Eldritch Warlord:
Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet. In the supposed "feat of strength" against Musclefoot, which is required to advance the game.

What it is is rapidly tapping a button to push and enemy into a pit. I just could not beat him.

I believe it was due to a hardware problem as I passed the test before when I rented the game. It certainly wasn't me because I can tap faster than the console can register.

Oh my god

I WASN'T the only one.

seriously?...
that wasn't anywhere near a hard part in the game.
I think my time for beating him was like..5 seconds or something.
and that's when I was a youngster.
I've never beaten any of the splinter cell games.
I HATE stealth, and those games just bored me having to restart every 5 minutes cause I triggered an alarm.

Not trying to brag or anything but I've beaten all the levels on the hardest level 100%

What are you doing wrong?

Oh, that was a horrible experience. I then got mad, gave the controller to my dad, who never plays games and he beat it on the first try! =(

I later learned if you move a pen back and forth between the Y aand X buttons and to the other side of the A button it's incredibly easy. Try that.

i rembered anthor one there was a pc game for the phantom menece that i had i got all the way to the duel with darth maul and there was a a jumping puzzule at the end i couldnt pass it annoyed me to no end. the worse part was i really liked the game up until then.

the final boss on maga man x, ive tried many times over the years and he still vexes me. it's really the only game that ive wanted to beat that i havent been able too

I have had more than a few of those moments, where to start?

my least favorite was the battle with slash in GH3, after about the millionth defeat, the game insulted me and asked if I wanted to skip it, I put the game down after that and never picked it back up.

It would'nt have been nearly as bad if the game didd'nt call me a peon and said I needed a hug

Skrew you GH3

The last level of Black on Hard. Jeez is that a long, difficult level. How many guys with RPGs can be in one building? And not just one building, one room? I'm telling you, those were very well armed terrorists. Why didn't they just buy the world, rather than try to take it by force?
Needless to say, I never finished it. But maybe I'll go and have another go at it now.

Super Mario World

... fucking koopas loopas...

First thing that comes to mind is the last boss in Killzone: Liberation (with the downloadable fourth act, that is). What a bitch.

What else?

The last boss in Mechassault 2 is not only obscenely hard in comparison to the rest of the game, but is also just fucking ridiculous. I mean, I always thought Battletech was supposed to be really gritty and relatively believable.... then... OMGWTF 9000 TON ATLAS WITH LASER EYE BEAMS!?

The very first part of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within... shitty gameplay is shiiiitty....

The end of the second to last level in Far Cry Instincts is absolutely sadistic. No other escort mission compares to its controller-shatteringly infuriating difficulty, at least none that I've played.

The mission where you race the fat guy in GTA:VC. I just used cheats, and even then it was hard. This is actually the reason I will never buy a GTA game for PC again.

Ah, last Alien level in AvP2. Can't forget that. It's hard enough to fight one Predator with magical plasma bolts than feel like they can outmanuever a hummingbird on crystal meth, but two, in an open space? Fuck you, devs.

wizpig. you know i'm right.

ComradeJim270:

I'll still buy them but that was ridiculously hard. I set up an obstacle course of burning wrecks, shot his back tyre out and he STILL beat me round the course, time and time again.

The thing is... GTA with a keyboard just sucks. Yes, you can aim with a mouse, which is nice, but you have to drive like an old woman who has forgotten that the gas pedal does not have to be pressed all the way to the floor to make the car go. I buy all my GTA games on consoles now.

osaka35:
wizpig. you know i'm right.

Sadly, I know just how right you are. Especially the second time through. Freaking impossible. Never did beat him.

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, in the 3rd boss fight. I never could beat Fluffy after burning all the fur off. Went back a year later and tried it again, and beat it first try.

Also, Onimusha: Warlords, once you're in the wall puzzle area with Kaede. I messed up somewhere and got lost on my best save file. I walked off and didn't touch it for 3 months.

one of my mates, not my moment

playing dragonquest 8 on his PS3, came up against the octopus (i beleive it spoke like 10 different languages?) with his character and Yann or whoever your companion is on that game.

he trained for ages and ages, but every time he attacked this thing he got wiped out, pretty simply because he was hitting max 9's, Yann was hitting max 7's, and this squid was hitting up to about 15's. Being a single player game, i sat back and watched, read the manual etc.

About an hour later "Ah, f*** this, I can't be a*sed, you want a go?". I take up the controller and I do something that in the weeks of attacking this thing, he hasn't thought of.

Instead of hitting attack, I hit phsyche. I get both characters to phyche for 5 moves, during which time they lose around 45 hp. My mate's sitting at the side saying "What the hell are you doing?!?!". I click attack, and immediately do 245hp for his character, and 322hp for Yann, killing the octopus immediatly. Never have I felt so relieved for something like that paying off. It earnt me the rank of "the strategist" amongst my mates. It was always me who co-ordinated attacks on those few months on wow, always me who they came to when they couln't beat stuff outright. yeah, good times

Cool subject, brings back a lot of memories. Horrible, frustrating, pull your hair out and crush a controler memories, but memories none the less. Let's see...

1. A real old spiderman game, don't remmber the name, the life bar was a picture of spidey turning into a skeleton, got to a level after the sewer and then got insanely stuck.
2. Rayman 2, the level with all the pencils. Talk about insane platforming, I swear to god there were jumps there where you had to hit a fucking pixel.
3. Privater 2, not becuse it was hard, but becuase every fucking mission was an escort mission. I shit you not, every mission! After a couple of days it was like "well, screw this"
4. Tetris :)
5. Another world, the part after you drop the chandelier, and guards are coming at you from both direction, could never figure that one out. ( this one bugs me to this day, it was such an awesome game then, and it still looks cool today)

Yeah, thats all I can think of now. This is fun, I'll add more stuff if I remmber more.

try using stun granades it worked for me

ElArabDeMagnifico:
Act 3 MGS4 "The Boss Extreme" non-lethal, no continues, no recovery items used (except Syringe) - no alerts.

That motorbike ride, auto-aim, and the MK .22 - GAH, it's like you have to unlock the solar gun before you play on this mode, otherwise you are just plain FUCKED.

try using stun granades they worked for me

lol I was looking at that and thinking "there are stun grenades in DQ8?"

Ugh when you have to escort that dumb shit Doyle in Farcry: Instincts or the final boss: Crowe
And pretty much all of Assasin's Creed, That one just frustrated me beyond belief.

JOE COOL:

Shadow Tyrant:

the monopoly guy:
The last level of Hl2:2...I still can't beat it...

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that game. I'm stuck on an earlier mission, though.

On the last wave just let them come to you, take out the hunters, and blow the snot out of the onslaught.

I would spoil the ending, but i'm not one to do that.

Use the logs (chucked by grav. gun) to kill the hunters, they can take them down in 2-3 hits.

FFVII went on holiday came back Ps2 reformatted memory card - you have no data
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also cod4's epilougue cant get past the stairs without taking too long

One of the Events in SSBM, (Hard difficulty) I tried like 50 times, then my friend was like, "Here, let me try," so I gave him the controller and he beat it first try. I was like, "Fuck... you..." It's weird, because I always beat him in multiplayer...

Gitsnik:

That and the Zeus sequence in God of War II was painful.

tuglowz:

Yeah it ended up hurting me more than everyone else lol... thanks though. I ended up getting lucky and I got past it.
