Title: Oh no Samuz speaks!!! My life is ruined
Post by: SantaC on September 23, 2010, 02:46:38 AM
I know IGN doesn't exactly have the best set of writers but this was pathetic even by their standards (Killing Samus) (http://wii.ign.com/articles/112/1122068p1.html)

Quote from: IGN
In Other M, I heard Samus speak for the first time, and I was devastated to find that my longtime friend wasn't the woman I thought she was. Someone who was once my favorite heroine, and an inspiration, was now a woman I wish had just kept her mouth shut.

jesus man, get a real girlfriend. I love how people are upset that Nintendo figures suddenly speak just because they didn't do that 20 years ago. How can people get payed for writing crap like this?


edit: lol turns out the writer was a girl, but it is still pathetic.

Its just one game people. Sure Samus made up for her years of silence in that one game, but many other franchises came back from much worse.

So basically  :miyamoto

but her longtime friend is ruined, how can she deal with this?!

they were some part that made me laugh a lot like when he's like "THE SIGNAL IS CALLED BABY CRY BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO ATTRACT ATTENTION AS OPPOSED TO THE DISTRESS SIGNAL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO GO BY UNNOTICED"

or when he's like
"YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO'S THE TRAITOR?"
*pause*
"SO DO I! BECAUSE THE GAME KIND OF FORGETS ABOUT IT"

Some friend

Samus was always supposed to be an avatar. It doesn't make sense for your avatar to express thoughts that aren't your own.

SHRUG.

let's play the same zelda over and over again! I actually enjoyed Metroid Other M because it took some risks and changed stuff around a bit.

What was funny though was Sakamoto, metroid geeks darling, was the reason for all the bad things in the game. Oh and there were tons.
Gunpei Yokoi is our darling, fuck Sakamoto. :maf
