With all its flaws, I still had a great experience with Other M. The opening flashback to Super blew me away. The Phantoon fight was a total surprise. I gave it another playthrough on hard, and surprise again: no expansion pick ups. Beating it on hard was really a challenge. I also REALLY like the art style in this game. I wish they'd bring back the more realistic style. I also like the 2.5 D perspective. I liked Samus' movement and the death blows, too. I'd love to see another Metroid like this. It was a good game and had so much more potential.
It really sucks this game story draggs it down so hard considering how well the gameplay is fleshed out, if it was just, changed like so rather than being 'allowed' to use your weapons its rather more adam is helping get the data transfered over to samus after its fixed up since this is placed right after the devastating super metroid final battle, just that tweak makes so many of those moments where samus is just, getting her shit clapped cause adam isnt letting her use her damn varia suit made no sense but in the case of instead hes sending the fixed weapon data? Much better
@@tybertpsymonThe story and team Ninja being forced to only use the Wii remote for controls is what hurt this game. The actual gameplay and visuals are top notch.
This game is SORELY misunderstood 😞. I've been a Metroid fan for over 35 years & this game deserves better. It's very true the story was bad & a few baffling design choices (really "gravity-glow" really 🤦♂️), but the gameplay was SO MUCH FUN!!!!
This one, al9ng with Super" on SNES, "Zero Mission" on GBASP, and "Samus Returns" are the only ones worth replaying to me. Never got into that "Prime" crap.

The Super Metroid flashback was awesome to me too. I hope the Super Metroid remake is good, if they decide to make one.
This game has the same flaws all games have, they aren't perfect. Other M is second only to Zero Mission.

I was thinking the same. Is the easiest fix to the upgrade system storywise so Adam isn't a jerk it's incredible they didn't think about it.
If you don't consider the story and narrative style the gameplay smashes!
I wish we got another take on a "2.5-D" Metroid game, but with how badly Other M was received, I doubt it'll ever happen
Was it the 2.5D or the wii support who lead to a bad reception? Seeing how metroid dread found success, we can still believe in a 2.5D return. imo

@@garvensmanagreed
You're too good at speedrunning video games (GG)
This was honestly pretty entertaining and I'm glad to have found it
Other M was my firts Metoid game and I love it hope Nintendo remaster this one but I doubt it
Welcome back!
Never left, just that at this point its stupid hard to PB :P
a god among men
i loved that game hard to belive not many did, what to much chat
I did too but the switching into first person was 🤮
It was the script
The Japanese script is MUCH better than what we got

Very much so! I run it because I enjoy playing it!

Have you ran the game with "the mod"? what are your thoughts on it?
Have not run with the mod. Have not looked much into doing so; I know others who have and it doesn't interest me much.
@@Habreno the mod?
Thee mod?
What does "The Mod" consists of?
