Crikey, all really bad parts of otherwise fantastic franchises, I recall another hair pulling moment, I think I actually ought to get therapy for it. Well, two, no three! First one is the Reaper encounter on Mass Effect 3, good grief that was horrible, waltzing about on what I can only describe as a shelf facing a reaper (for those unfamiliar with the Mass Effect series, reapers are about as tall as that building in Dubai, you know, that really tall one and fire beams capable of blowing up frikkin cities!) and you have a poncy stupid gun which was blatantly made by hillbillies because you have to charge it up so that a flotilla of ships can shoot at the said reaper which, if you think about it, makes as much sense as washing your hands before you go to the toilet (you would make waaay more progress doing that, by the way). You have to do this THREE SODDING BUGGERING TIMES and if you die at any, I repeat ANY point in this fight you have to start again. And you have to dodge it's lasers which it fires every 10 seconds and after doing so successfully all that happens is that it jabbers to you (would have been nice to nick it's laser but hey, WE HAVE TO DESTROY IT, OK?).
Another moment was in Mass Effect 1, the final boss literally consists of you sat behind two blocks shooting at the boss which jumps around and hits you like a fothermucker and the other moment was on Gears of War 1, the very last boss where you fire about a billion billion trillion and fourty seven bullets at the boss in order to off him. And that's just on normal! My college mate told me that the hardest difficulty takes about half an hour at least. Of shooting. At something that again, hits like a fothermucker. Thanks, devs, thanks.
N.b. I haven't played Overwatch by the way but I know them feels, the whole reason I quit WoW, it's gone really bad on that bloody game, nobody helps out like they sorta did back in '09, it's a shame.
