Well… played Metroid prime 4 and most of the game was okay. Not nearly as good as Prime 1 or Dread and worse than Prime 2 or 3. Now I’m close to the end and it turns out that what looked like an optional side quest for upgrades or whatever (collecting green crystals) is actually required to complete the game.

And worst of all: that dumb NPC who gives out hints every step of the way and long before you need them didn’t mention that.

Not gonna complete the game now because this would probably take an hour or two mindlessly collecting crystals in the worst area of the game: the desert that makes hyrule field from ocarina of time look exciting.

Pretty disappointing that this is all we got after all those years :(
