All of those, yes.

And I'd add much of the 3rd act of Metal Gear Solid 4. Lucky it's followed by my favorite act. :)

Wow how has Blighttown not been mentioned yet? Such a fucking terrible place, it was lacking the artistic flair of the rest of the game, the enemies were obnoxious, the environment was a clusterfuck of brown and green... Oh and let's not forget you need to go through The Depths to get there, in your first playthrough at least. Frying pan and fires I swear.

Thank god you can use the little back entrance to dodge the entire area and rush the boss who is thankfully the only good thing about the area. Seriously there is no reason to go to The Depths once you walk in and rescue that Pyromancer guy who is in the first room. Unless you really want to fight the easiest boss in the game that badly.

I wonder how much of Dark Souls you can dodge to still beat the game? Isn't there like a 30 minute speed run somewhere? BRB Youtube.

Orzammar + The Deep Roads in Dragon Age Origins.

I love the game, and Orzammar itself isn't terrible, but the whole Orzammar line main quest is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too long. Especially the Deep Roads.

It's late where I am so I'll make mine quick, the Tomb of Giants from Dark Souls. Now give me yours.
God fucking damn.

I made it all the way to Nito once, and it took me like two and a half hours just to make my way down. By the time I actually got to him, I was in no condition to fight, so I left. I went through the Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith, and stumbled upon the Sunlight Maggot helmet.

I walked back down to Nito and killed him in all of thirty minutes. Not only could I see the path, I could see shortcuts and, thank Christ, a second bonfire.

I hate most anything in Assassin's Creed that isn't running around. I hated the stupid tower-defense shit, I hated the stupid boat battles.

Don't worry, we know how good it is. The others will just miss out. We know how amazingly awesome that atmosphere is.

OT: Level 3 of Star Wars Dark Forces. Holy shit, it has to be the worst sewer level ever. And the trash squids! Nothing but jump scare monsters!

The mini games in Sly Cooper. Having fun platforming? Well, time to stop and do a mandatory no-errors-allowed speedboat section! I hope you like retrying a boring, dull level twenty times!

The Fade in Dragon Age: Origins
Yup, this is probably mine. I love DA:O to bits, I've played through it with all the DLC and the expansion multiple times... but when I realize the Fade is coming up I kind of die a little inside. It's ultimately just far too long a section. It probably takes less time to complete the rest of the Mage's Tower than it does to complete the Fade, especially if you're a completion-ist like me - all those +1 stats are such a pain in the ass to find. Plus all the puzzles aren't challenging, they're more like annoying obstacles opposed to fun challenges.

At least it's kind of fun to run about as a mouse.

A couple little parts of Kingdom Hearts 1, mostly the part in atlantica where you need to wait for the randomly generated dolphin to appear so you can get to the last boss of the level.

Also, the parts in caves in the original pokemon games... and ice areas... god damn I hate pokemons puzzles. I love them, cause they offer something different from the main game but I still kind of hate them.

Oblivion: Main quest- meeting in the sewers put me off from doing main quest for the first time.

Last battle scenes from AC1- those didn't happen.

chasing sequences in the first spiderman game.

Deep roads in Dragon Age springs to mind too.

Strategy games where you have to protect X for Y amount of time.

The baseball game in Lollipop Chainsaw. All. My. Hate.
I hear this a lot is there more than one instance of it? I am up to the last dark purveyor and have only played this game once and must have got lucky I had more trouble with the second basketball game and especially the last game in the videogame arcade place where you have to make your way up the screen not touching anything as its instant death damn that pissed me off.

Final bosses of almost all fighting games in existence but especially Seth and Alpha 152 from SSF4 and DOA4 oh and the annoying one from KOF XIII is in there as well these pretty much ruined the singleplayer for me.

The bike level in battletoads loved the first two levels but damn that bike level kills the game dead I think I only ever got past it once.

QTE in god of war and its sequels just completely wore me down it seemed to kill any enemy I had to do another frikkin qte and dont mess em up on the bosses or you will be punished hard, didnt finish GOW 2 until the 3rd one came out because of it.

The flood in Halo 2 its not really a section but there inclusion was the reason I never replayed the campaign just cant stand fighting them.

Endurance race sections in Burnout 3 the rubber banding AI is complete bullshit here completely broke the game for me how can I get overtaken by a car I smashed 2 seconds ago when I have boost on and am going top speed on a straight, yeah never played the game after that.

The parts in Atlantica in Kingdom Hearts 2. At least in the first game it was fun and there was proper gameplay and fighting, and the underwater fighting was a nice change of pace and gave a new dimension to the gameplay. But in the second game, what do we get? A fucking karaoke contest between Ariel and Sora. Rhythm games. If I wanted to play that I'd get Guitar Hero or Rock Band, which have the added advantage of actually having fun and enjoyable songs in them...

Also, I actually loved The Library in Halo. And Cortana in Halo 3. Those missions on Legendary mode, for me, are the true test of a gamer's skill at Halo - and I aced them both. Hell yeah.

Apart from what has been mentioned already:

- The shout-people-to-death section in Condemned 2. Give me back my melee combat.
- Mexico in Red Dead Redemption. It dragged on waaay toooo looong.
- The gunfights in Sleeping Dogs. Stick to melee combat please.
- Hydro in TF2. Goddamn that map.
- The backtracking sections in Borderlands 2. Pretty annoying.
- Getting the keys in Metroid Prime 1 and 2. Also pretty annoying.

As someone who raised turtling to an art those are the few missions I actually excell at.

Any part of any game where I have to escort someone. I still do not understand how game developers still think escorting dipshit NPC's is fun

Baldur's Gate 2 - The starting dungeon.

By Moradin's Hammer I'm glad the Dungeon Be Gone mod exists.

I think its safe to say that in any game EVER, water and sewer levels ruin the experience... or at least that portion of the game is crap and a chore to get through

This. Oh so very much this. Trudging through endless dull caverns in the obligatory dwarf section - which happens to be the least inspired of all fantasy tropes - only to discover... yet more endless dull caverns. And yet more.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it... Even the fucking Fade is way better than this.
