I heard that Metroid other M got a lot of negative reviews not because of the bad gameplay(which was not bad) but because Samus was turned into a stereotypical weak female living in a mans world. at least according to some feminist sounding Reviewers on G4 and Ign. One of which is Morgan Webb, the famous female reviewer from X-Play. and I gotta say I don't trust her or X-Play in general for their reviews or opinions before...Now I know not to trust them after hearing this review.(which by the way this review was written by a girl named Abbie Heppe from the X-Play writers) Morgan Webbs Reviewafter face palming myself countless times because of this review I find this sites explanation of why these people think that Metroid Other M has killed Samus as a cold hard bounty hunter and gives a sane non-sexist explanation as to why. Screw Attacks AnswerNow after watching both videos, who's side do you take is Other M really sexist or are the reviewers just over reacting? Commence Discussions

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Frankly, I think it's just a chick who had a hard life. 'Nuff said. Now whether or not John-117 was a victim of the totalitarian war machine. . .that's a different story.

I have no problem with her having insecurities and fears. It makes her more amazing that she has the courage to keep fighting despite all of that.

I saw the review a few days ago. I laughed. Laughed hard.
As to destroying Samus' image...... The emotional scenes were fine. Really. People Like to say that she is a "cold", "badass" bounty hunter, yes. But she IS human. Reading people write/say that Samus was some teenage girl writing in her diary is going a bit over board.
Now as to not activating her Varia Suit (Or any other powerup for that matter) in the when needed, because she wasn't given the "Okay" to do so is very un-Samus like.
