I hate it when I'm purposely trying to get/do/see everything in a game and somehow get thwarted.
Failing to get the Zodiac Spear in Final Fantasy XII.
Being stuck at 200.5% in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Stuck at 149 Pokemon in Red.
Final Fantasy X-2 is wrought with dead ends and missed dressspheres and grids. What a pain!
Having 7/8 of your Tier 1 epic set in WoW back in the day.
Story characters dying in games where death is permanent, being cut off from various faction quests in PC RPGs, missing overpowered characters or equipment, failing to open all the chests in a location you can only visit once, these are all anathema to me.
Why must I care so much?

I didn't scan what in the beginning?
It's easy to miss some of them, and all it takes is 1.
Fixed for me.
But thanks for letting me know to scan everything when I finally do get around to playing Metroid Prime. ;-)
I WILL NOT BE DOING 3DS FOR NWC THREAD. SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO TAKE OVER.

Also, Minish Cap. Light arrows. Fuck you Nintendo. Zelda games aren't supposed to have missable weapons. I'm fine with little figures being missable but the LIGHT ARROWS?! You guys suck. I had to replay the whole game because of those stupid things..... which actually wasn't that bad but STILL.
New Game + is your friend.
There aren't any that are at some point of no return or anything, and there's even a map that shows their locations. You'll be fine.
Now, the treasure, that'll send you into a bitter rage.
Man, those fuckin' bees, how was I supposed to know the ones coming from the two boss hives were different from all the other ones?
I mean, cripes, you can permanently lose party members without warning, and it's not like Chrono Cross where there's too many to care about.
God, it's hard enough to find the kara WITH a faq.
The only thing that unlocks is the Character Encyclopedia and Voice Library. Which lets you view the models of each Main Character and a little blurb from the developers about them, and all the battle voices.
Yeah, totally not worth it. Considering the battle voices were bad enough in the main game.

Seeing requirements like killing the HP regenerating, all damage cut in half, boss with absurdly high HP in 3 turns made me give up on them
Missed one of the bosses.
I think I was at 85% in Metroid Prime Hard Mode when I realized I had missed the Ice Shriekbat. Oh how I loathe the Ice Shriekbat. Thankfully MP is endlessly replayable.
Even still, what made it annoying was the fact that I couldn't get it at all. Normally I could at least tell myself "Eh, I'll do it eventually, just not now." But no, I couldn't even do that because instead I had to tell myself it was hopeless since I don't own a gameshark and nobody I know does either.
Incidentally, why was that monster cut out of the game in the first place? I looked online a bit but never could find out why or what the monster even looked like. Was it offensive or something?
XSEED only said they were removed for "Various Reasons." So we may never know what caused this.

I didn't take a picture of what in the beginning?
I have never gone for 100% in any game. And I don't think I've ever gotten it in any game that didn't basically force you to. Way too much work, not nearly enough reward.

Focus.
the damn clown hands on the first boss >< The only thing I missed in the entire game.
Man that was a good game. Why did I ever get rid of it....

Amen to Symphony of the Night. That game is just a perfectionist's nightmare.

The... what? Well, bugger.
Severance had the same issue if I recall - four (or more) little symbols that you had to shoot with the (optional and pretty useless otherwise) bow, otherwise the final weapon was next to useless. I had to replay the game like four times to get them all.
I missed those too. Goddamn annoying. Also from the game: I thought I'd beat the last storyline boss, then go and build both character's stats and get all the best weapons and whatnot. And it turns out one of them isn't available for the bonus chapter. :x
I get the feeling I'm going to be stuck on Shonen Heart when it comes time to S-Rank Ouendan 2.
