Most of the end-game areas in Dark Souls are pretty bad. The Duke's Archives is one of my favourite locations, but then it leads onto the boring Crystal Cave.
The Tomb of the Giants is also frustrating because it's so dark.
The Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith are just terrible, filled with lava and endless bosses. They also don't have any of the interconnectivity found in most of the game.

all the damn poison and the giant mosquitoes are so hard to hit with a spear and when i take out my bow(if you know what i mean) something else will suddenly jump at me. at least the boss is easy.
the rickenbacher in system shock 2, i don't mind that i don't have a map but when i save in there and stop playing for a few days i usually end up just going to the lift and checking on every fucking egg
honest hearts in fallout NV
i like all the dlc and i love the look of the area but aside since i tend to favor energy and explosive weapons there is nothing in the DLC for me and while the story is nice i find tribal conflict just not as interesting as sneaking through a creepy ass villa.

The bit with the two tallboys at the end of the flooded district in dishonoured.
I've been through dishonoured at least three times now, trying different ways to play it, and this section always annoys me. It's a wide open space. An electrified bridge crosses it, with empty buildings by the side. Thing is, the tallboys will probably spot you even in the buildings because they're...well, tall. Combat with tallboys is possible, but insanely difficult. I don't think i've ever managed to take down two in the same area. They would seem to have a weak point at the back with the highly explosive whale oil tank, but I've never been able to get it to go in one shot. For me, it's always came down to getting as close as possible to the other side, and legging it.
Hell, the entire game kinda gets a downer put on it by the arrival of the tallboys. Ground level cover is no longer a wise option, as one unpredicted movement by a tallboy'll have you spotted as easily as if you were strolling down the street with weapons drawn, thus dulling the main selling point of dishnoured, and the reason I've played it so many times considering I got it under a month ago; The variety of choices in how you play.

The entirety of the fighting in Dragon Age 2. It was a decent game with a good story concept, and decent characterization in your companions. That part of it makes me want to love the game. But the combat... The freaking combat... oh my god was it bad. I'm including the repeating dungeons in this, since those are mostly there for combat, but even not including those all it was was super-jump like a ninja from one guy to the other, rinse, repeat. There was no possibility for tactical maneuvering, placement of your companions, or anything. Within ten seconds it always devolved into a mass of respawning enemies that come at you from all angles and you're just doing the same things over and over again. I want to like the game, I really, really do, but that entire mechanic is just so tedious that I can't play through even the first level again without putting it down. There were good parts to the game, and there were parts that could be improved, but it was SO. BAD.
Dragon age origins: the fade (big surprise)
Halo 2: Believe it or not the most frustrating level in the entire Halo franchise for me was not the Library level or the Cortana Level, but the Cairo station level on legendary from Halo 2. What pissed me off about that level was the section where the boarding crafts start spitting out troops. There are two areas where this happens. The first area isn't too hard, but you still end up using most of your ammo. This makes the next area nearly fucking impossible. The elites take so much damage and dish out so much so quickly that the only weapons that are effective are the battle rifle, plasma pistol, and plasma grenades. Unfortunately the elites keep dodging all my plasma shots and grenades that the only way to hit them with the two is up close which is suicide. Most of the time I ran out of ammo by the time the final wave of elites showed up. It took me nearly two hours just to beat that one section.
Modern Warfare 2: the mission where you download and retrieve the data from the terrorist hideout (veteran difficulty). After you retrieve the data you have to get to the extraction point. The problem this that the area you have run across is wide open and you have enemies swarming you from the front and back. All you can do is constantly sprint and hope the enemy doesn't hit you. It was simply luck that got me through that part and nothing else.

i dont mind the deep roads so much, its just they are long and punishing so if you didnt stock up on health potions then at times you have to go all the way back to the begining of the section to use the fast travel to get some potions/ingredientsThe_Waspman said:
also Taris in KotOR, it just dragged on
also Mannan (sp?) in KotOR, i seem to keep getting turned around and getting lost
The elevator section in Prince of Persia: Sands of time.
You're trapped in a small space as dozens of big sand monsters start spawning in, and all the while you have protect Farah, the girl made of wet newspaper.
I'm surprised so many people hated the Deep Roads in DA:O. I fucking loved that section. Going deeper and deeper down the depths of the Earth was a thrilling sensation. I didn't even mind the Fade that much - It presented me with a some easy skill points. The Elven section I hated though, but then I simply hate the elves in DA:O period.

I don't want to say I hated the level or thought it was necessarily bad, I just had great difficulty as a younger me getting through this level.
That would be the Water Temple in Orcarina of Time. As a child I always got stuck at both the water temple and the fire temple, but atleast in the fire temple I could make it to the boss. The water temple would kick my ass all day.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the level in cod 4 where you have to defend an area and wait for an evac chopper. It was really fun and easy on normal but on veteran it was just plain suicide. With the endless bots with their stupid infinite grenades blasting my hiding places and instakilling me over and over again. Not to mention the time limit that you have to get Macmillan (?) to the chopper when it finally arrives.
