Do the companions in Metroid Prime 4 Beyond ruin the isolation?

The old Prime games were all about being alone on a planet, so hearing that Beyond has squadmates chatting at you put me off a bit. For anyone who's played it, how often do they actually show up and talk?

Mostly at the start for me. Once you're out in the wider areas there are long stretches with nobody talking and it felt like Metroid again.

Depends what you went in wanting. If the lonely, scan-everything feeling of the first game is what Metroid means to you, then yes, having people on the radio and around you takes some of that away and I get why it bugs people. I'd say it hurts most in the early hours though. Once you're off exploring on your own for long stretches it gets closer to the old feel. Did it bother you the whole way or mostly at the start?
