I was just going to rent the game and move on >.>

Oh and if you want another example of a game going wrong, but not ruining the series check out Silent Hill: Homecoming. That game made me sad with the whole lock-on system and storyline you can guess 5 minutes into playing. However, I got excited for and blown away by the re-imagining of the first Silent Hill on the Nintendo Wii with its amazing( although short) storyline.

Did this title reveal certain parts of Samus that people may not have wanted (sounds like it, but i can't say because I haven't played it). However, like others have stated, there is no need to worry. There will be another crew that comes along and brings out the best of the Metroid and makes a game that shines.

No worries, Be Happy

Eh, this makes her seem more "human" i guess, since she was tramautized as a little girl, but I mean, on the NES or SNES it's not like the game actually had Samus speaking or any character development, it was just shoot this or shoot that. And they couldn't make a cutscene where Samus remember something from her past.

And now you know the awful truth. So much of feminism is men trying to make women act like men, and women can't relate to it.

They made Samus in a sensitive character who's vulnerabilities are an important part of who she is, and have influence over her behavior instead of being repressed/ignored like, say, Kratos.

In other words, they made Samus like a woman. And surprise, apparently some women appreciate this.

How exactly is it good for gender issues to have 'strong female character' mean 'character who acts like a man'?

When I opened this thread I was hoping for- ah forget it, easier than "Backdooring Annie" threads.

Oh my god.

I'm not a feminist, I'll be the first to admit I'm sexist, however, anyone with even a basic level of intelligence should realize that portraying a woman like Samus as the stereotypical "distressed damsel" *IS* sexist.


Woman =/= Emo train wreck
Man =/= Badass independent character with emotions under control


Only a hack writer / unintelligent individual associates genders like that.

Actually, through actions and monologues, Samus was portrayed as a strong, independent woman with emotions.

Same example as before:
"The Return of Samus (1991)" . - She spares the final Metroid who is born and believes Samus is her mother, going against orders that the Galactic Federation gave her (Exterminate all Metroids).


The Other M = inconsistent with Samus' previous portrayal(s). More than that, her behavior towards the character "Adam" is disturbing and downright offensive, EVEN TO ME! When you offend someone who openly admits to being sexist, you -know- you've gone too far.
