9 Awful Parts in Otherwise Amazing Games

Seeing an awful section in a fantastic game is always a strange experience. Up until that point, the game had been an incredible experience, giving you exactly what you wanted from this particular title. Then comes along a section that has you wondering whether or not the previous hours of gameplay had all been a massive fever dream before returning to its former glory.

As it turns out, this happens quite a bit in many of our favorite games. For a little more context, we’re going to look at some of these moments and dive into what made them so uncomfortable. Here are nine awful parts in otherwise amazing games.

Donning the Big Daddy suit in BioShock

BioShock is a game that many people adore for a variety of reasons, but it isn’t without flaws. Near the end of their adventures in the undersea city of Rapture, the player is tasked with collecting all the ingredients for their very own Big Daddy suit. That sounds exciting, right?

Being able to stomp around as one of the game’s most fearsome enemies was an idea that seemed awesome in theory. In practice, however, the entire section was less than stellar. Escorting little sisters around really kills the flow of the narrative that had picked up significantly around that time. Plus, having a good portion of your screen obscured by the Big Daddy helmet is headache inducing.

Piloting the gummi ship in Kingdom Hearts

While there are surely tons of people who enjoy this segment of Kingdom Hearts, many people could go their entire lives without ever having to fly the gummi ship ever again. The strange thing about the gummi ship gameplay is that it isn’t so bad, but it is incredibly bland and boring.

Contrasting the fun and vibrant Disney worlds with these simple and extended flying sessions is enough to dread returning to the classic game for many people.
