Dreaded parts in games.

[The Nightman]

The Crazy Gadget level in Sonic Adventure 2.

[Shoolis]

Assassin's Creed 2

the wall of light desynch thing in Venice.

Also missing the social QTEs

He must be late

We have so much to discuss...

Yes, lets.
Look, I know Ocarina of Time is considered to be the greatest thing to grace this Earth, and I respect that. Its impact on gaming was huge and it paved the way for modern action-RPG's. However, the actual game itself is, in a word, nmnyegh.
Ocarina was the first of its kind, so natrually it had some flaws. Oh, boy, this game has its flaws. So, let's list them all, shall we?

Ocarina of Time's secrets were all easy to find/get to, and most of them were just fairy fountains or something.

The Water Temple. Yes, I know it's tedious having to pause and unpause just to change boots (another flaw), but it is too dark in there and you can't see what's going on.

The difficulty seems inconsistent at times. I'm stuck in Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly because BIGOCTO IS IMPOSSIBLE.

There's bodaciously a cutscene for everything (something they still need to fix). Playing a cutscene when you open a big chest makes sense, but kicking open a small chest EVERY SINGLE TIME?! There's even a scene for the item you get inside every single time. Yes, they're Deku Seeds. Yes, I know what they do. Don't remind me.

The passage of time really bugs me. Once it turns to night, there's bodaciously nothing to do for five straight minutes. The worst part is, time doesn't pass when you're in a town. Majora's Mask fixed this by having the time flow constantly. Plus, you can actually do things at night.

Z-targeting can be a bit annoying, especially when trying to use the boomerang.

Escort missionnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I'm sure I can think of more reasons, but hey Ocarina of Time isn't that good.

[Shoolis]

I ain't give a fuck

[Xylitol]

Playing SMT:Nocturne for the first time and I made it to Kabukicho prison. This place is really disorienting and I can tell it'll take a long while until I've learned the layout and can actually progress past it.

[Shoolis]

The fucking book bonus dungeon from Tales of Symphonia

[Terraem]

The final dungeon of Breath of Fire II because it's long and hella hard.

[Ablu2]

All of Jak 2.

Actually, scratch that. When I'm playing Jak 2 and it freezes. Goodbye two hours of going through some of the most difficult missions in the game.

I don't think I can improve on that, so here are some story concerns:

Its story has some good ideas but is generally implemented so poorly. Characters seem to do things because they are supposed to, not due to any particular motivation.

Chosen one stories are inherently lazy. That's what makes The Wind Waker the best story-wise in the series.

The bizzare fate of Twinrova (as pointed out in one of Katie's early comics).

Adult Link has zero character - he doesn't feel remotely like the younger version you've been playing as. He's just some guy replacing the protagonist.

But back to dreaded parts in games:

I've been replaying Resident Evil 4 on Professional and the first chapter of the church is incredibly annoying. Constantly trying to protect Ashley from monks coming from all sides at once? And if you try and move away, she just crouches down in the middle of the horde. Why exactly do I want to save this girl? She's clearly too dumb to live.

Also scaling Mt. Coronet in Pokemon Diamond. Repels have no effect, and then the inevitable tunnel of Plasma Grunts before Dialga. Teeedious.

[Rinoko]

Bowletta's freaking castle in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Some of the puzzles and challenges are just tedious as heck and I can never figure out the timing for the enemies' attacks in that place.

[wordNumber]

I always felt Joke's End more.
All that splitting up, and that music…
And the boss.


Actually my least favorite part of that game is near the beginning where you don't have access to the castle town shops because there is little margin for error most of the time, and also because it lasts forever (until you fight the soda boss guy).

[Kamak]

My least favorite was the final boss.

Seriously, fucking avoiding all of those attacks annoyed the shit out of me.

[wordNumber]

Yeah, the whole "Start with 1hp" thing was a bit much.

Superstar Saga is still one of my favorite Mario RPG, even though it has all these super hard bits. It's just so charming.

OH GEEZ I FORGOT ABOUT THE SPLITTING UP.

You're right, Joke's End was the worst.

[Otherwise]

Ocarina was the first of its kind, so natrually it had some flaws. Oh, boy, this game has its flaws. So, let's list them all, shall we?

Horseback archery, flaws redressed. Granted there wasn't much opportunity to use it but all that time spent trying to get a perfect score at the Gerudo range more or less made up for everything.

On track though: the damnable dam level in the NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Look it up.
