Visually, Am2R does look a bit nicer than Metroid: Samus Returns. Both games look like they’ll stand up on their own merits though.
But the Prime games were more than a mere “single player fps game”. It’s a 3D Metroid game (a franchise strongly linked to the metroidvania genre for some unknown reason) that just so happened to be in first-person rather than third. A Metroid game not belonging to the Metroidvania genre would frankly be quite odd.
Metroid Dread was supposed to be a 2D Metroid game. Metroid Prime 4 is Metroid Prime 4.
So the game has a diverse cast, everyone praises it for that, they then make a skin that represents more cultural diversity, and the one or two people who actually take offense to this lose their shit.
You do know what this means? Everyone who cried out “cultural appropriation” all collectively assumed Pharah’s race. You racists.
The Voice will purge the world of anime/weeaboo bullshit.
Funny you mention that.
