I still can't wrap my head around why it's all fantasy themed, and made to look like a cheap recreation of Miyazaki's art? Like...is COD 7 set in medieval times or something?

My point is, no one is really analyzing this with any sense of nuance. Everyone is screaming to the heavens about the "annoying sidekick" based on one article and a few minutes of gameplay.

No one's saying anything outside of "GOD THIS IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO METROID SINCE THE MURDER MYSTERY PLOT OF OTHER M" and "OMG THE ADDED CLAPTRAP TO METROID EXCEPT NOT REALLY"

Like, the Metroid manga fucking OPENS with Samus dreaming of a life where she can just be a normal person. Why would anyone look at this and not go, "oh yeah, Samus wouldn't mind some company on these adventures"

Also...for like...strictly storytelling and narrative reasons. Y'all remember Samus is a person, right? Like, she's not just a gun on a pair of legs. Giving her a partner, slapstick or not, reenforces the human side of her. That she's open to connection, that she doesn't actively seek solitude.

Like I know the whole "Why can't Metroid crawl" became a kind of infamous meme, but its not hard to imagine Nintendo looked at the difficulty of something as big as Metroid Prime and wanted to tone it down a bit.

Like, "I played the first hour of Metroid Prime 4 and there's a comedy sidekick who walks you through the whole thing."
"Okay...but does he chatter in your ear the whole game and constantly ruin the atmosphere?"
"Well, I only played the highly-guided opening hour so..."
"So you don't know?"

Guys, come on, that's not fair. He'll at least give a waffling acknowledgement of all the studio closure, game cancellations and layoffs before doing it.

It doesn't open the door to loot boxes; it straight up just IS loot boxes. This is EA trying to rebrand lootboxes as "surprise mechanics." 🙄

I'll never forget the day my 360 red ringed. I was fortunate enough to have one of the first gen 360s last at least a solid 5-6 years.
