The first-person turret shooter section in MGR with godawful controls which is necessary if you want to get an S-rank

Dex fucked him over.

The usual escort missions where the guy or girl you have to protect moves slower than Stephen Hawking in his wheelchair. After Hawking died.

Also, meta-bullshit. Like that one time in Deponia where you are supposed to eavesdrop on a group of rebels, but the player character says he can't make out anything because the sound of the nearby marketplace is too loud.

How do you fix that?

By turning the game's audio volume to zero.

Remind me to make saving the game, exiting to Desktop and then loading a save file from three hours before essential to solving a riddle.

>And what happened to all the security forces under his control?

You killed them in the main game?

>>15717435

>turning the game's audio volume to zero

That doesn't even make sense, since then the people you're eavesdropping on wouldn't be making any noise at all.

>>15717536

he probably meant the SFX audio

>You killed them in the main game?

The one's that protected the old CEO, the new one had about a dozen loyal people eho seem to have disappeared after finishing the last mission where you drove the truck(s) into place.

90% of the side missions in GTA games, and like 40% of the main missions in every Rockstar games since San Andreas.

>>15717536

It was the BGM slider. Slip-up on my part.

>>15717676

Side missions in open world games in general.

>liked this side mission?

>why not do it 100 times over in different locations!

Firefighting in Gravity Rush. At least, until you realize that falling close to or through the fire with whatever you've stasised to douse it works. Makes it much more manageable since it avoids the shitty hit detection just throwing them (how you'd expect to complete the mission safely) seems to have.

reward isn't worth the time it took to collect all of X

it's repeatable

Arma: Cold War Assault, that one mission where you're alone in a forest. Took me fucking upwards of ten hours, did it in one infuriating sitting. tutorial for anyone doing that shit, as soon as you spawn you have to immediately go over to one guy on the ground and pick up his rocket launcher. Then you have to shoot 1 nade from your m16 over in the direct of the guy who you see first, the one running. if it's too short or too long you won't get the desired delay effect. As soon as you do that, go a bit south but not so far as to the tree line - if you go out, you'll get sniped by one or two IFVs. right about where the hill upwards starts. You have to immediately book it east until you get to the tree line, where there will be 1 squad near in front of you. Kill them, then run up the hill until you can see the antenna of the IFV. if you timed it just right, it will move downhill after you get up there - hit it with the RPG. run up the hill asap, because there's two squads running in your direction from shallow s/e, and kill the squad up there. get in the car, and go s/e heavy on the south until you get to a the lower secondary road - down the hill from the road there's a random outhouse, that's shows you're on the right track. head west along the road towards the objective. you should be coming in from behind the target forest. there will be a shallow tree line in front that is jammed packed with guys. you have to gun it through them and then hop out and run without stopping period once you hit the main forest. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO COMPLETE THE MISSION. if you do anything else, if from the start you go in any different direction, you stray whatsoever you will be swarmed by a gorrillion fuckers or picked off by armor. if you try to go along the obvious main-road route, there's an entire platoon of men and 2 armor, as well as another helicopter.

you get one save to do this. if you can, save right before you have to kill the first squad.

i haven't played the game in two months and still have this memorized

fuck

tank mission, flying machine mission full sync in AC2

>>15728972

>save right before

right after

>>15728981

>AC2

Ace Combat, Armored Core, Assassin's Creed, Asheron's Call or Animal Crossing?

>>15728989

>Avalon Code 2 never.

>>15728972

>THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO COMPLETE THE MISSION

wrong

>>15728972

just steal a car from the nearest village and drive to the spot where you're supposed to go, you don't have to shoot anybody and it takes like 5 minutes if you avoid the roads occupied by enemies

>>15717526

>Fuck this bitch

you do

The missions in RDR2 are fucking unbearable. If you're not following some dude listening to boring dialogue, you're driving a slow ass cart somewhere listening to boring dialogue, after that you'll get to see some cutscenes with boring dialogue and then maybe you'll get a highly scripted chase sequence that just takes you somewhere so that a cutscene with boring dialogue can trigger or you get a shootout scene where the only danger is that the retard you're with gets shot. I was fucking elated when I got the first mission where I was actually alone and didn't have to listen to some fucking dickhead yammering on and on and on but of course the next mission was a "drive this cart for women's suffarage and listen to dialogue". I can play maybe 1 or 2 missions per day before I have to quit because it's such an insuffarable game. What pisses me off most is that sometimes the game doesn't let you use its mechanics, it takes away the ability to run or use items/guns whenever it pleases so it's hard to fail the missions in fun ways like blowing up the suffragettes with dynamite.

Any mission in an RTS where you have to defend a point for a set amount of time.

>he couldn't stay out of her line of fire

Why did you buy it? I was somewhat interested and watched some streams of it to give it a fair shake before hopping on the hatewagon. I came to a similar conclusion, from just observing the game I noticed it was just a bunch of scripted shit and more dialogue than a wordy JRPG with bits of shooting that resembled GTAV, so I instantly decided the game wasn't going to be worth my time.

It doesn't help that the only people I see praising the game IRL are some braindead stoners I work with. Naturally all they need for amusement is pretty shit to look at and mild levels of interaction.

>>15728989

Don't you mean AC Brotherhood?

>>15730008

I didn't buy it, my roommate did and he barely completed the (3 hour) tutorial before he dropped it. I go in every other day to see if it'll get better, do 1 or 2 missions and become so frustrated I have to stop. I like RDR more because you got to be a lone gunslinger for most of the game but in this you're constantly dragging 1-10 useless shits with you and if they die or you go more than 10 feet from them, the mission is failed. There is no tension in any chase scene because you CAN'T catch anyone before the script plays out so every mission feels like a super long interactive cutscene.

>he barely completed the (3 hour) tutorial before he dropped it

I keep hearing the "it gets good after X hours" defense from my coworkers. I wonder how many people keep chugging through that game due to buyers remorse.

>>15730186

I'd guess quite many. I've read the same thing too as if it was somehow a defense for the game. I'll accept that maybe the first hour being kind of boring could be acceptable, but "it gets good after 10 hours" is just bullshit and I really doubt it. I keep playing it to see if they just really really majorly fucked up the beginning and there is a whole other game after hours of boring bullshit. It's really hard and I have no actual hope for the game getting better. I guess I just enjoy getting mad at this game every other day.

>>15729673

The only other semi-successful route is going north-east from the start and getting lucky. But there's two squads out that way as well, 3 if you get there early, and you'll have to walk twenty minutes to get to vehicle

>>15729728

The supposedly correct side of the forest is crawling with enemies & a helicopter, and there's a picket of guys by the second village.

That one AR mission in arkham city.

You know which one.

>>15729783

what anime is that? looks like fucking garbage. Why are you posting your terrible anime screenshots on /v/?

That airport chase mission in the PC version of Saints Row 2, good luck turning tight corners and not losing the enemy when the game is at double speed and you're steering with keyboard. It's doable, but not fun in the slightest.
