Title: Shitty levels/missions that completely destroy otherwise great games.
Post by: ncba93ivyase on March 29, 2008, 03:02:52 PM
Level 4 in Sinistron. You have to navigate an asteroid field with your hugeass ship, and half of the asteroids shoot at you.  Okay, this is difficult but it's okay in the first half even though they can take an assload of hits. When you get to the second half of the level, shooting at an asteroid will send it flying in your direction. The worst part is these asteroids can take about twice as many hits as a normal asteroid, making it impossible to get through. Also, you have like some yellow jaws on your ship that are invincible to everything (but if you open them or if something  moves in on them a certain distance it can touch your innards and kill you), and if you open these up to get a wider shot, your jaws might touch an asteroid and it'll get pulled over to you and crash. You also have some sort of charge up shot that'll unleash a small ring of fury around your ship, but some asteroids can take more damage than others so you can destroy one in front of you but one you just passed and is pretty much entirely off screen will come crashing into your ship. The game would've been perfect aside from this and I just can't possibly beat it. If it wasn't for the attraction of these rocks to my ship, it'd be bearable and they could even double the number of asteroids.

Also, the racing missions in GTA San Andreas piss me off. It always feels like you're dricing on ice, and missions that are like "DRIVE AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN BUT WITHOUT DAMAGING YOU CAR" really pissed me off. The ones where you had to pilot those toy planes or whatever are the absolute worst and I didn't even finish the last one and it's the only mission I didn't complete.

Also, any sort of "take this useless, dumbass character to some place without them get kidnapped, raped, and eaten."

Maybe it's just me, but I found nothing annoying or difficult about Tales of Symphonia.

LITTLE FUCKING SISTER ESCORT CRAP IN BIOSHOCK

Main reason why I'm too lazy to play the game on hard mode.

I actually forgot to name that. caterpie;

I switched the game into easy mode just to get through that horrid segment. Once I got past it, I put it in normal.

I'm surprised I'm the first here to say the Triforce shard collecting in Wind Waker.

Also my suggestion is any parts of Gears of War where you are forced to split up. Especially if you are playing Co-op.

I didn't need that.

I actually found a couple through normal gameplay and got the rest later on

I'm just saying it's "shitty", not that it takes way too much skill (which it doesn't).

The damn key collecting towards the end of Metroid Prime 2.  :|
Same with the energy cells in MP3

Except it wasn't a huge issue as I had collected about 2/3 of the energy cells over my regular exploration, and I think I already had half of those keys in MP2 before I even needed them.

Triforce collecting in Windwaker (FUCKING SHIT ALMOST RUINED THE GAME FOR ME)
Tedious outside missions in RPG's that force you to do some dumb interactive puzzle outside of the battle gameplay.
FUCKING ARTHOROSAURUS MINI GAME IN LOST ODYSSEY

Metroid Prime 3:Corruption- That huge annoying fetch quest. In fact, any game with that annoying "backtrack for the missing items" shit ruin games. Make us get them while we are there. Back tracking isn't fun.

Then don't play Metroid games. They're all about backtracking.

Anyway, I also hated the Triforce Quest, even though the game overall started fizzling out around the middle.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl's great maze

Wind Waker's Triforce shards treasure hunt

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption's collecting crap

Metal Gear Solid's key crap though not as annoying as the top three so far

Anything with a time limit. Idk, but those always stress the hell out of me and I end up failing because I try too hard.

Zelda: TP, that stupid hand shit. I knew I forgot something I hated about that game.

Though not hard, just annoying.
