I heard in one of the preview videos Samus doesn't really react or give a shit what the NPCs say so that definitely tracks.

yeah, considering all footage we've seen until today didn't have those NPCs definitely implies they aren't long for this world haha

haha yeah the computer is EXTREMELY heavy on the handholding at times. But that didn't stop Fusion from being one of the more legit scary games in the series.

Yeah, looking over what various content creators have said, they only got to play for the opening hour. Which isn't a huge deal. I love Fusion and that computer can be a chatty Cathy during plot moments and leaves you alone the rest of the game.

Okay now that I can actually watch the footage since I'm out of bed, it's probably safe to assume the sidekick people were talking about is either killed off early or only around for a very small amount of time. Because most of this is usual Samus wandering alone.

That’s what I’m hoping! I can’t see Metroid working with a chatty Navi

I know it’s a franchise that doesn’t sell a ton, but in an Elden Ring+Silksong world, we’ve seen games can sell insanely well without giving you a ton of guidance.

I better be able to mute him!!! I want to be lost and miss things in Metroid!

I’m a colorist and am available :D bsky.app/profile/angi...

It's a struggle being an allied race enjoyer haha my warrior is a mag'har orc and she has like 6 hairstyles. I wish they'd give all the allied races a bit more love and update the original races' PS2 level hairstyles.

I was really confused because the first time we saw them I wasn't all that into them. But I'm really impressed with the customization. Those druid animations however really sold me

I am a bit interested because it has co-op and dude, you have no idea how hard it is to like to play games with friends but hate PVP and only want to use melee weapons. That cuts out 90% of co-op games and I can rarely convince friends to start survival games with me.
