It was actually bugged, so sometimes it was impossible to hit your shots with your sling. Apparently was working fine on PC, but broken on ps.

Beast Clergyman + Maliketh. Pure melee build and I don't have access to spirit ashes since apparently it's too late to find the bell.
I refuse to get help from another player, I only want to play offline
Sure, any help with tactics would be appreciated, I've tried everything I can find online.

That boss fight in Deus Ex HR where you're running around in electrified water. It's like the antithesis of the wonderful gameplay in Detroit, what were they thinking?

Not that it made me consider quitting, but MGS4 making over half of one of only 5 chapters of the game a forced stealth follow is a massive pain. It's the worst form of auto-scroller and at best is enjoyable only the first time.
Speaking of MGS, one mission that did make me consider giving up was
Being made to replay the first mission with its lack of control and forced slow movement. It was only curiosity that made me push through that awfulness again.

Same here. Any time the game forces you to play as the annoying sidekick always grinds my gears. The atreus sections go on for WAY too long.This little cunt

In FFXVI, I reached the desert level with your uncle. It was nothing but a series of go here, talk to that person like 8 times! I was so bored I started skipping the dialogue just to find out there were even more people to talk to before the main quest can continue. By the time I was done with the quest I stopped playing because I didn't want to start the next quest where there's even more talking quests. Just make them a cutscene since most of the game are cutscenes already.

I remember somehow figuring out how to drive that thing perfectly and always winning the race by a country mile. Many of my friends kept asking me to play through that race for them, lol.
It was actually pretty simple, really. Just make sure that you slow down on tighter corners and release the gas around wider ones, and only floor it when you're on a straight path.
Same with this one. I played through that game so many times that I have the paths through those labyrinths burned into my brain and it was really funny to read whenever someone complained about them because I knew exactly where to go.

If there's one thing about Ubisoft. They specialize in world building. And Odyssey looks incredible as it is. Now if only they took the design philosophy of Unity, we would have a GOTY contender right there.

I replayed 1 and 2 recently and these sections are not that bad anyway. In fact there are actually very short.
Trick was to get to the first place as fast as possible, AI wasn't very fast and aggressive, so yeah after you take the leadership you can ride safe and accurately and finish first without many problems.

Easily Tomb Raider Reboot. By the time the second QTE got on my nerves I quit the game altogether. Can't stand this brainless shit that's only there to piss you off.

The whole of act 1 in divinity original sin, seriously the game isnt that hard but because armour stats are so fucking low its actually incredibly difficult, your literally forced to steal everything for potions
Dragons dogma with taken the cargo to main castle hub, it isnt difficult but it just goes for about 10mins

Ooof that’s a challenge alright! Didn’t even realize you could skip getting the bell.
Do you have the Bloodhound’s Fang? I used that for my last playthrough, you can do a powerful slash where you jump back after the attack that is super useful.
Anyway in my opinion this is one of the hardest bosses, worse than Malenia for me. And without spirit ashes… Hmm. I’ve always used ashes to distract him since he can be super aggressive. I hate this guy lol
I assume you’ve already tried many strategies, and getting to Maliketh without any ashes means you’re already skilled and I’m not sure what I could tell you.
In general, you can dodge many of his attacks and the pillars can be used to get away from harm for a short while. Without ashes to distract him he’ll probably go around the pillars quickly but I would still try that. Rush for the left one at the start, that’s what I always do, never stay on the bridge.
And phase 2 is super annoying. By using melee you’re already used to be up close, it’s a good strategy in general for Maliketh imo, no research done but I think he’ll do less of the magic slashes when you’re close.
I would look up some video boss guide if I were you. Maybe there is some weapon with an ash that is extremely powerful against him. Check if you can use any items. And study the guides on Fextralife.
Sorry to not be able to give you any detailed help!

Any game mostly Japanese, where characters decide they aren't going to speak, but instead just go "hhmm, ohh, ahh. I was interested in Tales of Arise and one of the Yakuzas. Not reading all that shit.

Play the PC version and mod it out of your game.

The fricking platform section in Doom 2016.
Every platform section specially the vertical ones that you fall and lose the entire progress deserve s spot in this topic

Some people like Judgement and Yakuza Kiwami/2, God of War 2018.....but in the first two case the combat just got to ridiculous level towards the end of the game, ie being outnumbered or when you thought you dealt with the main bad guy he still gets up for more, when you have no health reserves to speak off because they were all taken up just trying to reach him! God of War 2018, it just became boring mini-boss after mini boss or just about surviving the battles..

Totally forgot about this. Spider-Man and Gravity Rush immediately come to mind. If your game has no stealth mechanics, don't put in stealth sections. How hard is that to understand? No one likes them. They bring the game to a grinding halt. They just add artificial hours to the game.
Shit. Another one I forgot. I actually gave up on Arkham Knight after four hours because I despised the Batmobile combat.

Honestly, I've replayed the 2018 one 4 times. I'll never touch Raganrok again due to the Atrues sections.

The final boss of the second Doom Eternal DLC. There's at least one other boss that's asking way too much precision on a controller in a game where you're supposed to be on the edge of dying all the time... but at least there you could use the 1 damage mode. The tug of war thing was just too much.

Sekiro, those little buttholes that sit on the roof that jump around and attack you. The bosses were much easier to fight than those things.
TLOU2 - the 2nd part of the game, hated playing as Abby so much. Why would you kill off a well liked main character, then make the player spend 8 hours playing the character you just made your audience hate. I just rushed through it so i could say i finished it.

Shrine of Amana in vanilla Dark Souls 2 1.0.
If you weren’t there, you have no idea.
If you don’t know what it is, imagine a linear, very long Souls area where the floor is covered in water and it’s full of hidden chasms so you can‘t just run ahead blindly and overrun everything. Meanwhile there’s a horde of mages that are constantly bombarding you from every direction with homing spells and are guarding each other’s back so while you’re trying to deal with one, another one is attacking you relentlessly and with deadly accuracy.

I did find a tip about the storm blade so I'm gonna try that. It's been so frustrating that it's difficult enough to finish the first phase, so I rarely get to the point that I can practice phase 2. But with enough time.. Eventually.

Maliketh is in fact really easy if you have that Claw item. All you need to do is keep distance, and wait for him to do the 3 projectiles. After the third he will fly into you, when he is flying, press the item button to activate the Blasphemous claw. You will stun him for a good while. He has another attack you can parry with it, I think its the ground stomp. The timing of the claw item is rather lenient.
