Honorable mention for Demolition Man in Vice City. The RC Copter controls suck, you're being shot at by construction workers the entire time while being extremely fragile, and you have a time limit to top it all off. To this day it fills me with dread just thinking about it
I was hoping that mission was on the list
I honestly found that one to be relatively easy but then again I played a lot of airplane and helicopter games at that time which helped me out with having better control.
@@chaseviking5096 that’s probably why. I remember 10 year old me. Couldn’t figure it out. That mission is the reason why I never finished the game
Hahahaha man that mission kept me up many nights Hahahaha thats an awful mission
@@ahorts37 I wouldn't doubt it. A couple of my friends who played the air plane and helicopter games didn't have really any problems either. Where my uncle and my step brother who didn't play those type had a hard time with it. The RC airplane mission is San Andreas however was a pain for me. That time limit aka the fuel consumption was ridiculous.
The Souls-like parking garage tutorial mission from the original Driver was particularly hateful. Not only was it required to even get to the open world, but it demanded precision far beyond what you would need to play and enjoy the game. I remember thinking when I was failing it over and over, “do they even want me to play this game?”
I think it was the reverse 180 that never scratched out too. Worst by far.
Still haven't beaten that mission. Need to do that one.
I could never pass that. One of my friends came over one day and spent almost the entire day doing that mission until he finally passed it and after that I got back into playing it since I could do the actual missions after that Driving Test.
@@rouvencocker that's were I always got stuck. I would do the reverse 180 but could never keep it in the zone they wanted me to keep it in. They didn't give really any room of error. Either you did it perfectly or it didn't count.
As a 6 or 7 year old kid at the time of that game's release, who didn't fully understand how driving a real car worked at the time, playing that made me think all drivers had to go through some crazy extensive practice just to drive a car. Oh, what a young fool I was. Still, I love and HHHHAAATTTTEEEE that tutorial. I'm pretty sure I passed that part by pure luck and frustration. No skill got me out of that garage as far as I believe
My biggest pet peeve in video games is and always will be ... timed missions. They are pointless in my opinion. This is like jump scares in horror films. They are only added because the creators couldn't figure out a way to raise the stakes naturally through creativity.
Red Dead Online is very guilty of this
@@DG-jd4zz tbf the times are easy to stay within on rdo but the fact that the longer you take the more money you get is annoying
Well, I mean sometimes it can be quite funny. It only sucks, when there are too many of them.
Yeah timed missoins are always nasty n omatter what game they're in.
@@DG-jd4zz I have never played RDR2 multiplayer. I was thinking about trying it. But your comment discouraged that. I hate any kind of timed mission.
The race in Mafia actually went through an update (even back then, when pushing updates was hard, because internet connection was expensive and slow - I think it was distributed in game magazines). The update for the original game added a difficulty setting for the race, but also patched a glitch that allowed basically skipping the whole race. Needless to say, the race was pretty hard and tedious even on easy after the update. Dan Vávra (director) actually said that no one had any problem with the race in the game studio, they all played it so much during testing that they thought it was not at all hard.
what i especially hated about the AC tailing missions was that they were eavesdropping missions at the same time. so you have to keep close to them to eavesdrop but not too close to get detected, but also not get too far away or else the entire mission fails and you start from the beginning. add that ontop of the janky parkour the earlier games had and its just hell.
Didn't AC3 get enough hate already? No. Didn't like those t(r)ail missions, didn't even finish the game.
Ac 3 somehow managed to be the worst ac game ever the parkour is at times even worse then 2 somehow and the stealth was impossible with the 300 guards
Thing that annoyed me was the mission where if you want 100% you have to tackle a guy from running up a turned over cart and jumping onto him after eavesdropping or something like that. And it won't give you a 100% if you don't. But it's nearly impossible to do this move of tackling him from above with the parkour mechanics. Frustrated me so bad after doing it all day and not getting it to do what I wanted. I literally could do every other mission except that one for 100% completion
The Sam FIsher mission in Ghost Recon Wildlands was terrible! An instant fail stealth mission that takes place at night and has a ton of guards is awful!
I did that one with a couple buddies, and we're all pretty good at being sneaky. That mission took us hours.
Me and a friend of mine actually found a sweet route to follow every time, but after a couple of deaths we eventually started parachuting to the roof of the building where Sam is in lol
Oh god fuck that mission.
Oh God I blocked it from my mind. I parachuted down onto a rooftop over and over and over and over and over and eventually gave up lol
the stealth part was pretty easy. the combat part afterwards is the hard one, especially in extreme difficulty.
The wing-suits stunts missions in Far Cry 5 is an insane nightmare too. There is one mission where you have to jump down from a cliff into the valley. But the controlling is just horrible and one wrong move entirely srewed the mission. It takes countless times and swear words to get this done.
one of te optional things in far cry 6 has from what you describe a similar problem
They were a piece of piss what are you talking about? 🤣
i didn’t even get to that point (Jacob’s region?) because the experience became too cancerous. As a general tip for developers if a mission could cause a large minority or majority to rage for an entire hour either make it easier on retry or, better yet, cut it.
Thank you
they are the best things in all of gaming and i hope we get more someday along with clutch nixon the greatest stuntman to ever walk the universe
I was really surprised the stones of barenziah quest in Skyrim didn't get put in. Each of the stones weighs 1 pound in your inventory and you can't get rid of them. Plus there's so many of them spread in the most obscure places that I don't know how anyone collects them all without a walkthrough.
22 of them, aren't there?
Use a house. Store them done.
Tbf that's just one quest, can be completely ignored. The video was more about in general types of missions.
@@raypalmer5125 if you pick the stone up without realizing it, it is there until the quest is finished. You can't ignore it unless you know what the gems are and avoid them.
@@raypalmer5125 did you watch the video because it was about specific missions from specific games, several of which were optional
Supply Lines in San Andreas was extremely difficult, until I realized that all you have to do to make it really easy, is to keep the plane on the ground. It's a lot easier to ride it and to aim when you shoot.
Mind blown
But on the old ps2 version too?
@@uluomu Doesn't matter where you play it, as long as you stay on the ground.
@@BerishaFatian that‘s good to know, I thought there was a timer
Yeah, just land in front of the trucks and destroy them. Such an easy mission but my 12 year old brain could not figured it out.
To be honest, I did find days gones stealth missions pretty easy, even on the highest difficulty
I was going to say the same, but I remembered that this is game journalism and they are fucking trash at playing games
In my opinion, the worst mission in the entire game is the one that requires you to use a tranq qun on a newt and if it spots you, you have to start over. It's not very difficult - i only ever failed once - but the whole mission felt completely out of nowhere and unnecessary.
@@DrHouse146 I have 100%'d that game and encountered no such mission. There is a tranq the newt mission, but you don't restart if it sees you or anything like that. They must have patched it or your memory might be a bit fuzzy.
@@47ravenlord Then they patched it because i played the game when it first came out. The newt saw me, run away and i had to reload the checkpoint.
Yeah, I LOVED those missions too, they are so visually gorgeous and they give some insight into the zombie virus, they are easily my favourite
Dude yes, Jak 2 and 3 were insanely hard at times. Almost to a shocking degree, I still have nightmares about the drilling platform turret mission, the first Baron fight and some of those platforming sections in the Temple from Jak 3.
still a goated game
@@mattyc6677 Can't be said enough
Even though some missions are pretty hard jak 2 is easily my favourite of the original trilogy as the story is so good and just cruising around on the jetboard is so fun
@@therunawaykid6523 Agreed.
Those damn metalhead eggs are giving me nightmares right now. I never beat the game when I was eight years old and it took me 10 more years to beat it because that’s when the remastered came out
I’m replaying days gone for my Halloween tradition which is to start playing a horror game in the fall and finish before Halloween, and so far the Nero missions aren’t as bad as I remember or this video describes them to be. They’re pretty easy and the conversations the Nero soldiers and scientists have are pretty interesting to hear
Fr bro, I was always curious to hear more about the freakers
Totally agree, the developers actually cared about the lore and the fictional virus they created. Definitely didn't mind finding out more about the virus :)
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
Most underrated game, bro
I'll admit that I cheated to pass those missions. Can't stand forced stealth.
Those nero missions i didn't think were too bad, there was very few, like it didn't feel like I was doing them all the time, and I thought they were very easy but days gone was super good they need to do a 2nd
I didn't mind the Nero mission, found em interesting..ace game, and your bang on - they oughta make a Days Done (Days Gone2) game.
Yeah I didn’t hate them either they’re nothing special but I didn’t pull my hair out on them I think the tailing missions were the bane of my existence
Same. They made them sound way worse than they really are. The routes you’re supposed to take are super obvious.
I kinda liked the nero missions. It was cool listening in and hearing about the hordes. I didn't think I was gonna like the game during the first half, but the second half had me hooked! It's the only game I've ever completed 100%. They need to make a Days Gone 2!
@@alwayssunnyinbayside well said, me too loved it that much I just had 100%/platinum trophy it..(also rdr2 after)...I totally agree with your comment, if there's one game that truly deserves a sequel it's good old Deacon StJohn & "Days Gone" - I like the name "Days Done", for a sequel. You right with the amount/frequency of the little Nero quests, for me there was just the right amount to not be too much but to also tie-in neatly with the level of depth to game's plot..Brilliant game, just thinking about it brings back great memories..was a BIG game too I thought, value for money if ever there was with the gaming hours you had to put in to fully 100% this game. Epic, almost as good as RDR2.
P.S - I especially liked it (spoiler) where he towards the end of the game when he knew how frustrated his brother was having just the one arm so he got him the puppy dog!
I love The Simpsons Hit and Run, but the last 2 missions felt impossible sometimes
Screw every mission in that last zone for real
That's what I was gonna say. Those UFO missions were brutal. Impossible to get there on time and not trigger the cops. While also driving buttery vehicles that like to explode.
I was not expecting to see Nero for days gone. I personally enjoyed those missions because it gives you lore while relaxing. It’s not as difficult as you guys made it seem. A middle schooler can figure out the path.
It being easy doesn't stop it from it being boring lul
I agree, they are good lore
Getting away from the police in Jak2 when you’re in the docks area could be one of the most annoying missions ever.
Yeah I agree the way I beat it was punching my way to goal taking out any people or guards in the way worked surprisingly good as this way you are too fast for the lasers
You totally forgot the first Driver game. To even get into the game you had to pass a driver test inside a parking basement and many people simply gave up the game, because the time limit and the difficulty was to hard.
tbf they already mentioned this mission in like 10 videos so far.^^
@@maximilian2843 It’s still the worst mission in the history of open world games. Enough said.
@@abellewis3062 Conversely, one could say that it is one of the best as it filters out anyone who can not handle the higher challenge missions right at the start rather than wasting everyone time by hitting them with an insurmountable barrier later on. There was time to take the game back to the store or to look for some place to sell it will it is still in pristine condition after playing a single mission.
@@maximilian2843 I wouldn't be surprised. Sometimes videos on this channel end up having close to the same content of previous videos they've already made
@@EatWave i didnt play much of the game, really only passed the garage mission and like 30 minutes after that because it wasnt my copy, but what i have seen from gameplay and what other say, the garage mission is infinitely harder than anything you do in the rest of the game
so claiming its to filter players out is odd, let alone how utterly stupid the premise is
RPGs really need a skip mission button! some are just not worth the drag after you’ve completed it a few times. like the yuriko main story mission in ghost of tsushima! i love her character and the story, but it drags so much when you’ve already done it.
It would be realy nice if the future Witcher 3 Remaster has a few more skip options. I don't need to lure goats and hunt down drawrfs to relive my first playthrough lol.
Or how about you just don't play it again if that's much of an issue. Just suck it up and play the damn mission or don't accept it in the first place. Skipping is just laziness
@@ryanm2821 Uh... you can't relive your first playthrough unless you get amnesia or something. Sorry.
@@FortunatoGeovani I wasn't being literal but hopefully you know that.
@@TKOfromJohn its not that deep mate! some of us just have fav missions we enjoy replaying the most.
I'm surprised when you mentioned "Simpsons: Hit and Run" you didn't mention the literal last mission with the nuclear rocket car. You have to race across the entire map from one side to the other with a strict time limit. So strict, if you hit one thing, you might as well start over. It was even harder coming back than going to the first half somehow.
Dude, for real lol
THIS!!
Bruh. I remember that one lol. Took forever to get it right
I remember I played through the entire game in like 2-3 days up to that mission, to this day I still haven't beat it lmao
There’s a great call-back to the balloon mission in the ps4/5 Spider-Man game. In ambient conversation you can occasionally hear someone deriding Spider-Man by saying something like “he didn’t even help that kid get his balloon” (I can’t recall the exact wording, as it’s been a few months since I played it and heard it)
Yo thank you so much for adding in chapters for each number. It's so useful for list videos and makes it easier to be able to skip past a game I have no interest in without missing any other stuff. Thanks a bunch gameranx.
I thought the stealth in days gone was actually quite fine, if it’s too difficult for you it just lets you skip it entirely.
I never really had a problem with it either. Especially in the Nero missions, I mean I didn't find those ones in particular to be super exciting but I thought the map design made it pretty clear where you were supposed to go.
Probably the only open-world game I could actually play stealthily and not get caught after 30 seconds. I don't get what these kids talking about either.
I hated it. So annoying
it's because his not good in this kind of games hahaha
@@jhuncasupanan3012 games journalist... he isn't good in any video game
This took me back Jak 2, spider-man 2, hit - n - run, and GTA San Andreas are all games I used to play so much of when I was a kid. Played the hell out of those games. This list is legit and I can feel the frustrations again. I love it.
Thanks
That mafia mission was actually really easy 🤷 It’s basically just knowing how to control the throttle. The hardest mission was playing the hardest difficulty in mafia 2, getting the fuel stamps and having no minimap to gauge the location of guards - essentially relying entirely off in-game sound.
I agree with that. I completed the whole racetrack thing first try on hard. I was so hyped cos everyone said it was so hard
On classic with a keyboard it is agony
@@huntermacdonald6431 I think most people who hate that mission from back in the day on the original mafia, playing it on ps2. You didn't have much throttle control, nor did we kids have much experience with driving sims. that mission sucked
The console versions and remakes were made much easier. I remember having PTSD over the PC original; you had to drive a perfect race and pray!
@@theflyingchicken0901 It's not really. It takes a couple of tries to get the hang of it. It only really became notorious later on when every other game got super easy.
What about all the missions where you have to find a certain amount of various/multiple objects? Like 3 red flowers, 15 dog intestines and 40 gold tires!...and to make it worse, most of the time those objects are somehow rare af!
Exactly! Like.... 30 Crimson Nirnroot.........
That GTA 3 mission actually played with player's intelligence I think.. the timer starts after you hit the first vending thing, so the easy way to do the mission is find then first.. then you go and destroy then.
5:32 “Missions in Open World games don’t get much worse than this.”
*Proceeds to rank 6 worse missions*
I first played The mafia driving mission on the new remake version and I had heard it was notorious for being extremely hard so I was a bit nervous to try it. But Half way through the race the NPC cars crashed into a huge pile up and I ended up winning it without issue first try, I couldn’t believe it 😂
Nice 😂👍🏽
the original is notorious. The remake made the driving a billion times easier.
I feel like days gone stealth section is incredibly easy though just move from bush to bush and roll a lot lol
Same, got it first try without really trying so was surprised to see it on this list
@@talion7268 More boring tba than hard. Running theme for that game, I suppose.
@@ICantSplel can't relate, I really enjoyed all of it, is it slow? Yes, but in some ways that's what made the pacing so on point.
I played it on hard 2 and stealth missions weren't too difficult. Unless you play it on the hardest difficulty.
@@ICantSplel it has a slow start I agree but same goes for RDR 2 it had a very slow start but it becomes very good the more you play
I actually really struggled with the toy plane mission in gta San Andreas. I gave up and played the main game until I reached the point where you learn how to fly an airplane. I went back to the toy plane mission and beat it on my first try.
You can also just land the toy plane and shoot from the ground which is way easier
That mission and Wrong Side of The Tracks gave me PTSD.
I just skipped it. The game doesn't really require you to do it.
The Mafia had a shortcut (glitch), but the remastered edition has even removed that and has made no attempt to ease the ordeal. Very surprised as there was a lot of backlash at the time.
Hangar 13 has no idea how to make a Mafia game. they really make so many terrible decisions in development. Between this race that should've never been remastered at all, the hour long Mafia 2 prison sequence and how it won't save the game until you complete your mission so car customization is pointless.
The Mafia 3 where you're a glorified errand boy being called the N word by everyone, at least Lincoln Clay punches those guys in the face.
Maybe one day Hangar 13 will learn how to make an actual Mobster game. They've been in the shadow of the Godfather games since they came around.
@@nousername2942 strongly disagree, part 3 was pretty good and the remake improved a lot on some parts in the original(especially storywise). they do know how to make an actual mobster game.
@@jacksonteller3973 Mafia 3 had an amazing story, they all do, but 3 was definitely the one i played most by far, shame it was broken up by those repeated side activities, some of them were really rough and just all over the place in difficulty. It looked like they didn't have enough time to finish everything they wanted to do.
Mafia's biggest problem for me was always the gameplay. Everything else was good but that was always off.
If you never played the Godfather game you should check it out and see what I mean.
The sad thing of Force stealth is that you could easily beat every guard.
There is a stealth mission in one of the Jedi Knight games, which is totally ridiculous, because by that point you are essentially a God who could easily mow through hundreds of troopers without breaking a sweat.
I used to love these missions when I had days to be able to get through them. Now that I'm older I really don't have that much time so it's infinitely more irritating.
This is a good argument for difficulty options.
I love that more and more games have things like "story" mode, where it's obvious that this isn't hard, but you just want to know wtf is going on.
They could have modes like "kid", "dad", "grandpa", and they just get progressively easier ^.^
@@Nerobyrne a dyslexia mode would be great too. My gf is dyslexic and yellow on black helps her read. Accessibility is the future.
The entire game of jak 2 was frustrating all over on all levels...the most annoying mission to me was when you were running through the neighborhood thats over water (forgot the thing about it, its been so long), what's annoyingly difficult about it is you got a ton of guards running at you, well why don't you swim through this under all the enemies? Well this mission...you can't do that...you get on the water either to swim or ride your hover board, you instantly get shot down and die...and have to restart the mission.....
I never could beat Jak 2. Or any of the Jak games. They was too hard for me.
@@abellewis3062 i played the entire series, and beat them all at least once, and jak 2 was the most annoyingly frustrating one...since it released and as much as I've played it, only finished it once in my life, all the other finished multiple times, to me, on difficulty rating, easy: jak 3, medium: jak and daxter precursor legacy, hard: jak 2
@@legendarycat2457 Nice!
@@legendarycat2457 Good job!
@@legendarycat2457 Good job!
you just triggered my PTSD again.
A few of those missions, especially the mafia one , were so brutal. I am so thankful that they adjusted car physics in the remake, so i got it second try. However it didnt feel as earned as in the original, where i even had to do this mission for a few friends :D
My least favorite type of mission is when they suddenly take away the tools you've been using and give you a goal/fight/mission that is extra hard even if you had those tools. All the skills you've been building are now useless; begin the flailing.
I had a horde pass by during one of the nero missions and they swarmed the guard to no response, he just stood there and ignored them.
The game's ending might explain this.
I loved Days Gone. Definitely an under-appreciated gem!
I personally liked the Nero missions. It’s a nice change of pace where you get to just listen to the backstory of what’s happening and why.
Definitely not a gem. Very mediocre game.
Actually not that under-appreciated.
It has a pretty big fan base, sold pretty darn well and there was a huge outcry when Sony wouldn't greenlight part 2 :(
Certainly a gem in my eyes too.
A very mid game
agreed 100%
I loved this game as well!!!
The very last mission of Simpsons Hit and Run was always the mission that had me in tears of frustration as a child. Everything else felt easy or nicely challenging but that final mission nearly broke me.
I would give the very first Driver game and honourable mention. I played that game for about a week in total because I never EVER managed to pass the car park tutorial. What were they thinking?!
I always wondered why I never bought that game as a kid and after hearing about those last missions i'm glad I didn't, as a kid those would've broken me.
Dude, the race in Mafia made me flat out uninstall and refund the remaster. THANK YOU for putting that at the top and including AC3 tailing. Horrible horrible horrible mission.
I didn't find the race that hard.
If you thought the race was difficult in the remaster, you should have tried playing the original on PC.
Absolutely no comparison.....the original was the first time I ever rage quit......did eventually make it through though.
Those No more heroes side jobs sound more interesting to me than - the generic car chase, clear an enemy base etc, that you mentioned. Think I'm just jaded of open world tropes at this stage.
The worse type of missions are the repetitive ones 🔁
Ubisoft be loke "Shhh stay silent maybe they'll let us slide"
Literally ubisoft template, let's repeat the exact same mission but in a different location. Other open world games like Spider-Man PS4 also do this
That's the thing about Hell.
Repetition is a big part of it.
@@Igor19485 Most Sony games feel repetitive to me. The stories are great, but the gameplay isnt.
Sony and Ubisoft just moved towards exit quitely 😁
As for mafia fair play mission in original version of the game i remember that i struggled a lot on it, but one day i found out that releasing the gas pedal when making sharp turns made this mission a cakewalk
Oh so pretty much common sense then? Break before taking a turn? Man whenever this missions comes up in vids like this its so annoying because its not even difficult. Just slow down before the turn. Thats it. Also Mafia is not really an open world game anyway so why is it even here...
@@cykacircus903 it's kinda an open world game even though it really forces you yo do what you suppose to, about that mission you dont even need to brake, like i said release a gas pedal and make a smooth turn. Funny thig is i got advice from my incle back in a day who never played video games in his life
Just Cause 3 had an especially hard series of (optional) driving challenges. The driving was enjoyable in a sandbox sense, but was not fine-tuned or responsive at all. I recall a specific challenge that could only be beaten if you knew the one specific route to take and executed it perfectly.
reminds me of a video where someone was doing a "100% speedrun", and he said the very worst was one in an ICE area, which made the driving MUCH WORSE!
This comment finally made me realize I'm not failing those challenges because of my bad driving
One of worst levels I ever played was in Saints Row 3 when you are chasing after a clone of a buddy of yours. The first 2 sections of the level went smooth but when you get in the car on the passenger side and start using the RPG you are at the mercy of very poor AI driving which made the potential of a fun level turn into an atrocious overall experience in this level.
Christ, that mission feels *endless* on Hard
The flashbacks holy

Getting caught by NERO? That's news to me...
It was pretty easy for me!!
Yup same.
It wasn't fun missions, but with a pinch of patience & timing it wasn't difficult.
Same lol
I actually like the driving/race missions in the OG Mafia. Probably bc I was so strict with driving... cleanly? Without bumps on anything like cars or any other objects. It's only took me less than 5 tries each to finished the both mission.
Lots of people have a hard time understanding that you have to slow down for corners.
Yep! Some of those old Assassin's Creed games that everyone loved so much for some reason had those tailing missions. Every time I started one of them I kind of had this awful feeling equal parts sad and disappointed. I hated AC3, trying to climb all those damn trees.
We all hated ac3 is fine
Actually I like assassins creed 3. I mean it’s not my favorite by any means BLACK FLAG FTW. I enjoyed the game itself but yea that one mission in ac3 did piss me off but overall I liked the game.
No one liked AC3. The first game was good (not great, but good). The second game was fantastic. Brotherhood was ok, but it had issues. Revelations felt like a demo, and then AC3 came out mostly broken.
I stopped playing AC games after the third one. The series was just going downhill.
@@wandererreece9540 the good ac games died with Desmond
@@travishunstable5283 ac3 is the assassin's game when you enjoy more be a templar lol. I hated Connor, i actually forced me to play the game just to see the precursor story
Great video. 2 missions that really get me mad are no stone left unturned in Skyrim and the one where you are running away from the tank in Jak 2.
The AC3 tailing mission is not so bad, I never fail on it. The RC plane on San Andreas however, I struggle completing it in PS2. For unknown reason, the fuel is more friendly in PC version.
Maybe it’s just me but I remember having a lot of trouble with the license tests in the first Gran Turismo, especially the one where you had to come to a full stop in a designated spot, in a certain time limit
Thanks a million for including the game of my childhood… Jak 2!! I never see those games on these lists. You’re spot on regarding the difficulty of that part and the game as a whole. I also recall the part where you have to walk as a blast bot to the other side of the city in one piece being quite hard
Love the jak series. Don’t see it talked about enough
@@jacobharris2792 yeah still love it to this day especially the second game, really hope we get a sequel at some point
Supply Lines was never really all that difficult for me because I figured out that you can hit them easier when you were on the ground. What really made me quit GTA:SA was the flying school missions for Mike Toreno. When I finally passed them in the remastered version, NoE was just a cakewalk in comparison.
Another game I almost quit was the first GoW's climb out of hades, specifically the revolving pillars that had blades on 'em. I was just done after 15 straight tries back then. Thankfully, I managed to squeak past it, and my investment into Kratos continues.
Wait how else would you shoot them in Supply Lines?
@@leonpaelinckwhile still flying.
I always see people complaining about those damn spiked pillars, and I just never had any trouble with em. I played the original and the remastered versions and it just didn't give me the same grief it clearly gave everyone else.
@@Dizz2K7 diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess.
Planet probing aspect of 'Mass Effect 2' was a tedious grind just to get materials for upgrades of the Normandy, its crew & your squad mates in preparation for the Suicide Mission.
The Skyrim quest "Blood on the Ice" in Windhelm would be a good candidate for a list like this - not because it's bad, but because of how buggy it is. There are so many ways for this quest to get stuck in an incompletable state, and you can accidentally trigger some of these bugs long before attempting do the quest and realizing it's bugged (which potentially makes reloading a previous save not an option). To make matters worse, one of the bigger/nicer player houses in the game is tied to this quest, meaning if it glitches out, you might never be able to get that house. On PC, most of these issues can be prevented with the unofficial patch or resolved with console commands, but console players pretty much need to look this one up on a wiki and carefully follow a guide in order to avoid messing things up.
The quest itself is decently fun/interesting, but trying to avoid all the bugs makes it feel a lot more tedious than it needs to be even if you manage to do everything right.
Dude the race in mafia took me at least ten tries to finish. I don’t remember the last time I was so frustrated with a game that wasn’t a difficult boss or something like that. They definitely should have just included an option to skip that mission altogether even if it was only after failing a certain number of times.
Hands down my favourite misssion. Even restarted the game to play it again
Lol it took me one try to finish it idk how you guys find that mafia mission so hard
@@CarlosTii1 Exactly I just replayed it and got 1st place within the first 30 seconds and just held that place until the end it’s really easy now
@@CarlosTii1 Are talking about the Remake? Cause there it was so much easier
@@Seismo2077 yes im talking about the remake. But he also said in the video that the remake was also a bit hard but I didn’t think it was. It was probably one of my favorite missions in the game. Idk its just my opinion
I just knew Supply Lines would be on this list. I have PTSD from that mission.
I found Free Fall even worse personally because of how long it takes.
Me too. I hated that one, but I always had to finish it no matter how long it took, because I loved the next mission so much! (The one with the actual war game simulation.)
The one that gave me PTSD from San Andreas and that I never see ANYONE mention is the pilot school, the part where you have to shoot three cars with an helicopter. I played on PC and the helicopter controls are HORRIBLE, I mean, H O R R I B L E, and the time limit is speedrun grade. I remember I got so frustrated I would start crying with rage after grinding it for hours a day and I was about 9 year old at the time. Oh man, bad memories.
@@asddw4998 your parents let you play that game when you were 9? LOL damn.
@@jacksonteller3973 Yes, but I was too young to understand 70% of the stuff that was happening, and to complicate further I am not a native English speaker so some things seriously made no sense to me. My brother had to help me pass the missions since he understood a little more of English. XD
Even though his hazmat suit is bullet proof, when Deacon points his gun at O’Brian he shits his pants
Bro I got flashbacks so hard when the Spiderman 2 mission "my baloon", oh my God nostalgia
😅
There are so many harder missions in Jak 2. The tank mission is a good candidate, but honestly the one where you're backed into the edge of the water slums and you have to walk your way back while bombarded by guards holds a special place of rage in my heart... until you realize you can cheese it by dark bombing the water and destroying the drone and then you can jetboard to the end of the mission. Also the racing missions!
Especially the one against The Baron's Lieutenant (whose name escapes me).
@@Heavenlyhounds96 oh yeah the race against Errol? That was bullshit. I replay the whole Jak & Daxter series every few years and that race is definitely a mission that I'm always dreading in Jak 2.
Yeah hate that mission to this day I remember I finally beat it by just punching my way to the goal taking out any people in my way - it worked really effectively as the laser ships couldn’t keep up with you 😏
I have no idea how you guys missed the mission “return to your roots” From Skyrim, where you had to collect 30 Crimson nirnroot. That was the absolute worst, second only to collecting the book pages in the soul Carin
The gems of barenziah
Well, these type of quests you're just supposed to do them additionally to your other objectives.
thats not even hard lol, takes like 15 minutes of walking around blackreach to find them
The “return to your roots” is piss easy, the book pages got pretty annoying tho.
At least the 30 crimson nirnroots were in an enclosed area, in oblivion you had to find over 100 nirnroots in the entire world. Or those gawddamn gems of baranziah. The crimson nirnroots are tedious, not awful.
The Shenmue 2 book airing isn't that bad, actually it fits in well with the rest of the game. It's basically about mastering a tedious task in the vein of karate kid paint a fence, but also to get into the mindset of a kung fu master.
Exactly this. It's similar to the karate kid's "wax on, wax off" lesson.
Also whilst it doesn't pay, you do get free accomodation.
That wasn't the point.
Exotic quest from RDR2. Rare spawn rate for some animals, certain flowers with only 1-2 spawn points (that don't respawn once you start the quest or whtv), and you need a lot of everything.
Any game that makes you check off a bunch of items and doesnt retroactively count them (again, RDR2's herbalist challenge)
I am replaying Black Flag right now and the trailing missions are insufferable. It sucks all the fun out of the game.
Same for me. I left some games unfinished because this type of missions, black flag is among them.
@@beegxxc9832 Black flag is definitely one I think you should try to push through. The ship the ship battles are worth it alone.
@@imafraidicantdothat.9203 you're right I know I should, played a few battles on my friend's PC with mid game save - game is great. The problem is I didn't have much time to play back then and having little time these trailing or forced stealth missions are the worst shit possible. If you don't have much time to play you wanna get to the "meat" fast.
I’m here for my grain of salt 🧂

Can I have some salt?
@@SirSoup no salt for you!
@@YT-CesarB well then no soup for you
@@SirSoup come on man don’t stop a man from getting his soup here have some 🧂(salt) and for the other guy some 🍲(soup). Enjoy!!!
The Jak and daxter 3 dino race, felt like you had to learn every single corner and the dinosaur was very floaty.
Watching that Mafia mission brought back nightmares, I spent days trying to figure out how to do it, I even asked my friend how they did it.
You picked the wrong RC mission. The one with the RC Helicopter in Vice City ( Demolition Man was the mission if I remember) was way harder...no idea why they made the controls so bad when flying the real thing in those games are so easy...
Disagree, I found Demolition Man easy compared to Supply Lines.
Collecting all the shards in Dragon Age Inquisition is absolutely soul sucking and endless
I actually really like the jobs you do in NMH. I get bored of doing the same thing in video games real quick so having these mini games is really cool to me. I don't like how in NMH2 they went from being in-game mini games to 8 bit mini games, felt kinda lazy.
i thought so too, they were fun, except for the scorpion collecting mission though
The "My Balloon" from Spiderman 2 really brought back some interesting memories for me
That Simpsons hit and run mission brought me back to a really dark time in my childhood 😐. That’s a cruel joke to put in a child’s video game 😂 me and my friends took turns for hours, weekends on end and still couldn’t beat it lol
The final mission is worse
@@Don_Dilla omg yes the final mission will have you rage so much
Me to it’s when I had to quit playing
@@devbyrd6127 pretty sure it got a ps2 controller broken before can't remember
I knew what #1 was going to be before I even opened the video. No matter how bad you are imagining the Mafia racing mission to be, the reality is so much worse. Absolutely the most painful gaming experience of my life.
I just managed to get through it on Definitive Edition, and I was shaking so badly on that last lap that I was afraid I was going to whiff it. One wrong turn, one bad collision and you have to start over... Grrr
It's pretty easy actually if you release acceleration in every turn.
Press nothing but the steering.
Nothing else, smooth like silk every time.
IMO the race mission is not as hard as most people put it if you use a controller instead of a keyboard, and you have some "common sense" when it comes to driving. Yeah, the car has bad handling and the AI cheats on the last lap with a scripted sequence if you're not already in first place by then, but if you just release the gas and accelerate softly when exiting corners, the car handles good enough to not spin like it's shown in the video.
I think, you're wrong about the Shenmue 2 one. It is frustrating, yes, but that's how the main character is feeling too at that point in the story when he does this. It wasn't even that difficult, just hold the run trigger and press the dirrection buttons that appear on screen. Also, you're wrong about that the temple doesn't pay you for doing that. If you do it fast enough, each day Hanhui will give you a scroll move that you would have to buy from the store otherwise.
Thieves guild side missions (not the TG questline) to become the guild master in Skyrim, repetitive fetch quests in random cities and you had to complete 5 in each major POI to unlock an actual half decent mission to lvl the guild up. It would have been more bearable if you could choose where to go but you were basically at the mercy of an rng to get this done. Only plus side was you usually finished it with a heap of gold
I had genuinely forgotten the horrible balloon mission in Spiderman 2, it all just came screaming back to me
That hit n run mission was hideous too but I had the most issue with the last mission, kept blowing up the nuke with Grampa, or missing the timer ( I forget which, it was a long time ago)
Thieves Guild missions in Oblivion were super awful... way worse than Skyrim ones even
I never played GTA 3, but Espresso to Go sounds like a perfect example of "We're not entirely sure what to do with this whole open world thing." There were a lot of awkward growing pains in early 2000's games.
yeah putting them all on the map would've made way more sense.
@@jacksonteller3973 Did you look for all of the stalls before hitting one stall? If you do that, then you can map out a route to drive through and destroy all of the stalls with time to spare.
@@jp73987 eventually I did that, still an annoying mission though.
@@jacksonteller3973 Yeah, that's true
I loved that hunt metal heads mission in Jak 2. I hated the tank mission where you saw it from the perspective of the gunner shooting at you. That mission was hell until I realized using the roll jump was the way to get through.
The racing part in Mafia broke my spirit. I loved the game besides that. But that mission made me stop playing until definitive edition made possible for me to get past that part.
Even with the roll jump it was a pain in the ass
That wasn't the most annoying mission is the game either. There was one where you jumped into a gun and had to shoot like 40 enemies that game after you. That one was brutal. There were a few times I stopped playing Jak 2 because of how hard some missions were to come back to the game 2 years later
Hijack eco vehicle in Jak 3. That used to drive me crazy until I got good. I would straight up curse and yell at my tv because the stupid vehicle kept blowing up. My parents would be in the kitchen and hear me rage like there was no tomorrow. I love the Jak games but that mission used to grind my gears until I finally got the strategy down.
I always found Espresso2Go and Supply Lines easy. However, the mission that always gets overlooked in these lists is "Gripped" from GTAIII.
I had to use a Gamefaqs map to do the first one, otherwise there was no way in hell I ever would've beaten it. I despised "Unfriendly Competition" in Vice City stories, like I don't know how it's humanly possible to survive that massive gunfight where you're surrounded on all sides in the swimming pool without using cheats.
Anyone who’s completed GTAIV will have their pulse quicken upon mention of “Catch the Wave”. Legendary evil.
@@TokyoXtreme that too, not only is it a long drive to even get to the starting mission area, Phil is downright suicidal and will charge headlong into gunfire and get himself killed unless you either take out the enemies super-fast(which is difficult to do with the lack of cover in the warehouse and usually just gets you killed) or park the truck in a certain way so that Phil gets stuck in it which lets you clear out the warehouse without having to worry about protecting his dumb ass.
@@jacksonteller3973 My solution was to park the truck in a way that the passenger-side door was up against a tree, so that Phil got stuck in the truck. I finished it the first time after using that strategy, but only after many, many attempts of trying to complete it the “right” way. This mission is easily the most frustrated I’ve ever been in any GTA mission; I had no problems with Big Smoke on the train, the David Cross airplane, or even getting all gold in flight school or driving school. The required five-minute drive upon every replay is definitely a major factor in its infamy.
@@TokyoXtreme I didn't find this one as bad as "Freefall" mostly because the flight controls on PC are total ass.
Espresso 2 Go is actually quite easy. So the timer doesnt start until you destroy one. You CAN go around and find them all so they'll be on the mini map and then start destroying them. It's the least frustrating way to do that mission and you'll have plenty of time to spare.
Otherwise, I think the forced stealth/tailing missions should've been higher.
Way worse was that one where you had to throw a grenade through the window! And of course you can't aim so 90% of the time it's going to miss and bounce back and blow up in your face killing you, even if you do get it in the guy just escapes, unless you knew to block his exit before hand.
@@AdanRayner I am quite sure the guide book that was released by bradygames actually proposed to block the garage exit and then grenade/shoot the car in which he attempts to leave/flee.
@@peterdaviesracing who has a guide book? Anyway it was more getting the grenade through the window that was the hard bit.
@@AdanRayner I have a guide book for 3, mostly to find those damn hidden packages.
I never had a single issue with the stealth missions in days gone. I can't imagine anyone would unless you try to blow through it without even a small amount of patience
Good thing it’s number 10 and not 1 then
Supply Lines: the reason why that Z is staying rent-free on your mini-map for the rest of the game.
"Fair play" is a guaranteed 1st place in each Worst Mission Ever list
It blows my mind that half these mission styles are still being put in games in the 2020s.
The Days gone section has to be a joke right? 😂
Those missions are EXTREMELY easy and short. Personally I found them to be a fun alternative to the other tasks. Also, you dont want to shoot the guys because the entire point of thw missions is to gather information and meet your contact, both of which you couldn't do if you got caught or shoot them.
I totally agree, if they were damn hard it would be fair enough..I liked em, especially seeing what happened to Deacons informant (I forget his name)-Im liked their suits, nice graphics, and the sneaking around listening to their conversations was quirky and different too...if anything was awkward and a bit tediously hard for me it was kicking the ass of the Sawmill hoard..but what a great game!
@@mickyb.8014 Agreed. In fact, I hope the next one has more chances to sneak for information, in and out of the main story line.
- the MAKO in Mass Effect
- the speeder mission in Shadows of the Empire
- that confusing underground puzzle in Fallen Order
In Spiderman 2, I always just grabbed the balloon and swung away with it, every time.
There are a few issues I have with Days Gone, despite it being one of my all time favorite games, NERO being bullet proof is one of them. If freakers can rip through the suits, a bullet should too.
I dont think freakers can rip the suits though.
Also based on the ending, the people in suits may be far more powerful than meets the eye.
@@heartblade8925 It's explained in at least one of the missions where you follow the researcher that the suits don't do much to protect against freaks, though we never specifically see that in game.
If days gone is your all time favourite. Then your opinion means jack shit
@@bennyblunto973 it's the rare situation that critics were right on and gamers overrate it.
@@bennyblunto973 Days Gone was excellent, I don't understand why there's so much hate towards it. It's basically Daryl Dixon simulator, and I absolutely loved it.
For Jak 2 i was expecting the mission where you collect the piece of the seal from the water slums and the krimson guards attack you to be on the list, its harder that the metal heads in the forest mission
That water slums mission was so hair-pulling and frustrating!
@@sozaj yeah lol, most of the time now when i replay the game i can navigate the boardwalks on the jetboard without falling into the water and avoiding the guards
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
@@cpw95 I just punch my way to the goal you move so fast the lasers can’t keep up with you
Hearing about the race mission is the entire reason I haven't played Mafia, despite everything else about it seeming great.
It's not really that great. Mafia has a fantastic story and decent gameplay but all three games have some extremely bad design desicions like this that somehow got through.
This hilariously awful race, for example. Worst mission I've ever played in a game, bar none.
In Mafia 2, the almost hour long totally linear prison sequence. Bo-ring. Another stupid decision that takes you out of the open world.
In Mafia 3, the copy/paste side activities you have to do to progress rackets (and the story). They are all the same.
I am not holding out hope for the new Mafia. These guys obviously love trying to hobble their games with terrible missions.
Mafia will always live in the shadow of the much better Godfather games.
@@nousername2942 Disagree, Godfather games had repetitive missions as well, part 2 was pretty guilty of that, I think the Mafia games are all better then then part 2.
@@jacksonteller3973 Sure comparing it to part 2 but you cannot tell me any Mafia game is a better mob game than the 2006 Godfather. Full fleshed out faction systems, racketeering, collecting and extortion, arson, being able to enter most buildings and even talk to any random person. 2006 really was a great year
12:48 Can't possibly imagine how that turn went so bad lol. Honestly though the cars seems really floaty and awful even for someone who also enjoys racing games.
I think the tease at the end of Days Gone was that the suited NERO people may actually be infected/mutated, so it's not necessarily the suit protecting them.
Ahahaha Supply Lines,
Back in 2010,
I remembered I was frustated so much failing that again and again that once I killed all delivery guys I thought mission was over but we had to bring that damn RC Helicopter back to Zero's roof. And my fuel went kaput.
It took me some 30-40 tries to finally clear it. Never have been frustated playing a video game before that.
😂😂😂
That race mission at the start in Mafia, that mission ruined the game for me, it’s like the game is locked until you passed that mission and it was frecking hard mission
The mission I remember HATING from Jak II Is where you had to escort that crew through the sewers. SUCH a pain. Oooh and the whack a mole where you had to be absolutely perfect
Having never played the original I picked up Mafia Remastered. Couldn't get past the chapter-based gameplay so I never finished it, but I remember approaching that racing mission with extreme trepidation based on everything I'd read about it online and - finding it pretty easy.
the Days Gone nero stealth missions were super easy. the patrols were very predictable. the hiding spots were extremely obvious.
I know right 😄 I don't think Jake is very good at gaming to be honest
Thanks for the video, y'all! These are all hilarious. :)
I found the NERO stealth missions in Days Gone SO easy. Maybe it was just me but I never had any problems with them. Taking on the hordes, that was the hard part a lot of the time.
