Hunter's is me stretching it, I guess since everybody is out to kill you, then it might be solitude, but if we're talking about the lonely atmosphere, you're not really alone, just everybody hates your guts.
I don't know what definition of solitude the Metroid fanbase has been using for years, but to me, it has meant being alone. The only Metroid game from start to finish that seems to encompass solitude is Metroid II. There is no intelligent hostile force working against her nor are there any active allies to be found on SR388. Metroid 1 is almost there, but the mission revolves around taking out the hostile presence of Mother Brain, that has a role on Zebes that makes the whole planet seem against Samus. Every other entry to me....is not about solitude, though they all do have quality moments of solitude. Regarding Federation Force, if you're playing alone, there really shouldn't be a difference between its level of solitude compared to the overall series. Anyways, solitude, in my opinion, has never been a central element of Metroid beyond 1991.

Also didn't help that nintendo's direct and E3 in general was poorly presented.. say this got revealed last E3, it would've earned more wows probably.
No it wouldn't have, my point is that the content wouldn't have earned wows at all regardless of what they did. It might have been inoffensive (or at least until they inevitably revealed they're not working on Prime 4, which would attract a lot more hate towards the game), but it certainly wouldn't wow people. But either way, the game just isn't very appealing to the fanbase at all, the idea (or at least the execution of the idea) is simply unappealing.
I think if a console Metroid game was announced along with FF people would have been more receptive of FF. I know I am excited for FF but understand others aren't.
Again, most of the fanbase probably isn't going to be receptive of the game regardless, at best they're going to tolerate it while focusing on the main series.

And that is why if another Metroid game was announced, people wouldn't be so focused on this game. The other game would be taking up space in their brain while this one came and went. Because there isn't that other game and, from the sounds of it, the next game is pretty far away it has created a lot of unjustified hate for this game.

Anyone else remember that shooter X-Com game that everyone immediately hated? I'm reminded of that.
Hopefully that means a more traditional Metroid game will be announced in the next year. Hopefully this is a better game than that shooter X-com thing. Apparently that game was kinda just a terrible Mass Effect clone.

That doesn't mean people are more receptive. Receptive means that the fanbase would have a positive impression of the game, and that's not what would happen, they'd just ignore it.

You and I never agree about anything... so lets just stop now lol

I think you're totally right. If they had said they were making Metroid Prime 4, people would be much more accepting of Federation Force. Look at Prime Pinball. That would have ripped the internet asunder if we had gone 6+ years without a normal Metroid game. But it was released in 2005 in the NA, when we got the announcement that Metroid Prime 3 was happening. No one cared because they knew they were getting what they wanted in the near future, so the spinoff was able to be taken for what it is instead of what it wasn't. I can say I think Federation Force would be pretty celebrated if right before or after it, we even just got a logo saying "Metroid Prime 4" or insert 2D metroid title here.
The problem is that there isn't a prime 4 in the works, and a 2D metroid is handled seperately from the primes. They would be lying if they said there was, and even so fans were still pissed since no prime 4 was confirmed days after the riot started.
The other part of the metroid developers announcing a 2d would sugar coat this, but the majority wouldn't even care as much as for a prime game. Plus, I doubt a 2D would come anyway, since Other M was the first and most recent nonprime game to not be 2D. They might make a regular metroid for a late wii u title or NX window launch.
Personally I was hoping they'd do something like other M for the wii u, but less talking and kinda like star fox zero, it's first person on the game pad and 3rd on the TV.
Seeing as the pitch that Nintendo now has seen from mercury, do you think that Yoshio Sakamoto would like this concept and make it a reality for a new Metroid game by removing FF?

What? If you think that Sakamoto (despite the fact that he has nothing to do with the Prime series) is going to cancel FF in favour of a game that Nintendo themselves turned down.
Every time I look at this game, more reasons why to not buy this. It's a crappy shooter with the name Metriod. The graphics look like they came from the Gamecube, the story doesn't involve Samus at all, and the music sounds like garbage. I rather play Mario hotel than this piece of dog crap. This game is nothing but a quick buck for Nintendo. I might as well buy FFXV instead.
Also, I can finally say that the Metriod franchise is finally dead.
Some random dude on Nintendo Life.
Toriel left for a while, so Freaky Fred took over her place!
Not changing this part of the signature until Nintendo announces Super Mario Sunshine 2.

...Really? You think that this looks so bad, that it makes Hotel Mario look good? You think that this makes what is to be considered one of the most absolute piece of sh*t things to ever be related to Nintendo, AND one of, if not THE absolute worst Mario game of all time, look decent? I understand you not liking the game, but for God's sakes, man! Have you even played the game? How do you know if it's that bad? @TwilightAngel: Now, now. There is that poll Konami's doing...then again, it'll most likely just result in another pachinko machine.
There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...
