KOTOR 2 - Has quite a few pain points for me, usually when they make you swap characters, but by far the longest stretch that makes me reconsider replaying is the surface of Telos. It's just a bore until you reach Atris and feels like it takes forever.
I actually like Pergaus outside of the T3 part though, which I guess makes me a KOTOR 2 heretic. The atmosphere and mystery is just fantastically done.
I loved peragus the first time through, but the more I replay it the more it's just having to run around to all the terminals in the right order while being slowed down with the easy but tedious fights, esp with not a str or dex build and harder difficulty.
And that conversation with the hk is so annoying, like I know you'll tell me the password, but it always takes me so much time to find the dialog path to get him to say it in the voice for some reason.
I really like the character swap sections though, especially the onderon ones. It adds more difficulty and makes party builds matter. Otherwise I feel like I just blow through everything with mc even solo
KOTOR 1 for me. Manaan. All of it. Literally the first thing to pop in my head.
It just feels so slow. Mostly because there's so much walking back and forth and the seafloor segments are even slower in the high pressure suit.
Blighttown.
I've only done it from the depths like twice. Master key or valley of the drakes all the way.
Fallout 1. Killing my way out of 1000 rats to finally leave vault 13.
Huh? You can easily outrun them.
Half Life: Xen. All of it. I hate it
Super Mario RPG: Having to jump up to nimbus land fucking sucks
Chrono Trigger: First time going to the Dark Ages before Kajar/Enhasa..just boring really
I'll echo OP and say that if you haven't tried Black Mesa, I highly recommend it. The xen intro is breathtaking in my opinion.
I second this. I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of Xen in Black Mesa. I really feel like they really did justice to what the original devs could have accomplished if they had more time.
I haven't been so fully engrossed in a game like that since... Well Half Life Alyx I guess. Truly a great feeling.
Have you played Black Mesa? I felt it did a great job when it came to Xen. Probably one of my favorite parts of the game
Ravenholm in Half Life 2 cause I get scared. Why yes. You are correct, I am a wussy little piss baby.
All you had to do was follow the damn train, cj!
hate it
I'm playing Starfield right now and I know I'm going to HATE the mission "Entangled" every time.
In Final Fantasy 12, that world in the desert with circular platforms, it was really a pain.
Final Fantasy X, that lightning field.
Dragon age origins : That lagoon in the middle of the desert where you need to search for crystals. The place is a labyrinth.
Mass Effect Trilogy : NOTHING.
Mass Effect 2 would suck without the "zero probe. All resources" mod.
Mods really improved the game in general, tbh.
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 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.
The sewer section in Vampire Bloodlines. It's a long action/combat sequence that totally does not fit with the rest of the gameplay.
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.
God of war tower in hades or the pandoras box level cluster.
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.
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.
Metro 2033 taking the kid on your back making your aim go all wonky
