Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Otherwise good games that make you think "Was this part even tested?"

I don't even know how I won that, but I did and never played it again. I never knew how to play Blitzball in 10, and it seemed pointless in X-2 (you don't play). I don't understand the dungeon mini game in X-2 International either. :/
I couldn't really think of any and then I read some posts.
This. What the hell were they thinking. Seriously. So broken.
I was stuck on that for the entire summer in Kindergarten
My friend told me what to do when I got back to school in September.
I thought this at first too. It seems what you're supposed to do is climb up the left wall and glide into him.

Also I'll second(or third, or fourth?) the posts about the gambler dress sphere in FFX-2. I lost to that little shit in the final round and he's all "yeah I'm keeping this for research or something...eat it sluts!"

I thought that Bioshock was glitched or that there was some sort of loading/cache error when I started it up for the first time and found that the subtitles didn't match with the audio. This is probably my only nitpick with that game, though (apart from hacking, which as said before takes you out of the game a bit and is only interesting the first few times).
That barrel from Sonic 3... bad memories, though I think I didn't take too long to figure it out.

Yeah, the entire swoop racing thing was terrible. Too simplistic and not much fun, yet insanely hard.

Thinks he should have been the one to kill Batman's parents.
BioShock's plasmid slots made no sense even in the context of the game world. Why go through all the effort of creating the vending machine conceit to make the item upgrading feel organic and then resort to using archaic and artificial limitations via menus? It doesn't make the game more enjoyable or balanced - it's just lazy, unimaginative design.

When he targets you to stomp you his mech bends over from landing, you can hit him then with all characters no problem.FF_VIII said:The boss after the metal sonic. (Dr. Robotnik)
At least I hope he was talking about him.
Only advantage sonic and tails get is that if you time it right you can get one or two extra hits in as he walks towards you before jumping, otherwise its the same fight.

Super Paper Mario - Latter half of the game. Completely tedious and devoid of fun.
Final Fantasy 9 - Is there a reason the must-be-in-your-party protagonist is only capable of dealing out aout 1/4th the damage as the other characters? His attacks and trance sucked so bad. Also the balance of the game was really unprofessional. Alot of cool abilities and summons get unlocked waaaay after you are strong enough to beat even the secret boss. And for higher leveling the Great Dragons are the only reasonable option and the exp for them sucks.

Most of the things listed here are simply things people didn't like.
To get back on topic, several of the cutscenes in Star Wars: Rogue Leader (GC) on Endor would simply cut out in the middle of the dialogue. They fixed it in Rebel Strike in Co-op. You'd think someone would have tested all the levels before the game shipped.

Dear Lord, I remember that like it was yesterday. I think I was in 2nd or 3rd grade when that came out, and I was stuck on that barrel crap FOREVER!!!!!! Ugh, so frustrating, that was insane.
Recently, I'd like to know if anyone actually played the final version of Switchball, especially with that terrible tearing.

If there's one thing about PH I hate is the fucking Ocean King dungeon. I'm fucking SICK of going back to it. I'm only 1/3 through the game and I don't wanna go back because I hate that much backtracking.

i was referring to the boss in that mechanical level where ur running thru cylinders and everything is brown/copper. I just remember not being able to jump over robotnik as he swoops downFF_VIII said:The boss after the metal sonic. (Dr. Robotnik)

Oh I just remembered another one! In Aquatic Ruin Zone Act 2, when Knuckles gets to the boss if you don't get on top of the totems as they come out of the ground I remember it being pretty hard for Knuckles to get up there to hit the boss because the arrows tend to be too far apart for his jumps.

It's pretty much the perfect game..
Bonus bad points because they weren't forced in the Japanese version.
This was the game that made me get a turbo controller so I could hold X while I watched TV. I'll also throw in Magic Knight Rayearth for Saturn for the same reason.Jiggy37 said:
Also that one pre-boss part in Rondo of Blood (Original) where the background is green. Your green gas in the remake isn't fooling me into thinking that was intentional.
There have been plenty of great mentions so far in this thread but I'm shocked that no one has mentioned X-Men on the Genesis.
You get to the end of the Mojo's Crunch level and a timer starts counting down. Prof X tells you to "Reset the computer" or something like that. I would ALWAYS get stuck there because I had no idea what to do. If the timer runs out I can't remember if the game ends or if you just get stuck in the level forever, but whatever happened it sucked.
I found out years later that you are actually supposed to reset the Genesis console to beat the level. Why did they think that anyone would try to do that?

The sniper level in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (I think that's what it was called). Way too many of those sniper posts was just a matter of trial and error.
A much bigger issue is one boss fight in R-Type DX for the game boy color. Maybe the system runs out of memory or something, but after a while a lot of the bullets that the boss fires disappear, but they still destroy your ship if you touch where they would be if they kept going after they disappeared. So you end up with a lot of disappearing bullets that are still dangerous to you. I had to beat that boss by keeping an eye on every last bullet so that I could remember where they were headed after they disappeared.

COD4 singleplayer-looks like they kept the "monster closets" from COD2. The indoor environments are just flat out crap to fight in. I love it when the friendly AI says "this house is clear, lets move on," and then I run upstairs and get killed by enemies that are still spawning up there. Very annoying and shows how far behind this game is in some areas compared to other FPS's.

This (got the game when it first came out, but didn't beat it until after Mega Collection came out because of this dumbass level) and the 2nd half of Wind Waker.

I'm not saying it was a grand improvement, but didn't they adjust the Wind Waker Triforce sequence for the US version? I thought I'd read that they took out a few really repetitive steps versus the Japanese original, like one sequence where you got a chart to get a chart to get just one of the pieces. (And there might've even been a third chart involved in that.)

The first part of Rommel's Last Stand in COD2 in veteran. I swear if you don't immediately take cover under the truck within half a second you will be spawn camped by the AI. The whole game is rather cheap and shitty in veteran, but that particular part is burned in my head as being the worst part.

Going out of order in Metroid Prime 1 and 2 can make the hint system pretty fun. Game tells you to go check a place for an item to get to an item you already have.
