Place you hate to visit in games

[TheKruzdawg]

If you're like me, you've played a game that has a location that you wish you never had been to even once, and god forbid you ever have to go there a second time.

For me, any time I had to enter an Oblivion gate, I REFUSED to enter those awful NetherTunnels or caves or whatever they were called in order to get to the main tower. I did it early on in the game and got near-hopelessly lost and vowed never to do it again. They suck and they take forever. I've even resorted to swimming through lava to avoid going through the tunnels and this is often a much, much faster way to complete a Gate.

So, my fellow Escapists, what video games locales do you dislike as much as I hate Oblivion tunnels?

 

[Worgen]

sewers, they are almost universally boring

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

The motherfucking Fade in Dragon Age. Seriously, it fucking killed my first character dead. Not just to a reload screen, but just fucking dead. I rolled him as a cleric type guy, and then the game throws a looong, tedious solo-mission at me when I'm loaded up with Heal, Heroic Offense, and Spirit Bolt.

...Rest in peace, Cleric Warden.

Dark caves. Dear Lord, how I hate those things

Oh, and sewer levels. Those can go die in a fire.

This is dedicated to all Auto-scroll levels in any platformer game in existence: SCREW YOU. No one likes you.

 

[TheKruzdawg]

I would like to add to the list anything that happens to be goblin-infested. This usually includes caves and sewers (at least in Oblivion).

WaywardHaymaker, I agree with you. The Fade is not a fun place to be. Ever. When I was playing Dragon Age 2 I was completely unprepared for what they do to you there. I had to replay that section sooooo many times... I swear I just got lucky.

 

[thenamelessloser]

the old server in the nameless mod to the game Deus EX. I hated dealing with the boring shadowcode and the linear level. Just seemed so boring and out of place.

Tower of Babel in Xenogears, the jumping in the game really pisses me off.

The side planets in Mass Effect.

The Fade is fine the first time in Dragon Age but really don't want to do it every time I replay. Also, deep roads is just too damn long and just seems like really bad pacing..

probably much more but can't think of any. Maybe blocked the levels from my head. lol

 

[the spud]

The dunwhitch building in fallout 3. Scared my socks off. There were skeletons flying through the air, doors opening on their own, human sacrafices, talking heads (although that may have been a glitch), all sorts of crazy shit. I never could get myself to get the bobblehead in there.

 

[triggrhappy94]

The dark caves and pokecenters in Pokemon.

 

[TheKruzdawg]

Dungeons in Oblivion and Neverwinter nights 2, The Fade in Dragon Age.

Oh, and going into the oblivion gates in oblivion, ffff, I hated them.

I don't mind the oblivion gates as much anymore. I'm able to finish one in about 10 minutes or so. It used to take forever and fighting all the monsters would take forever. But now that I have good weapons/armor, it's a cake walk.

 

[Drakmeire]

Would it be too obvious if I said The Temple of the Ocean King?
I didn't mind it all that much but everyone I know talks about it like it was the worst thing to ever happen in games.
But I'll go for the single worst place in gaming history, Atlantica in Kingdom Hearts II, the boss battle was almost fun but everything is ruined by these three words
Swim. This. Way.

It feels like my soul is being slowly sliced apart by paper-cuts.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

Taris in KoTOR was just bad, but The Deep Roads in Dragon Age: Origin was literally nauseating.

 

[Argonian alchemist]

The fade in the original Dragon Age... oh my god, so freaking annoying.

OH. DEAR. GOD. I completely forgot about that horrid place. I redact my previous complaints. I'd rather go through multiple Oblivion tunnels than suffer through that again (which is ironic since I'm forced to go through one of said tunnels right now). Sadly I'll probably see that place again as I love the Kingdom Hearts series so much.

 

[TheSuperiorXemnas]

Well there is no way anything can be as worse as....eh

Ahh, seems somebody got to Atlantica before me.

 

[Suijen]

Dungeons in Oblivion. They're pure boredom.

The Sewers in Fallout 3 for the same reason. Plus they were hard to navigate.

That temple in Phantom Hourglass. I never finished that game.

 

[BanicRhys]

World 3 and 5 in Demon's Souls.
Junon, Corel and Cosmo Canyon in Final Fantasy 7.
The past in Final Fantasy 8.
That glowing forest thing in Final Fantasy 13.
The industrial area in inFamous 2.

 

[Yuno Gasai]

The motherfucking Fade in Dragon Age.

This. So much this. ;~;

In more general terms.. Caves, dungeons, temples; anything which involves the possibility of me getting hideously lost.
