Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is finally available to the public after eight years of waiting, but there is one part of the game that almost no one is happy about: Samus' latest sidekick, Myles MacKenzie. The chatty companion is by far the most controversial aspect of the recent Nintendo release, and people are not shy in speaking out about their annoyance, going as far as to share tips on how to shut him up.

If you visit the Metroid subreddit, you will see plenty of threads discussing Samus' new pal, and very few people have anything nice to say. The closest I found to a compliment was someone writing, "I think I kinda like Myles… I’m sorry," before the comments quickly and passionately disagreed.
