It's filler, and the large nature of it also gives it a poor sense of direction once you're done with the enemies. I personally really like that part of the game. That's the only segment in the game where the player had some options on how to tackle the situation, and it wasn't even like you were juggling a lot of gameplay elements.

Disorienting and glitchy. The game's climbing mechanics arent fluid enough to handle enemies surrounding you, so it was an exercise in frustration.so many times while trying to climb a ship to get into cover it would cause me to dive off into the water and id have to start all over again. And even after you beat everyone, there was still no clear direction you needed to go. I just figured it out after about 15mins of diving looking for an exit. The rest of the game was great and expertly paced. That level didnt seem to fit the game.

Haven't played the game but I watched a video on youtube. What the f*ck were the developers thinking? That kinda thing is something that will make me stop playing a game altogether.

well it's been cortana and the floodship mostly, I'd also add library.

UC's been upstream and the boat section of uc3, lol.

Back when I played UC1 I never had a problem with upstream, I was probably too focused on the graphics however.

i know i've mentioned this before but it has to be every part of the rubix cube level in God of War 3

nothing about it was pleasing, from the waves of enemies, to the level design, to the escorting

  • I cannot name one in particular, but I am sure Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood had some crappy ones I hated.
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops (if MP counts) had some pretty awfully designed maps.
  • Same for Modern Warfare 3.
  • GoldenEye (Wii) on literally any dark level.
  • Because it's a fighting game, I am not sure this counts, but the Azazel boss fight on Tekken 6 is God awful.
  • Twisted Metal (again, if MP levels count) had this stupid Los Angeles Skyline stage where someone could abuse the s hit out of Talon, the helicopter.

Demon's souls, world 5. Story wise, it was interesting, and the final boss is one of my favorite bosses ever, but...Christ, no good. People have beef with Blight? It was a cake walk in comparison to W5, fps nightmare or not. Aside from those annoying ass toxic spitters, ofc.

Kind of funny that the level opens up a bit after every one complains about linearity, then they gripe that there is no direction. Same thing with the Last of Us. No bash on you by the way, I can see your point.

I think it was Assassin's Creed 2, or maybe it was Brotherhood.  Either way it was the level where you had to drive that stupid wooden tank and in order to get full syncronization you had to not take any damage.

the train level from uncharted 2. the whole game was so repetitive that it was a chore to finish, but this particular level takes the prize for being the worst level design i've seen in a while.

I hated the shipyard. Every time I tried to stealth it I would get spotted and enemies just start shooting at you from every direction. It took me like 5-10 tries to get past it the first time.

Mass Effect 1 and the joys of that stupid tank thing.

Am i the only one who liked the Mako? I loved landing on those planets and attacking the bases. They were repetitive, but still fun. I HATED planet scanning in ME2 though.

I loved the Mako as well! :D

That was in Brotherhood. And I found it quite easy, actually. You just had to move slowly, stay behind cover all the time, and pop out quickly to shoot.

Fantastic level. Terrible framerate. It was one of my favourite places to co-op/invade.

I've actually never had a problem with the frame rate in Blight Town. New Londo Ruins is a completely different story though. I was watching a slide show climbing up a ladder.

TheEroica

Upstream in UC1 was definately a problem but the UC3 shipyard I consider to be one fo the best levels generation. 

What I find hilarious about people complaining about Shipyard is that its the same people who moan and whine about how linear UC is yet SHipyard is an open area that usually gives you the freedom to tackle the enemies any way you want.

Nope.

That mission is when i realized that the only thing I enjoyed from that game was the scripted sequences and not the actual gameplay.

Nothing but hand holding and non-gameplay. Lame as hell.

What version were you playing? I consistently had drops to 5 fps on PS3. But then again, you may not have noticed it, since it never really went above 15 in the first place.

The Fade in Dragon Age: Origins. I'm so happy that a mod exists to remove it from existence.

Cortana in Halo 3.

The temple with the big blue enemies in Uncharted 2, along with the final boss fight.

Agreed, its just a piece of shit designed level. Getting swamped from enemies in every damn direction, friggin turrets overwhere, stupid ass enemies that you have to take their helmets off first (which are completely **** stupid I might add). That whole level is just shit. And then once you clear out the majority of the enemies there is zero indication of where you should go. Complete shit and second worst encounter in the game. Its a shame since its so big too.

Level design is very important to me and I know which games to avoid.

But the ones I played, AC3 and GTA4 have absolutely atrocious level design. The only good part of GTA4 was the bank heist. AC3 had a few moments with cool stealth action. That's it....

Skyrim has mindless, shallow dungeon design, the overworld is void of gameplay substance/interaction. Terrible. How can one enjoy this game, I don't get it.

Lost Izalith (Dark Souls) - Love the game, but this level was just bad. It feels very unfinished. They would have been better off not putting it in the final game. Ascension (Crysis) - The flying controls are very not good in Crysis, so making a level where you do nothing but fly equates to a wonderfully tedious experience. Anyone who said they enjoyed this level is lying. Mass Effect 2 side missions - Lifeless uninteresting filler quests. They serve absolutely no purpose to the rest of the game.
