Hardest Moment in Gaming that you have managed?

[CthulhuMessiah]

I Wanna Be the Guy on Very Hard.

It took a few months, but I did it.

 

[Telemachus]

finishing "Through the Fire and the Flames" in Guitar Hero III.

 

[tehroc]

A single hand to hand soldier in Fallout Tactics. I got the single character fairly far until the enemies started wielding Browning .50 cal (somewhere around mission 8 or 9 I think). There was an extreme amount of savescumming.

 

[liveslowdiefast]

The Final challenge in VVVVVV , god damn it, that room is a ***** you gotta be pixel perfect.

 

[Captain Epic]

reaching Black ops zombies lvl 76. My fucking god that got repetetive after a while.

FUCK! That must have taken, like, 10 hours. I would get sooooooo bored at that point.

 

[Rawne1980]

Said it before but I got so happy with myself for doing it I literally danced around my house for 2 hours while my wife looked at me like I was insane.

I finished Devil May Cry on Dante Must Die mode without dying.

 

[BlueKunai]

The three "I Wanna Be The Guy" themed levels in Super Meat Boy. NEVER. AGAIN.

 

[Muphin_Mann]

I submit a little known xbox game called Phantom Crash (exclusive, with an exclusivly playstation sequal, for osme reason) and its final boss. SNOW WHITE

 

[Tiscolfo]

playing soul caliber 2 for the first time when i was little, and I saw a skirt fly up and damn my willy and just wow.. very hard indeed

 

[Mundjra95]

Beating Black Ops on veteran. I did it... but that's a large chunk of time wasted. It would've been alright if the checkpoints were good, buuuuuutttt noooooooo!

 

[Dr. Crawver]

final fantasy 12

Omega MKXII. battle took me 3 days (not 72 hours, just the consol was not switched off for that long) and OH MY FUCKING GOD the number of times my healer was berserked was frustrating as hell

 

[v3n0mat3]

Getting to level 2 in Ikaruga

God of War 2/3/Chains of Olympus gauntlet missions. Shit will kick your ass.

Beat Mile High Club - Hard mode (first try!) Veteran mode achievement? Gave up. I'm serious.

Getting Altair's costume in Metal Gear Solid 4 LEGITIMATELY.

Beat Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Dreamcast) adventure mode with Ryu. The final boss gauntlet (JUNI AND JULI AT THE SAME TIME>M. BISON) was nucking futs!!

 

[MattyDienhoff]

One of the final missions in Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, called "Search & Destroy".

The goal is to destroy a heavily defended SCUD launcher before it can launch a nuclear missile. You can call in air support, but the enemy has AAA which shoots it down. You can call in tanks, but there are far too many enemy units for them to deal with. I had to try at least ten times and I only eventually succeeded because a friendly helicopter supporting me crash landed on the target, blowing it up...

 

[ShakyFiend]

I just completed the first proper boss on Darks Soul's, been in the Undead Burg for 3 hours of game time so far, and counting

 

[StrixMaxima]

Finishing Ghost and Goblins for real on the Arcade. Yeah, both runs. With a single coin.

I felt like a god, people were screaming at the arcade. Good times.

 

[CJ1145]

The Fucking Star Destroyer.

You ALL know what I'm talking about.

 

[edhop]

Dunjunz on the Acorn Electron in 4 player mode with my 2 brothers and 1 sister. The hardest bit is getting 4 sets of hands on one keyboard.

 

[Dango]

Getting to level 2 in Ikaruga

I was considering saying that I'd beat the first level on hard without loosing any lives, but I guess that'd be kind of silly now...

OT: Beating all the songs in Rock Band 2 on expert drums.

 

[FirmlyUninformative]

It's not much, but I managed to be the Touhou game "Imperishable Night" without using a continue on easy mode... T_T

It impressed all of my friends, but I can't do it on normal and I think that Imperishable Night is the easiest in the series.

I'm curious: what exactly makes you say that? I've heard the same thing said before, and I can't fathom why. I've completed the previous two games (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil & Perfect Cherry Blossom) on normal without continuing and still haven't done the same with IN- the difficulty in general just seems like a deliberate step up overall. In particular, neither of the former games' stage 3 bosses hold a candle to Keine, and while stage 4 traditionally comes with something of a difficulty spike, absolutely nothing could have prepared me for Reimu.

OT: the aforementioned runs of Touhou 6 & 7. If I had to choose one, I guess I'd say 7- I'm still not sure whether or not it was a fluke.

 

[Nuuu]

Beating Super Monkey Ball 2.

I bought that game when i was probably around 6 or 8. Didn't beat it until i was 14. That game's story mode is HARD! Mainly got stuck on the whale level.
