No one expected a shitty game of that caliber.

I bought this at full price and sold it later for 20 bucks.

New ones are worth over 200 now.

I didn't bother completing the second game.

>>254417373
I just want some information on how they felt about it after playing it for the first time and how they feel now four years later.

>>254417373
so we've got one guy then

>>254417227
I expected a good game and Amazon gave me a 20 dollar credit for pre-ordering.

I 100%'d it in three days and immediately fenced it to Gamestop. They gave me around 30 bucks, so I BASICALLY came out even, at least.

If I knew how it was going to turn out on release I wouldn't have bought it.

>>254417668
Honestly, I liked it when I played it the first time. The story was complete ass, but the gameplay was halfway decent.

I didn't, but it wasn't as bad as /v/ whines about constantly. I'd feel a little ripped off, but wouldn't act like it was the worst purchase ever

It was me
I had so much remorse that day when playing it 2 hours in

>>254417482
I rented it because I wanted to replay the games. Only if I knew.

This was me. I was so excited for a new metroid game I bought it the day it came out. I read the reviews beforehand and they all said it was a solid game, but they all complained about the authorization. I was kinda interested in how a story oriented metroid would turn out, and flipping between perspectives was kinda fun. Overall it was a solid game 7/10, I do regret paying 60 dollars for it, but only because it immediately dropped in price, a rarity for any Nintendo game. Seriously I've seen this thing for sale for 5 bucks at Gamestop.

>>254417227
I bought Brink for full price, I felt like killing myself an hour later.

>>254418102
It's one of the few games that really is as bad as /v/ says.

I initially had it reserved l and had planned to pick it up day one.
I switched the preorder money over to Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Limited Collectors Edition.
Please kill me.

>>254418409

Except it's not. Just because the cutscenes suck doesn't mean the game is shit. It's a solid metroid game, with horrible cutscenes/plot/voice acting/dialogue/etc. Considering metroid games never have those things, then hating the game based on those seems retarded.

I did.

I'm ashamed.

>>254418014
I thought the gameplay was pretty cool for about half the game, then things started poking out at me, like the crummy enemy design and how badly Sense Move and Concentration wrecked the flow of combat.

Like, seriously, I managed to pull off Concentration at least three or four times during the Queen Metroid fight. That boss was so poorly designed, they actually made it so you can have windows long enough to heal yourself and refill your missiles indefinitely.

>>254418752
>It's a solid metroid game

You lost me there.

I'm willing to admit that it would be passable, if extremely forgettable, if it were a brand new IP, but it plays absolutely nothing like prior Metroid games and stripped the soul out of everything that made the original three games great.

Yo.

But then, I've bought every Metroid since Fusion day one, full price. This was the first and only time I've been disappointed by the series.

>>254417668

It was great at first, then the story started to annoy me, but I still had fun at the end thanks to the great combat and movement, huge fresh air after prime's tank controls. And off course it was a bit isappointing after the prime games.

Then I came on /v/ and realized it was supposed to be the worst game ever made and cringed at the autism, like yours OP.

>>254417227
I picked up my pre-order from Gamestop knowing that the reviews said that it was an ok game but the story was bad. What I saw was unimaginable: Samus had been reduced to a crying child, plot holes galore, multiple inconsistencies with series canon, a complete idiot of a CO in Adam Malkovich, and the dullest monolog spoken by a non robot character that I've ever heard.

I thought about trading it in but I decided to keep it as a reminder. This is what happens when one man gets drunk with power. It will sit on my shelf for eternity as a warning to all.

>>254418752
>Sense Move and Concentration totally break the balance of combat.
>Authorization fucks up the sense of progress.
>Enemy design is terrible.
>Game is technically pretty but the art and level design is boring as sin to look at it.

It's really not a solid Metroid game, m8.

Ridley's theme and my main nigga Nightmare were the only good things in Other M.

I got the game day one. I enjoyed it for what it was. Don't regret it even a little bit. I just wish it could have lived up to the hype :/

>>254419537
But they totally ruined Nightmare's design.

>>254418635
Holy shit, your life sucks.

>>254419173
Ehhhhhh, I can KINDA forgive that one? Since it's a Metroid Queen and all, and if you're diving into its stomach and Morph Balling, it's obvious to think if you're at all familiar with Metroid 2 "I need to bomb it."

What happened to me is I tried to use regular bombs, I died, restarted right there and went "Oh, I probably need to use a Power Bomb." and it worked. If they made you do the whole fight over, it'd be shit design, but with that immediate checkpoint, I'm kind of okay with it for dramatic purposes.

>>254418752

I bought it for like $4.99 new and retail just to see for myself if it really was as bad as everyone said. Hands down one of the worst games Iv played. What the fuck was Chipman smoking?

>>254419686
Not to mention, since Other M takes place immediately before Fusion, it took a lot out of his appearance in Fusion. From Samus's perspective, it's just "oh, you again."

I thought it looked like shit from the first trailer. Looked like the atmosphere was missing and the graphics looked worse than Metroid Prime 1

>>254418965
>Original three games
Umm, i love Metroid just as much as the next guy, but the first 2 games aren't that great, especially by today's standards. (Super) Metroid 3, however, is one of the best gamea ever made. Wait, you're not talking about the Prime games, are you..?

>>254420053
Wait 5 bucks?

I've never played metroid. Why is it so bad?

>>254420053
At mean at first you'd think "okay, whatever, he's just unable to say anything bad about a AAA Nintendo game, lots of people have that problem."

But then he goes "THANK GOD IT WASN'T ANOTHER FPS" and you realize he actually thought this was a great Metroid game and the Prime games were the lesser, more derivative ones (he literally referred to Metroid Prime as Nintendo going "me too" to the FPS craze started by Halo).

The dude has some serious fucking mental hang ups when it comes to FPSes, it's pretty damn sad.

>>254420571
NES limitations.

>>254420557
The first two games have aged poorly, but you still have to respect what they did for the genre. For their time, they were masterpieces.

>>254420557
No, I was referring to the first three because it was the foundation of what the series was built upon, which Other M completely shat on, both from a gameplay and story perspective. In gameplay, Other M got rid of the exploration, secrets, and progression, and as far as story goes, the plot that was wrapped up with Super Metroid was totally undone. Ridley, Mother Brain, and the Metroids, which were all dead at the end of the trilogy, were all brought back. I know that Fusion brought two of those back, but I actually don't like what Fusion did storywise either, but that's another thing altogether.

For some reason I wanted more Anthony after finishing the game. For what reason was he so interesting

>>254420683
>he literally referred to Metroid Prime as Nintendo going "me too" to the FPS craze started by Halo

This argument is so fucking stupid considering Metroid Prime started development a good two years before Halo was released.

>>254420991
At least Fusion didn't REALLY bring back Ridley, they just made Ridley-X, which was a shitty impersonation.

But yes, I agree that immediately bringing back the Metroids was a bad narrative choice for Fusion. One of these days, Nintendo's gonna have to decide if they're gonna keep going "nope someone was cloning more Metroids in secret GOTCHA SAMUS" or if they're actually gonna honor Metroid II's ending and not have anymore of those fucker's show up.

It wasn't that bad. The story was ass but it's amazing how many of you get butthurt over the zero suit. The gameplay is pretty ok I paid $50 for it don't regret it.

I listened to this board and bought Godhand and that was easily the worst game I ever played. I am convinced you idiots just troll with your opinions.

>>254421342
>I paid $50 for it don't regret it.

You must have a lot of cash on your hands.

>>254421189
Prime came out a exactly a year and two days after Halo: Combat Evolved.

So apparently he doesn't fucking know anything about game development.

I bought it full price day one. At first, I was just excited to play a new Metroid, and hey, Nintendo Power said the game was decent. I finished it over the next one or two days. The pixel hunts and the final bosses were incredibly frustrating, but I still feel like I had fun. But then as I thought about it, I realized just how awful it was,

>>254421258
I would say that they desperately want to keep the title relevant, but not every game has an entirely relevant title - for instance, there are a couple of Zelda games where Zelda herself doesn't figure into the story at all.

>>254421258
I think the X could work as the new Metroid, even though supposedly they've been eliminated too. inb4 a new breed of X-parasite that managed to clone a Metroid.

>>254421513
They could just pull out that "Metroid is Chozo for 'ultimate warrior'" chestnut.

THE REAL METROID WAS YOU ALL ALOOOOOOONG SAMUS

>>254420991
I agree entirely, Other M shat all over Super Metroid, fuck that tumor of a game.

>>254418752
If the cutscenes were removed from the game completely it would still suck ass. Controls are shit, everything is auto-aimed to make up for it, environments are linear and unimaginitive, exploration is limited to about 5 feet of hallway, motion control missiles break the flow of gameplay, regenerating health means you are never in any danger, platforming feels more stiff than a DMC game, and the major bosses are defeated with the aformentioned motion controls gimmick.

But please, continue justify your wasted time by sporting your mental inanity a bit more for us. These posts are always fun to read.

>>254421513
I agree entirely. Like Dark Souls. Fuck that game.

They don't even need a "new Metroid." There's a bunch of stuff they have lying around in the lore that they could use as a new thread. Like the Kriken,

It was 5 bucks on the bottom shelf of my local bargain bin. Save for some of the music and maybe "Remember me?" I can not think of one redeeming quality of this game. The gameplay swings from bland and boring to outright broken. Characters are all fucking stupid or just dont give enough of a fuck to survive. Ass pulls and lore rape abound. Levels are fucking corridors and rooms that lock you out so no exploration. And on top of it all they gave Samus the most boring and pathetic "character" inb4 but she had no character flaming shit licking homos appear and destroyed any idea of her being remotely competent or interesting.

The fan base has rightfully disowned it

Because he was a named Galactic Federation soldier that helped you out throughout the game, had a likable personality, and proved to be better than the cannon fodder that GF troopers appeared to be in the Prime games.

I really want to play a Metroid game where you play as a GF Trooper, maybe running into Samus in the process.

Did Sakamoto apologize in public for this trash?

Or does he blame Team Ninja for forcing them to create this abomination?

Metroid franchise is carried by Samus on her own.

Sakamoto hasn't said word 1 publicly since Other M came out. Nintendo in general hasn't commented except Reggie basically going out and saying they were disappointed with where the sales were going to end up and backing up Sakamoto and Team Ninja and saying he thought he did a good job. Which, when you're the president, is pretty basic "sticking up for your employees" stuff.

People will tell you that Sakamoto, Reggie and Nintendo just fucking love Other M but the truth is they've gone out of their way to avoid talking about it as much as possible over the last three years. Miyamoto's spoken about Metroid multiple times the last few years, including at the last E3 and he completely neglected to mention Other M.

They know what people thought of Other M and they're trying to bury it as fast as anybody else.

Ridley's almost more of a force of nature than a character at this point, though.

He hasn't said anything, dude.

For all we know, he could be like "FUCK YOU, MY ART IS UNQUESTIONED" and farted in everybody's face or the reception could've really been a shock to his system and he's been taking a hiatus from developing new Metroid games or speaking publicly because it really got to him.

They need to make Metroid even edgier, maybe copy some of the 3rd person action and plot of Gears of War. Hell let Cliffy B get a shot at Metroid. This is the only way to save it.

I can remember a time when someone would have made a flash of that a week after the games release.

On the other hand a Ridley and Space Pirate spin off game would be hype as fuck. Wherever on the time line, just Ridley getting his forces back together after their latest defeat. It could play in a bunch of diferent ways, you could have Space Dragon fun time in Ridley playable missions, tacticool space pirate op missions that play similar to Prime, and big battle missions that would straight up rip off Star Wars Battle Front II

I may be alone on this, but I really hate how Ridley went from "boss, underling to Mother Brain" to "recurring villain" to "most important thing in the Metroid universe, killer of Samus's parents, leader of the Space Pirates, mastermind behind everything, Samus's recurring nightmare that will haunt her until the end of time."

For fuck's sake, just give up on Ridley and create more interesting villains for once. He shouldn't be this important - there was a time where he was on equal ground with Kraid, yet we haven't seen Kraid since Super Metroid.

I enoyed the game, could of been better but I'm not going to scream out it's faults.

4 years later? I hope they learned for the next one they keep the story to minium, a much much larger map with new upgrades and a better combat system.

Also tired fo the constant blind hate. Most people dont' even have a decent agrument of why its bad. They just hop on the bandwagon cause it gives them easy targets when someone with a bit of tolerance likes the game.

this is a great example of idiots who jump on the bandwagon to blind hate. You don't even have your own opinion to defend. You just post some terrible picture someone else made.

As i said, looking for an easy target and nothing more. Anythign yopu post next will be nitpicking every little thing you can think of with simple "it's trash arguments".

At least i know nintndo doesn't give a shit so they will either trash the series or make what they want and fans can deal with it.

>>254425686
You must not pay very close attention. This is one of the few games where it's incredibly easy for /v/ to articulate all of the terrible design and reasons why it sucks.

>Sakamoto: "Somebody might think I'm telling a lie when I say everything went well but the fact of the matter is when I try hard to think I can't think of anything that is regrettable to me as far as Other M is concerned. I think whatever I wanted to do at the beginning was there in the final product. Consistently keeping the original concept, we were adding to that so in the final analysis I should say I can't think of anything regrettable to me and I'm really grateful for the final outcome."

What the fuck is he gonna do, say "I'm incredibly disappointed in this project I spent the last several years of my life on. Please buy it at full price though, I have a family to feed."

Find me something from I dunno, the last fucking three and a half years where he says the same thing. Jackass.

Other M's environments were literally that: environments. They were bland has all hell. The grassy environment was pretty dark and uncolorful. And what drives me bonkers is that I don't even know if the areas had music.

Prime 2 had 3 main areas and a hub. 1st area was boring, 2nd was a cool swamp with an even cooler underwater section, and 3rd was just fucking cool. They all had track themes that I remember to this day. Just compare Torvus Bog to Sector 1.

Look, I'm not hear to shit on Other M. It's not as bad as Metroid purist seem to parade it as, but it's not as great as these new Metroid kids seem to call it as. At the end of the day it was decent at best, and I'm even replaying it right now to see if my opinion changes. But when a game from 2004/05 blows it out of the water in terms or level design, that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

>At least i know nintndo doesn't give a shit so they will either trash the series or make what they want and fans can deal with it

And why do people keep saying this? It came out 4 years ago give or take? Miyamoto said in an post e3 interview that he wants more 2D and 3D metroid. Just because it doesn't come out annually like Mario doesn't mean its dead.

Yeah, it's worth it. It's really fascinating, actually. It took me two playthroughs before I was finally able to appreciate how horrible this game was at literally every aspect.

The story is garbage, as you probably already know. You can't even skip cutscenes your first time through. What you may occasionally hear is that the gameplay itself is pretty solid and fun.

That's bullshit. I believed that lie too, until I played through the game the second time. It's actually incredible how shitty and boring this game is. The story is actually the BETTER half, because at least you feel something. Whether it's laughing at how stupid it is, or cringing at it's horribleness, you're having an experience. The gameplay itself is just BORING. It's not "bad", it's functional apart from the first person sections. The problem is, is that it's monotonous. It's soulless. The homogenous environments, the enemies, there lack of music, the gameplay being just tap + to win... But it's functional.

That's what amazes me about the game itself. Just about everything "works", but it has so little spark or soul that it's just... Incredible.

>TL;DR Buy it for cheap. Story is shit, gameplay is technically serviceable, but is actually shit. Enjoy the story, because the rest of the game is so boring that it will put you to sleep.

I blame Nintendo for oversaturation of their AAA titles. I remember a time when there'd be a Mario or Zelda every 5-7 years and not 2-3. And now Pokemon is doing it too. I understand the Wii U and at a point 3DS didn't have 3rd Party support so they had to pump out more rapidly, but damn did it spoil a bunch of people. At least they started pumping out some new IPs.

Wave Race when?

>>254429605
>Remember what happened to Mother and F-Zero? And Wario?

Mother is done though story-wise. As for F-Zero there is hope. Wario is sadly in Warioware hell. I don't have an affinity for that series, but I can tell you Game & Wario wasn't that great, and it certainly didn't top the first few.

>/v/ is defending Other M

What happened?

>>254428548
That's because there was no fucking music. Two or three battle tracks and some shit to go behind cutscenes. Everything else was just environmental background bullshit. Other M has literally no redeeming qualities.

It boggles the mind, I just can't understand it. How can a series with such a musical legacy churn out such generic theatrical bullshit? It's crazy. It's like it's not even from the same series. Both are ambient, but one still has it's own soul and feeling. You can listen to it, and it will put you in a place. The other is just... Nothing. It's a complete nothing song that doesn't inspire anything.

>Wanting Metroid in the worst genre

I got Other M on launch day. I don't regret it. I thought it was a fair game, despite Samus's cringeworthy voice actor and the waaaaaay too Japanese storyline sensibilities.

It was interesting to actually see some of Samus's backstory, since every other game utterly failed to say anything about Samus as a character. At most, before Other M, she was a generic hero that did generic hero things.

>>254434012
I'd take fucking 3rd person cover shooter over a metroid RPG

Did we play the same game? This game was shit in almost every category and I literally tried to get a refund for it and succeeded because the guy working the counter knew it was shit. Why are you fucks defending it?

>>254434451
>since every other game utterly failed to say anything about Samus as a character

confirmed for only playing the first game ;)

>>254422587
I'm of the opinion that a spin off game with another character, wheter it be a strategy game with the federation, or a stealth mission with another bounty hunter would be pretty well done.

>>254434451
Too bad they fucked with the established backstory she already had.

Where were the Chozo? The word Chozo wasn't even mentioned once, and they sure as hell were more of a father figure than Adam was.

In fact, the whole relationship with Adam is strange for a number of reasons, but I want to know why the hell he went from being a military official Samus had respect for to, in her own words, "my best friend and the closest thing to a father I had." Especially taking into consideration that Other M takes place immediately before Fusion; if she cared this much about him, she would have been way more shaken up about his death which could not have happened more than a couple of months before.

I got it as a Christmas present from my ex mother-in-law

>>254434767

The problem is that you looked for reasons to hate the game then agreed to use the same reasons as everyone else.

Nobody genuinely dislikes the game. The mere fact that you lie about the game design proves you wrong. You all pretend like the whole thing where Adam authorizes the item is horrible, when in actuality, it's the same exact thing as finding the item that he authorizes in the room.

The fact that people continue to ironically assert that this is some kind of "misogynistic message" and that it makes Samus "look weak" after it has been debunked is proof that the whole hatred for Other M is nothing but herd mentality.

Well, there's the time she got pissed at Adam for letting his own brother die, and there's the time she got pissed at (and then instantly forgave and idolized) Adam for killing himself. That's pretty much it. Really, it was more Adam's backstory, except he was a completely generic motivationless guy with far less characterization than he had in Fusion.

I did.

3 hours in and oh boy did I have great fun! Thankfully this was also before people on the internet tried to push a meme on me that this game was bad because it made their waifu Samus girly. Loved seeing Ridley's life cycle, loved the enemy selection to. It had actual combat instead of FPS nonsense so I had something to entertain me from start to finish. My only real complaint (besides the awful samus) was it was very linear... but so was Prime 3. So that isn't a blemish against this game specifically as much as it just appears the Metroid franchise is no longer about exploration. Overall I'd give it a 7/10, would play again.

I was always a bit confused at the end of Fusion. Does the computer realize he is Adam when Samus calls him that, or did he always know that and only decide to betray the Federation when Samus prompted him to?

It's been a long time since I played Fusion, but I think it was more of a Robocop type scenario, where he gradually learns that he was Adam.

>>254417227
I didn't, but people that did are worthy of pity rather than derision. They didn't know how bad it would be.
I personally figured it would be bad because the Ninja team was doing it, but I didn't expect it to be THAT bad.

It's not like halo 4 or DMC or Fable 3 or something where of course it was going to be shit and you should have known that from day 0.

I bought it day 1. despite the bad story i still enjoyed the game

Daily reminder don't reply to primefags

I didn't pick it up till it was 5 dollars new at gamestop. I actually enjoyed it considering the price. that being said, some of the design choices were retarded, I would literally stand there for 20 minutes trying to click the one pixel that would let me advance in those mandatory FPV scenes. the story really ruined samus' persona and the item unlock system was the worst, why does she have to be "okayed" to use all her weapons? still, I thought combat was fun and it felt like it had a good amount of exploring. worth the 5 dollars, at least.

This thread has given me glorious, glorious hope in the internet.

Thank you, /v/. Thank you.

>>254441056
Why?

>>254440897
Sweet anon

I actually thought the game looked pretty bad just from the previews. The trailers showed a lot of dramatic cutscenes of Samus' backstory of back when she was a vulnerable young space cadet and shit. I was like, "so this is pretty much going to be Anime Samus: The Game, right? This is pretty much going to be a bad Metroid Fusion."

I mean I had no idea it was going to be THAT bad like it did, glad I pirated it, but I had no good expectations from the very start. Call me a cynic, but tons of anime cutscenes don't sell me a on game, especially not one from a game series known for it exploration and non-linear gameplay.

>>254417227
I haven't bought a game full price on day one in six years

>>254441117

Ah, was clearly before the thread went to shit. There was a brief moment of harmony, agreeing that Other M is garbage and giving ideas on how to improve the series and giving tidbits of headcanon here and there.

Now the dark times are upon us once again.

Unlike most games I talk about, I never played Other M, and probably never will unless I can distract myself from its HORRENDOUS story.

That is never the case. If anything, I've seen people more likely to dismiss an entire post if it defends Other M in any way.

Don't listen to the people who say "the story sucks ass but the gameplay is pretty good." The gameplay is shit too, just a different kind of shit than the story.

no, i'm pretty sure other m is quantifiably bad

Really? So it has no hope then? I mean, I find it kind of hard to imagine a Metroid game with bad gameplay. Even Metroid 2 was sort of well received despite the limited capabilities of the Gayboy.

Do you remember, when this game was first announced 5 years ago? I got so hyped back then, it seemed like a dream. A Metroid game co-developed with Team Ninja. It made the disappointment so much worse.

>>254444730
All I cared about was the Remember Me guy.

The huge focus on the story convinced me it was going to be shit from the start.

>>254417227
I gotta wonder to myself sometimes just what was I expecting when I bought it. It seemed like it was going to be good, and hell, in all honesty, It's like the game itself wanted to be so much more, yet everything about the game gets cut really short. I mean, the whole double-agent plot was never wrapped up. For all we know' that black man was a dirty nigger who killed his squadmates, but we'll never know because they dropped that subplot midgame. Then they introduce this Tourian section of the ship that supposedly housed a new Mother Brain, but Adam robs us of ever exploring what could have been the only good part of the game by blowing himself up with it. Instead, we fight this shitty scientist woman whose apparently also supposed to be Mother Brain. Seriously, it sounds like there were good ideas, but they were scrapped for whatever reason and all the bad ideas remained.

Some areas that I found Other M did well:

Concentration: It helps to complement the fast action paced nature of the game and most importantly, translates Samus' athletic and precise 2-D movements to 3-D, which is something the Prime series lacked. It was also well balanced because while you can spam it, sub-bosses and bosses were fast enough to punish you if you tried. It also can't be spammed on hard.

Power-ups: Just as satisfying to find and use as other Metroid games. Variety is a bit shallower, but still gets the job done.

Secrets: Just like other Metroid games, the best powerups like accel tanks are hidden well and not revealed with the HUD. Secrets also aren't just missile upgrades, but actual useful and cool shit. Encourages exploration and often opens up new areas to dedicated players. Of course, it's not as intricate as Prime's secrets, but it's very reminiscent of 2-D Fusion and Super.

Resource Management: Missiles need to actually be used strategically here. Unlike games like Prime where you have 200 missles, you have to make every shot count, which leads to more thought in battles, especially on hard mode.

Authorization: Yeah, it's shit, but that's an issue with the story. Functionally, it's the same concept as finding new abilities like in any other Metroid game.

General Mechanics: The game mechanics are actually very solid and precise that allows you to do things like dodge, melee attack, and shoot from different angles. It is hampered the D-Pad, but still works very well.

Enemies: About the same variety as any other game with small-med-large types with different methods to take down. Large enemies are generally 'puzzles' that you have to figure out in order to defeat and adds depth that would otherwise by missile spam/charged beam spam.

There's more, but these are the notable attributes in my opinion. You're free to say the game is fucking trash and 0/10, but I'll vehemently disagree.

You don't even actually fight her. You shoot at a bunch of enemies in her way and then aim at her, to which she gets killed by someone else in a cutscene.

>>254446349

>I'll be on again tomorrow night
Wow, thanks for telling me. I was really fucking worried for a minute there that Anonymous wouldn't be here tomorrow.

I preordered it.

Gameplay is largely mediocre, story is fucking horrible, those parts were you need to find something in a room are horrific.

Now I have a reminder not to preorder anything.

It was also well balanced because while you can spam it, sub-bosses and bosses were fast enough to punish you if you tried. It also can't be spammed on hard.

Except you can use it during miniboss/boss fights if you know what you're doing. Plus, having the ability to regen health/ammo whenever you feel like it kills any tension you might have when exploring and taking damage while relying on health pickups. Nowhere in Other M is anything that compares to the gauntlet in Prime 1 or lower Norfair in Super.

>Power-ups: Just as satisfying to find and use as other Metroid games.

Not really, since there's only one new addition and they all function exactly the same as in previous games. The complete lack of any sort of new mechanics added by new powerups makes them feel lazy and uninspired.

>Secrets: Just like other Metroid games, the best powerups like accel tanks are hidden well and not revealed with the HUD. Secrets also aren't just missile upgrades, but actual useful and cool shit. Encourages exploration and often opens up new areas to dedicated players. Of course, it's not as intricate as Prime's secrets, but it's very reminiscent of 2-D Fusion and Super.

Except not, since there are only 2 non Energy/Missile upgrades that barely help at all (Wow, you can charge faster even though you already get infinite free charge shots by spamming the dodge roll!). The splitting of energy tanks into 4 bits feels like they padded out the item count since they didn't have nearly as much room for you to explore; plus, the fact that you can't even get 100% of the items on your first run due to all the locked doors feels fucking annoying,

>Resource Management
Nonexistant due to concentration.
