9 Annoying Video Game Moments You Hated
7. Escorting Emma Emmerich - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty
Kojima and his games make a return to his list with one of his most successful endeavours to ever be committed to code. Though thanks to a character swap from Snake to Raiden, MGS2 was a contentious game for some.
So with some having an already bad taste in their mouth, honestly this entire sequel could be featured even though the twist isn’t that offensive and players should just move on. Raiden is grating, but this game in many ways is still poignant to this very day.
Though that being said, escorting Emma Emmerich through the Big Shell was punishing, to say the least. Some have come out to defend this, stating that it was Kojima’s intention to make it punishing, but that can’t excuse this agonising time. Climaxing in a sniper protection sequence, players have to watch as Emma walks into countless traps so slowly.
And don’t even bother attempting this without Diazepam as the weapon sway is the most unforgiving mechanic in this game.
