I love the original Hotline Miami but I'm not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.


Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that's because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas' ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell's house.

Fallout 1. Killing my way out of 1000 rats to finally leave vault 13.

Huh? You can easily outrun them.

All you had to do was follow the damn train, cj!

hate it

The Great Tree in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the worst dungeon by far. The puzzles involve escorting a bunch of NPCs that can't jump, run away from enemies, and inconsistently break away from following Mario.

I enjoy city builders like Cities: Skylines 1 and 2, or Foundation. I hate the initial crawl when you start a new city and have to micromanage everything because budget. I almost always play with unlimited money cheat enabled. It's just more relaxing that way.

The sewer section in Vampire Bloodlines. It's a long action/combat sequence that totally does not fit with the rest of the gameplay.

Sewer count

[–] TotallyHuman@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

It's so long, especially if you get turned around. Which is easy to do, since it violates one of the core rules of combat level design: have a clear path forward. And it's interspersed with "puzzles" that are really just exercises in frustration.

There's a specific command to skip the ocean house, but I didn't mind that. I wish I could skip the damned sewers.

Doom 1993 I do not like Episode 2 very much. Episode 1 has masterful level design, and Episode 3 has the abstract hell levels that are visually interesting, even if they aren't that great to play. Episode 2 is just kind of boring. It does have the Tower of Babel tho, that's a highlight.

For me it's dark souls after the lordvessel. The areas in that section are the worst part of the game IMO.

Also in dmc5 I hate having to play V's missions, luckily you can skip them with the mission select, but you still have to play through them at least once when unlocking a new difficulty.

I also recently replayed cyberpunk 2077 and while I did generally enjoy the game, the ending was a slog and I had to force myself to finish it.

Chapter 5 in RDR2, what were they thinking.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

God of war tower in hades or the pandoras box level cluster.

Kotor 2, the entire beginning section. before telos, and even some parts of telos, i love the rest of the game still, but the early parts of kotor 2 didn't really age well, especially the space walk part lmaooo but that parts actually enjoyable because it is silly. The beginning section only is bad if it's on subsequent playthroughs, and i wish i could enjoy it for the first time again, very much.

The Fade part of Dragon Age Origins. It was great when you explore it the first time, but after that it became a chore to collect all the item on a list.

Metro 2033 taking the kid on your back making your aim go all wonky

Personal 5 Royal - Okumaru boss & End boss (vanilla).

I love this game, truly do but that particular boss is so bullshit (Okumaru)

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I hate the part of PokΓ©mon Go where you find Mew but it's in some nuclear bomb testing site.

Elden Ring. The experience as a whole has a significant drop once you take out Morgott. There's a handful of different reasons, and none of them are really significant, by themselves, but added all together...
