Yeah. Random violence and killing everyone for no reason other than one's own greed is a plot worthy of Grand Theft Auto. Not Metroid. This isn't Metroid Prime: Hunters. This is Grand Theft Auto: Magic Space Gem. |

Have you been to their website? The plot is a poor excuse to put Samus on a world with a bunch of other big bad guys to blow the crap out of, the characters are ill-concieved and genuinely stupid, every last one of them being a walking cliche, the whole thing reeks of a desperate excuse for the Metroid series to profit off the multiplayer rage. |

Well, I do. My problem, as I said before, is not that the plot doesn't tie in to the main story. My problem is that the plot, like 95% of games designed solely for the multiplayer feature, is half-assed and stupid. Because you're not supposed to look into the game for the solo feature, they dont' care about giving us a good, strong story. It's being made just so you can run around blowing the crap out of your friends with Samus, and that's not what Metroid is about. The multiplayer craze has gone far enough. You want random, meaningless destructive violence so you can blow the crap out of your friends? Go play Halo and leave my Samus alone, so she can go back to good, solo fun. |

You know, TECHnically, that's probably just how the plot starts out. Like how in Metroid Prime, the plot is that you're responding to the Orpheon's distress signal. Or how in Eternal Darkness, the plot is that you're trying to find out who killed your grandfather. It's actually a little sad that this isn't apparent to anyone else. |

I agree with you on that, and hopefully I was right on Online play being like rumble packs during the N64, PSX generation and will be there but won't be a huge deal. |

Looks as if JayDee's blowing up of Bomberman's store has had some REALLY nasty side effects. I mean... just... what the hell...? As if Sephiroth the Hedgehog fucking up and taking over the Sonic series wasn't bad enough. Now Bomberman is a friggin' Master Chief ripoff... |

Well, we've had Shadow the goth Sonic clone, Megaman Angst, and Dark and Gritty Prince of Persia and Zelda. Why not add Bomberman to the list? |

Actually, we've not yet had the dark gritty Zelda. And won't till November apparently. If you will all excuse me, I'm going to go find somewhere to cryogenically freeze myself for the next eight months. |

Hey, I like Dark and Gritty Prince of Persia...and where the heck do you get "MegaMan Angst"? Do I need to break out the sledgehammer and start beating the definition of "angst" into y'all's heads again? |

I'm probably going to be burned at the stake for this, but... I'm glad Zelda's being delayed. Since OOT, I've not felt that "spark" that I usually get when I play Zelda games. MM was fun, but was seem far and removed from what made OOT so great. Also...only four dungeons? LAME. I was highly disappointed with WindWaker. It remains, to date, the only Zelda game I've never finished. The ocean travel was just too tedious. Delaying Twilight Princess gives them time to make this a truely remarkable game, even for the Zelda franchise. Also, this means I have time to FULLY enjoy KH2 without feeling somewhat bad for completely and totally ignoring TP, because no game can come out that will keep KH2 out of my hands for the next several months. |

I agree about Wind Waker and Majora's Mask. Personally, I loved Adult Link in OOT much more than Kid Link. I was so disappointed when they decided to do a sequel and cut Adult Link out of it. |

I liked Majoras Mask and Wind Waker a whole lot, actually. Sure, having young Link in both was disappointing, and the whole Cel shaded thing made me waver a moment or so at first...But they are great games in their own right. |

Ehh, Young Link vs Adult Link didn't really bother me that much...My problem is with the games themselves. In MM, you could cut out all the Zelda stuff, insert new, original characters, and still have a perfectly workable game. Wind Waker? Traveling by ocean sucked. The End. |

Outside of Smash Bros games, Adult Link has been too neglected and I'd like to see a game that has him in again instead of Young Link. I didn't care much for Wind Waker either after I'd finished it. I felt a bit cheated that it was so short. Could've done with at LEAST two more dungeons. |
