Re: Hate Thread
No, the game is horrible. The controls are twisted and broken. If you lock onto certain objects in first person mode, it wont allow you to shoot (like if your aimer goes anywhere near a computer) which makes fighting swarms of enemies difficult if anything "Unshootable" is in the background. You cant move while in First Person mode, which makes it feel like those moments in the House of the Dead videogames where you watch a giant axe fly at you and can only hope to god you shoot it out of the air before it hits you. They also removed those healing orbs and missile pickups (oh, did I mention you have infinite missiles?) Also, while in 3rd person mode, you cant shoot missiles. In 1st person mode, all you can do is shoot missiles. They removed the awesome scan visor from Metroid Prime, so there's no data or info on any enemies, which I found neat. 3/4 of the enemies must be killed in a God of War style fashion, which usually involves jumping on their heads (Which is REALLY hard with the bad controls and bad camera angles.) There also seems to be a huge undertone of Vore in it, as venus flytraps and weird monsters hold Samus in their mouth while she struggles (eww, gross.)
They also tried to give Samus a personality, but Ive seen more original personality in a cloned apple. She sounds like a robot, and keeps whining over the most trivial things (really, 2 hours into the game, and she's still complaining about how Mother Brain killed the Baby Metroid.) Rather than the standard Samus tripping and losing all her powers scenario, she has to be authorized by her commanding officer to use it. So really, you have the missiles and power bombs already, you just cant use them till some jerk says so over your headset. "Sorry, Samus, I cant authorize you to use the grappling beam to cross the pit of lava, for no reason."
She monologues more than all the 007 Villains combined, over the most trivial stuff (Shit about how the elevator works or something, or how she had some weird incestive crush on her commanding officer, but also saw him as a dad.)
My favorite parts is when it forces you into first person mode to scan for something (it never tells you what you have to scan for, or where to look) so you're stuck playing iSpy for 10 minutes wondering what the hell the game wants you to find. [/sarcasm] Really, I love Metroid Games. The Side Scrollers and the 1st person Metroid Primes, but this one seems like Team Ninja took a shit in a box, put Samus' helmet on it, and called it a "Game"
tl;dr "Fuck no"
