#95748 My interpretation of Other M Spoilers

Posted by esper on 26 July 2012 - 05:03 AM in General Gaming

I recently beat Other M. After hearing about how horrible a game it is from the internet and then playing it myself, I fell as though I played an entierly different game. This is really bugging me so i'm putting my thoughts on it here. I can understand some complaints the game has. The game is incredably linear compared to preavious games. Getting upset over the cinematic style of the game I can understand. Having a franchise you grew up with get a sudden change in direction from past can get to you.(Glares at Xross Wars and Zexal :angry: ) But I liked it, the animations (attacs and finishers) were cool and the puzzles felt like past Metroids.

Now onto the story, this story seems to have been far more overanalyzed than it desreves it's just so cliche. The plot of the game the way I see it is this Samus interceps an emigancy signal and meets up with a Galactic Federation squad. From this we find out that Samus used to be in the federation. In this squad is Samus's former commander Adam and friend Anthony. Adam states that if Samus wants to join the mission that she has to follow his orders amd Samus must limit her use of weapons. Not so unreasonable this is a rescue mission so you't want any chance of your men or the people your here to rescue in any more danger. This also serves as a way to introduce the manditory power-ups to progress this has it's flaws like in the hell run. As things go a mystirous creature (which eventually becomes Ridely but i'll get to that later)show up and starts causing trouble and gets the other beasts rilled up. As you further explore the ship you see evidence of metroid victoms and members of the squard start dying. You eventually meet up with a blonde scientist who says that the Galactic Federation was using the ship to experement with biowaepons, super soilders, and an AI security system that was meant to controll them going haywire. She also tells you that one member of the squad is killing of the others. You eventually discover Sector Zero where Metroids have had there one weakness cold geneticaly removed. Adam jetisons Sector Zero allong with him self to make sure that thier destroid. As you head to the final area you encouter a red haired scientist who says that the Galactic Federation got Metroid DNA from the baby that they scraped off Samus. The only reason that the baby is mentioned is to get the Metroids back in the story. The red haired scientist goes on to say that in order to controll the super soilders and Metroids they needed a mother brain. To gain the ideal amount of control over the exparements they give the mother brain clone (MB) a human forme the blonde scientist. The red haired scientist and MB eventually forme a mother-daughter relation ship. However the other scientists begin to fear MB when they go to capture her red hair does nothing MB goes crazy and causes all the chaos in the bottle ship. so you fight a Queen Metroid then go and find red and run into her and MB they talk the GF renforcements show up. MB is killed Anthony turns out to be alive. Right before the Bottle Ship is to be destroid Samus returns one last time to get Adams helmet.

So onto other things starting off Samus and Adam. This relation ship seems to be massivle blown out of proportion it's one of respect between a commanding officer and a former student. The real conflict between the to seems to come from Adam willing to sacrfice a life, His own with jettesening Sector Zero and reveled in a flash back his little brother to save an entire colony of people. Versues Samus wanting to protect life, she disobeyed orders by not killing the baby Metroid which was later captured by the space pirates then killed and scraped off Samus by the GF and given to the Bottle Ship making this all kinda her fault. Now onto Ridley before I go into the PTSD thing after the first boss an odd chicken thing shows up and starts eating it's corpse. Samus wonders if this thing used her to get food. It did and it's Ridley. Now first off every thing else here is trying to kill me and this thing just used me. Brushing it of turns out to be a misstake senes it grows up to be Ridley and kill a few people. Onto Samus's freak out when she meets Ridley I have no problem if you don't like this me i see it as the space dragon that killed Samus's parents that she thought she killed just showed up again. I think it's fine if she's freaked out.

Well I hope I got that out of my system. If anyone want's to further discuss this I am up for it.



#95099 3DS E3 2010 Third party announcements gets me mad at Nintendo for E3 2012

Posted by esper on 23 July 2012 - 12:38 PM in General Gaming

The problem is that no causals watch E3. Only hardcore gamers does.

Nintendo advertised E3 on Twitter and Facebook. They had a live stream on they're Facebook page. They tried to get any "casual" to watch thier E3 presentation that they could, we got more info from the Nintendo Direct after E3 than E3 itself.



#94994 3DS E3 2010 Third party announcements gets me mad at Nintendo for E3 2012

Posted by esper on 22 July 2012 - 11:14 PM in General Gaming

Why could'nt they have done that with Wii U instead of showing off games like SiNG and Fitness Evolved....wait DJ Hero 3d and Assassin's Creed? Those never came out for the 3ds and Nintendo showed that two years ago...

E3 = casual Nintendo Direct = US

Also Nintendo probably doesn't want to announce a bunch of games that may end up being canceled.

#91063 TGS podcast #15 E3

Posted by esper on 01 July 2012 - 01:28 AM in General Gaming

The Game startion podcast is something I occasionally listen to. I was going through a backlog of thier episodes and I came across this one. While I don't agree on many of the issues they discuss I believe that they brought up many things to talk about. Here is the link the point to really start listening is at 2:00:40.

#90197 IGN says Nintendo sacrificed E3 for stockholders

Posted by esper on 27 June 2012 - 05:27 AM in General Gaming

Gee, you wonder why stockholders even claim shares on the companies to begin with. :huh:


Yeah stockholders don't seem like the most clever or patient of people, like that one guy who said the only reason he had stock was because the liked their name.
I also think I heard a story after this E3 where the stockholders said that nintendo was making a current gen system and Iwata fired back with third parties are not even using half the systems power.
So Wii U more than half current gen power confirmed. :P



#90193 IGN says Nintendo sacrificed E3 for stockholders

Posted by esper on 27 June 2012 - 05:12 AM in General Gaming

Didn't Nintendo's stock ultimately end up dropping anyway post E3?

Just about everyone's stock fell at E3, I think that happens every E3.

#85332 Rumor: Nintendo to hold "Summer Conference", Tons of third party'...

Posted by esper on 07 June 2012 - 11:52 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't like it but I think I get it, more reveals closer to launch more impulse buys. :unsure:



#85268 Maybe Nintendo is targeting the hardcore long term after all!

Posted by esper on 07 June 2012 - 08:49 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I've sorta been under this impression as well. I think Nintendo is releasing the games that they know are going to sell throughout the lifespan of the WiiU. Get all the casual stuff first to try to get the people who bought the Wii to buy the WiiU because the only people who buy consoles at launch are fanboys and casuals if it takes off.



#85160 Ubisoft won E3!

Posted by esper on 06 June 2012 - 07:37 PM in General Gaming

Ubisoft>Nintendo>Sony>Microsoft>EA

Ubisoft's one low point was right before the e-sports segment, the bad comedy skit.

Nintendo I had high expectations they talked about mostly stuff I already know but seeing footage of them was entertaining. Too much NintendoLand.

Sony didn't show anything that really intrested me Beyond looks nice but don't know anything about gameplay, The Last of Us also looks nice but in a apocalipse game I want to interact with every thing and I didn't see that. Finally WonderBook why WHY?

Microsoft had Usher come out and do a praformence for no reason and South Park was the only thing that I wanted to play.

EA what happend seriously I don't remember.

#81898 Nintendo Teases Three Launch Titles For Wii U

Posted by esper on 30 May 2012 - 11:57 AM in Wii U Games and Software

People say Nintendo does not get the Internets but by this level of trolling I say Nintendo understands the Internets very well.



#79778 Nintendo All Access @ E3 2012

#78537 Yay or Nay to the idea of in the future having colored Wii U Tablet Controllers?

Posted by esper on 15 May 2012 - 05:02 PM in Wii U Hardware

Nintendo will probably release the subscreen controller in other colours but I kinda want then to do something like the GBA micro with interchangable face plates.



#78372 Rumor: Nintendo to offer Wii U cloud storage for save games and player profiles

Posted by esper on 14 May 2012 - 04:05 PM in Wii U Hardware
