Oh yeah .. and the following quest, where you have to release the 30 Blood Gorgers, and wait if they are
aggressive or not .. i'm not sure if i dislike that one even more than Burn'em out

What i like the most .. maybe the whole Foxbat / Sapphire Stuff in VB ;)

What's that one in Vibora Bay where Papa Perrault has you gather stuff to make an antidote? I don't even try it anymore. :P

Mechaniste is annoying, and there's that buggy "Oooh, looks like I better shut down these defense turrets before somebody important gets hurt" triggered when you enter his room.

I used to dread the Monster Island crisis, until I learned you can just skip it by clicking on the raft near the mission start.

I don't do Lemuria anymore at all. And I don't really like the Vibora Bay stuff for the most part -- though it's a neat-looking area. I'd rather use Monster Island.

I hate the mission to kill 150 manimals in MI, completely boring, and the fact that it was repeateable made it worse because before alerts I had to do it like everyday to be able to level up and get more missions in MI

I hate Foxbattle of the Network Stars, but I hate the WCOC nemesis mission more. It would be less unbearable if it was one of the randomly rotated ones instead of always the second instanced nemesis mission. Rob ****ing Mahogany was only kinda funny the first time I had to deal with that asinine, not-even-clever reference to a movie that is only watchable because every main character is so horribly moronic that it's impossible not to laugh out of pity.

PSI-lent but Deadly, the first mission that I encountered in CO that actually made a half-hearted attempt to tell a story rather than be some formulaic in-joke (despite itself being a riff on a cringeworthy pun), will always be one of my favorites. Along with anything in Snake Gulch.

I finished it once or twice by actually mapping, on paper, the area. And discovered how damn frustrating and annoying THAT is. Maybe if you work on a team, it's easier... but frankly, it bugs the crap out of me. Good call.

Seconded. I hate Lemuria. So much of the game to this point is in one plane, and all of a sudden, I have to go 360 degrees? My reflexes and physical skills aren't that good. My characters fly (I find it the only practical way to travel in this game, never mind acrobatic-climbing mountains) and I'm used to movement - but I lose it when I have to watch every direction for an attack.

I found that when I take the "Kill 150 <types> mission, it usually dovetails into other missions that I'm doing... but I pay almost no attention to them unless I finish a section's missions and I haven't gotten near to finishing it. If I have 60/150 in Canada and I'm about to go to the Desert, I just drop that mission.

I hate the PSI mission where I have to find the Mind Control chips, because the drop rate is CRAP. (That's English, not Metric... :D )

I should pick some missions that I like... I love any mission where I can pick it up and then resolve it with "Search for Emergencies" :). I kind of like the Burnside mission where I have to beat up the Name ghosts... it's rather close to actually fighting super villains in this game.

The vast majority of Vibora Bay is a terrible slog of overly long underground crypts.

Also trying to get the Tsiataka Bigfoot shaman wand to drop is a massive irritation.

I actually dislike all of the higher level zones. Lemuria, onster island, and Vibora Bay all feel weird to me. I really just want another MC-styled zone with higher levels. :P

Anyway, I forgot to tell my favorite mission: Piloting Mega-D in Resistance. After that mission, I can see why Dr. Destroyer likes them so much. It made me want to laugh maniacally while lazer-eyeing some helpless hero.

The Director's Dispatches - I have always hated how I can never seem to find one of the couriers.

Mandragalore - The only reason I dislike it is because I was dumb enough to run it on elite.

Serpent's Lantern - The base missions SUCK. It's just the same thing, 3 times in a row.

In general, any mission with overly long, unskippable cutscenes (like FoxBattle and Lemurian Antiquities) or indoor missions (Pretty much ALL of Vibora Bay's awful crypt missions).
