Because I love me some Metroid, and always love talking about it.
I'm playing Prime 2 through at the moment, on Hypermode Difficulty, and it's sort of amazing how difficult this game can get without feeling like it's outright unfair about it. I've played it a few times before, but it's been a while since I've tackled it on a harder setting. Good times.
But one other reason I wanted to make this thread was to address wyokid's claims of Metroid: Other M being awesome. I know there are apolo- er, fans out there, and I'm really curious as to why. I find precisely nothing about that game awesome. It was a mediocre game - and awful Metroid game - with a story that character assassinated the protagonist of the series while being both derivative (of Metroid Fusion) and poorly told.
I mean, yes, it's in third person, and if one REALLY hated the Prime games then that might be considered a victory, but surely Metroid means more to fans than a visual perspective.
