Gamers of reddit, what was the least favorite part of your favorite video game?
- Skyrim,
That opening. It's so bad. For a game that is nothing but breathtaking sights the moment you finish the tutorial, the first 30 minutes somehow managed to find the least attractive parts of Skyrim and start you there. The voice acting is particularly weak at the start. Not the worst in the game, but noticeably bad compared to the main stories. Worse still they're the same voice actors so it was just bad directing of the opening sequence. Maybe they changed it last minute and it was rushed. IDK. They also try to get a ton of fan service knocked out in the opening crawl. Referencing stuff about the elderscrolls world. Which is fine I guess. I just think that confuses/alienates newcomers to the series, and takes away from the joy of stumbling onto those throwbacks for series veterans. Just not the best way to do that. Then they make it pretty clear that the empire is bad, even though that's not necessarily the case and you're in fact supposed to root for the empire later. Also the exposure/explanation of the Aldmeri Dominion is misdirected at best in the opening. There have been a ton of videogame reviews/commentaries that point to these things too.

- I love restarting games, so I usually hate prologues. I play them a hundred times.

- In the MGS games, I really don't like the boss fights. Seems to totally break any sort of immersion. Up to this point, I've been quietly moving around, outsmarting my opponents, and now suddenly I'm fighting some overpowered caricature out in the open. Wish I could skip them.

- Fallout IV: I'd have to say "Another Settlement Needs Your Help" is the WORST part of the game. As a completionist that game is a fucking nightmare in general. You should be able to permanently change locations or "fix" them as you expand throughout the wasteland and they should never reset after you've conquered them.

- In GTA: San Andreas, you might think it's that GODDAMN TRAIN MISSION, but no. It isn't. You just had to stand far enough away from the train so that Big Smoke could actually hit something while he was stuffing his gullet with #45s. Fuck you Big Smoke.
It's that OG Loc mission where you have to follow that one dude on the bike and the person you're driving around has to shoot him. I could not beat that mission as a kid FOR MONTHS. And knowing the shithead I was back then (still one now, but that's beside the point) I had a lot of time on my hands and hadn't discovered masturbation yet, so I definitely had a lot of free time. Fuck that mission.
Honorable mentions:
GTA: Vice City and the RC mission
GTA: San Andreas's RC mission
Anything that had to do with helicopters on PC in GTA IV and V.

- The final fight in Bioshock. He's randomly naked. It's a super uninteresting fight. He just charges and toss some fireballs. There's no interesting mechanics going on anymore. And you have to repeat it!
Plus, all the suspense and intrigue of the world is gone at this point so there's not even a payoff.

- Any and all escort missions. They either walk too fast for your walk or too slow for your run.

- Minecraft: the feeling of defeat after you resolve to make a new world and do all of this cool stuff, promising that you'll stick with it this time, then getting intimidated and deleting the world sometime between 5 minutes to 1 week later. I want to play Minecraft again, but I just can't stick with it.
