"That Part" That Stops You Replaying a Game

[Nelson2001 Nelson2001]

The Doc Robots from Megaman 3. It's just padding.

I also have anger at those bosses for being unfair and on top of the attacks and contact on the Doc Robot who has Wood Man's ability and Quick Man's ability which is 8 pts. of damage and I do get angry at facing bosses this unfair and I even had to use a weapon like Snake Search to defeat it faster (4 pts. Damage) and I even had to use up to 2 E Tanks if I don't want to fail in the battle.

The routes between mauville city and lavaridge towm in Pokémon 3 gen, oh my god, it never ends, most trainers uses the same underleveled Pokémon over and over, the rival battle here is harder than usual, there is the trap house which is not only useless, but frustrating, the only run two runs I passed thought that, I finished the game.

btw, this route is so bad, even in the manga they cutted most of it off.

OK, that's pretty funny.

 

[grifoXD]

OK, that's pretty funny.

men, in the battle frontier is even funnier, there are some scenes when the mc of that arc is at the end of a challenge and the audience is sleeping

Mostly RPGs since they take so much damned time to get through. It's great the first time for the experience to see it to the end. Even new game+ type stuff is fine for completion sake. Though less so a second time around.

Other than that, I've rarely gone back and played those types of games again (barring shorter ones like Chrono Trigger and Earthbound). Hell, most the time I decide not to play ones I haven't played if I prefer to play a different one over it. I dropped the Pokemon franchise entirely since I'd rather play something else that's that time consuming.

R-Type III Stage 4


the goddamn foundry


(also stage F-C in R-Type FINAL on PS2 but at least that's a secret ending you're not forced to do)

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Half-Life 1 final endboss after countless tries i gave up and uninstalled it to watch the ending in a lets-play. Tho i got myself the remake Black Mesa... i'm sure they made the final battle less of a PITA

How is it possible to get stuck facing the nihilanth? First time i see someone soft locked on it....was it long ago? You still remember how it happened?

I've never finished playing Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II because the game literally forces you to choose a side between Good and Evil, and I wanted to RP a gray jedi.

So much for not dealing in absolutes, huh?

 

[CaptainToad]

The slow starts to pretty much every game, honestly. Especially stuff like the intro to Twilight Princess or Persona 3 and stuff. I cannot stand intros that have little-to-no gameplay for 30+ minutes. I'm fine with it the first time, but every subsequent time it's a big time investment if I want to try a game again.

I'll replay Twilight Princess eventually, but not until I finish every other Zelda game, I guess.

There's no such thing as a grey jedi

You can't realistically stay neutral forever. Eventually you'd have to pick a side or just remove yourself from the story and sit on the sidelines. Star Wars always deals in absolutes. Even Ahsoka Tano, who doesn't identify with the Sith or the jedis inevitably always finds herself helping the light side.

 

[Blamhammer]

Didn't really have a game where I wanted to avoid replaying a part again but while replaying Shenmue, Mark says to be on time tomorrow morning for work.
And the next real day after finishing the day from my real job i've not touched the game since then.

I don't feel like arguing, so I'll skip to being right:
AI Overview:
Gray Jedi in Star Wars:

In Star Wars, a "gray Jedi" is a Force user who walks the line between the light and dark sides of the Force without succumbing to the dark side. They find balance by using both sides, and some say they have better perspective than those who stick to one side. The term can also refer to Jedi who distance themselves from the Jedi High Council and Code.

• Characteristics:
  Gray Jedi don't see things in black and white, and they balance the light and dark sides of the Force. Some can use both light and dark side Force abilities.
• Examples:
  Jolee Bindo, a former Jedi Padawan who served the Old Republic, is considered a true gray Jedi. Some consider Qui-Gon Jinn a gray Jedi due to his disagreements with the High Council.
• Misnomer:
  Some say "gray Jedi" is a misnomer because it describes someone who is practically non-Jedi.

This is the part that's correct

Okay, well it's still a thing whether you agree with it existing or not.

What's "that part" of a particular game that makes you absolutely not want to replay it?

For me? One is Taris in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I really want to play through the game again someday but the prospect of Taris stops me. It's so linear and I've done it several times already on abandoned playthroughs.

I like Taris. What I hate is that giant desolate space ship in the beginning of Kotor 2.

• The teardrop segments in Twilight Princess makes my want to replay a game I already kind of dislike grind to a complete halt whenever I’m reminded of them.
• Undead Settlement in Dark Souls 3 (though the only areas I kinda like in that game are High Wall and the catacombs area)
• The part of Secret of Monkey Island right after you leave Mêlée Island
• The prison in Fable 1
• The prison in Fable 2
• Silph Co.
• Every non-platforming level in Earthworm Jim 2
• Click Clock Wood

There are probably more, but I rarely replay games unless I super love them, so these hurdles are kind of easy to make themselves known for me.

That bos in Megaman 2 that is a bunch of bubble-like turrets you need a weapon to mandatorily hit

Right after the bios finishes....

Then Final Fantasy VII starts...

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous the whole beginning portion in Kenabres. It's functionally a multi-hour tutorial, you don't get any of the actual mythic stuff until you leave and the whole game is based around playing with Mythic progression. I think my fastest time to leave (no glitches, no mods, etc) was 3 hours and I was playing a busted cavalier during that.

 

[Numubunde]

The beginning of Skyrim and Fallout 4. I really like both games but just the thought of having to replay the initial cutscenes and quest is enough to keep me away from a new playthrough lol. Fallout 3's beginning is also a bit of a pain but not so bad, and Fallout New Vegas is perfect of course and there's absolutely no flaw whatsoever :)

Every time I play RE4 I get to the island and think "I'll take a break here". Ends up being a very long break

 

[trickybus]

I stopped playing Undertale midway through a genocide route because the process of proccing random encounters, which gets harder to do the more creatures you kill, was too tedious for me

I also have anger at those bosses for being unfair and on top of the attacks and contact on the Doc Robot who has Wood Man's ability and Quick Man's ability which is 8 pts. of damage and I do get angry at facing bosses this unfair and I even had to use a weapon like Snake Search to defeat it faster (4 pts.

I generally stop there because I’ve kinda had my fill at that point lol
I do that with most Mega Man games. The final stages are a hassle I don’t care for most of the time, so I tend to dip out once I get to them.
