I'm with you all on the plane of Oblivion, it's horribly lonely and unbelievably dull.
Being underwater in FF7 was always a big thing for me, because the Shinra sub is not very fast and I was always afraid of Emerald Weapon sneaking up on me, I was nowhere near ready to face it. I remember panicking as the damn thing crept up on me and managed to hit the surface button just before it drew me into battle.
Phew.

Vaults, in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Any of 'em.
"You must go to Vault ## and retrieve this thing that we need."
"Can I get it anywhere else?"
"No."
"Have you checked?"
"Yes."
"What's in the Vault?"
"Feral Ghouls, radiation up the arse and a labyrinth-esque layout of identical tunnels."
"Is this a main story quest?"
"No, why?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHNOPE, KTHXBYE."

Those Oblivion gates were terrible!!! The areas were monotonous and difficult all at once. I had no incentive to go inside; consequently, I've only played the game casually and haven't progressed through the story much at all.
I also agree with Worgen in that sewers are 'almost universally boring.'
The hub-like temple in Phantom Hourglass (the one you have to revisit and redo several times) is very dull, and the caves in Pokemon are often rather frustrating.

Any underwater levels where I have to swim in a vast ocean/lake/body of water.
Seriously Super Mario 64 and your damn eels. Everything has nice, calm music, and then "Oh my god, WHATTHEFUDGEISTHAT!!!!!"
Bear in mind, I was 8.

The damn Ocean Temple in Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. You have to go there so many times in the game and you gotta keep doing the same puzzles over and over again. Oh, there's also a bloody time limit!
The horse riding section from the first Assassin's Creed especially since I wanted all the view points and having to walk past every single guard in a pace slower then a snail was so frustrating. And when I did get bored enough to gallop on I'd get chased by hundreds of guards that I had to dispatch before I could climb the viewpoints. I am so glad they ditched this for the second game.
The Temple at the beginning of Fallout 2.
If you didn't make a melee-hand combat character it takes so bloody long to get through.

As much as I love Dragon Age: Origins, two places in that game can go fuck themselves.
The first being the Fade because it's so goddamn longwinded and I know I'm not alone in this because on PC there's a mod to skip the whole damn thing (frankly that person is a saint).
The next is Orzammar. The worst part of the game by far and the quest that I always leave last, if not because of the idiotic difficulty curve but how bloody boring it is.

It can be done. You just need to solo the burning tower. Which to be honest is the easiest one. Then you have burning man who can just use fireball on his own feet and win everything.WaywardHaymaker said:
OT: I hate space. Really, I think space is boring. I don't like space at all.
Until recently I just thought I hated Sci Fi, then I realised, that I fucking love those "sciency, but bullshit shows and stuff like Fringe and Heroes like how they try to explain fictional things with pretend science, what do you call that... *face plam* Science Fiction."
So yeah, I now don't baulk at SciFi. Just space. It makes my life better.
I love that game so much, but it seriously took me, like, three years to finish it because I'd get to that bit, and stop playing because it was so scary. There were a couple of other bits that scared me later in the game, but nothing as much as the hotel.The_ModeRazor said:
I hate going underwater in any game. I never bothered with the Oasis quest in Fallout 3 because, seriously, fuck going underwater. And I got my lockpick skill up to 100 so that I could pick the lock to get into the sunken part of Rivet City because, seriously, fuck going underwater. And I stopped playing the first Half Life for a couple of days when it came to the bit with that motherfucking fish because, seriously, fuck going underwater. And that eel in Mario 64 that gave me nightmares. And the scariest part of Resident Evil for me was wading through waist-high water. The first game that ever actually made me feel scared was Ecco the Dolphin.
For other general specifics, I hate the Fade in Dragon Age because it's boring and the same every time you play it. I hate the Temple of Trials and the dungeon of Keeng Ra'at in Fallout 2 because they're boring and retarded. And I hate that level in Banjo Kazooie that has the shark because, seriously, fuck going underwater.
The mother fuckin water temple, OoT. Also, Twilight Town (as Roxas) in KH2. Dark caves in pokemon.
ANYTHING underwater. Seriously, I'm always scared some huge leviathan is going to om-nom-nom my poor little PC...
