Place you hate to visit in games

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I feel a bit bad for the people saying The Fade in DA:O as they obviously didn't realise that you were supposed to use the different completely overpowered forms to beat it. :|

I agree with Oblivion I hated those freaking portals they completely put me off playing the game. The world is just so cliche and fugly. I hate it.

 

[EvilMaggot]

its not really a place... but the escort part in Crysis 1.... rather... any escort mission or quest i just hate :/

Ravenholm.

Never again.

NEVER

I really REALLY hate Ravenholm. Headcrabs scare me and I'm reluctant to ask for someone to sit with me as my incredibly bratty and annoying sister always asks me for help and I want to set an example. I played through half of Ravenholm by having the game in Windowed Mode with Guile's Theme playing in the background, but when I caught my first glimpse of a Poison Zombie, I was 'screw that' and I turned off the game.

HURR HURR.

I know ignorant post is ignorant, but what Ravenholm really that scary?

Once you found the sawblades or got the shotgun, the whole thing was trivial.....

It was the atmosphere, considering it wasn't trying to be a horror FPS, but ended up feeling like the Silent Zombie Apocalypse Hill, it did fucking well.

Taris in KOTOR. Irenicus' Dungeon seems like a breeze in comparison.

 

[Reaper69lol]

The sewers in Red Faction 2....

 

[captaincabbage]

sewers, they are almost universally boring

I think I could potentially one-up you on this matter, as my personal choice is the universal "Industrial District".

 

[ascorbius]

Ravenholm - I don't go to Ravenholm.. unless I have to. Give me a room full of Combine soldiers any day.. I hate the linear nature of it. It feels forced whereas the rest of the game at least gives the illusion of choice... Truth be told, I just hate those poison headcrabs.. urghhh... evil little f**kers!


I didn't like the Dungeons in Oblivion too much, but they were OK to spend an hour doing to get some loot.. I hated the sticky red blood soaked tunnels of the Oblivion towers - So I used night eye goggles.. all blue, much better.

Lava levels in any game... I mean Lava? Really? there's nothing else dangerous you could think of? Lazy Lazy design.

 

[proandi]

Most areas in WOW or Final Fantasy Online. Takes far too long to get anywhere, it kills me as I really want to like an MMO.

Also Sewers in Fallout 3 or any RPG where you have to kills rats or something.

 

[Araksardet]

Those dumb "exploration" planets in Mass Effect... with the Mako. *shudder*

Noob areas in vanilla WoW were amazingly boring, especially Durotar (doubly so because I always played as Orcs, so I had to see it way too often).

That one level in the first Jazz Jackrabbit game where you were bouncing around all the time and you couldn't get through a certain part if your computer was too good, because the game went too fast for you to get through a tiny little opening (fourth full planet, I think).

 

[PunkZERO]

Any kind of generic dungeon that's just there for reasons of grind and/or artificial play-time-enhancement.

 

[ruben6f]

Oblivion the dark caves, I wold just climb over them or swim in lava if I had too, and any dungeon or cave that had zombies or another scary monster.

 

[Apollo45]

The planets in Mass Effect 2 were so incredibly bad, Mass Effect 2 now stands at one of the few games where i've had to use a Trainer to beat it.
I downloaded a trainer, got all my upgrade points, and then bought everything.

I only count this as half cheating because the planet scanning thing was put in Mass Effect 2 to keep 'Jeff', the resident retarded child happy. No one wanted to deal with the tantrums he would throw if it got left out.

Seriously, fuck the planet probe.


Also, Oblivion gates. Freaked me out for a while until i got some good spells, then just strolled through them with ease.
The Fade is now included in my own personal hell - when i get to hell, i will be forced to play through that level 5,000 times with the weakest characters available.


The water temples in most Zelda games get a mention, too.

This man has said everything I was going to say.

Seriously though, fuck the water temple. It literally made it impossible for me to beat my first runthrough of OoT because I used the wrong key in the wrong fucking door. I had to go buy a strategy guide just to figure out the level was a piece of shit and I had to replay my ENTIRE FUCKING GAME.

Oblivion gates were annoying at first, then they got easy, then they got tedious.

The Fade... Well, first time through I thought it wasn't too bad. Second time through I managed to power through it. Third time through... I downloaded a mod that let me skip the whole thing. Place sucked.

And... well... "Probing Uranus... Very funny Commander" was the only, THE ONLY, good part about that.

Then there are the starting levels on both KOTORs...

And every dungeon and combat event (and, arguably, the city itself) past Act 1 of DA2...

And the Maco in Mass Effect...

You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize that Bioware has an extremely bad track record of throwing in at least one horribly tedious yet absolutely necessary area in every game they've ever made...

 

[Ailia]

Oh god, I thought of another one, IRENICUS' DUNGEON IN BALDUR'S GATE II. FFFF.

There's a mod to remove it. That being said, I've never minded the place all that much. It's pretty interesting. It's just that if you constantly start over to try out another class, then this is the place you're going to see the most. I think not having access to enough gear to really customize your characters the way you want to is the most annoying thing about it.

That mod made my life. I adore the game to bits but after the 7th character that dungeon is like pulling your own teeth out.

I'm going to go with the dark caves in Pokemon too. If I run into one with a Pokemon with Flash I'm too damn stubborn to go get one and stumble along in the dark. Topped with random-encounters every few steps, I just despise those.

 

[Vakz]

Caves. I have yet to find a cave I couldn't get lost in. On top of that, there seems to be spiders in every single one of them. I hate spiders..

 

[Fiad]

That Canyon in New Vegas full of death claws, hated it every time I went there. Saved all of my stealth boys just for that.

 

[Baldry]

The starting area and the final area of KotOR. Seriously it was just so barren and empty, I felt so alone I hated it!

 

[Porecomesis]

HURR HURR.

I know ignorant post is ignorant, but what Ravenholm really that scary?

Trust me, I know how to use the shotgun and the sawblades. I just hate Headrcrabs. They scare the hell out of me. Especially the Poison ones.
