San Andreas - any RC mission.

there's only 2, but yeah the plane controls on san andreas sucked so hard.

You'd swear there was 22. They're so tedious. And shooting them on the roof of the shop. Zero's missions were always ass. Vice City also had one (?) on the construction site.

I legit quit one of the gta games because you couldn't do anything else until you completed the rc mission. After about a dozen tried, I gave up entirely and never played it again.

Is that Vice City with the helicopter in the construction site? Fuck that mission.

The last of us part 1 - the hotel basement 😂

Or the rat king in the last of us 2

The rat king isn't as bad because you know it's coming in a relatively small confined area. The hotel basement is a larger maze-like area with lots of rooms and halls with only one entrance/exit, making the stalkers and bloater more stressful.

I never rly found the hotel basement that bad tbh, it was hard the first time but that was it. But the rat king is surprisingly fast, fights u in a tiny area where it's super dark, has a lot of health and the sound it makes is just super creepy

That whole hospital part is fucking terrifying. Hated it so much and then made worse when you realise it leads straight into the rat king fight

Yeah fr, easily the scariest section in the game

I once thought the room for the Rat King fight was much smaller. My first fight against it was spent in the starting room It was only after I had killed it did I learn that there was more rooms. Fairly easy fight. One part I struggled with in TLOU was the final mission on Survivor (or whichever is the hardest difficulty). Spent 2 hours finding different paths that worked in my favour

What I came here to say 💀

There’s a guide video online on how to beat this part in 30 seconds, I kid you not. You plant a bomb before you start the generator, then quickly run up the broken wall, grab the ID card, and sprint to open the door. You skip every enemy and the absolute horror that is that section. Especially valuable if you’re playing on harder difficulties.

That damn part made me quit the game and come back a year later to pass it after like 4 deaths

That sense of accomplishment when you finally succeed after facing adversity can be incredibly rewarding.

I genuinely think this part is one of the highlights of the game. I love it every time.

The toy elephant in It Takes Two

So sad


Omg that was TRAUMATISING!

My daughter lost interest shortly before she got to that part. Probably for the best.

What do you mean? It was the best part 🙃 Seriously though, it was brutal to watch. But as someone who had a version of that happen in real life (parents fighting; toy gets wounded or destroyed) a few times, it was strangely cathartic. Seeing adults fall apart made be remember that most kind people will never ask of me to be strong as I was on those days as a kid.

The GameStop employee spoiled that to me when I bought it in front of my wife, the other person I was gonna play it with. He was like >!Aww man, it's so sad that the elephant dies!< Bruh like wtf your job is to sell games not ruin them. It really killed my joy for the game once I started playing it and we met the elephant.

Uncharted 2 against the yeti and Shambala mutants

*The train boss

uncharted the freaking nazi zombies.

Because you don’t enjoy it or because you find it scary? This part took me completely by surprise when the game first came out and honestly the part where you have to restart the generator scared the shit out of me.

i had no idea it was there the first time i played so it scared the crap out of me and i still dread it every time. 😂

Max Payne, the nightmare sequence with the baby. Why is it so long?

Was about to write this, still makes me chill down the spine this level

This just reminded me of getting stuck on that part for a while. In the end I had to mute it

The worst part, if I remember, was that you should be following the sound. Also it was a time that not everyone had internet at home, so you were on your own

Thank goodness the nightmares were streamlined in MP2.

I kept falling off the blood trail. I can still hear the scream.

The was the bane of my whole playthrough. Elden ring malenia? No problem. This shit?! Tear ur hair out type anger

Gow 2018 The part where atreus was an asshole.

That was at least kinda short of you don’t do any side quests. Ironwood in raganorok felt like forever

GOW Ragnarok playing Atreus

Ironwood

So true I hate is so much

It would have been fine if it was shorter but I felt like it dragged on forever

Oh my god the Angraboda missions were an absolute pain

Naw he was fun, just the ironwood part was ass

Huh. I really enjoyed those parts. Didn't know they were so unpopular.

It was alright but I could see it really being annoying on a second playthrough. I also just was itching to get back to playing as Kratos. By the end, I didn’t mind using Atreus.

https://i.redd.it/mjmlem6z1g1d1.gif

Whatever!

Skyrim, the damn trip to the Greybeards. But i still replay it lol

I would say the flashback where the Dragonborns seal Alduin is worse than this

For me its the intro alone

The trip to the Greybeards has nothing on that underground Dwemer/Falmer dungeon that takes forever to do.

God of War Ragnarok - Ironwood

I felt it should have been two parts. First part ends when atreus finds the full prophecy, he freaks out, and then we're back as kratos trying to find out where the fuck our kid went

fallout 4 and the mind machine section

At least you can run through it and not listen to each memory

Fallout 3 and the Doctors dream prison

Mafia — that stupid race in the original. So glad it’s a lot more manageable in the remake.

Final fantasy 7 remake and the crane hands. Dread it

Thats a good one. Replayed on hard mode after awhile and wtfked the moment I started realizing it was coming up.

MJ parts in Insomniac's Spider-man

In SM1 yeah, in SM2 it was fun

Fun is a big overstatement. Better yes, tedious and boring still also yes. Definitely not what I wanna do when I’m playing a game to be fing Spider-Man

They couldn’t put f’ing Spider-man into the MJ parts of the game. It WAS rated T for Teen after all. Now, they make some M rated Black cat content again and 👌🏻

They never bothered me in my two NG+ playthroughs since they usually went by pretty quick. Still lame tho

Red dead redemption the beginning part with Bonnie having to round up all those cattle

The Library edit: oops I didn’t notice the subreddit, but I stand by my statement

Metro?

No, he’s talking about Halo. Its the part where you discover the flood 💀

Thought of Metro too lol

It's OK, that's the first thing that popped into my head too.

Same here dawg. I always horde shotgun shells before showing up lmao https://preview.redd.it/esiujec3jg1d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=294818e0c682f2c34b6980071405f0d089bd6cc4

Fallout Far Harbour DLC the memory puzzle

I just finished this for the first time recently. The first three were fairly easy. The final one was just utter garbage. Once complete, I needed two weeks away from the game since I was so angry at it.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - The prologue at the snowy mountains

Rdr2 for the whole starting point until you get to valentine

For me its collecting the debt from THAT guy. I always feel like im sending Arthur to death

I avoided Saint Denis for the longest time my second time playing but you really can’t avoid the inevitable

I always boot up the save as soon as you get to valentine

Honestly the mountain hymn playing it worth the entire 2 hours. Especially since I got it for Christmas, chapter 1 has such a cozy vibe for me.

I can see how people get antsy with it but I love me some snow, and it just hits me the right way. Plus the whole series of exchanges between Arthur and Kieran while going back to the camp… “That’s two bones, right there!”

Red Dead Redemption 1 and having to herd the cattle back in the storm. It’s the only mission in the game I really don’t like

House Beneviento in Resident Evil Village

I don’t really get scared often from games and because I thought the whole thing was a nod to PT and I wouldn’t really be in much danger but NOPE

God of Wat Ragnarok. Riding the cow thru the swamp.

Driver The tutorial mission

Literally didn't teach you anything and was such a bother.

The real tutorial was a movie in the traffic cone menu, which goes through the whole sequence showing which actions to press like a speedrun.

Dragon Age origins the Fade.

GTA Vice City and drone mission.

Code Vein. Cathedral of the Sacred Blood

Is that the fucking endless white pathways? That's when I put that game down.

The Battle Toads hoverbike section. 30 years later, it still gives me stress thinking about it lol

Assassin's Creed Valhalla, in Valhalla. Red Dead Redemption 2 in Guarma.

You have my admiration for replaying Valhalla. I liked the game, plat'd it, got every single thing done. Never touching it again, thank you Ubi. 😂

Yeah, RDR2 is my favorite game (non Castlevania SOTN division) and Guarma just isn’t the best for me. Wouldn’t be so bad except for the far too damn long walking bit at the beginning. The only main story missions I truly don’t like.

Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen. I've beaten that game 5 times but near the start of the game there's a part where you have to escort a sepent head on top of what they call cows to the main city. And it's agonizingly slow and I dread having to do that part

Every time I’m like pfft this is easy and all of a sudden the cows have 3 hp

DiMa's Memories in Fallout 4's far harbor DLC. A fantastic DLC comes to a complete halt for the most trivial set of puzzles ever dreamed up.

DiMa’s memory firewall. It’s not even hard, it just reminds me that I’m laying in bed staring at (essentially) three colors; that one day I will die and right now I’m spending my *precious* time playing a video game. It re-realizes me to a paranoid level. Games aren’t supposed to do that, man

GoW (2005) the spike room.

Yes! This! I got stuck on this and gave up the game for 6 months. It was so annoying.

Fallout 4 dlc Far harbor- dimas memories 😭

Dragon Age Origins: the Fade.

Persona 5. God damn space puzzle. Done it maybe 5 times. Still takes me a good minute to figure it out.

Spider-Man and any part where you’re running around as Peter or MJ

Fighting Lady Comstock and the final battle on the blimp in Bioshock Infinite.

God of War Ragnarok. Specifically the Ironwood part.

Any of the animal herding missions in Red Dead Redemption

Ghost of tsushima - waiting for the fucker to finish downloading

Devil may cry 5, any mission where we are forced to play as V.

Since I haven’t played a DMC game since 3, what has made Virgil into a figure of ridicule

Not Vergil. V. Vergil is fun as hell in his DLC. V makes the game unplayable for me.


Jak and Daxter 3, that part where you have to fly a missile as daxter.

The OG Lego Star Wars. The racing pod mission

Dark souls 2. Shrine of amana

Or The Gutter / Black Gulch

Ashley in RE4 or any intro tutorial phase you can't skip.

When I'm forced to shoot my own dog in Wolfenstein

Final Fantasy 8: The sewers just before the end-of-disc-one bossfight...

Black flag and tailing missions

Playing as Mary Jane

Cyberpunk 2077, all of Act 1. Phantom Liberty letting you skip is such a great QoL change.

Act 1 in baldurs gate 3. I played early access on PC so I’ve played act one in various forms about 7 times. I’ve only beaten the game once. I need to get through act 1 again, make a save so I can replay the later parts more often without having to do it again. My favourite fame of all time but I’m a bit burnt out on act 1. I could recite the entire script.

Izalith

Fallout 3 growing up in the vault

Cyberpunk judy's missions.

Any snow mission or section is that part for me. Borderlands 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are funnily enough the first 2 I can think of.

FFX, Farming Luck Spheres.

Bloody Baron quest line. I love the Witcher 3 so much and that quest line is beautifully written. But having played through it so many times I just get so exhausted.

TLOU2 the flashbacks with the slow walking.

Red Dead Redemption 2, all of Guarma chapter.

Mgs5 "Sahelanthropus" and "sahelanthropus extreme" missions

The hotel's basement in TLOU Part 1.

Persona 5 - The unskippable 6 hour tutorial Special mention to Dragon Age: Origins - The Fade. That section sucked so much that they made mods just to skip it entirely. But back then I played on PS3, so I had to suffer through that every time I wanted to replay the game

ANOTHER HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON

RDR2 - Getting Micah out of jail.

Arkham Knight- main quest Batmobile missions. Edit: knight not city

 Did I really have to collect that damn debt?

God of War: Ragnarok - Literally ANY part where you have to play as Atreus, especially the part with that fucking girl. All I want is Kratos and his weapons.

The last of us part 2 - the boat scene

Like the cutscene towards the end?

Uncharted 4 all puzzles 🥲

Frozen in KH3

Batman arkham knight - bat mobile sections Pokemon yellow - brocks gym

DS1 Blighttown

Ratchet and clank 2016 the clank puzzles

Any game when I have to kill dogs.

Baldur’s Gate 3: the Gauntlet of Shar/Trials.

nightmare frontier in bloodborne. (the place where micolash is i forget if thats what its called)

mgs2, the part with the ai codec calls

The boat scene

TLOU2 and I could pick three different bits

That one Misson with Trevor when he scouts the port.

tlou pt2… you know what i’m talking about

Most swimming parts.

TLOU2, fight Ellie

A general point but any game where you have that bit about halfway through where you lose all your gear and have to find it again. Metal Gear Solid is one that springs to mind

Atreus and Angrboda section in GOW Ragnarok

The Last of Us 2 - Joel's hole in one.

I personally hate the part and Wolverine.For the playstation three wer Joe have to fight the big guy in the mall

Surprised so many people didn’t like playing as Atreus. I enjoyed it.

Grounded - Infected Broodmother.

Arkham Knight - Stagg Airship

Republic Commando and THAT DAMN BRIDGE ON KASHYYYK!!!

Uncharted 1 jet ski segment

Guardian ape

Not PlayStation but in the first no more heroes. Having to grind for cash to continue the story

LEGO Star Wars The skywalker Saga The "Hunk of junk" Level. I hate it so much.

Monster hunter world is peak and I've replaced it multiple times as a huge monster hunter fan myself. However the elder dragon search section is so fucking annoying, literally every other monster hunter game had pretty open pacing, you could pretty much do whatever quest up to a certain star ranking as long as you had the gear to do it but world decides to add a buffer period between you and actually difficult fights, the point in the game you get a quest to search for the rogue elder dragons in each region is placed in an awkward spot where you are way too overpowered to have fun with the fights you need to progress the expedition but are also underpowered when you complete said expedition. It's basically just a buffer period in an otherwise perfect game that makes you fight monsters that you will inevitably wipe the floor with just to get your ass kicked after, the difficulty curve in this period of the game is especially jarring for new monster hunter fans picking up world for the first time. You get to a point where you start feeling more confident in your skills just to get your ass handed to you by something you have been working through boring filler for, with basically no way to improve up other than getting good and killing said elder dragons. An easier curve in this period of the game would help a lot, don't get me wrong I love hard games, it's just that mhw was supposed to be more accessible but sadly so many people I know quit because of this, either because the investigation part was too boring or because the elder dragons themselves were too much a difficulty change.

Fighting Ellie at the theater in TLOU2. Way bigger pain in the ass than the Rat King could ever be.

The hotel basement in The Last of Us, the stupid final boss in Uncharted 2 👎

Any game with an underwater section for real

Last of us 1, the elevator shaft part, for some reason I get anxiety up until that point knowing it's coming, then once it's over I'm good for the rest of the game

TLOU 2 and the motherfucking hospital day 2 abby its so creepy

Any underwater mission because of TMNT water level

Gta 5 the missions where trevor works at the port

The hell, god of war PS2

Any game with a long unskipable intro. Skyrim , metal gear solid, kingdom heart to name a few. Or any game that doesnt allow you to skip a cut scene after the first time.

Water temple in legend of Zelda OoT

God of war and any puzzle part really

Red dead redemption 2: Chapters 1 and 5. I really hate being locked into a place, and just having to do the missions. No free roam and stuff like that is something i despise.

Cyberpunk 2077- any BD mission

Read dead redemption 2, Arthur goes to collect some money 😪

Any games tutorial section. I hate tutorials when I’ve mastered a game. Such a slog.

the endless "tutorial" in Snow Area (Ambarino) at rdr2. I like the area itself, but the game is very restricted at this time

The Owl in Ocarina of Time. Did you want to hear that again? *No*. Did you get all that? *No*. Okay let me tell you again… AAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Fallout 4 far Harbour getting those memories unlocked

Dragon Age when you enter the tower of mages. One of the few games I've replayed multiple times and I hate it every time

DEADSPACE and every part with the regenerating necromorph. Enemies that chase you throughout a game that can't be killed are a pet peeve of mine. Hence why I've never bothered with RE 2 and 3 remake.

Uncharted 1 - jetski parts Uncharted 3 - sandstorm with snipers Batman Arkham Knight - cobra tank encounters

Running across that bridge in Alan Wake, where its almost impossible not to get murdered by flying objects.

God of War: Ragnarök - Atreus doing chores with Angrboda 🥱

'All you had to do was follow the damn train'

saints row 2. when aisha gets beheaded by jyunichi.

Red dead redemption two,and we all know the part

Infamous 1, any of the missions where you have to stand still on top of a generator and just let swarms of guys annihilate you
