Stop repeating this meme. That's one of the easier levels in the fucking game. You want the REAL worst part? Post the closing walls section from level 4, or the final hallway in level 6. Both are far more BS than the underwater level every e-celeb bitches about. It wasn't even hard when I was 6.

Here's the worst part of FF9. Forced minigame BS has always sucked ass. The CPR minigame in FF7 was boring as fuck, but this one manages to be even more boring. Why did they put this crap in there?

Ive never come even close to losing at the clinger winger, Volkmire's Inferno is by far the worst part for me. Do people play the CW level with high input lag or something?

>>3410874
And when you think it's over you find out that there are more rounds and more levels

>>3410862
Mission 3 is just boring as fuck
Instead of having a fun underwater segment like alternate mission 1 where you get to use a slug, it's just "Shoot wall with pistol for 5 minutes because there's no fucking weapon drops and then do it again while trying to dodge missiles"
The indoor segment is just standard rebel shit and then a mech that isn't much fun to use, then you have the boss that's the easiest thing in the game and doesn't feel satisfying at all.

Yup. EJ2 was the first game I've owned. It annoyed me to no end. Not that the game was bad; it just had this forced variety of levels which I didn't really want or like.

For example, lvl 1 is just great—there are tons of different cool weapons, abilities, enemies, secrets, whatever. You learn the basic controls, physics, how to use Snott, etc.

But then comes Lorenzen's Soil, and you can only use one weapon in a level with pretty weird physics. OK, you think, maybe they just decided to give the player a slight break. And then you have Puppy Love.

By the time you beat it, you've probably grown hungry for just some more run & gun, if only to try all those fun weapons you had. But no! The devs decided it was time for Jim to turn into a different character and fly through a labyrinth lined with villi—again with different physics a la Balloon Fight (although I admit I kind of started to like it after dozens of plays). And level 5 is even further from all that! It's isometric shmup-like level where you have to bounce a fucking hot air balloon to the end of the stage, and try not to fuck it up with all the shit flying at you. And then, just to solidify the experience, you have ANOTHER Puppy Love.

I admit that the rest of the game has probably my favorite streak of stages—maybe aside from Udderly Abducted and, yeah, Puppy Love—again. But it's fucking ridiculous that exactly half of EJ2 is just some bullshit where you can't even shoot properly. The fucking irony of getting bonus weapons in Villi People which you barely even get a chance to use anywhere is just cruel.

>>3410870

I think you mean the harbor level, friend.

>>3411032
And a little bit to add to it, because I've played the game just a bit too much.

It'd be cool if all those different stages were good on their own. But only Villi People can do so—maybe because the devs did something slightly similar in EJ1. I'd maybe pick up a whole game made like it if I had nothing else to play. But I'd never in a hundred years buy a standalone Puppy Love-style game—the same goes for Lorenzen's Soil and Peter Pain. They are just gimmicky levels which don't work as well as, say, different parts of Wai Wai World 2.

Someone at Capcom in 1993 seriously thought THIS was a good idea? Are you fucking kidding me?
This is by far one of the worst levels/dungeons/chapters i have ever seen in my life. I was loving the game until this point, i hope there are no other places like this because FUCK.

It also has great music, amazing scenery for the time and was fun as shit so even if it is hard for you, it sure as fuck doesn't qualify for this thread.

I can tell you haven't played Croc 2 in a while or at all. Croc 2's platforming was fine and worked contextually as there were a lot of segments that required you to go fast along courses of which having vehicle controls actually greatly benefits it. The only stage that is legitimately unfair is Roger Red Ant.

>Gunstar load out
Gee, I wonder why that boss was the shittiest in the game.

Reminder that you haven't really beat Gunstar Heroes until you have beat it without a homing weapon. It's possible to get to the boss in the mine stage without touching anything but shoot using the homing laser.

Breath of Fire 3, the part where you have to train Beyd to beat Zig, so he can go fix the lighthouse instead. Its such a waste of time and it feels like padding. The insult to injury is that after Beyd beats Zig, you have to go to lighthouse anyway because he's injured. I know from the moment I want into Rhapala that I was going to the lighthouse anyway, the game just decided that it really needed to delay your progression to help this cuck man up.

The very last "battle" in the Sega CD version of The Terminator. It's depressing, such a fun run'n'gun platformer with great music ends on such a lame note. The entire rest of the game is combat on your terms. The final battle involves dropping yourself and the terminator in a certain pattern so you can go grab a rocket launcher without the terminator touching you and killing you. You can't kill the terminator before he reaches a certain point either. The final level was a weak point, but the final puzzle boss is lame as fuck.

>>3416682
No buttmonkey, I played that thing when I was 7 on an NES. I still easily got to the third level. I got stuck on a jump there, and didn't get past that until I revisited the game years later. And I beat that shit without save states. Level 2 is not that hard, unless you have difficulty remembering shit. It was hard to 5yo you, you gave up, you never got past an easy level, that doesn't make it hard. Levels 4-6 are designed to drain your health, and are full of traps and fucked enemy placements, they can be considered difficult. But they aren't the worst part of the game. The closing walls in level 4 can be BS, the final hallway is complete and total BS, level 2 is easy.

I'm going to diverge from what seems to be the popular view here and say I love Grunty Industries and it's my favorite level.

I love the sense of progress from unlocking more and more floors and rooms in the building. The industrial aesthetic I think is pretty neat too, really gives the game's dynamic lighting engine a chance to shine.

>>3420380
God that part fucking blows. You have to die! What kind of shit is that? The first scripted death, i would say. Most players have no idea and what if you are out of lives? Do it all over again.
Thank god games like Megaman and Castlevania understood lives are dumb and short, complex levels are more rewarding when you can keep trying, even if you have to start over.

>>3410593

I'm glad that rare is taking a crack with 3d platformers with yooka laylee.
I had this weird spurt where i played banjo kazooie for sixish hours, or a whole day. Being super thourough to try and get 100 notes all the way to mad monster mansion. I died getting like 60 of them, then understood the frustration of having to collect another 60 all in one life.
I just let that be the note score, and when i went to the second to last level, which the wiki is telling me is rusty bucket bay, i just got bored. I understood that the game was just this for two more levels and ditched it. Might give banjo tooie a try but i don't see it happening.
I do like it as a mario 64 esk type game with way more personality. Also you can collect your jiggies and continue on with the level, instead of leaving it immediately.

But metropolis FUK. Those goddamn puncher crabs can fuck right off. And their mantis friends. And that pit is the worst, i fall in it a lot at that part because i don't quite know which path takes me that way.
I never collected all the chaos emeralds on my own in one sitting except on sonic 1. Just to find out no super sonic. See pic

If its in the games code and it gives it to you often, then that just makes it an easy game. That's like fighting dark link in zelda 2 and not crouching in the corner. Sure you cheesed him, but if you have an advantage and you don't use it you've either become bored and are seeking further challenge or you are just an idiot.

Dang that's pretty good tunes.

That first trip to the future was shit.

>>3416898
It's because these are so easy that i got all the chaos emeralds in sonic 1 and no other game..

Dem pseudo 3D effects though, gat daym. Makes me wonder if the original gta was possible on 16 bit consoles

>>3423071
That's a great question. I'm not familiar with the system tech but I imagine if they'd used a CD properly they could have at least come close. That game really showcases what the aging hardware was capable of. Several bossfights and songs even continue into new variations that many players probably never see if they finish too quickly. And the Mad Hatter is easily one of my favorite 16-bit boss fights. It's a real shame that the player is expected to slog through the shitty shmup section to get there.

>>3423005
I might just suck, but after recently replaying it I found getting a perfect note score in Click Clock Wood the hardest part of the game.

Too many ways to die (falling off the tree doesn't take that much damage but that shit adds up), four fucking variations of the level to search so that if you start over you're bound to forget a few of the locations of the notes, and a few requiring the use of feathers so if you ran out before reaching 100 you have to either kill yourself or search for more.

Everybody brings up Rusty Bucket Bay as the hard part but I must have cleared that in less than half the time by comparison.

>>3416729
Seriously fuck this orb collecting shit from this stage. Raged so hard on this.

Honestly? The worst part is setting up the console again. Even worse, getting stuff to install on original computers.

The final boss on a first playthrough is a close second

>>3422278
It's still the worst part of the game

>>3423834
>final boss

Yeah, you're probably right about the first playthrough but if you just "identify" him or use and spell with a large radius will disrupt his attack, it doesn't matter what it is as long as it lands on him. It pretty much makes him incapable of using Bloody Sin making the boss fight easily winnable

>>3423035
Not the whole trip including but yeah, running through any ruins segment was boring filler.

>>3409953
Mission 3 is overall the most boring part. I'd say it's a tie between Mission 2 Sasquatch Route and Mission 3 Ostrich Slug route. Run in a straight line and shoot at enemies in TWO levels! Ground level and Upper level! Revolutionary!

Rest of the game is GOAT level though. Except for the multi-section Final Mission. It's really fun, but long as fuck and clearly meant to bankrupt your parent's savings one quarter at a time.

>>3409953
just take the shortcut with the sub slugger

>>3420567
Fun Fact: The amount of rings that you need to beat the stage actually increases if you have Tails with you, so yeah, it IS easier with Sonic alone

>>3420648
this. phantoon is horrible in this game.

The autoscrolling sections are BS and suck.
The rising water level is a nightmare, but at least it's optional.
Dracula has three fucking forms to fight through.

But this level here is the most BS. Slowly moving up stairs while getting shot at from both sides and having flying fuckers trying to kill you.

I love this game, but god I hate this level.

>>3417756
This shit right here. There seems to be NO logic if Simba catches the tail or not, it's simply magic. The ostrich run right after that part isn't any better.

>>3425661
The last part in the factory was decent but everything before that point is boring as fuck. Good thing the game really takes off right after that.

the WORST part is thsoe fucking mantis blades home in on you even if you jump to avoid them early. That and those fucking starfish which explode at COMPLETE random(Ive fucking died on this enough times to know you can spin a cog right past them and they wont explode, but sometimes they do).

>>3423656
fucking blisters for days

>>3423656

Did anyone else have the official mario party glove? They gave them out after people complained about blisters and such.

>>3421682
>>absolutely disgusting amount of flicker that also makes shots near impossible to see
>>have to use a weapon perfectly to win
>>if you fuck it up once, you die and have to farm energy before coming back

So much this.

I've had so many no death runs absolutely obliterated by this fucking boss. It's easier to commit suicide repeatedly to get a new continue than to wait for the damn weapon EN to recharge.

It's not even easy to make some of the retarded uses of the items to save having to waste crash bombs on the doors with the shots coming at you from every conceivable direction. To this day, I don't know how in the hell to avoid getting hit.

>>3422257
Wood man requires some well timed sliding, and mashing off those search snakes like there's no tomorrow. The aim is to have him dead before he gets all the way to the left of the screen.

Quick man is utter bullshit, but thankfully gemini laser is his weakness, and you get a lovely slowdown effect when you've fired one off that makes it easier to dodge him. You can also tank a hit from the boomerangs and use the invulnerability frames to scum through him instead of taking that unreasonably high crash damage.

it's like they wanted you to notice how shitty the game's inventory system was

also the snowfly forest

Nevermind.

That's the whole point of the entire franchise, Snake was always a tool.

Plebs will never understand though.

>>3411219
how fucking plebeian are you, Grunty Industries is great

you want a bad level? try cloud cuckooland. now that's crap. or rusty bucket bay. at least grunty industries had a nice sense of progression and fun music/boss

also

bullshit, the witchyworld one is worse and way more useless

>he uses weapons other than the buster outside of sections where those weapons are required

May as well have training wheels on your bike

>>3428067
You can buster only both of those bosses without taking damage, but they're insanely hard.

>>3428781
dude you're fucking crazy

what's not fucking cool about scaling a tower that's basically an interplanetary mothership designed to rescue the species

one of the coolest parts of the game

Dont know how anyone forgot about this but fuck this level.

I can beat it now Im sure but as a kid this was literally impossible.

Ithink he means the part in the beginning with the cable. I couldn't get it. Never did. Just got frustrated and loaded up the GameShark and did the debug menu and started at Sheva before the attack.

>>3428151

That part was an obvious parody of trade quests present in pretty much every RPG or adventure game. Except they did a whole mini-dungeon about it. I replayed the game recently and the whole thing isn't longer than 10 minutes, as all the items you need are there, the tedious part is going back and forth (or getting lost, but it's not a confusing dungeon really).

So, I'm talking about the parts that make you get hit with a fireball just after setting your foot in the room, not giving you a 1/10 of a second to dodge, and it seems to be kind of randomized (it's 50/50, the pillar shoots at 45 degrees or at 135, and one of them is a 99.99% chances of you being hit), stripping you of your health and powerups. Also, if you don't have your power-ups, then it takes a lots of hits to defeat the big armours, and they have some decent attack range, making you move backwards after your attacks or your safety. It's ok, but if it moves you back enough (which will probably happen if you don't have power-ups), the armour respawns after it's defeated, blocking your way again (it cannot be jumped-over).
Still glad that I've bought it, despite the knowledge that Adventure is considered to be the worst Castlevania ever.
