And just about every game in the series had some crap like this. 2 had the Freezeman search. 4 had the 50 points for the Hawk torunament (or was it the RS/BM torunament?) and 5 had those awful liberation missions.

I did like the MJ one where you pointed out the bad guys, and Spidey would stealth pick them up for you. That was kind of fun. I think that's what happened...
That was the best iteration of it, but most of them are just following a pre-set path with designated distractions/obstacles to hide behind/run between. They're trial and error mixed with waiting and seeing, and while it really isn't 'awful' it's just not the game I signed up for.

90% of the game is mind-blowingly good Spider-Man content, but the stealth segments made me want to groan. If you want to break up the pacing, have some Peter segments where he's in public and can't openly use his powers and has to accomplish something discrete; that'd be a cooler way to work in some stealth. Just being MJ and having no unique abilities feels lame.

triforce hunt in wind wake
Even with the HD version and the map that shows you exactly where to go, this part was tedious. Then again, most of the sailing was tedious. Fast travel needed to come sooner and just let you port to any square you've explored, imo. There's fun in discovering new locations, but it's a lot less fun to have to sail to them several times back and forth.

That "secret agent" you have to follow in Spyro 2

Hollow Bastion in KH1

That cave in FF4 where you can't use metal equipment

Ah this.

Also the tram ride from Half-Life. When you boot it up for the first time, you just sit around and wait for 5 minutes for the game to actually start.

Rom the Vacuous Spider

I love Bloodborne to death, it might even be by #1 of all time, but that boss is just not fun

The spiders themselves can kill you way too easily, theres a million of them, and it's super easy for Rom to snipe you with the magic missiles while dealing with them

And if you decide to ignore them, the fight is gonna be a 20 minute ordeal of kiting them all to one side so you can run in, take a potshot at Rom, then run out and repeat

50 points was the Hawk Tournament. I remember hating the music from that ride level where you had to complete the stories in order to progress.

Another annoying part in BN4 was that one soccer game with the bombs in the RS/BM tourneys. That was pure trash!

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
The goddamned sewer. It's incredibly long, full of dangerous enemies, offers little in the way of blood, and, oh yeah, the goddamned swimming puzzles. It's also one of the least visually interesting areas in the game. Just awful. Most fan patches include a secret hatch towards the beginning that can be accessed by hacking for this very reason. It takes you straight to the last part of the sewers, getting around the horrible swimming segments.

oh fuck I forgot about this one

Yeah that was awful, it was so long and dull I legitimately thought my name was bugged

3 is full of this stuff tbh. I think the logic was to encourage players to farm for new chips and chip codes, but any satisfaction was always undone by stores immediately selling the chip after you get it the first time. Ok Mamoru, I found the super rare chip that will serve as a sign of our friendship and give you the strength to cling to life, hope you never check out Higsby's after this and see he's now peddling it for like 40 bucks.

I really liked Final Fantasy 15, but Crestholm Channel is - without question - the worst sewer level I have ever played in any game. It's massive, confusing and easy to get lost, even for a sewer level.

Demon Ruins + Lost Izalith in Dark Souls 1. Especially since it caps off with the worst "boss fight" in the entire Soulsbourne series. I also though Blight Town was pretty crappy as well due to the framerate falling off a cliff in that section, though aside from that it was still far better designed than the lava sections.

The "insane asylum" sections in The Darkness 2. I think there's 3 or 4 of them but I've always hated the story trope of "maybe Character X has just made up this world in their head because they are insane" angle. Every TV show has that episode and when it shows up in games its annoying.

The secret agent thing was kinda funny but it was so absurdly trial and error that it just turned super frustrating.

Hallow Bastion is just annoying af because it's so dang mazey. Bonus points for how long it takes to go places on the elevator thing. Though I guess Monstro is a better pick now that I think about it.

I don't disagree that that section was bad but I do disagree that that was a good game.

I hated it, myself. Badly needed checkpoints before the bosses. And not consumable ones.
