Hmmm.....

Hey all!

Alright, so I just watched Abby Heppe's review on Metroid: Other M. I have to say first of all that I am not in full agreement with her on how horrid the game was. Yes there was a few things that I would have to agree with, they did sexitize her a little bit in this game. I just don't think it was as bad as they make it out to be in her review. And yes the mechanics need a lot of work, they didn't flow as nicely as they should have with the Wii Remote. They gave her a feminine side, is that so horrible?? Why can't she be a strong woman, and still be a woman. That's what she is after all. I am a gamer yes, but I pride myself on being a girl. That includes make up and everything else that makes me a girl. I do agree that she shouldn't have been so subservient to Adam, but you also have to remember she does follow him out of respect and love. And because he is her commander, anyone in the military will tell you that you HAVE to follow orders, you may not like the orders but you have to follow them. She is still the strong woman she was I mean come on the guys she teams up with are getting in trouble and who saves their asses?? Samus! And lastly, what is the problem with her voice being girly?? I am 23 years old, I still sound like a little girl most the time. When I answer the phone half the time people will actually ask me, "Is your mommy home?" -_- And having heard her voice myself, I have to say that she doesn't sound all that much like a little girl. I honestly think that I sound more like a little girl then her. Some girls just have voice like that, is it so wrong?? I should hope not. :P

I am not saying that Abby is wrong in her views on the contrary I agree with her right to be offended. I just don't see how it is so horrible for Samus to come a little more into her feminine side. I know that even we girl gamers like to get dressed up and feel pretty every now and then.

Wii Games - E3 2011 - Metroid: Other M

Edit: (7 Sept 2010) I was watching G4 today and saw the trailer for Metorid: Other M again, and it just reinforced what I am trying to say here. Samus' past is what makes her, her. It is not something she can run from. It is something that she has to embrace.

"My past is not a memory, its a force at my back. It pushes and steers. I may not always like where it leads me but like any story the past needs resolution."

Peace.Love.&.Gaming.
