I love the original Hotline Miami but I'm not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.


Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that's because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas' ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell's house.

Ravenholm in Half Life 2 cause I get scared. Why yes. You are correct, I am a wussy little piss baby.

Every game should have a tutorial skip.

Like, I'm on my first BG3 campaign and I can tell that I'm going to get annoyed when I have to play that ship intro again.

Unless there's a way to skip it that I don't know about.

Half Life: Xen. All of it. I hate it

Super Mario RPG: Having to jump up to nimbus land fucking sucks

Chrono Trigger: First time going to the Dark Ages before Kajar/Enhasa..just boring really

Have you played Black Mesa? I felt it did a great job when it came to Xen. Probably one of my favorite parts of the game

[โ€“] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'll echo OP and say that if you haven't tried Black Mesa, I highly recommend it. The xen intro is breathtaking in my opinion.

I second this. I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of Xen in Black Mesa. I really feel like they really did justice to what the original devs could have accomplished if they had more time.

I haven't been so fully engrossed in a game like that since... Well Half Life Alyx I guess. Truly a great feeling.

I'm playing Starfield right now and I know I'm going to HATE the mission "Entangled" every time.

In Final Fantasy 12, that world in the desert with circular platforms, it was really a pain.

Final Fantasy X, that lightning field.

Dragon age origins : That lagoon in the middle of the desert where you need to search for crystals. The place is a labyrinth.

Mass Effect Trilogy : NOTHING.

For Mass Effect, I gotta say I hate driving anywhere in the first game.

Fallout 1. Killing my way out of 1000 rats to finally leave vault 13.

Huh? You can easily outrun them.

[โ€“] poszod@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

All you had to do was follow the damn train, cj!

hate it

I enjoy city builders like Cities: Skylines 1 and 2, or Foundation. I hate the initial crawl when you start a new city and have to micromanage everything because budget. I almost always play with unlimited money cheat enabled. It's just more relaxing that way.

[โ€“] maynarkh@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The sewer section in Vampire Bloodlines. It's a long action/combat sequence that totally does not fit with the rest of the gameplay.

The Great Tree in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the worst dungeon by far. The puzzles involve escorting a bunch of NPCs that can't jump, run away from enemies, and inconsistently break away from following Mario.

[โ€“] Sho@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

God of war tower in hades or the pandoras box level cluster.

[โ€“] _Lory98_@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

For me it's dark souls after the lordvessel. The areas in that section are the worst part of the game IMO.

Also in dmc5 I hate having to play V's missions, luckily you can skip them with the mission select, but you still have to play through them at least once when unlocking a new difficulty.

I also recently replayed cyberpunk 2077 and while I did generally enjoy the game, the ending was a slog and I had to force myself to finish it.

Doom 1993 I do not like Episode 2 very much. Episode 1 has masterful level design, and Episode 3 has the abstract hell levels that are visually interesting, even if they aren't that great to play. Episode 2 is just kind of boring. It does have the Tower of Babel tho, that's a highlight.

[โ€“] poszod@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Chapter 5 in RDR2, what were they thinking.

[โ€“] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Personal 5 Royal - Okumaru boss & End boss (vanilla).

I love this game, truly do but that particular boss is so bullshit (Okumaru)
