People who think mental illness = weakness don't have a respectable opinion, but I'd say there are other reasons to criticize that scene. It relies on knowledge from another source to make sense, so a player who isn't familiar with that will have no idea why Samus is disturbed by Ridley this one time only.

I think the scene could've been received well if it could stand on its own, or if the game used some of its hours of bland monologuing to build it up more. But just looking at it in context it's delivered pretty badly.
