If there's one thing I hate about computer games, it's the puzzles that some developers try to incorporate into their games. As if the hordes of zombies, demons, and cyborg mobsters wasn't challenging enough, then they have to add stupid jumping puzzles that make it nearly impossible to get from point A to point B. But whatever, jumping puzzles I can handle. The platform jumping where I had to shoot at buttons on the wall to get across a broken bridge was a particularly amusing.
However, the current puzzle that I'm stuck on right now SUCKS ASS DISCHARGE! In the middle of this building, there is a control panel where you have to enter in a 5-digit code to activate the portal. Each code is in a different room in the building -- 5 different rooms then. Which means you have to WRITE DOWN each code as you find it, because there's no way in hell you're going to remember them all. Not only that, but each code is displayed to you as a spinning hologram, ala the Star Wars death star image, therefore it won't necessarily appear to you on the control panel in exactly the same way as it appears to you in the hologram. Brilliant.
This puzzle annoys me so much, that I might never play the game again. And that's not because I haven't solved it yet. It's because it's something as simple as punching in 5 numbers made to be impossibly difficult when it doesn't have to be. Way to botch up a decent game, assholes!
