Some people hear the Dark Souls intro and go "aw yeah, now we're in for some challenging shit."

But not me.
I suffered through this.
Got 90-something percent done.
I keep listening to this music.
God-damn.
One day. One day.
Then I'll go for Dark Souls.

Dark Souls is pretty easy once you learn how to actually play the game.

Metroid Prime 2 just had poor difficulty pacing. Rather than a smooth ramp, it suffered from some pretty egregious spikes at an irregular interval. Some bosses were unnecessarily hard, followed up with a really easy boss. I think Retro just didn't have enough time to tune everything properly. Then the New Play Control version for Wii came out that made it very easy. This version was what was included in Metroid Prime Trilogy, with some minor changes.
