Why did it suck?

It didn't though.
It was basically Super Metroid 3D World
>>336062208
bait
>>336062093
Gameplay is pretty solid, but it still ruined the exploration that defines a metroid game. That and they gave Samus' every day mission detailed story.
>>336062093
Except it didn't
have you ever looked at metroid and see food

Nonsensical story, linear design, boring environments, no new power ups or creative anything in general. Being stuck to the sideways wii remote only meant awkward controls and 8-way movement. Exploration was boiled down to trying to find your way to glowing orbs in each (corridor-like) room.
The entire post final boss segment is made into a gruelling ordeal because a single door is closed for no reason. That's just a peeve of mine.
Samus being terrified of Ridley to the point of being frozen to the ground
Samus needing Anthony "Remember me?" Higgs to rescue her
Samus deciding to jeopardize her life and her mission just to obey Adam who isn't even her superior or her client
Samus monologuing endlessly
Game never stops beating you over the head with the mother / baby theme
First person missile controls are clunky, and clearly tacked on as a cheap attempt to placate Prime fans
Samus spends way too much time prancing around in the Zero Suit which for some reason has high heels now
Samus has a mole now
First version of the game had a savegame breaking bug

Without even mentioning the story, Metroid Other M commits the cardinal sin of locking doors behind you purely to force you to advance the plot as soon as possible.
In every other Metroid game, on your first run through a zone, when you see a place you can't reach, you make a note of it and come back when you have a major item that might help.
Here, you are confined to a single zone until Adam tells you to move on. You can't backtrack at your leisure, which means a lot of minor items can be missed. You don't get another chance to collect them until the post-game.
When the world opens up in the post-game, there's a sense of emptiness as you realize how generic and repetitive the environments are, like a movie set after the cast and crew have gone home.
Because that's what Metroid Other M is: a movie that occasionally requires you to press buttons.
It was boring, it was sexist, and it was literally what people think of when they say Final Fantasy XIII.

Nigga, a SJW should hate this game.
It makes a strong female character and one of the most iconic female protagonists in video games into a sniveling retard who is completely subservient to a man and constantly gets saved by other men.
the baby

Different anon, well SJWs thinks she's a man, so that makes what they say automatically shit.
It had a movie mode.
Enough said.

>no exploration, even locks doors behind you for no reason
>fucking awful story, that is unskippable (unless you're masochistic enough to do a second playthrough)
>ruined Samus
>bad artstyle
>no new upgrades
>boring environments
>shit controls
>so terrible that it basically destroyed Metroid
>>336062093
It would have been okay if there was some exploration

Gameplay could be considered passable, but really all you did in most fights was mash D-Pad to dodge everything.
>>336065408
This would be a nice relationship for Samus and Adam to have. The seemingly unstoppable force of good that is Samus getting help from the seemingly immovable wall of the law that is Adam.
A Batman and Jim Gordon kinda thing.
