Empyrea (sp?) on Dragon Quest VIII.
I was really enjoying the game beforehand but beating it just seems impossible. Unlike the last two bosses who had a defined strategy she just seems random.

Trying to play any of the RC vehicle missions in GTA: San Andreas on PC damn near made me quit. The controls were completely broken, and there were no prompts or anything.

Final Fantasy IX. I got to a part where I leveled up Dagger, Zidane, Steiner and Vivi as they would be most useful. Now they are all level 38-42. Then I save and get to a part where 30 minutes of dialogue happens with no saves in between and then a fight. I can't use any of the characters I leveled up so now I have to load my last save, grind for 10 fucking levels and go through all that dialogue and stuff again. :mad:

In Lost Odyssey I currently need to level up my mages. Normally this would be fine but I need them in order to defeat my enemies, which have very high physical resistance. Of course they happen to have an "All Seal" spell which makes my mages literally useless in battle and impossible to win a fucking fight!

I hate JRPGs sometimes.

That mortar section in the Bad Company 2 campaign is pretty damn unfair.

Nothing ever made me rage as bad as this though:

I got the Secret Armoury of General Knoxx DLC for Borderlands, and it's so difficult I haven't been able to get through it at all. All of the enemies are advanced Crimson Lance mercs that are a higher level than me, and during one encounter with that ninja miniboss at the very beginning I was killed so many times the boss unspawned, and one of the main plot threads never started, so I think I broke it.

Saints row 2. The ronin mission where you bury the bosses kid. You have to race around on motorbikes while cars try to run you off the road.
All the while trying to shoot the kid off his bike. It was also raining when I did it.
I stoped playing that game for a week. Damn motorbikes.
jump in the car to the right and run his ass over, thats what I did.

The Star Destroyer bit on TFU. Don't get me wrong, it was epic and completely unexpected for me, but Jesus fucking Christ...

It involves a Star Destroyer and a broken controller.

Fuck you TFU, Fuck you.
You broke your controller because of it?!

All you have to do is jump and zap the TIE fighters, then pull it a bit, rinse and repeat. It's not fun but it's not difficult.

Radec in Killzone 2.

The fight isn't that bad, but I was trying to do it on veteran and it became sweat-inducingly frustrating. I eventually turned down the difficulty and selling the game.

Any game where I fail and have to redo a part more than a couple of times. I cant take doing the same thing over and over.

Picked up RE5. Played it for 2 minutes.

Remembered what RE4 felt like.


Haven't touched it since. Thank god it's my roommate's copy. I'd be PO'd if I actually spent money on that POS.

The camera for the TIE Fighter bit was horrendous, and for me meant that the SD had nearly re-aligned by the time I was finished. And while actually bringing it down, my game just never seemed happy, making me waste time tweaking my thumbsticks millimeters until it judged it perfect. It was just frustrating, but, true, not particularly challenging. Come to think of it, maybe that's why it was so frustrating: it was something that I should've been able to do with considerable ease.
That's fair I guess.

They should have made it how it was shown in the trailers; quick and with relative ease, and no TIE fighters.

Velvet Assassin. That game is fucking impossible. The game is pretty terrible, though, so I don't really want to play it anyway. I thought it would be like, a BADASS STEALTH GAME, like Thief and (the old) Splinter Cell. But like, it's not.

Like i still have to beat the Star Ocean 2nd star story but thats about it for bosses i have fought and yet to beat.
Open up with Claude using Helmetbreaker to interrupt him casting those purple rings, then switch to Chisato and have her use tear gas to pin him against a wall, then keep using tear gas over and over and over. If it works, he won't even be able to go into his second form. It's the only way i can beat him without being, like, level 180. Pretty much if he goes into his second form or casts a bunch of those purple rings you already died.

FAcing radec on hardest difficulty (beat it :)

Resident Evil 5 I beat the mission the OP is speaking of but with my brother and after 50 tries on veteran (don't worry you'll finish it)

Golden Sun fighting those towo guys then they turn into a fucking Dragon with double the power, hp etc.. and you have to fight them with practically no hp.

Halo:CE libraby level on Legendary was fucking easy. My bro and I finshed that and only both died about 4x.

The biggest game ending moments for me are playing the last level of God of War (vs hundrerds of yourselves) or even attempting to play Lost Planet on Extreme (LP almost made me cry)

{EDIT} The most HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD WAS PLAYING THE CHALLENGE OF THE GODS IN GOW LEVEL 8

Dagra Dai in Ninja Gaiden 2.

Cheap is a poor way to describe him, but I don't think there's another word for this. Every attack of him stuns, does a lot of damage, is nearly impossible to dodge and hits multiple times. During the fight two powerful enemies constantly respawn, throw fireballs at you and mess with the targeting. Healing items are extremely limited, with six healing items(three large and three small) that could have been used in the enemy-filled hallway before the boss fight, an area that guarantees health loss so you won't even start the fight with full health or healing items. Dagra Dai himself hovers above the ground in a game with very limited aerial attacks and whenever he's on the ground he's constantly attacking. Oh, and he's a three-stage boss fight where the final form had the most reasonable way of dodging a very powerful attack patched out.

I always found that stupid fucking box room with the floor spikes to be a million times worse.

Are you talking about the the room with hudreds of herpies, the archers and such with the conveyor belt that pulls you towards grinders. Near end of the game to. Come to think of it I think the developers were trying to make the game unbeattable so that they had time to make GOW 2 lol.

Whenever I'm playing something where I work so hard for all my stuff and then just have a string of bad luck and lose it all. That's the end for me. I can never manage to get past that.

I was thinking of just playing till level 255 lol.
Honestly, that is actually easier, though you don't need 255 exactly, just enough to have been Gabriel Celeste and grabbed all the stuff from that area including the speed increasing superboots.

Edit: Replicate 20 exp cards and go to the bottom floor and use one every time you run into the guy that looks like the giant robot boss from the fields and one of the floors of that dungeon for quick levels, not sure if there's anything faster. I guess technically Iseria Queen gives 2 million exp with an exp card, but that fight isn't exactly a walk in the park.
