I wanted to replay Bayonetta on the hardest difficulty but I remembered those two gimmicky levels that serve no purpose...
I wanted to replay ME1 and 2 but I can't because ME3 pretty much killed any interest I had in the franchise...
I wanted to replay FF13 but I remembered the 20 hour long tutorial...

Oh wow, yes. I hated the warrens. Whenever I replay I do a clan with obfuscation so I can be invisible and just run past everything.MissMetallicar said:
And I'd really like to replay MGSIV, but every time I think about it I just image the hours and hours of cut scenes and play something else.
Borderlands 2 is a great game and all, but if I have to do the "Firehawk" side-missions again I may just scream.
Especially the quest where you have to deliver the midget Matchstick back to where you fight Captain Flynt.
Ugh.

The beginning of and, Water Temple of Majora's Mask. The beginning of Majora's Mask is slow and kind of tedious since you can't speed up time until you find the Ocarina. The Great Bay Temple is a worse than the Water Temple of Ocarina of Time; The Water Temple of Ocarina was tedious but at least it had a good boss fight at the end.
Speaking of Ocarina of Time: Shadow Temple...or whatever the Hell that temple in Kakariko Well is called.
Grand Theft Auto III: The missions wherein you must drive from point A to point B (and sometimes C and D) without bumping into ANYTHING. Any vehicle damage and you have to repair the bastard. Of course they are all timed as well...
Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas: The mandatory racing missions and over-abundance of tutorials. I'm a level 4 when it comes to flight...and I have to take the flight tutorial missions...
Halo (the first 3) - The Gods-DAMNED Flood. Granted in Halo CE it's kind of easy and hilarious to shoot off their limbs and have them follow you as a loyal pet.

Dragon butts and the Bed.Greg White said:
Although I managed to find ways to avoid the butts quite well and trivialize most of the bed fight.
Also, hunting malboros in FF8. I don;t have to, but dammit I want Doomtrain and people don't play the malboro card enough.
Just got another one. The zombie mission in Saints Row the Third. Really enjoy the rest of the game but that part annoys me simply because of the crowding the zombie do.
The casinos in Fallout: New Vegas. Their whole gimmick is the gambling (which I foung to be complete crapshoot and very boring) and confiscating all non-holdout weapons I.E. anything that can pack a punch. The latter is actually a pretty good idea, but is handled very poorly. Most of the fault lies in the engine; either no one cares that you just slaughtered half the place, or everyone is hunting you down after silently taking out a single bodyguard. The quests are well written, but if you don't follow their incredibly linear path it all gets screwed up. Feeling crafty by pick-pocketing a key to the White Glove Society section? Enjoy being beaten with canes and pissing the whole faction off, leading to an anti-climatic brawl that its practically impossible to fail. I dunno how to improve it, though.
Just do what I do and box the SHIT out of every sonofabitch there. You'll die a lot, but when you finally succeed it'll be awesome!suitepee7 said:
not really a response, seeing as there was nothing i was responding to. and yes, i could have used different words, and you could have chosen not to be pedantic and take offense to a passing comment on the internet, and a rather common one at that. it's just a word, get over itCapitano Segnaposto said:
Oh okay, that one...Johnny Novgorod said:I mean this fucker right here.Casual Shinji said:
I typically just hightail it right to the section with the pressure plates, and bottleneck 'm. Takes a while to dispose of them all, but it avoids getting gang banged by monks.
I bet you're excited for the Director's Cut DLC that'll let you do them without firing a single shot, right?1Life0Continues said:
On topic, Mass Effect 3. I wanna finish my Insanity Runthrough of the games, but the opening is one looooooooooooong cutscene, and the prologue: Earth mission isn't much to talk about either if you didn't import from ME2.
ME2 and 1 got it right by letting you play for short segments just to keep you engaged.
It doesn't help that when I got to Sur'Kesh on my Insanity run, I got a glitch that means I can't open a plot-essential door, and if I pause the whole thing crashes.
gotta say, i wasn't a huge fan of the gambling either, but my main gripe with casinos was that when they took all your weapons i had to rehotkey them all when i get them back. doesn't sound like much, but that really grated me after a while.secretkeeper12 said:
and ha, i tried it a couple of times out of frustration, but never managed to get all of them. needed to be more determined to slaughter them all xD
First time in the Citadel in Mass Effect 1, it's so boring after you've done it once. Thankfully on PC you can use the superspeed command. Or if you're feeling particularly masochistic you could spawn the Mako, good luck getting around the Citadel in that.
I actually experienced a bug where they wouldn't return my companions weapons after leaving the casino. Arcade lost his Q-32 matter modulator to those bastards. Hopefully I can find a mod that fixes it before beginning my PC runsuitepee7 said:
They will take a lot of heal-spamming to get through. Hardcore is even worse, as you'll have to get lots of food in addition to stimpaks to have a hope of winning. Though blowing the bunker up is always an option.....
Parts of Grand Nixon Island in The Punisher, on harder difficulties. If you don't have a scoped weapon for the gondola ride, you're out of luck. Also, the fight with the Russian right after that and the horde of enemies that flood in. Since killing enemies in Rage mode returns health, I guess they were meant to be medpacks on the hoof. The first time I was able to do the whole section, I ended up at the "boss" General guy by the rocket with only a sliver of health. I ran right at him blasting away with dual smgs and blew him into the rocket exhaust.
Early sections of Total Overdose, before you have your arsenal built. I remember triggering the Day of the Dead guys and fighting my way through with a bat or machete just to get some guns.
The nigh unskippable cutscenes in Max Payne 3. I liked the first two because on subsequent playthroughs I could just skim the graphic novel sections and get back to playing the game. Even with their length, most of the ones in 3 don't disturb the flow too much, but a couple of them are just a chore. Also, the QTE sections annoy me.
The Citadel on Mass Effect 1. The first time I played, it was fun to explore this new area and get exp for every little codex entry. Every time since, I just feel like I'm checking things off a list. Did I get all the keepers? Did I trigger all the extra missions I can? Wait, what... are you telling me I didn't recruit fu#king Garrus this time? Son of a...
Oblivion - Anything involving Cyrodiil. When my first 360 died, it managed to scratch the disc somehow. Whole game is fine, except for certain parts of Cyrodiil...namely the parts you have to pass through to exit the tutorial or finish certain important quests. Well played, RROD.
The flooding level of X-Men 2 Clone Wars. I usually cheat it with Nightcrawler or Wolverine due to the utility of teleporting and wall/ceiling crawling.
Resource collecting in Mass Effect 2.
That one damn crowd fight in Rise to Honor. I enjoyed the game a lot, since I was totally gone on kung fu movies at the time, but that one fight in front of the bus, where skells kept hopping off to join the fray was really annoying. I screwed up my thumb playing baseball when I was younger, so there is one direction I had trouble flicking the analog stick towards. I kept having to reposition the character to avoid enemies getting into my dexterity blind spot. Oh, you're turning? I'll pour five guys on your head. Re-load, sucka!
Any of the rail shooter-y segments of True Crime Streets of New York. Not a great game, but I was a big fan of the original so I had to buy it. Never finished it. A couple of the button mash to keep from dying and escort mission/rail shooter on wheels sections were just too annoying for me.
The giant mutant Rancor level in Jedi Academy, especially when it glitches and the damn thing will just not follow you far enough to trigger the end of the level. Oh, it will grab you through the wall and destroy you, but it will not hit the trigger point.
The underground passage with the staggered set of three Trolls in Dragon's Dogma. My striders, warriors, fighters, and assassins strolled through with little delay, but my mage just can't seem to pass muster against trolls. I even loaded the team up with the Pawns from my other high level characters and my mage still ends up eating hairy troll fist every time. I actually stopped playing him, which was annoying since his pawn was one of my favorite ones to circulate through my other characters and was hoping to get him leveled up enough to tag along with my main for any future hunts.

Arcadia from Bioshock, I always forget about it and I find it to be the most boring section in the entire game. Firstly I find it very easy to get lost on my way to see the scientist which o my last play through caused me to go in circles for about an hour once (and then I accidentally harvested a little sister and my latest save point was from an hour ago) and then once you find her you have to go on a long and tedious fetch quest to get a bunch of random items scattered throughout the level.
