What part of a game you enjoy replaying do you dislike replaying?

I love the original Hotline Miami but I’m not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.

Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that’s because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas’ ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell’s house.

gunpachi,

Fighting street thugs in the Yakuza games. The man can’t even walk peacefully for 2 mins.

The problem is even worse with Yakuza 7. The RPG fighting mechanic makes me feel like fighting is a chore. To add to that, you cant even run away from these fights.

Generally the escort missions or forced on rails/stealth sections in open world games where you have specific builds and play styles

Bitflip,

The tutorial

RGB3x3,

Every game should have a tutorial skip.

Like, I’m on my first BG3 campaign and I can tell that I’m going to get annoyed when I have to play that ship intro again.

Unless there’s a way to skip it that I don’t know about.

I_Has_A_Hat,

On the flip side, every RPG should have a “Busy Adult” setting that recaps where you are, what you were doing, and possibly even a brief reexplainstion of the controls because you haven’t gotten the chance to play in 7 months.

Crashumbc,

Cyberpunk - the learning to use the deck thing and a couple other spots with crazy looking cut scenes you can’t skip or save during. It’s like you HAVE TO PLAN to be able to play the next 15 minutes without stopping.

Witcher 3, same issue.

you can skip the deck thing I think. you get a choice with jackie about slotting the training chip. I mean unless you want to do the other turorial parts for some reason but not the deck.

KOTOR 1. Taris is cool but let’s be honest. I play that game because I like playing a Jedi. I’ve also played it from start to finish at least 20 times.

richieadler,

I haven’t got to your numbers, but I’ve enjoyed playing it quite a few times.

I got a perverse pleasure in going Dark Side and perverting Bastila…

I’m such a carebear. I’ve never played a darkside character because I love the supporting characters too much 😅

I’m playing Starfield right now and I know I’m going to HATE the mission “Entangled” every time.

In Final Fantasy 12, that world in the desert with circular platforms, it was really a pain.

Final Fantasy X, that lightning field.

Dragon age origins : That lagoon in the middle of the desert where you need to search for crystals. The place is a labyrinth.

Mass Effect Trilogy : NOTHING.

Viper_NZ,

The ending of 3. It still sucks.

Mass Effect 2 would suck without the “zero probe. All resources” mod.

Mods really improved the game in general, tbh.

Linuto,

For Mass Effect, I gotta say I hate driving anywhere in the first game.

Mako’s handling is almost a meme at this point but I liked it

Linuto,

I guess I didn’t mind the Mako’s handling as much as the big empty planets that felt like they were designed not to be driven in.

MargotRobbie,

The Fade part of Dragon Age Origins. It was great when you explore it the first time, but after that it became a chore to collect all the item on a list.

Terraria. I love Terraria but the start is a chore to get through with how slow everything is. It’s still not enough to stop me of course, the game is just too much fun

NoneYa, (edited )

I despise tutorials in nearly every game I play, especially for replayability. But even in new games because the hand holding is unnecessary.

Pokémon is the worst offender of this for me.

Better to have it skippable and if someone decides they need it, let them come back to it.

GTA: San Andreas, OG Loc mission. I'm much better at it after all these years, but I still run into at least 5 walls and fall off my bike every time. It's way harder than the train mission.

trslim,

Doom 1993 I do not like Episode 2 very much. Episode 1 has masterful level design, and Episode 3 has the abstract hell levels that are visually interesting, even if they aren’t that great to play. Episode 2 is just kind of boring. It does have the Tower of Babel tho, that’s a highlight.

Mandy,

Im a pokemon “gen unner” kinda gal, so take what I say with a grain of salt, I like collecting weird creatures exploring all the funky stuff I can find but…

I hate grinding and actually fighting random battles.

The gyms and elite 4 are cool tho

Sylvartas,

Imo that part was much worse in gen 1. When they started adding multi exp and all that stuff it made grinding much less annoying

Mandy,

I havent seen a much better feeling for the grind up until sun and moon even, random battles where as annoying as ever

Sylvartas,

Tbh I didn’t really play any games after 3rd gen until the 2nd gen remakes on the DS. But yeah random encounters are annoying in every game they’re a part of

Glide,

I’ve been saying for a while now that we’re just beyond the world of grindy, random encounters. The early games weren’t fun because of the dozens of zubats we had to deal with. They weren’t even “harder” for these reasons, despite the absurd opinions you’ll stumble across online. Remembering to stock up on repels isn’t really a skill check. Completing the set challenges that you are aware of and planning around then is fun. Having to smash “A” through random encounters and opening the menu to hit a Fresh Water every once in a while is not.

Mandy,

Yeah seriously but when you bring it up, may arceus have mercy on your soul

yazirian,

I call Nier:Automata "the best game I will never play again" and it's because of 9S' combat.

What were they thinking? No one cares about 9S anyway! But he's your playable for well more than what should only have been his one-third the game, and his combat is AWFUL! If I wanted to play Asteroids I'd play Asteroids. You have two other playable characters, both of which chop up robots with giant swords! THAT'S what people are here for, know your audience!

For me all of nier automata’s gameplay was terrible, and the story too but that is something I know not many people will agree with me on

cevn,

I could not even figure how to get to the second playthru. But I am probably just dumb. But it definitely didn’t land for me. Anime was great though.

seliaste,
@seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You just load your save iirc. The game is not really finished until the 5th ending

Zozano,

Do you mean the 26th ending?

seliaste,
@seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

The 21 other “endings” are just rly dumb imo, except for the one of them that’s pretty special but that I would have never encountered ingame without looking at the wiki

Zozano,

I’m salty that one of them is missable too.

Also, catching that one fish…

A perfect save is so far out of reach.

I love Cyberpunk 2077, probably one of my favourite games ever and I’ve beaten it something like a dozen times. I still hate talking with Evelyn and doing the heist. It’s such a slog once you know what to expect. At least they made the BD tutorial skippable.

Shyfer,

A dozen times? Damn that’s a lot lol. I’m about to play out my second since the expansion is out. My first playthrough was a Nomad sniper / Gorilla Arms / baseball at wielding punk. I think my second time I’ll go with a Corpo stealth net runner.

scytale,

Anytime you need to fly a helicopter in GTA Vice City.
