>Game has one little missable collectible that you're guaranteed to miss.
Last time I played through Metroid Prime, it was one of the ice bats that only appears the first time you're in Phendrana Drifts. They are exactly the same as the other bats you meet earlier, so I never even considered that they'd be counted as a new creature.

Recently started playing this for the first time, didn't notice until after like half a week of on and off playing that you could increase the speed in battles. I had played for hours on the slowest setting, which pulls the game down to a crawl.
Racked that shit up to the max and suddenly shit got a lot more bearable.

That fucking shithole where you have to find the crown early on had me stuck for way too long. It's so fucking annoying how half of everything will poison you, forcing you to save up and buy a billion cures, and then you have to find the one treasure room containing the shit you need (not a problem after the first time, but still), constantly running away from hoards of obnoxious enemies.
And when you finally get the crown, you need to go all the way back, I had my half murdered party die on the way back thrice, and one of those times it was because I figured I'd just go and return the crown to the elf king on the way back to town, upon which a boss battle started which I stood no chance against.

I'm starting to have the same shit happen on that cave with the vampire, could get down there and beat him, no problem, but then I need to be strong enough to make my way out of there too, and that's where the trouble begins.

Bottom line, this game shows little mercy.
