Well, all I ever wanted to do was beat it before you did (because I started the game first).  Now that I have, I'm perfectly satisfied. giggle;

[spoiler]even if i started months before you and only finished hours before you will sillydood;[/spoiler]

also that was seriously the most difficult segment of any video game i've ever played

that includes demon's souls, zelda 2, the early mega man games, etc.

[spoiler]also where's nyerp tomatoes;[/spoiler]

I did, but I only moved on to other games out of frustration from The Perfect Run. myface;

before that final star it was the only game i'd been playing sillydood;

lol i wonder if nyerp is trying girl;

but yeah, there are tons of games that are otherwise great except for shitty levels...and an overwhelming amount of shitty levels are underwater ones. or have something to do with water.

like, i love re4, but fuck the lake monster. for the longest time i did NOT know you could easily just steer around him when he turns around and comes back at you, so i would always get hurt a lot even though i'd rarely die, so it was a waste of healing items.

super metroid is my favorite game ever, but maridia can be SUCH a pain sometimes

a lot of people would mention oot's water temple. i guess i would too, although i never found it confusing like other people do...but it's still annoying simply because of how unbearably slow it is and how you have to keep going into the menu to switch boots

though if i were to play it today i'd probably notice things that could have been done better i guess

a long and considerably difficult (for mario standards) course in smg2 in which there are no checkpoints and you have only one hit point

i don't know, they're awfully easy to take down once you've figured out HOW to, and although i seem to recall them having guns on them, they won't really aim at you if you're high enough up i think

idk i just really don't remember having trouble at all and i was on hard mode

my least favorite portions of the game were actually the more annoying side quests, like the "walk the dogs" one where you had to escort criminals to police stations, or the ones where you had to follow couriers

It was just really annoying how few buildings were high enough for you to jump off and reach them. Not to mention the stupid citizens attacking you on ground.
