Uh no, actually there are some connections. It is always a different Link, but the same Hyrule. Check the AVGN's Video on it.

So yeah, bump for shocking news.


Other M sucks.


That is all, gentlemen.

Other M sucks.

But does it? Personally, I thought it was great. The Hard mode was actually hard, and the bosses had epicness to spare. Yeah, the cutscenes were really long, and Samus monotones throughout the whole thing (with the exception of meeting Ridley), but I thought Nintendo had established months before the release that it was going to be more "story-centered". I'm sorry, but knowing that, you can expect to be disappointed.

And then you get people who overanalyze everything. I talked to this guy who was convinced that Adam represented Samus' freedom. Yeah. Then people were rapping on Ridley, and MB, saying that it all makes no sense that Ridley recognizes Samus if he's just a clone. I found it perfectly coherent, if you play right to the end. Yes, you occasionally need to extrapolate, or make an educated guess from the other games. Yes, I was let down by the ending. Yes, the other Galactic Federation guys are one-sided characters with no real purpose. No, it's not one of the greatest games I've ever played, but neither is it the worst.

I think Nintendo did a great job with what they were given. Seriously, I dare anybody to write up a one page account of Samus' history, using only what information can be found in the Metroid games. It might be possible, but I'm not going to waste a week of my life only to realize that it's not worth the trouble. Nintendo took that trouble and made a pretty sweet game - and for that I think something should be said.

Oh yeah it's the start of the game and I have EVERYTHING!!!

You are not autherized to use any of it!

K.

See mah point thare.

[Venexis]

Err... I knew one of you was gonna pull the "Authorization" card...

There was a reason I didn't mention it... I actually don't have a defense for that. But it does make a fair bit of sense. If Samus was able to keep all her weapons throughout the game, she could use a power bomb at the start. She uses it at the start, a bunch of people die (Remember Adam: "Which is a nice way of saying that they vaporize humans instantly"?). A bunch of people die, and there's no plot, no plot and Nintendo has a riot on their hands.

Also, I prefer the authorization to the other games, in which a sudden explosion, or Ing or something rob Samus of her abilities. Really? Why can't the bosses do that? Authorization seems a lot more probable.

[Buff_]

Authorization was a stupid idea. Throughout the whole series Samus is independent and constantly ignores her orders, yet she won't even turn on her Varia Suit to stop herself from dying. What the hell is that for? Out of respect? Yet she will ignore orders to save her life in other games. Team Ninja were probably patting themselves on the back with that idea... then find out it was utterly stupid.

[TheMMMification]

That's a stupid thing. It makes more sense that you get slammed against a wall to lose your power ups than to get authorization to use them. What happened to the cut scenes after you get to use a power up? What happened to blowing up a boss to see that important power up calling you?

[Venexis]

It IS just me...

I'm not saying I like the authorization, but half the bosses could wallop Samus into a wall a lot harder than a relatively small explosion. I'm going to stick with authorization being more plausible, but the loss of powerups does seem more... not lame.
