Dark chronicle. I keep getting distracted and stop playing the game. It's a pretty gripping story, but it's quite repetitive and it feels as if it's missing something. Can someone give me a reason to continue? Seriously.

Accidental post. Sorry.

Ah

The Library on Heroic in Halo.

Fucking S.T.A.L.K.E.R!! Game glitched or somthing near the end. Went to find the Dr. Whatisname to get Strelok's location (instead of going straight to the core) and blow me if the BASTARD wasn't there. At all. Ever. :'~(

Fire Warrior on PS2. I could never kill the last boss - some kind of massive winged demon type thingy that was seemingly indestructable. Oh and the epilogue on COD4, obviously.

Well, I guess I'll break the trend and go with something a little different... Starcraft, on whatever the default difficulty is... I haven't been able to beat the final human mission without using a cheat (you're up against a human opponent who has a dozen ghosts that stealth and just lockdown whatever units you send in). I admit I only tried for a few days before giving up and moving on, so I'm sure that I'd eventually get it... but who's going to waste time doing that? Oh, and one of the Zerg missions I can't do because any attack is defended by a dozen templars that spam lightning storm on an invading force.

Or, alternatively, I just suck at games :)

Prey. No idea how far on I was. I was getting randomly shot by guys on the floor, walls and ceilings while trying to run up a gravitational curve. The weird gravity was making me ill and the game so far had been less than fun, so when my dude passed into the spirit realm to run a jumping puzzle for life fragments (or something) I just quit out and never looked back.

The only thing I can think of is the last boss battle in GH3 (So difficult *shudders*...)

Hitman: Contracts The mission where you have to kill the triad bosses in the small block with a restaurant. This game was awesome but the whole thing about one stuff up meaning game over was hard.

Also FFVII i got to the big grind session at the end and cbf'ed. I do not mind grinding and in fact i am compulsive but some FF games have this huge session before the final boss of grinding i just find wrong.

Currently stuck on Sanctus in DMC4. Yes, yes, I know he's "so easy" and how lame I am.
(The real reason is Nero is boring. I know my fingers would be raw if it were Dante.)

Dante: And how would you be getting these "raw fingers" with me? *eyebrows raise*
Lisa: Oh, behave! *blushes*

The Epilouge on cod4 on veteran. To this day i have not completed it

I wonder why people say that level's hard, I completed it in one go and now I feel left out :(

That is very unlikely, on hardened yes, but not on veteran.

On topic: After a 23 lose streak on StarCraft, I gave in, im still going to defend the game in the RTS topics, but I've given up with the game itself, ill happily play Custom maps again once I get a decent internet connection and live with that.

Also about my run on COD4 Mile High Club on X-Box when i beat it I literally had 0.3 seconds on the timer, I actually jumped yelling out YES YES I DID IT! after getting the shot.

There was this one jump in Wonder Boy in Monster World that I just simply could not get. Great game, absolutely loved it, but at the very end, I was just stopped dead by this one stupid jump. It was on to an itty bitty ledge and I kept falling off. Stupid, I know, but it drove me mad. I got so frustrated that I traded the game in and never played it again.

Which is even more stupid.

I've got two right now: anything after All Guillied Up on Hardened or Veteran in CoD 4, and the first level on Legendary in Halo 3.
(I've beaten the last level on Legendary, however. What's wrong with this picture?)

EDIT: I have beaten all the levels except for One Shot, One Kill on Hardened since re-attempting the game recently.

I downloaded this game from the H.P. Lovecraft Commonplace Book Contest called "Handyman Wanted." Sadly, after a transparent setup (a book of matches and a knife in the dresser drawer?), the first obstacle it threw it me was a Twelve Puzzle. I suck at Manhattan geometry, but still... Manhattan geometry = too Euclidean for Lovecraft.

The final boss battle in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

Not so much for the difficulty of the fight, but the length of the fight combined with the two long cut scenes that you can't skip made it such a chore to replay that I just gave up after about 4 or 5 attempts.

COD4's One Shot, One Kill and Mile High Club on Veteran. Stupidly difficult.

Halo's Library and Halo 3's Cortana were impossible too.

Every single level of God of War 2 on god mode had me trying like 20 times giving up coming back to it later then another 20 tries then giving up again until I finaly beat it (toughest hack and slash game on earth right next to Devil May Cry 3)

The Epilouge on cod4 on veteran. To this day i have not completed it

Nor have I, once though I had actually fired the bullet that would have killed the last enemy and the time ran out before it merged with said enemy's skull. Damn was I mad.

I completed it and got the achievement with 13 seconds left. The secret is killng the guy with the shot gun (the guy after the guy in the bathroom) and using lots of flashbangs and running. Also if you pick up the aforementioned shotgun t helps a lot.

Funnily enought he one time i got to him was the time i was grabbing everygun available and mowing them down. I also remember another game Halo 2 on co op legendary me and my friend spent 6 hours and couldn't get past the first level.

Tell it all brother, tell it all. I also have yet to beat it on vet.

I would add the first time you fight Alma in NG for Xbox. The very first time I fought her, I just couldn't beat her, but later (after I had beated the game). I ramped up the difficulty and beat her in one shot.

In Mischief Makers for the N64, there was this one point where you had to win some kind of race to progress in the game. I'm sure there was some sort of game mechanic I wasn't aware of that would make me go a lot faster, but at the time, I just couldn't figure it out-- and none of the guides I read helped at all.

This was a long time ago, though-- occasionally I've thought about hunting down a copy of the game just to finish it, but then I just don't.

Super Paper Mario. The part where you had to work yourself free. Yahtzee said that it only took him a few minutes- I don't see how. You had to also avoid electrical bolts, so you couldn't just leave the controller either.

Instead of quitting, though, I looked in a walkthrough and cheated to find the correct password. Why oh why would they do that in a video game?

EDIT:

never mind

As wgreer said, Alma was a nightmare, took me days. General RAAM on insane difficulty in gears of war was also really tough, had to take several breaks. As a kid the first boss of rygar for the nes was impossible for years until me and my friend realised that those blobs enemies dropped were meant to be used to buy uppgrades for your attack. After that he was easy (no, english is not my first language. I remeber beating the first police quest with a dictionary). As many have said, the mile high club on veteran was really tough. My advice is somewhat like Luminescents. My tips are:

1. Never reload, ever. pick up enemy weapons as you go. you need to spend most of your time running and you cant run and reload at the same time.
2. Flashbang and run past most enemies. Just like in the regular missions of every CoD game, enemies will not spawn behind you, if you reach a checkpoint all previous opposition is terminated (one of my gripes with the games). Every enemy that you run past will be taken care of effectivly by your teammates, they will not give chase if you are out of their fov.
3. Shotgun, and the p90 (lots of ammo)

PS3fanboy:
What game are you talking about?
The "S.T.A.L.K.E.R!!" part sounds like Resistance.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl!

I was stuck on FFX, trying to beat Yunalesca. Went back the next week and beat her. Had the same problem with the Boss after the Calm Lands.

FFX-2 I completed, and then went back to get 100%. I gave up during Chapter 3, doing the Thunder Plains calibration missions. I HATE those missions.

Hogs Of War, I got to the very last island, with all the legends, and couldn't complete it.

When I was 12, I played MGS. I always died at the very beginning since I hate stealth, and haven't played any MGS game since.

There have been a few moments on F.E.A.R. where I just hand the controller to a mate.

NG: Black on Master Ninja. The final boss run is ridiculously hard.

ive had a few where im just like F it im done

the end of gears of war- i kept hitting that ugly f'er in the head and it never seemed to matter so i was just like whatever

the end of devil may cry 4 again the last boss and by the time i got to him i was pretty much over the game i tryed about ten times and then i just sent it back to gamefly

there was a level on hulk ultimate destruction that i just couldnt get pass where u have to run after 3 different trucks and smash em it just wouldnt happen for me i tryed for like a month to beat it and never did

CoD4 epilogue on Veteran

Front Mission 4 because of the sheer numbers of enemies and being severely outclassed in weapons AND armor pretty far into the game (and why the hell do I have to save Paris??)

Halo 3 on Legendary because all my mission info got deleted in an HDD incident, and I haven't had the patience to redo it since.

Final Fantasy 7. I got stuck in the golden saucer and was so aggrivated that i completley just lost interest. that stupid part where your a prisoner and you have to escape. A year later i played it again and found out all i had to was ride an elevetor type thing i was so angry. eventually i beat it though. just stick with the game i guess is what i have to say.
Right now im trying to beat bloody palace for Devil may cry 4. With nero ive gotten to level 79, and only like 37 with dante I suck with him. and i will probally actually just give up. My question is why do they make you fight so many stupid blitzs i hate them so much. they just dont die.

Perverted_Pirate:
NG2 on Path of the Mentor...I lost a brave controller trying to do that.

Respect for even trying. Your controller has gone to controller Valhalla knowing the taste of glory.

Ridge Racer for the Playstation, You had to beat this black car that had better handling and acceleration than any of the other cars and had about double the top speed. On about my three hundredth try I'm on the home straight about a millisecond ahead of him when the dog gets tangled up in the cable of the controller. The Vet had never extracted a gamepad from a Cockerspaniel's arse before. I never played Ridge Racer again.

PS3fanboy:
Has there ever been a game in which you can't pass a part of it no matter how hard you try so you just stop playing it?
If so what game and what part?

Red Faction 2, right after the massive plot twist. Suddenly finding myself with no allies and everyone after me and being insulted at such a cheesy turnabout.

There's been a few times I've got stuck on other games and usually I just find a walkthrough on the net.

Ultrajoe:

MK-Smash:
Riku in the original Kingdom Hearts.

After about 90 tries, i said, "Screw it, Here." and handed the controller to my friend.
...
He beat it first try.

i almost quit here as well, i put the game away for almost a year before picking it up again and beating him down into a gristle pile.

I loved these games for their boss fights, on hard mode there are few games in which ive felt as much skill and finesse went into boss fights as the KH series.

What really pissed me off about that fight is that, in the guide, it says that it's easier than the battle with maleficent as a dragon, and that the battle with the dragon is the hardest in the game. I beat that battle without getting hit.

Also, when i got so pissed at Trauma Center: New Blood, i threw the controller so hard against the wall it broke into pieces. Haven't played it since.(those X missions are so fucking hard.)
