I am hooked, hooked I say, on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Thanks to its structure, it means I can play one of the finest, open-ended games of this or any generation, and not have to sit through hour long cut-scenes of convoluted narrative twaddle. Most of the missions have been a blast to play, and I’m mixing them up to avoid repetition and boredom.
Some missions, you’ll find me sneaking around in the dark, like Batman, restarting so I can get a perfect sneaky run through, going for that addictively rewarding S Rank. Other times? I’ve gone in guns blazing, playing the game like a third person Call of Duty, and having a heck of a lot of fun doing it (while still managing to get a decent rank, because who knows with this game).
Still, there was one mission I did recently that I hated. Not because of what you had to do, or any restrictions on how you had to do it – but because it was timed. Let me tell you this; I hate timed missions. I hate a clock in the corner of my screen telling me, along with intermittent beeps and warnings, that I’m 5 minutes from failing. It does something to the inside of my brain that makes it impossible for me to think and act rationally, and very nearly inevitably leads to me failing said mission.
I get that they’re all about instilling some sense of urgency, but fail-states based on timers can, as far as I’m concerned, get in the sea. Those, and escort mission where the person you’re trying to save has the AI pathing of Leroy Jenkins, and negative HP are probably the two things that’ll get me to switch off a game, eject the dics (where applicable!), and dropkick it in right in to the sun.
What types of missions in games annoy you? Looking for shards? Collecting Elfroot? The whole of Dragon Age Inquisition?

Shards can get in the fucking sea.
The stuff you’re asked to fetch can get in the fucking sea.
The stuff you’re meant to kill x amount of can get in the fucking sea.
Stuff where you have to listen to boring story tropes for an hour can get in the fucking sea.
Quest hubs can get in the fucking sea.
Chests with essential items hidden in the furthest and most annoying to get to places that you’ll never go to normally or again can get in the fucking sea.
Defeating the same boss for weeks on end without getting that one piece of loot you need can get in the fucking sea.
The same daily quests every day for a month to get enough reputation can get in the fucking sea.
So basically, typical RPG and MMO shyte can get in the fucking sea.
Not to say I hate those genres. They just need something more interesting.

GW2 is a lot milder though in some of its stuff at least. You’re not forced to quest to lvl, which is ok. Exploring and doing shit you like also works, which is a nice break. But it doesn’t hold my interest for too long, because beyond that there’s little to keep you coming back for more. No end game content isn’t the issue – no enjoyable content is.

Mmmm this is a tough one. I’d say fetch quests, but sometimes those can be really cool if there’s a bit of story and it’s multipart with a few extras thrown in (Such as breaking in first and needing to put in effort other than “farming” the items required).
So perhaps the term would be vanilla fetch quests?

Never too soon when a dev screws over their customers.

Watch it on Youtube. They shoehorn the Batmobile every chance they get. Especially with those Riddler missions.

Unlocking a chest to get 100% game completion via an iPhone App. Also fcuking on-line mini games… IM TALKING TO YOU BLACK FLAG. I was unable to fully upgrade the JACKDAW because I am off-line.

I’d settle for 99.99% completion rather than use an iPhone for anything.

Anything and everything related to QTE’s. I don’t care to grind as long as I don;t have to quickly tap keys all over the place or I die. Looking at you RE5 specifically!

Hands down collecting x amount of items and escort mission.
Especially the damned Resident Evil 4 escort mission where you have to save the presidents daughter. Like can’t you just run away from the bloody zambies yourself.

I don’t have a problem with a fetch quest, I have a problem with nothing happening inside said fetch quest, if fetch quests had a bit more narrative structure, where you could be guided or entertained on your way to waypoint B, C, D,E,F…. It would be much more fun, I ABHOR when a game puts a waypoint down and says, look for the leaf atached to the Zebras rear end using this…*hands me a gyrometer* What the hell are you supposed to do in a situation like that? Timed missions can be fun, that specific mission actually scored me an S rank… and yes, I blew up everyfuckingthing along the way….

I despise Stealth missions, escort missions, underwater missions and timed missions…
So yeah I think I’d hate MGS….

All open world missions/quests that are not based on the story… so pretty much 90% of all open world games!!

What i really hate is bonus objectives in stealth games (especially in AC).
90% of the time its “Dont kill anybody”
…
…Are you fucking kidding me? It the reason I play these games!

Escort missions where the only goal of the character you’re trying to escort seems to be to die in the most horrendous manner possible…
