Talk to person with a light bulb over their head.

Either:
Kill X number of mobs.
Kill one specific mob.
Find Y number of items from mobs.
Take random thing to other person.
Talk to other person for another job to do.

Repeat to infinity.

(this applies to a great many games, in some way or other)

Crysis 2: Suffer debilitating, crippling trauma and black out. During said blacking out, be forcibly bonded to a piece of suspect technology by a sick, suicidal former user, then get shot at after being mistaken for said suicide for the rest of your time in a ruined, depressing city, as everything around you attempts to murder you, for no fault of your own.

Here's another one: So you have a giant island. You get around it by hijacking vehicles like Grand Theft Auto, except that it's easier to survive BASE jumps because you also have infinite parachutes. There's lots of things to blow up, and you have to make lots of fireworks to unlock more missions. All the while, people with hilariously bad foreign accents complement the hilariously awful writing.

...I second the guy on the last page: Just Cause 2 is very hard to make boring.

Every Sonic Game ever: Run really fast to finish a level, but instead keep running into bullshit that's put there to punish you for going fast. Oh and there's 7 Mac guffins that you and this fat old dude with a robot fetish fight over.

Well, ANY game is basically "Manipulate control unit in certain ways." But that's a copout, so...

Chrono Trigger: Because your girlfriend was irresponsible with her toys, you get a new girlfriend.
The tagline for my next film, "Dangerous Dildos."

I got more!

Limbo: move right, die, move left, die.
Grand Theft Auto: steal cars and run around ugly-looking city.

Just Cause 2: ....no, sorry. Impossible to make boring.
I can do this!

Umm...

...

"Make a driving instructor cry blood"

"Pull down propaganda by the any of the means at your disposal"

"Perform thousands of no-skill-required, easily survivable BASE jumps"

"Convince a small island nation that their government sucks"

MAN, THIS IS HARD.
-Shoot ALL the things.
-Drive ALL the things.


Goddammit, it still sounds fun.

shadow of the Colossus. You ride a horse, and kill a whopping total of 16 things that can fight back. Oh and some times before you can stab it with your sword, you have to shoot it with arrows.

You die. You plan ahead, you walk, you die. You try again, you walk farther, you die.
You try again, you walk, you die.
You die.
You die.
You get lucky, but then you die and lose your progress.
You get frustrated.
Then you make a mistake and die.
