The thumbs-up sign had been used by the Galactic Federation for ages. Me, I was known for giving the thumbs-down during briefing. I had my reasons, though... Commander Adam Malkovich was normally cool and not one to joke around, but he would end all of his mission briefings by saying, "Any objections, Lady?" He was joking, but others weren't... At the time I felt surrounded by people who treated me like a child or used kid gloves because i was a woman. And yet, with Adam, I was grateful for the nod... My past has left me with an uneasy soul, and as a result, it touched me on some level that Adam would acknowledge that past by calling something delicate- like "Lady." And I knew more than anyone that every word from Adam was deliberate. My thumbs-down was a twofold response- a sign of derision at being called a lady, and a signal of my complete understanding of the mission orders. The other soldiers were always willing to support me with easy smiles despite the fact that I clearly had so much yet to learn. Among them was Anthony. In the face of his well-meaning behavior, and that of the other soldiers, my response was to become increasingly bitter. I was a child, always with something to prove. A chip on my shoulder.

Best game in the series. Haters gonna hate.
If you removed the story and improved the music, Other M would be a good Metroid game.
>>383427553
Remember me?
>>383427553
What did she mean by this?
Seriously, I have no idea.
>>383430147
Only good part of the game
Do you suppose that the backstory presented in Other M is the backstory they had in mind when Fusion was made, or did they just wing it when they were making Other M?
>>383427553
This shit was so Japanese it blew my mind.
>>383427553
Why did you leave out half of it?

>he didn't like Freddie Mercury getting tubed
>>383430646
Sakamoto flat out said he was trying to write Samus as he imagined she always was. So clearly he had ideas long ago. But it just turns out those ideas were terrible.
>>383430969
I'm talking about his entire character. Everyone else was written seriously and terribly and then you have this black dude shit talking a purple dragon, doing backflips, and then surviving after falling 50m or whatever.

Go back to jerking off to inflation porn, Dobson
>>383430648
It's like one of muh Japanese animes.
>>383427553
What a fucking badass. Need more strong women like samus in gaming.
>>383427553
It's a very interesting game because, it represents what could have been a bad 3D Metroid, if Retro didn't save the licence.
>>383431574
>We could have had Other M instead of Prime as the first 3d game
Okay I guess we're not in the worst timeline after all
Only played some of Fusion, but would Samus be more of a special agent for the Feddies than a bounty hunter?
>>383432130
I think she's a bounty hunter, but the Metroid games all deal with contracts she takes with with the Federation. Because the Federation contacts her whenever they have super crazy shit to deal with.
>>383432130
She's more of a mercenary than a bounty hunter. She's not officially GFed but they probably pay well.

You laugh, but Other M probably would have worked better as a N64/GC game. They wouldn't have been able to focus on cutscenes and those shitty pixel hunts. And the 2D controls in a 3D environment would have been better received back then, if not revolutionary. Imagine a Shadow Complex style game on the N64.
>>383429138
this other m and zero mission are the only good metroid games all of the others fucking suck
THE BOTTLE SHIP
>>383430101
Nope. Even on a completely gameplay level, it is complete shit.
I liked short hair Samus.

>Adam would acknowledge that past by calling something delicate- like "Lady."
I can't... who the fuck wrote this shit
