Metroid Other M was the worst game I've ever played.
I know there's worse games out there, like Fester's Quest and Duke Nukem Forever, but no game has made me this furious. Unfortunately, I'd just be parroting other people's opinions, since I have many of the complaints. I'll just put them in quick bullet points.
(SPOILERS)
Authorization system is bupkis, leads to one of the stupid scenes (hell run, no Varia)
Ridley scene. Despite the realism of PTSD, it doesn't fit how Samus reacted before.
Both are symptoms that show a romanticized abusive relationship between Samus and Adam.
Double-layer disc means some consoles have problems reading it (see below).
Gameplay is decent, but a bit clunky. However, something odd happened.
I had beaten the final boss on a previous playthrough and I was just getting my last two items. After I got the last one and saved, the Wii's disc reader broke.
Other M has ensured I can't play any of my good Wii games unless I pay for a repair. This game has earned a grudge from me that I've never felt for a piece of fiction before.
So awful, it broke my console.
