I'm really excited for Swery's new Xbox-exclusive game, D4. I just hope the console can get its act together before D4 comes out.

Has Nintendo made any official comments about this?
I wanted to enjoy Scott Snyder's Swamp Thing, since I love Jeff Lemire's Animal Man and those two series cross over a lot. Unfortunately, I thought Yanick Paquette's art was fantastic but Scott Snyder seemed to phone his writing in. I bought the first two collections of New 52 Swamp Thing and I don't plan on…
The '90s are back!
I was bummed that Snyder seemed to half-ass his run on Swamp Thing. The art was great but his writing seemed phoned in.
The sport I like is good! The sport you like is bad!
One of the biggest reasons for this is the increased focus on licensed themes like Star Wars and Marvel/DC superheroes. When they license angry IPs, the corresponding minifigs will be angry as well.
No matter how good the tech is, the Uncanny Valley will always exist. And even if it looks super photorealistic in still images, the animation will never be perfect. Ellen Page may do a perfect motion capture performance in Beyond: Two Souls, but there will always be those weird glassy eye movements and strange mouth…
Ha. It helps that the console itself looks like the Monolith in 2001.
This isn't just a big deal for importing games. As someone who regularly travels internationally, this matters to me. It's stupid that in 2013, region-locking still exists.
It's also the same reaction people had when virtual reality headsets were first introduced to the mainstream in the early '90s... and it kinda amounted to nothing.
I like that this whole conversation has turned into a debate about 2001: A Space Odyssey, even though the original quote is from Blade Runner!
Doesn't expanding the focus miss the whole point of Metroid? One of the most important aspects of the series is its sense of solitude, of Samus exploring these vast alien worlds alone.
As a massive Metroid Prime fan, I'm okay with this. I'd rather see them wait until they're ready than simply churn one Metroid out after another. There's a reason Metroid Prime was so good after 8 years of waiting for a new game in the series.
I agree Fusion was a sweet game. Samus' interactions with Adam in that game weren't the driving force of the storyline, though—the main plot device moving things forward was the SA-X. Other M, on the other hand, revolves entirely around the Samus/Adam relationship. It's a great concept, but Team Ninja did a terrible…
Fair enough. There are fans of the game, like yourself. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. You're allowed to love it. I'm allowed to hate it.
If all that matters to you is review scores, Other M is the lowest-scoring Metroid game.
I wasn't trying to attack you. Simply stating that there was more than one person who didn't like Other M, and supporting my opinion with a well-balanced argument in a video.
