Any game where you play a mildly athletic character and WATER KILLS YOU IF YOU FALL INTO IT. I never understood why water would instantly kill you.  |

Chrono Trigger DS Lost Sanctum. Dumb fetch quests and that FREAKING MOUNTAIN. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!</avgn> Nothing bad must be said about Chrono Trigger, I mean Square and Toriyama designs, it's the best Snes game ever. SNES stuff, great. Black Omen and the Vortexes? Serviceable. The final fight with Zeal is actually pretty cool even. But the Lost Sanctum. . . And to a lesser degree the Arena of the Ages, though at least that's totally pointless. |

Just remembered one.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - basically any time you're forced to play as Mario & Luigi. Both the writing and the gameplay is so much better as Bowser it's not even funny.

One thing that comes to mind from a recent new run through the game is the purple coin missions of Super Mario Galaxy. Almost all of those fall somewhere between "boring as all hell" and " Luigi's Purple Coins". This x over 9000! I really hope whoever came up with that idea was demoted. |

Any game where you play a mildly athletic character and WATER KILLS YOU IF YOU FALL INTO IT. Yeah, that was annoying as hell in Assassin's Creed... I'm honestly glad Ezio doesn't die in water in AC2, because that would drive me nuts in a certain city... |

Rainbow Road on any Mario Kart. My GF just got Mario Kart Wii, and Rainbow Road is the anti-Christ if you're playing with the f***ing steering wheel You're playing with the steering wheel? Holy f***ing s*** thats hard! I find using the wheel to be the easiest way to play. I think I have only lost 4 races using it. |

I personally find that when a Wii game gives you a choice of what controller to use, the Gamecube one is usually the best. Not to take away from the Wiimote, but in Brawl, Mario Kart, and assorted Virtual Console games I find the Gamecube and Classic Controllers much easier to use. Can at least still usually use the Wiimote just fine in those cases, though; Brawl is an exception, however, as I just cannot get into the hang of using the Wiimote or the Nunchuk for it at all.

There's this very enjoyable game called Tales of Symphonia, and there's this place called the Ymir Forest that is not very enjoyable. Why is this so? Well, the puzzle in the Ymir Forest dictates that you have to get this fruit for an kid who we shall call Elfboy. Elfboy is the solitary watchman of the entrance to the hidden village of the elves, and I might add, it's not even his official position. He's just there to get the Ymir Fruit for his sick mommy. So naturally, Mary Sue Flattits Colette suggests we go out of our way to get it for him. But the damn thing is stuck in a tree that hangs high above a lake that looks to be maybe seven feet deep and about half as far from the nearest body of land. So if you don't summon a fish to get the fruit using a special function of the Sorceror's Ring, the fruit floats away and presumably sinks. You have to guide this fish through an obstacle course of very large and very angry predatory fish, tricking wild boars into charging at trees to drop bugs to catch the big fishes' attention (...) so the little fishie can swim about HALF A SMURFING MILE through the Ymir Forest and bring the fruit to you. This process takes about ten minutes from start to finish. This is the only option available to you, because this pristine, extremely clean-looking water is apparently the only thing that can kill your Lv60 party. It's just too bad you don't have some other way of getting the fruit from the water. Like, say, summoning the Summon Spirit of Water. You know, the first Summon Spirit you get in the game. Which was about thirty hours ago. Who's specifically used her powers on the first flippin' disc to save your ass by creating a geyser that breaks your fall from a giant drawbridge.  |

I'm just playing thru Half-Life 2 for the first time, and I'm with you to a point. The boat's controls I didn't mind much (mostly, it was when it would decide to turn in exactly the opposite way I'm directing it to), but I've just started the car mission, and I don't like it much. It's so finicky and has horrible turning, that I just want it over with. Still a great game, though. |

And then when you get done with the car stuff? Part of you will want it back. Won't spoil it for you.

I actually like how this year's Bionic Commando did the "falling into water = instant death" thing. You don't INSTANTLY die, you actually get a few seconds to try and grapple onto something to get out of the water, but after that you sink and drown because your robot arm makes you too heavy.
As for me, I recently had an "ugh" moment. Dead Space. Basically the mission structure for every chapter after chapter 6. Why? Because by that point, I realized that the mission structures for every chapter was the SAME, you start at one far end of that part of the ship and you must run all over that section of the ship finding certain collectible items or killing so many specific aliens or whatever. Basically once a chapter began, I said, "Please don't make me run to the other end of the ship just to gather parts to make a vibrator that whistles Yankee-Doodle-Dandy. *checks map* Son of a bitch......"
The game was still good, I just HATED how extremely repetitive it got. At least another extremely repetitive game, Assassin's Creed 1, had some variety to it regardless, you could actually do things. In Dead Space, well not so much.

Madden 06 360, not to mention it tops the list of worst games I've ever bought for £45 no less, but there is an achievement for playing 30 years of franchise mode. Even simming it took f***ing four hours. I don't know, I should of just snapped the game in half and not even bothered.
The Zombie Genocider/Mega Buster unlock in Dead Rising. I've had this game for four years and I'm only just about to unlock it. The game is too hard for me and I need this f***ing gun but you have to spend about five hours repeatedly running over zombies whilst you come to terms with where your life went wrong. >_<

Fighting Lu Bu in any Dynasty Warriors story mode. Guy is a beast Edit: To be precise, I was playing Musou mode as Guan Yu on the battle of Hu Lao Gate in Dynasty Warriors 6. Tank would know the level. When you break open a gate, Lu Bu spawns who is invincible if you are early on in the game. Well I bail out and enter the base over the wall. Now Lu Bu is out there destroying everyone so I figure I can kill Dong Zhou without having to bother with Lu Bu. Now I've almost beaten him when suddenly Lu Bu comes out of nowhere and kills me in seconds. I actually managed to beat Lu Bu as Zhou Yu by spamming his monkey Flip throw, much to the amazement of my friend who was getting constantly pwned by him. It was the only time I managed to beat him without going back a level 30-ish character. I gotta say at the moment though, Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign is really starting to annoy me. You fight your way through hordes of Tekken Force commandos, Fight Nina & THEN fight Jin and THEN {Spoiler}You fight Alisa. The last one really makes me hate this game because she has the cheapest combos EVER & she has two Juggernaut guards helping her. |

The first 3-4 months of Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth. The best story mode in the series' history, but the first few months where you're on Heat or limited to one show are just tedious.
