Is Other M THAT bad?

[Kritter]

I think the problem isn't so much the gameplay being bad, it's the story and the portrayal of Samus that people took issue with. Samus going from being a mute, badass bounty hunter to a subservient ex-military brat who is whiny and scared, won't use life saving equipment out of respect for her ex-employer and suddenly suffers from PTSD at the dumbest of moments.
