5-3 BOSS FIGHT (RESIDENT EVIL 5)
The boss fight against Wesker and Jill is great drama from a narrative perspective, but man oh man does it get on your nerves when you actually get down to playing through it. Not only do you have to make sure you or your partner don’t kill Jill (which, if you’re playing solo, means removing lethal equipment from Sheva’s arsenal too), you also have to constantly be worried about the fact that your parter can’t die either (sure, that’s true of the entire game, but doubly stressful when in a boss fight against two bosses). And when you get past the first stage, there’s the second stage, which employs gimmicks in the most annoying way possible, and ends up being the exact opposite of fun.
