SPOILER: show

I'm talking about the part where the thing chases you down the inside of the ship and you have to make about 5 decisions correctly without having any information at all. It is almost purely luck, and if you make one wrong decision, you die and have to fight the entire final boss fight over again, which takes around 30 minutes. There is a telephone that lets you think you can save the game, and if you try to use it you find out it is dead and the beast comes and kills you, you don't even have a chance to escape. Then there is the part where you have to blow up the thing in the boiler room, but it is so ambiguous that you might not even know you're in the right room. It honestly took me about three hours to complete this part, and it probably made me more frustrated than I ever have been in a video game. I know it took my friend longer and he had to look at a guide because he probably never would have played it again otherwise. I know he liked the game up until that point and now he hates it more than any game ever.
