You want to know which particular timed-instalose missions I
really hate?
FPS's "Underwater" sections. The use of flooded subterrainian levels, sewers and hydro-dams etc. ARGHGH!
Yes, it's of course
entirely reasonable that having failed to gain entry to a facility by other less clandestine means our "hero" will summon up the necessary beyond-human breath-holding skills and swim to the bottom of a dam's lake, turn off underwater valves and find his way in through pipes carrying water into the facility. -
No, it's not! - Not under any circumstances!
It's just a thinly disguised 'timed insta-lose mission' - You know it, I know it, and I don't appreciate it, at ALL.
I can suspend my disbelief long enough to handle the idea that my "hero" has mastered every weapon under the sun (and other suns too.)
I can believe that
one man can save humanity, and enjoy it, whilst holding on to the suspension of disbelief.
However, if you goddamned ask me to accept that my manly, testosterone-pumped hero
not only has the knowledge of how to reduce a hydropower station to the usefulness of a dead battery with the turn of 2 publicly available, although submerged, cutoff valves but also do it on one lungful of air I will likely hunt you down and shoot you in the face, repeatedly, with a .22 air pistol, until "Pizza face" is something that you
wished someone would call you.
And yes, that goes for you too Valve.
