What You Hate About Some Video Games (level types) Challenges Your Weakest Point

I HATE escort missions.  These aren't the cool kind of escorts that you pay for when you're with your buddies in Vegas.  These escorts involve you ushering a idiotic NPC through a game without them getting hurt even though it seems like they have a death wish. 

I also hate (to a lesser degree) collect-o-thons.  90% of the N64 era 3D platformers were this.  Mario64, Donkey Kong 64, Earthworm Jim 3D, Glover, etc., were all like this.  I'm not a fan.  Please don't ever go back to "Find 10 Red butt-plugs to open this gate".

^ I hate escort missions/games, too. I was going to mention them, but I thought it was more of an annoyance, than a challenge.

Oh, and thank you for mentioning the N64 collect-a-thons. I was starting to think I was the only one that didn't like those, since I always hear those games receiving heaps of praise. Soooo boring. Big empty spaces to literally just run around in.

I'd have to say I hate extreme platforming in a game with no business in doing so. I'm bad at platforming jumps so when a game needlessly throws in a platform area it's infuriating as I spend the next 30 mins. perfecting it.

long levels with very sparse or non-existent check points. I can do just about everything well enough to make a reasonable checkpoint but if im forced to take an entire map and be perfect on the whole thing then It will easily start pissing me off. im not a perfect guy so don't expect me to be able to do something perfectly the whole game.
