 2012, 09:16:06 AM
On a lighter note, I gave those two Metroid fan games a try and I have to say I was very impressed! The game engine is solid, the controls are responsive and everything else works out well. These guys know what they're doing (Hands down!) The Metroid 2 demo is just as impressive and it's only a demo! Great work on those two games. While short, they were very good. The only issue I'm seeing is with the Alpha Metroid. It's far stronger then it should be. But not because it takes more hits to kill then it's GB counterpart but the fact that it has armor plating. I am aware that the official art shows them with armor plating however this doesn't mean that it is effective in stopping missile attacks right off the bat. After all, Alpha Metroids are recent evolvers from their Larva stages so in that light their armor should not be as effective as this fan demo has made it out to be. I will understand if they choose to armor up the Gamma Metroids as they are stronger then the Alpha. But the Alphas should remain as they were in the GB version.
Title: Re: General Metroid Discussion Thread
Post by: Lelygax on September 11, 2012, 10:51:59 AM
The Demo is correct about Alpha Metroids, the only weak spot is the core, we should be thankful that we dont need to freeze them like the giant larvas. But yes, he said that he will make the first fight a bit more easier and the difficulty will progress naturally in the game.

Y'know, one complaint I have with other M's gameplay is this: When time comes to finish off the Metroid Queen, The game fails to tell you power bombs have been activated. EVERY OTHER POWER UP cuts to the pause screen to show you that that item has been unlocked. But the power bombs dont, and so Its easy to just die inside the stomach of the beast because you didnt know.

You here sir, is saying the truth. I did used it in the instant that I entered in the Metroid Queen, but I only knew that it will work because I played Metroid II, and in this game you can use normal bombs inside the Queen to do massive damage, so I tried to do that, but since its not being the sufficient I tried to use the Power Bomb.

Same here. I was so ticked off I couldn't figure it out that I had to stop my game and look up a walkthrough. In fact there were several instances where I had to stop playing and look it up because I was just not getting it. Even when I thought I had tried everything there was always something else that I hadn't thought to try.

It annoyed me in so many levels, in the beggining I even thought that its a problem with my game, but no, its only a very very tiny spot in the screen that I needed to lock-on. This part would atleast not be so annoying if you could actually walk, like in these new Batman games when you need to search some clues.

Post by: darkwzrd4 on September 12, 2012, 10:50:24 AM
I liked Other M, but from a gameplay perspective.  The script was shit in every sense of the word.  All Samus did was monologue about the past.  While it was nice to give her an actual voice, her Fusion script was much better.  I could buy her being frozen in fear when she is confronted by Ridley, but that's to be expected considering that he killed her parents when she was a young child.  But that's it!  The rest of the time she should have been strong, but instead was weak. 

I get her thinking about the final battle of Super Metroid (the first time only) at the start of the game.  It gives us a clue as to when this game takes place in the series.  That's fine.  But to harp on it again and again, is just lazy and bad writing.  Even when she was thinking about what was going on, they writer could have made her sound stronger but making her sound more cool headed and calculating.  That would fit the hardened bounty hunter personality that she had in past games.  Look at Metroid Fusion.  They captured that perfectly.

The only times in which her being weak/soft are acceptable are at the start of the Ridley battle when she is frozen in fear and when Adam sacrifices himself.  That's it.

In comparison with the Prime games, I feel that Other M from a gameplay perspective is better.  I feel that the series is meant to be from a third-person perspective.  Then again, I hate FPS games.

Post by: Inccubus on September 12, 2012, 12:01:06 PM
I was never a fan of FPS. In fact the only ones I ever played that I really liked was the MP series. Having played them on Wii I can say for sure the reason I didn't like FPS games in the past was because of the controls. Motion controls are definitely far better suited to this particular genre.
Title: Re: General Metroid Discussion Thread
Post by: Flame on September 12, 2012, 02:17:36 PM
The guy in that review brought up a good point that I never considered before, but does solidify that the bigger problem in this script is simply bad writing, is that while it is perfectly acceptable and within character for Samus to freak out at Ridley's appearance, even if we disregard the Primes, she has fought him thrice already, four even, if you count Mecha Ridley.

SO for her to get a PTSD attack this late in the game, if you'll pardon the pun- when she has faced down her root cause and utterly annihilated it several times, doesnt make TOO much sense. At least not THIS bad.

I mean, I would normally make the argument that she was surprised to see him back after Zebes was destroyed, and that seeing him rise almost literally from out of the flames of hell, (must say, the location of the battle, and the way Ridley shows up for it was straight up gold) triggered memories of the massacre she witnessed as a child, but... again, she has faced down her demon numerous times already, and even seemingly dealt with it for good the FIRST time she defeated him, in the metroid manga. I get that in keeping with the idea of a narrative driven Metroid game they really wanted to allude to the Manga and Samus issue with Ridley, but it feels like it was a little bit late in the series to try that. At least a better explanation or better scenario, better explanation, (Ridley initially doesnt affect her but suddenly she begins to have flashbacks about the massacre of the colony, what witht he fire and smoke and all that shit and she falters... that sort of thing) would have worked better.

Oh Also.

"Zebesian".

No, that is not a Zebesian, Samus. That is a Zebesian Space Pirate maybe, but not a "Zebesian".

Back to the manga, and Adam for a bit also- Thats another thing the manga seems to have done better. The portrayal of Adam.

I think a part of the problem with Other M is that Sakamoto was keeping the development of the game to how he wanted it to be at all costs. He recognized the problems with the control scheme, but kept it anyway. He directed the localization, even though he wasn't a native English speaker, in particular for Samus's dull voice in an attempt for the "worn down veteran" characterization, and I think we all know about the story, which feels like either no one proofread it or he ignored the criticisms if it had been proofread.

Yeah.  The gameplay was great, but the script sucked.  All Samus does is brood over the past.  It just made her seem weak and flat.  She is suppose to be a hardened bounty hunter; not some whinny, weak, broody, bitch.  I can see her thinking back on the battle with Mother Brain and the death of "the baby" in the opening cutscene.  I can also see her being frozen in fear when she encounters Ridley.  After all, she killed him on Zebes and yet, here he is in a dark room and the only light is coming from the magma filling the room.  It's like a monster came from your past rose from the dead.  One that won't stay dead.  Plus, he killed her parents.  It's understandable that she would freeze up like that.  And, I can see her getting emotional when Adam goes to sacrifice himself.   But, other than those 3 times, she should have been firm and maybe a little detached emotionally.

WTF? He didnt even is angry about that? I remembered of it now, and thinking about that we have 2 Samus in this game, not 1. We have a "robot" Samus without feelings and we have a "Mother" Samus, thats fragile because the baby is killed.

Edit other m was not that bad , but this time i would say that I understand the complaints from fellow fans. If the story were origin based like it was her very first time I think it would be understandable, but it's right after super metroid three games after Samus fought all these guys and pounded them into plasma heck.

Couldn't you just download the soundtrack? That's what I did. I've also gotten a hold of some midi versions which are also quite good. 'Video Game Music archives' if you're interested. However if you are feeling really industrious then you can simply record the tune from a GBA emulator.
