Games you love to play... except for that one part!

The Vale of Shadows in Icewind Dale. It's an early area, so if you like restarting with new characters, you're going to see this one a lot. Your team is fairly low level, so has to rest often, which tends to spawn groups of skeletons, of which there are already quite enough. The game really picks up from Dragon's Eye on, but before that it's a bit of a slog.

The Witcher 3 is already one of my favourite games ever, and I've played through it 3 times. But there are some bits I don't look forward to going through again. The serial killer quest in Novigrad is cool for the first time, but after that the mystery's out of it and it's mostly just a lot of running around. It's a long quest. I also cannot stand horse racing, but I can stand open quests in my journal even less so I kinda have to do them. The big fight in the inner courtyard during the prison break quest late in the game is also a huge pain in the ass because the high amount of enemies, shooters on the walls, and the cramped conditions making the camera your worst enemy. Actually, all fights where the camera fucks you over.

Residue Processing in Half-Life. Just...ugh.

I would also like to state that those two things that crop up the most often in threads like this: the Mako and the Fade, well, I love 'em. Love 'em to bits. Highly underrated.

All of the massive, town-sized bosses in Monster Hunter.

They're just lumbering masses of damage sponges. There's no strategy or tactics when fighting them. Just wail on them for about 30 minutes (feels like hours).

Since I recently got reminded of it, Mass Effect 3.

I stop at Thessia or whatever the planet of the blue skinned ladies is again. It's not just the infamous ending, the whole earth and london sequence is pure fail and a horrible way to end the series.

I still vividly remember arriving at earth for the first time (and i had 0 outside influence affecting my judgement here, hadn't been online to see what people were saying) and having this big sense of disappointment..This is it? This is how the Me series is ending? Fighting in ugly shitty small levels gunning down the same enemies i've been doing before? The ending was just the cherry on the cake as far as i'm concerned. So yeah, whenever I replay the ME series, I always cut out before earth, then hop into the surprisingly decent multiplayer..Which is getting harder and harder to do when no one plays it.

See, I stopped there too but for a different reason.
Up until that point I had been literally stomping and slamming my way through. You see, the whole "Weapon weight affects ability cooldown" combined with a high level ported vanguard meant that you were essentially invulnerable and could wipe missions in break-neck speeds. I then proceeded, in about 10 seconds, to beat up Space-Cyborg-Samurai-Ninja-Cereal killer in a display of biotic might.

At which point "LOL CUTSCENE NO YOU WERE BEATEN BY HIM LOL OH AND HE GOT THE THING THAT YOU CAME FOR YOU WERE BEATEN LOL" despite blatantly winning in game. Just felt like I was fighting a cutscene villain.

cutscene villain

Haha yeah omg I forgot all about that. I had less problem with that sequence then most because i'm a boring sod who usually plays the soldier class and thus have no powers (what personally irks me in cutscenes is when my shep keeps using his pistol..C'mon man you're the soldier class, use your l33t assault rifle!) so didn't feel too weird when some dude who actually does have space magic powers bested my shep. But i can fully understand why it would piss of biotic gods such as yourself, especially when said super cyborg samurai kawai desu was a character that kinda came out of nowhere and was all like "hey im your biggest rival, rawr!" and you're just scratching your head wondering who the heck is this noob, if he was so good how come you only meet him now?

Now that you reminded me of it though, the whole shep moping around after that was lame too. So yeah truly the game took a nosedive after Thessia.

Dead Space 2: The eye surgery sequence. If you are a half centimeters off, then.....

Is it bad if I kept stabbing him in the eye repeatedly for funsies?

OT: The stealth mission in Neo Tokyo in Timesplitters 2, and the computer puzzle in 3.
