Why is other M hated?
Just beat prime remastered and was thinking of playing the other games and everyone says to avoid other m.
Why?
Maybe I'm not autistic enough

Shit exploration, level design, bad story about samus's deviantart OC BF Adam, no interesting new upgrades, poor OST/environmental art. Avoid it (and fusion for similar reasons).

gameplay is a "blend" of top down and first person, but I put blend in quotation marks because they don't blend together at all and switching between them never stops being obnoxious and never starts being fun
linear progression and restrictive level design in a series that basically invented open exploration
pretentious, cutscene dependent story
god awful characterization that turns Samus into a special snowflake magical girl with surrogate daddy issues

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.

Story was shit, especially how you arbitrarily lose powers and have to beg Adam for them even though you're dying in heat.
Stopping to aim missles was shit, slowed down the action and made the boss design lame "stop and aim" tests.
Otherwise I really liked the gameplay. It felt more like the 2D Metroids than Prime did. The focus is on platforming, as it should be.
Would love for a new Metroid game with a more polished version of this gameplay and a better plot.

I went in wanting to like it, and it has some merit in being a more action oriented Metroid game.
However, its negatives far outweigh the positives.

>Extremely Linear.
Doors will lock behind you and force you down the route the narrative demands.
>Narrative is very stupid in a particularly Japanese way.
Hard to explain, but I hope anyone else who's played it can agree with me there.
>Controls are pants on head retarded
For whatever reason, the Nintendo rep assigned to oversee the project insisted it only needed the Wii stick to play, because the NES only needed that many buttons.
A lot of stupid decisions in Other M are blamed on them. Like the Gravity suit not turning Samus purple because "it looked stupid" to him in cutscenes...

Story doesn't matter in metroid. In fact, the more focus story gets, the worse the metroid game is usually and the overall story is pretty retarded. Prime trilogy has some cool lore but you don't need to play for story's sake to experience those.

Gameplay intentionally gimped so it could be playable with ONLY the Wii Remote because the original Metroid only had a D-pad and 2 buttons. It's genuinely uncomfortable to play on the poverty input. It's frustrating whenever you need to fire missiles but it's ironically too easy because you can go hide somewhere for infinite health and missiles and dodging being tied to the d-pad means you'll probably do it on accident.

Partially the translation. There's a couple anons I've seen an anon rail against the game for something that's not present in the original japanese script. Like someone thought Other M de-canonized the Prime games because the english makes it seem like Samus has never worked with the Federation since quitting. When the Japanese makes it clear that she's never been part of a squad unit. There was a difference between when she was one of the bounty hunters in Prime 3 and when she directly working under Adam in Other M.

If you've played Fusion, to say Other M is effectively a worse version of that game is about as much of a kindness as it deserves. It's not unplayable, but it does make some baffling design and control choices, which don't help when weighed against the worse still storytelling and characterization.

>Other M
Nintendo does not have room/want to make Metroid games in-house and so they rent the property to other studios.
The American Retro Studios nailed the character and the atmosphere the franchise was known for.
Other M was designed and written by socially inept Japanese eternavirgins that have never had much interaction with real women, but decided for the first time in franchise history to give Samus a shitton of retarded and unnecessary internal monologue exposition like 'dying in an explosion would be bad.'
Metroid's fanbase was characteristically pussy-destroying giga chad doms who loved environmental-storytelling boomerkino such as the original Alien film, so this did not go over well.
Dobson preferring Other M is pretty self-explanatory.

I don't know how much time passed since then. Days went by in their quiet way, and people's recollections of Metroids and Space Pirates grew nebulous over time, relegated to a past concern of the galactic communities... Nothing more than a faded memory.
(Baby's Cry received) Code name: "Baby's Cry." A common SOS with the urgency of a baby crying... The nickname comes from the fact that the purpose of the signal is to draw attention. The signal was coming from a remote part of space. I altered the course of my ship as if this detour had already been part of my flight plan.

And I was angry. I felt that if I let my guard down, I would easily be broken. And beyond that, I was scared. But even in the naivete of my youth, I could see in Adam's joking manner how close he felt to me.

Adam knows my past. And he knows me better than anyone else.

Confession time. Because I was so young when I lost both of my parents, there's no question I saw Adam as a father figure. When I rebelled against him, I knew I could get away with it. And his paternal compassion in the face of my rebellion reinforced the special bond I felt with him.

I understood well that chances were slim that I would ever find anyone that understood me like Adam. And yet... When the time came, I still left his side. I was so young. Young and naive...

I would also say that I seriously doubt the original version is much better. Cause ya no shit its better, is there even an example of anything being translated and becoming superior somehow? And according to the apologist in this very thread, the original script still contains the goofy as fuck baby/mother metaphor.

To be fair, they weren't canon. Nintendo never considers tie ins canon. They get references in game, but that doesn't make what appears out of game canon.
But yeah, he forgot that every other stage of the Metroid is already resistant to ice, making the entire GF plotline pointless, so he definitely forgot about those two.
No idea why they had the entire Deleter plot line only for it to end off screen.

>ๆœ€ใ‚‚็†่งฃใ—ใฆใใ‚ŒใŸไบบ็‰ฉใ 
So the ใใ‚ŒใŸ is important here, because it's not that Adam understood her the best. But that he gave her the most understanding. Another way of thinking about it is that he was the most sympathetic toward her situation. While she was in the federation.
>Confession time
Is this a paste error? I legitimately don't remember this being in the EN script. It's not in the JP.
>there's no question I saw Adam as a father figure
A bit extreme, the verb is
>้‡ใญๅˆใ‚ใ›ใฆใ„ใŸ
Which is more like overlap. You wouldn't want to outright state complete certainty. I remember some people have issues with this line because Samus had Chozo parents and presumably a Chozo dad. So you'd want to avoid playing the father angle too hard.

Probably should be more that it gave her peace of mind. It served her ego independent of Adam.
>And his paternal compassion in the face of my rebellion reinforced the special bond I felt with him.
>ๆ™‚ใฎ็งใŒใ‚ขใƒ€ใƒ ใซใฏๅฟƒใ‚’่จฑใ—ใ€ใใ—ใฆ็”˜ใˆใฆใ„ใŸใ“ใจใฏใ„ใพใ•ใ‚‰่จ€ใ†ใพใงใ‚‚็„กใ„
"Special bond" shouldn't be here. Nor the "his paternal compassion" actually. The point here is that she did trust Adam and that she was being coddled.
>I understood well that chances were slim that I would ever find anyone that understood me like Adam.
>็งใฎๅฟƒใ‚’็†่งฃใ—ๅ—ใ‘ๅ…ฅใ‚Œใฆใใ‚ŒใŸๅ”ฏไธ€ใ‹ใ‘ใŒใˆใฎ็„กใ„ๅญ˜ๅœจ
This is a bit interesting. More of a phrasing thing here. The EN plays into the relationship between Adam and Samus whereas the JP it's more that the support she received was important.

Does that matter? There are people making fun of the "confession time" line. And that's not in the JP. Every line that people generally dislike that's added by the localization contributes to the general dislike people have of the game. So I really don't see the issue with saying the localization is partially responsible.

It doesn't make them father figures. Again, I am only really defending Sakamoto here because of the many, many things Other M causes problems with, this is the least of them. Nintendo is very consistent with how they treat outside of game stuff. They will reference it and take bits and pieces, but what is outside of the game material is not real.
Dread referenced the Zero Mission comic book with Raven Beak directly quoting Mother Brain among other things, but the manga doesn't even agree with Super Metroid. In Super Metroid Samus says she first encountered Metroids in her original Mission on Zebes.
Not to mention, the Metroids were created in SR388 in the games, but the manga shows they were created in Zebes.

Threadly reminder that a shitton of the issues with the script is that Other M got absolutely butchered when it was translated to English, completely changing a lot of the characterization, and nobody in the West knew this for ages because there's surprisingly very few Nintendo fans that actually care about the original Japanese versions

I feel like Sakamoto felt like he could Kojima it because they have no other idea and MGS was doing well despite the fever dream of it all. He wanted to outdo Retro and he legitimately doesn't feel bad for it. He even knew it would be controversial and he still okayed it, that he wanted the series to actually go in this direction. And it does as Dread indicates, but Dread just comes off more as an apology for Other M and a return to roots.
