What part in any game do you despise going through? which part really annoys you because it may be fustrating or boring?
For me its Collecting the Triforce pieces in The Wind Waker. Oh lord, this was just so incredibly boring that it just pissed me off. I can't believe i had to force myself to play through it. All of the game was great, and then i got to this part and i hated it..
How about you? =D

Um, tutorials/training levels, they are almost always lame and boring no matter what game they are in.

just searching for things....
like when i had to search for the dragonballs in Dragon Ball Z sparking it drove me crazy cause i would have to always blow up a rocks to see if there were any dragonballs under it while fighting an enemy it pissed me off.....and everytime i would find a dragonball in the arena i would be out of time or i would be blown up...i just gave up on the dragonballs....

This is quite an easy one for me. If anyone has played Sonic Adventure 1 and(or) 2, then it's actually self explanatory, if you played with Knuckles(SA1&2), Big(SA1), and Rouge(SA2) to say the least. Those three characters definitely have the most annoying mission requirements ever created in any game that i have ever experienced. I would spend hours, making countless attempts to find the Choas Emerald Shards and(or) fishing for fish just to complete their respective segments. I will never go back through any of that again.

Leveling up in RPGs. In some RGPs, if you have a decent strategy you can bypass most of the leveling and still do fine. But seeing how in most of RGPs, leveling up is the only way to get passed a certain boss it gets really troublesome.

Definetly having to dodge the trainers in Pokemon games whilst trying to get to a gym leader or an objective, only to be seen and get forced to fight a battle for like half an hour.

Agreed to the 10th degree :O
I also hate crawling through doungeons trying to get it done and when you walk every few steps a battle appears. At least make it totally interactive in a fun way, like Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, and Super Mario RPG did.

-Catching legendary pokemon without the master ball.
-Getting an uber powerful technique in rpgs, and having to sit through larges amounts of dialogue to get to use it.
-When someone uses hax in online games.
-When you're playing a MMORPG and someone calls you a n00b just cause you PKed the hell out of them.

Movie sequences/dialogues you can't skip
Random battle encounters when you're not trying to level up
Collecting items XD

-Puzzles that requires assloads of backtracking.
-Confusing puzzles that are impossible to get through without a walkthrough.
-Insanely difficult bosses that requires you to have a large stock of healing items just to survive. Fuckin' Sakon in Onimusha, and a fuck you to Phantom in Devil May Cry.
..and yet, with all this said, it amazes me that I'm still a huge fan of the survivoral horror genre.
- Collecting items
- Saving money in order to buy something you need

most boring/annoying thing....either find chaos emeralds in Sonic Adventure battle 2, or RuneScape fishing, Good lord i wasted so much of my life Fishing those worthless sharks and selling them for 1k each. Wow i regret my past. :cry
-Treasure Hunt
-Endless Puzzles and Mazes
-Teaching How to Play/Fight WHne You Just Smash Buttons Till You Learn
-Confusing Battle Systems
- Bosses That Seem to Never Die
-When you die and your forced to watch all the past movies becasue you didnt save!
-Pop-up Pokemon Battle when your trying to reach a trainer and end up losing because of the random poekmon battle (Losing Most of your health)
-Repetetive Battles
And more.. xD
Also those metriod games confuse the hell out of me and whenever i play i get a heachache >_<!

Well in most sprts games every time u score they have to repeat it v_v.
Its fun the first few times but then it gets old quick.

Some Good points here, i agree with them all, they sure are annoying.
I also hate when you have to train to beat a certain boss. Urghh training on Dragonquest takes hours. Its like 2 hours just for one level, its insane...
That annoys me as well...The Resident Evil games are also annoying when you run out of ammo on an extremely hard boss!

*Sneaking past the other prefects in the Harry Potter games.
*The damn sphere puzzles in FF10. I don't care if they're easy, they can go to hell!
*In the sims when you give the friggin guy everything he can possibly want. A stereo system, a high paying job, a beautiful house, a hot wife, a dog, a big screen tv, pool table, basketball set, delicious cooked food, and great friends. Next thing it's ,"I'm depressed!" WTF?! Why are depressed? You give them something fun to do it's, "I'm too tired. I don't like my expensive ass stereo system anymore." or it's "I don't wanna get in bed with my wife. I hate her." Now I know how god feels.

@RagingNinja Yeah running out of ammo is horrible.. The ammo is so limited in those games. Especially for good weapons like shotgun.
Your limited to the handgun and eventually that runs out with most of the boss's life still there T_T

Quite a few...
-Going though Tron's world in KHII. All that excitement bult up with the army of Heartless and then Donald messes up and sends us in Tron's world to escape...
-Zero's ill fated 'Supply Lines' mission in GTA:SA. Man, I gave up on that for about a year and then came back and beat after two tries heh. Still was annoying though.
-Doing the mini quest in FFX to get Rikku's sigil (or is it the crest) in the Sanubia Desert. That's a lot of running getting those Cactaurs...
-Sphere Break in X-2 was annoying until I figured some advanced moves out.
-I could go on, but one more would be Lt. Surge's gym's traps. The one where you find a switch in a can and then the next one is always besides it. You're always faced with multiple cans being beside the one, so it can be a pest at times.

Excessive random battles. Nothing is more annoying than those. Especially in FFX last dungeon. Ugh.
Also in God of War the spinning blade pillars in Hades realm.
I just played Legend OF Zelda Windwaker (restarted) and what pissed me off is in the beginning when u have to go through a VERY VERY big dungeion fortress >_<

All those little surprises in Resident Evil, that mean you have to go back to the start of the level to get a tiny item, then go back, then get another thing, and simply not having any room in your pack.

As of late IN GAME FMV's seriously i sleep through them now i mean they where cool in the ps1 days but now its getting ridiculous and everyone thinks you need them in a game to have a great game or something. Man do i miss the old days where CG was not around.

Like alot of other people have already said, talking or movies that you just cannot skip through. It's even worse if you have already played the game sereval times and know just what they are going to say. The example that comes to mind is The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of time, you spend like the first half an hour just watching crap you have already seen and you cannot skip it. Same goes for Majora's Mask.
Another annoying thing is games with a leveling system were it is near impossible to reach the max level without spending half you day for 3 weeks to move up a level, example - Diablo II, anything past 90 is alot of hours that pretty much are a waste. It's also way to damn repetitive to do so.

The part where I realize the supposedly original RPG game I was playing sinks back down into "go through the five elemental temples to recieve the ultimate power to defeat Sephikefkabowserdorf".
Yeah. That's pretty annoying.

When the music is too loud or the person speaking in the movies talks too quietly.
Reloading also sucks.

I really don't like do mini games especially in KH2 and some of the FF series or any other games for that matter :oh.God dammit,I hate those mini games and I find it, if too many mini games (I don't mind if there is less mini games,I can handle it) I could get really bored,SO FAST!!!
Then,I don't have any motivation to continue playing or worst I don't want to win the game because of the stupid mini games.That's just me,ok ^_^

Looooong maps to go through in RPGs in order to get to a certain location, especially those which absolutely have NOTHING on them.

Yeah, I'd have to say Sonic Adventure 2 as well.. Knuckles/Rogues missions are so time consuming and hard..
Right now playing Metroid Prime Hunters for DS.. lol, fingers are aching.. it's annoying in that game too for time limits!
I HATE TIME LIMITS!

No, you can't. In Ocarina of Time the text boxes are unskippable, unless it's coming from an unimportant source. I haven't played Majora's Mask, but I am playing OOT on the 64 at the moment, and I can verify that this is true.
It's annoying as HELL.

Whenever there are a lot of boring cut scenes and you can't skip through them. Like Sly Cooper 2, even though you finished the game and replay it you still can't skip the cut scenes. It gets annoying sometimes watching it over and over...
