of our precious time over the most
[Music]
number ten lost sanctum Chrono Trigger
don’t get us wrong Chrono Trigger was
and still is an awesome game it was also
nice to have it on our Nintendo DS
however we can’t look past this tedious
bit within the new area The Lost sanctum
this area is essentially nothing but a
series of fetch quests that force the
player to traverse the mountain multiple
times there’s no change to the layout
with each quest either which could have
baby kept things fresh it didn’t make
the story suffer but it didn’t improve
or add to it either so it just comes off
number nine Riddler trophies Batman
okay The Riddler isn’t one of the worst
Batman villains but once we got our
first Riddler trophy he quickly became
the most frustrating villain this
egotistical jerk planted 440 of these
damn trophies around Arkham look the
worst part isn’t actually solving the
puzzles containing these pieces of junk
it’s that there’s so many of them and
collecting them doesn’t even get you
much of a reward
Riddler gets mad and then the police
arrest him that’s that’s it if a bit of
dialogue is important to you well have
at it buddy
as for us we’re gonna gladly skip these
and only nab the easy ones for that
small XP boost number eight where the
so fetch quests can be annoying
but you know it’s more irritating an
escort quest do you know what’s more
annoying than an escort quest though a
fetch escort quest yeah those exist and
where the joyful Oh Rome is a prime
example you’re all enough to travel all
the way to the gully of Burnt men to
find a lost Gruffalo you then have to
lead her back to the fields however if
you get too far she’ll stop following
and you’ll have to go back and get her
moving again can we just um go back to
saving the world and I’ll see to it this
never happens again I’m glad we helped
them number seven crow gives sushi Mass
Effect 2 what do you want I ever heard
you talking about the fish on the
Presidium you know what this epic space
adventure is missing fish more
specifically Aran’s surrounding the
procurement of fish when you overhear a
couple of Croghan talking about the
possibility of fish in the Presidium
lakes
you’ll be tasked with investigating this
theory after talking with the
groundskeeper you’ll find that D theory
is false so you’ll be getting two
options either you tell the crotons the
truth or buy some fish and lie to the
CRO goons about finding it warning this
will be the most important decision you
make and Mass Effect 2 yeah okay we’re
just kidding it’s completely freaking
number six exercising the truth Grand
there are many organizations out there
that will try to exploit your happiness
to steal your money if only Michael has
been taught that before in counting the
Epsilon organization in this mission
Michael must run five miles across the
grande Sonora Desert yeah five miles in
the desert and you’re notified every
point one miles you finished which makes
watching the counter so tantalizing in
the end you’ll have wasted up to 25 of
your minutes running in the desert like
fly number five defending settlements
fallout 4 we can still hear Preston
Garvey’s voice listen here at Garvey
we’ve saved these settlements over a
dozen times if we’re using resources to
put up guard stands sniper nests and
turrets then what the hell are our
settlers doing to make their defenses
fail how about you go over there and
deal with the threat yourself hey buddy
we’ve got some pretty major crap on our
plate like finding ghoul boys trapped in
refrigerators painting power armor and
collecting bobbleheads so sorry sorry
this this one just really got in there
number four queen of cards final fantasy
8 do you love playing triple triad card
game do you want to best every opponent
in the game we sure hope you don’t here
in for a real headache when trying to
best the queen of cards you’ll find
yourself doing a lot of travelling as
she disappears to a random location
after every battle should you lose a
card to her you’ll have to battle her
son to win it back and then talk to her
father to get an improved version of
your lost card basically with all of the
menus and card battles to intentionally
lose it’s enough to make you well give
up number 3
Paper Chase The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt just
came from there never mind
be back shortly with form 202 just
because a game is self-aware of the
busywork it’s making you do doesn’t make
it any better
in a quest called Paper Chase Geralt
spends his time talking to bank clerks
and collecting forms yeah it’s just one
big convoluted runaround while it’s a
little humorous to even imagine a which
are like Geralt worrying about Bank
forms we would much rather be hunting
monsters you know being a Witcher at
least this quest is an easy way of
getting a little more XP and money but
that’s there’s better ways to do it
mm hmm and as her personal emissary I
demand access to my account right now
okay so the Monster Hunter series is
great but this needs to be omitted from
future titles pleats as you might expect
from carrying a giant egg your movements
are slow when you try to pick one up
this makes the trek back to camp
kinda grueling and what makes the task
even more frustrating is that if you so
much as get hit once or fall the egg
breaks and you have to start the whole
journey over again did we mention that
you also have no way of defending
yourself either oh what’s that you need
to grab multiple eggs well okay we’re
number one making figurines the legend
Nintendo this was a bad idea for a
collectible and basically every possible
way using the deluxe pictograph you must
take a picture with 134 different
characters including enemies and bosses
your camera can only hold three photos
and you’ve got to make the shots count
because the game will be picky on how
you position your camera to make things
worse you can only have one figurine
made at a time which takes an entire
in-game day so what do you get for all
that wasted time
you’ve got figurines to show that all
the extra time could have been spent
doing other things this was fixed at add
in the HD version but it still really
sucks man do you agree with our picks
