What's strange about that is in order to have that idea he's got to be stuck in the period it was announced and never even looked at the games. Yes, the Prime Trilogy are "FPS" games but they aren't designed like CoD or anything like that. Structurally they are designed exactly how Metroid typically is but in a 3D space. Besides the 3rd person perspective and being way more linear, Other M isn't far removed either.
That's basically the equivalent of assuming Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is about trying to bang lolis with giant anime tits because you saw an "RPG" like that once.
