"All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ!" So much this. I never finished GTA San Andreas because of this.

Ugh, that bloody tour of Shattrath City, or the similar tour of the Caverns of Time back during The Burning Crusade. I just had the same issue in Suramar during Legion. Taking a tour of a wine Vinyard and constantly running and stopping, so damn annoying. I forgot if it was one of the Hulk games or Wolverine (probably both) but the games had you rampaging through every level until boom stealth mission. I think with the Hulk game you're playing as Banner the last person I want to play as in a Hulk game. That was the game loosely based on the 2003 Hulk movie. You spend the majority of the game shrugging off bazooka rounds and throwing tanks, then you have to escape from a cave of Gamma irradiated dogs as Banner without being seen. Utter rubbish. There was a Wolverine game with a similar thing early on in the game itself. Can't remember the game, but Wolverine is in a plane crash early on that knocks his health down to 1% and for some reason slows his healing factor. You then end up sneaking around a military base trying desperately not to be seen. Oh and if you pop your claws it stops your healing factor working. WHY???

Ugh I just had a flashback reading this. I had that Hulk game for PC and I never finished it, that cave thing was absolutely ridiculous. It's the main reason I was so excited for Ultimate Destruction haha

I'm a huge fan of Genesis era sonic, but I've always hated the special stages except for the blue spheres. Even those, I didn't learn to enjoy until a few years ago.

Mandatory racing segments in games where driving wasn't a thing up 'til that point. If I've been driving around the entire time, it's not as bad.
Fetch quests where the objective is in some out of the way area and/or blends in with the scenery.
Dungeons with high encounter rates!

Also must mention the PS2 game Area 51 here (famous for the lead character being voiced by David Duchovny). A relatively straightforward first person shooter with the usual escort/timed exits/defend a stationary target missions - until you get near to the very end where all of a suden you have to do a ridiculous duck and cover fight with a sniper rifle while trying to turn on an energy bridge.
Thing is, if you turn the bridge on, all the enemies you've just killed respawn, and you've got to kill them with the sniper rifle all over again. Pointless.

Filming the stunt sequences in one long section rather than individually. "Yeah you nailed that jump, but you went a little wide on that handbrake turn... ok everyone reset lets start again... what do you mean we need more explosives!?"

Ever play Stuntman: Ignition? I think it's a huge improvement over the first one.

I know this is Bethesda's go to move, but when an NPC asks you to risk your life to retrieve a book or some shit while they sit on a rock doing nothing.

I never minded those, just saw them as little bonuses. If you want to go for Sonic, the underwater levels! Move about 8x slower, and need to go to random points every few seconds for air, and if you don't, you get nightmarish music and drown.

Getting into first place right away in multiplayer Mario Kart is like walking in a cave full of starving bears while covered in honey. Getting the special speed boost is basically signing your own death certificate.

Ice puzzles and water levels can be good. They're usually not, though. When making one, please try and make sure to not be wasting everyone's f***ing time, please, developers. You can either pull it off with interesting physics and design, or you can't. I'm including excellent games in that, too. The ice physics in Link to the Past suck, and so do Link's swimming controls, which thankfully is usually only used in brief spurts. I hate the ice levels in any Mega Man game f*** Blizzard Wolfgang's stage. Then again, f*** Mega Man X6.

Let me restate my hate for that f***ing train mission in GTA4. It’s a train. Following a predetermined path. Making schedules stops. You have to aim the camera at the f***ing thing and drive. The mission is to kill the dude on it you need to.
You fail, not if the train beats you to the stop, that makes sense. You lose if you can’t see the train.
