The rotten kernel on the cob.

[Jamos]

A thread dedicated to the worst moments in your favorite games.

The game Max Payne is a pretty sweet. Heavy shoot outs, a twisted story, etc. However, the prologue for Part 2 and 3 is annoying as hell. Run on a thin red line in a pitch black area trying to find your way across... with an annoying sound of a baby crying while doing so.

God of War's spinning blades of death. As in, those annoying spots you have to keep your balance on while trying not to get slashed and fall to your death.

Xenogears telling you what is going on rather than letting you play through it, on disk 2.

Devil May Cry 3 and 4's mission 19. Battle all of the bosses all over again? Hell yeah! While at it place a new boss at the end of the mission that is hard as hell, ala DMC3. Or have you fight them multiple times through out the game and then make you fight all of them once again in one mission like in 4. Argh!

All I remember is a Megaman game(think it was the one Zero was introduced in) where you beat all the stages then on the last area you have to beat all of them again.

That was annoying...

That part right after the helicopter battle in MGS2 where you have to sneak past all those people on the railings. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do that part and not get caught and die a thousand times.

Good call with Max Payne, God of War and Xenogears.

Any platforming segment in a shooter is generally awful. Max Payne had no business having that ****.

Gears of War is terrific but that driving segment makes me grind my teeth.

Mass Effect's driving segments are ****ing tedious.

...Keep platforming and driving out of my shooters, please.

Re: The rotten kernel on the cob.

Generally a lot of games will have very annoying small enemies that knock you off places such as the birds in Ninja Gaiden. Also the Medusa Heads in the Castlevania games can be quite annoying.

I didn't really mind the spinning logs of doom and carnage you dound in Hades in God of War. What I hated was the room right before Pandora's Box, the one with the conveyor belts. Also, in Hade's Challenge there was a gap with blocks that would retract and come out again. You had to jump at just the right moment to land on them while they were extended.

I died like forty something times before I handed the controller to my brother to try it while I went to take a leak. He did it in one try.



In God of War 2 fighting the monsters on the way down the ramp before the fighting the third sister of fate (the huge fat nasty one). I always died fighting the very last group. Took like 30 tries to beat the bastards.
