May 23, 2012

A short day for me.  Fell asleep around 10, slept till 1800 when Mom brought home Arby's dinner, then I made it up for a few more hours before crashing for a handful more.  Got a little in though!

Metroid: Other M (Wii): Okay, now I see what people are talking about.  I made it to the second cutscene, and Samus was suddenly robbed of her humanity by being saddled with a personality that amounts to nothing more than adolescent cliché and stereotype.  Urk.

Gameplay is fun enough at least, made it past the first boss.  It's still a pain transitioning from third to first person, both the jarring switch in perspectives as well as having to drop one hand from the controller and change grips with the other, and 3D gameplay using a digital pad is still awkward.

I'm dreading this storyline, especially reading up some reviews, but I may still beat the game eventually, it apparently only clocks in around twelve hours, with a good two of them being cutscenes.
