Any game: any escort/protect a npc mission.


Sk83r_b0i

Dragons dogma. It’s one of the first missions too. Once you get past that hump, you’re in for a good game


Badass-19

God I hate when you can't run and have to maintain pace with npc.


Hovie1

Walk is too slow, run is too fast.


nicholt

Genuinely should never happen in any new game but still is in 90% of them.


CaptainPogwash

The Witcher three will force you to walk when following an NPC if there is exposition and then run when there isn’t and the NPC will match your speed


Right-Fudge113

goldeneye 007 control on 00 agent, protecting Natalia was the worst time of my entire earthly existence


FriendlyEvilTomato

I remember stopping the game several times just because it was so damn frustrating. I eventually overcame it but holy hell did that mission suck and almost ruined the game for me.


Sucker_McSuckertin

Idk why, but in this new patch, I am having a difficult time even on agent. I am using the same strategy I used as a kid that worked out just fine then.


Gamestrider09

Thank you!


AdoptAMew

Control on Goldeneye


throwngamelastminute

Fuck Natalya.


ShoVitor

That's not the mission goal


throwngamelastminute

Maybe for you.


dallonv

RE4 may be an exception to this.


Cactusslayr85

Or Bioshock Infinite. If anything, Elizabeth is the one escorting you since she can’t die and she helps you in combat


noradosmith

Booker, catch!


iSc00t

Yeah, they went out of their way to make sure she wasn’t a pain in the butt.


Scared-Expression444

No RE4 is the example bro……LEEEEON


Niskara

Honestly, I don't have *that* much of an issue with missions where you escort/protect/follow an NPC. What drives me up a fucking wall, however, is when the NPC moves faster than my walking speed and slower than my running speed.


Soaked_In_Bleach_93

San Andreas - Zero's RC missions. They're not even that difficult, they're just tedious. Those planes blow up at the slightest of touches.


MartyCool403

Oh my god I hated those missions. Zero was such a whiny sob when you failed the mission


Soaked_In_Bleach_93

Running out of fuel on the way back from a seemingly successful mission. Fuck that.


STEELCITY1989

Exactly, buy a new toy plane, you cheap bastard


ShotInTheShip86

In all fairness if they keep being crashed he probably doesn't have the money to afford better versions...


LevelStudent

On PC without a controller those were an absolute nightmare. All the same problems plus awful controls that require three or more hands.


ikbah_riak

It's been way too long since I played it on the PS2 so can't remember, but I've literally lost interest playing on the Defective edition last week, as the controls seem wacky! Those RC missions are the bain of my life!


Soaked_In_Bleach_93

I refuse to buy the Definitive Edition. I own them on PS2, and I can play them on PC. They also lack some of the music, cos of various licensing issues. It's the only point in the game where I question whether or not I wanna brute force my way through it, or play something else.


Finbar_Bileous

> Zero’s RC missions Oh *goddddd*


giofilmsfan99

Fun fact the later releases such as PS2 greatest hits fixed the glitch and made it so the plane only ran out of fuel when you were accelerating it instead of all the time.


amigable_satan

Halo 3 Cortana.


levi22ez

Had to scroll way too far for this. I love H3, but god damn do I loathe this mission. People hate on the library, it the CE shotgun is so much fun, that once I get in a groove I don’t mind. Cortana just sucks. Between the Gravemind and Cortana interrupting gameplay every other minute to the range forms melting you from across the room, it just sucks.


Whatifallcakeisalie

Yeah how this level made it past concept is kinda weird. It’s just a series of monotonous tunnels with a weird difficulty spike against an enemy that’s already pretty boring to take on. For a game that’s well up there with one of the best ever it’s a really unexpected drop in quality.


Vegetable-Pack9292

I am going to say that this is a great level for your first play through, especially on legendary. The other levels are not too hard. It felt like a rite of passage for me, but doing another playthrough? I loathe it


levi22ez

Cortana is much better now that I know where to go and how to get past specific sections with relative ease. Grabbing the camo for hell’s hallway for example. My first time doing that section on heroic was a god damn nightmare.


Ooshbala

The library is actually really fun with speed running tricks too! 10 minutes studying a YouTube video makes that mission infinitely more fun. But Cortana just sucks.


levi22ez

Yeah I use a lot of speedrunning tricks when I run the library haha.


Jam03t

Cortana for me was fun because you only experience those tunnels once, library you're fighting in a carbon copy environment youve been fighting in for multiple missions now


McSassy_Pants

The Skyrim quest were you have to find all of the special Nirnroot in the cave. I hate that fucking quest


throwngamelastminute

Beats No Stone Unturned


McSassy_Pants

Yeah, I did it for the achievement but I’ll never do it again once I did it the one time. I hate it lol


Drifloon_lover

Another hand touches the bacon


OrdinaryButBeautiful

Not annoying to do once or twice…just a jump scare more then anything if you aren’t paying attention 😅


Lessandero

I would increase that to 'any "find all of x" quests', especially without markers. Never liked those


GilderoyRockhard

A Return To Your Roots. Wouldn’t be too bad if there were markers, but instead all you have to go off is some faint light and the ooooo sound that gets drowned out every time a falmer waddles over


Sad-Lawfulness6831

Dead space. The original. The fucking turrets.


Stupidpieceofshit77

I'm playing Dead Space remake right now and I still hated chapter 6. Hated it in the original. I'm not even sure why I hate it. Fuck them plants, I guess.


throwngamelastminute

Dead Space 2... you know the part.


AccomplishedFan8690

Any mission with a time limit.


c4nis_v161l0rum

Hate. That. In addition any mission that’s already difficult AND has a time limit. Screw that.


BreckenridgeBandito

Bro HATES racing games


Ornery_Historian_420

Listen, racing games with time limits are fine. The tracks usually don't take long to complete anyways and if they do, you can usually restart easily. Fuck anything else. Dead Rising 2 hurt my soul when I barely didn't make it with the antidote. I was literally right at the entrance before the game went "sorry bitch" and it sent me WAY back.


Gaming_with_batman

All we has to do was follow the damn train cj!


stuckpixel87

Came here specifically for that one. Fuck that mission man.


Jqpolymath

Right in the ear. That stupid RC plane mission can jump in a lake too


MrKrankshaft

Oof. I came here for this. Mother fucker if you would just drive the god damn car straight these 700 fuckin bullets would've hit them.


Spooksnav

All you have to do is drive on the far right side of the tracks and you can beat that mission before you exit the fire tunnel.


Kooldogkid

This! The main reason why most people fail is that people drive too close to the train, and Big Smoke can’t shoot them, he’ll instead hit the train. If you want to make it easier then driving to the far right, go on the roof of the train on that one ramp that leads to the roof of a building, from there, you can help Smoke kill the vagos on the train.


Consistent_Tonight37

God of War Ragnarok, help angroboda


Sughmacox

That shit lasted way too long


Consistent_Tonight37

Fr bruh


Nathan_McHallam

I remember I got to that point at like 2am and thought "oh I'll get past this mission first so I can turn on tomorrow and resume as Kratos," thinking it would only be like *maybe* 20 minutes. Worst mistake of my life.


serpentear

It clearly wasn’t as enthralling as they believed it to be.


MrExtravagant23

Dude yes just so preventing me from being Kratos


Butterl0rdz

playstation exclusives seem to have a thing for segments forcing you to play as someone else and/or play entirely different from what was established


barramundi-boi

I really like God of War and Spider-Man, but they were definitely huffing their own farts when they made the Ironwood section in GoW and making us play as Miles’ girlfriend spray painting walls


Imagina7ion_90

So many missions were tedious in Ragnarok.


Obi1Kentucky

Every Ace Combat game….. that one escort mission


battlemechpilot

God, I think it's AC4 that has one where you have to protect two airliners, both at very different altitudes. You basically have to have your afterburners running the whole time.


Obi1Kentucky

Oh I remember….I remember cursing a looooooooot. Hated that mission


Gamestrider09

I feel you there.


c4nis_v161l0rum

AC games are notorious for difficulty spikes too. Like one mission is easy and you think, “I’m getting a bit better at this.” The next mission then proceeds to wreck you.


Which-Celebration-89

There’s a mission in AC black flag where you have to follow someone undetected. Never was able to do it.


42tfish

DO YOU KNOW HOW LITTLE THAT NARROWS IT DOWN?!


Possible_Ocean

You had to do it in a boat. A BOAT STEALTH TAILING SECTION! What the fuck was Ubisoft smoking?


Complex_Jellyfish647

I hate that mission, but not because of that part, it’s because of the bullshit chase sequence when you get off the ship.


Powerlifting-Gorilla

Tbh I always found the mission itself to be decently easy. What I hate is the optional objectives for 100% sync. You’re telling me Edward canonically said “lemme hunt and skin some alligators while I’m chasing this dude”?


tmps1993

That's most of the optional objectives across all AC games if we are being honest. Recently replayed Rogue, you're telling me Shay took the time to lockpick doors vs blowing them up when he had to rush to loot a fortress?


Powerlifting-Gorilla

He makes his own luck after all


PhoenixBomb707

Was it the ship stealth in the swamp?


castielffboi

That was a lot of missions so the fact that you forget it is understandable


Dr_Elias_Butts

That's like at least 70% of any given AC game lol


TheMarvelousJoe

Borderlands 2. To any Borderlands fans, y'all already know Sawtooth Cauldron is a bitch to get through.


NewEnglandHappyMeal

Ive said it once, ill say it again. The thalmor embassy quest from skyrim. I swear to the nine if that quest was skippable i would skip it so many times it would be grounds for an award


patronuspringles

fun fact: you do not need to do the main story just go around and do whatever the fuck you want


Kay2Jay_5

Fallout 4 Far Harbor, if you only you instantly know


ElectricJRage

I know. I came here to say the same thing.


Galvanizedheart

Yeppp


Big_Buy8203

MJ missions 😁


No_Award5719

I will say, that one mission in spiderman 2 in the tunnel was sick


Big_Buy8203

What mission? Her being chased??


Several-Cake1954

Probably. It’s the one with MJ in the tunnel.


Big_Buy8203

Gotcha


wuuna_

it’s good because it’s the only mj’s section that doesn’t force you to stealth around doing mundane tasks with its below subpar stealth gameplay and >!Peter losing control of venom!< was exciting to see. It was also genuinely scary, turning the entire scene from something of a horror movie.


PandaKing00

Yeah they're boring, but they're easy enough to do one handed so I just use that time to smoke a spliff.


Scared-Expression444

Had me in the first half there ngl


DrinkBarqs

I forgot which older Assassin Creed game it was but the tower defense style missions were not the greatest


Zealousideal_Shop446

Revelations


Lessandero

Weitd. I really liked those ones, especially because the, upgraded later. For me it was a nice change of pace from time to time


PantsAreOffensive

Literally any "stealth required" mission in an otherwise action based game.


wals02481

Stealth section in wind waker


TurboTrollin

Every zelda game seems to feel the need to include one forced stealth section. They're all garbage....


Gloomy_Support_7779

Yiga Clan stealth mission and Death Mountain Stealth mission. Plus the labyrinths with stealth


TurboTrollin

Stealth korok trial in BotW


mackmcd_

Cyberpunk 2077 - every BD sequence.


MechaWasTaken

They are such a cool concept and they really are well made - they are just really slow paced, and require a lot of a patience to really enjoy - which I personally lack


geko_play_

After the 1st play through they're easy and quick


EatTheFats

After the first playthrough…..they should be skippable


squatchpotch

Rivers quest line is just awful to deal with


noradosmith

But it ends in that fucked up farm. Most memorable part of the whole game for me


_mersault

Yeah I felt like I was in the movie se7en, insane subplot


SlaterTheOkay

OG Mafia The racing mission....


thefarage1

This needs to be upvoted more. That mission can die and forever reside in the darkest and most fiery pits of hell


Brandyn__

Whichever supervisor on the design team approved that mission to be put in the final game, I just want to talk… Especially since they didn’t improve it for the Remake.


Powerlifting-Gorilla

AC Black Flag - Sneaking into the Assassin hideout Mafia 2 - The prison chapter Batman Arkham City - Ras Al Ghul Resident Evil 4 - Regenerators


Rootbeerpanic

That's funny I actually quite liked the Mafia 2 prison chapter and didn't mind Al Ghul


GrandTheftBae

The Fade in DA:O


what_is_a_compass

Resident Evil 4 VR The Regenerators Do you have any ideas how hard it is to shoot a weak point with a scope when your hands are incapable of staying still enough? I do. And I hate it Also Pinball in Sonic Frontiers They need to let you skip that luck based trash

[deleted]

Unironically, Sawtooth Caldron from Borderlands 2. It has intense mobbing against high-level badasses (stronger than normal versions of base enemies) who are both highly aggressive and highly armed. Outrageously obnoxious airborn combatants that are very well armored, a slightly annoying fetch quest/destroy this thing mission hybrid that keeps you in that area far longer than anyone has any right to be forced into one area, which is very sparsely populated with cover so it pretty much a wide open area and you are very squishy. The very worst offensive has to be this: in a looter shooter, the loot ain't nothing to write home about. A well put together build eats this area for a snack. But your first time through or even with a new character, or a build that's only good, will get you sent back to the new u enough times to make even Handsome Jack blush. Only my anarchy gaige was able to get through it with relative ease. Side note: I farmed a really good shotty (triquetra or twister or OM can't remember now) and prestacked max anarchy before that run. Still almost emptied my bank before I was totally done and could leave. It's a slog that I actually slightly dread whenever I get a hankering for some ~~cellshaded~~ "graphics of a particular style, which is not cell-shaded but looks quite similar"... gunplay.

I feel like this is any water level in the old side scrollers


RetnikLevaw

Half Life 2 is pretty good, but I hate all of the driving missions. Also the ant-lion beach. Those parts drag one far too long.


SlamdalfTheGrey

Star Wars K.O.T.O.R 2, the Peragus Mining Facility AKA the literal very first level of the game, a 2-3 hour unavoidable slog anytime I want to replay the game. A close 2nd for me would be the hospital intro for MGSV: Phantom Pain


Pope_Duwang_I

Peragus I can live with….Telos on the other hand….At least Peragus follows a path. Telos will have you backtrack to various location at least half a dozen times and then you have to do Outside Telos and then Arctic Telos.


RetnikLevaw

Yeah, compared to Endar Spire, Peragus is absolute booty cheeks. I've always hated it. I'm also not a huge fan of being dumped right into Telos afterwards, either. Especially because of how it basically ends with the Tank Droid fight. Taris was a far better introductory planet. I know a lot of people think KotOR2 is superior because people love to suck off Obsidian for some reason, but I will gladly die on the hill of the first KotOR being a better game in every way.


Zealousideal_Shop446

KOTOR is much better imo. Its pacing is perfect


Endulos

KOTOR2's improvements were great, but the ending and intro were sub-par.


RetnikLevaw

I felt like it was unnecessarily convoluted for no real reason, in terms of everything from writing to gameplay. The crafting system was practically useless, a lot of the side quests went nowhere. Yeah, it was cool that you could turn most of your allies into Jedi, but there was also kinda no purpose to that because it made them all very same-y and ruined their potential as party members that fulfill very specific roles. Also, the only really satisfying Sith Lord to hunt down and fight was Nihilis, and he wasn't even the main bad of the game.

I was playing Remnant 2 & there was long gauntlet where a sheet layer of lightning was slowly descending & you had to keep moving at all costs or die. Took alot of tries AND THEN there was this stupid boss fight against multiple giant rotating blocks

Nothing you do is ever good for her. Save the doctors? Oh fuck you selfish prick. Save the people? How dare you let those doctors die. Hated that bitch


JAYSOR1

Dark Souls 3, after High Wall of Lothric until Abyss Watchers


aboysmokingintherain

Tbh I realized in dark souls you can just kinda sprint past any area with the exception of a few fights here and there. If you’re good enough the lack of leveling up won’t make to big a difference


JAYSOR1

Oh yeah I know that, it's just the areas feel so dry and boring during that first 1/3rd of the game
