this is overblown. isaac has less than fifteen seconds of dialogue in this clip and his exposition was originally stated by his radio contacts anyway

if he’s constantly muttering to himself or bringing up the radio every other room then we’ll have reason to worry

I should post on the Something Awful forums. I can open them from my web browser. Alright, now to pick a thread. Hm... The post button should be at the bottom. Now I gotta write my post. And... Done. Alright, I'd better send this post so people can see it. There we go, post sent. I should check in later to see if it got any replies.

The only time a silent protagonist (that's not just silent because there's nothing to say) has ever been good is when their speech is implied rather than them being literally just mute for some reason, which only works for a very specific kind of game.

Good: "What's that Link? You say you Princess Zelda sent you? Okay then, you can pass."

Bad: "This man was at the crime scene next to the body, he must be guilty! Take him away!" *says nothing and gets thrown in the dungeon with absolutely no protest whatsoever*

It's funny to think that no one would have expected an excellent 2D Metroid to be what was out for the Switch at this point and yet here we are.
