Well I don't think you get much harder than Ninja Gaiden: Black. I am going with the final boss run on that, try it on hard. Wow. I tried close to 50 times but couldn't get past the final guy as I was always out of health.

ah I love concerned. "hey I hear he has a hovercar!"Anarchemitis said:Diving headlong into the Ravenholm Headcrab cave and slaughtering every single one of the suckers without such as a scratch. Admittedly thought, I use "host_timescale 0.1"
But it was fun anyways. And Ravenholm for me is always the most intense level, because I tend to sprint all the way through it to avoid them fast ones and miss the poison zombies. And the snipers are easy to dodge if you keep moving.
Impossible situations....hmmm...no I can't think of any most games are pretty realistic...
do you think that "Mr. Rowland" (it's been such a long tiiime!) really sees 3 little squares pop up in the upper left corner of his vision everytime he throws a knife at someones face?
I'm just gonna say that Veteran is a pain... it took me 2 days to get Mile High Club on Veteran! Though, I've finished all of the game on Veteran now.
For the KH2 battle, the 100 heartless thing was a bloody joke. All you had to do was hammer the triangle button.
As for my 'impossible moment', it was trying to get 'zombie chopper' (playing throughout Ravenholm only using the Gravity Gun). It was hard, but do-able, until I got to the bit where I had to wait for the pulley to escort you to Father Gregori. Thing was, I didn't have anything to kill the zombies with, so I had to run around in a circle attempting to dodge the fast zombies... ugh, that was such a pain. I think it was all luck...

TV station on COD4 is a ball ache until you realise that you can spam your 3 nades into where they are going to come from and then rush past the bodies to stop more spawning.
On one shot one kill, you can leave Price to do whatever he wants and go and hide behind the building furthest away from him.

Sephiroth in KH1 .. I don't remember even laying in a hit before he killed me in one shot. KH2 Sephiroth I faced on Proud Mode and tried .. no joke, close to 30 times to kill him (these were mostly short tries, mind you, because I would screw up somewhere and he'd make me pay for it) I DID manage to beat KH2 Sephiroth, though. Had to get Sora up to level 90 though and max out most of my drive forms.
Um .. the ultimate boss at the top of Pork City in the Another Day chapter of TWEWY on Hard or Ultimate. Just ... gah. GAH.

through the fire and flames on guitar hero III expert level. nuff said
its like trying to blow away 50 bricks falling on you

C + C Generals, this Chinese mission on the hardest level where you have to take a town and the GLA are just constantly sending wave after wave at you, never relenting, and then just when you've got on your feet, Scud Storm! Then more waves. Then you have no resources.
I concur with the last part of Half Life 2.
For me, though? Metal Gear Solid's torture sequence. The original one, for the PSX. You can just submit any time, but for the love of god, it is the only thing that deterimines whether you get the good ending, and I *cannot* mash buttons fast enough to win. I hate button mashing sequences, and to this day, I still can't beat it.

It's not impossible, since I completed it, but one of the toughest missions I've faced was in Great Battles of WWII: Stalingrad, there's a mission called Collective Farm where you must defend a small farm and village that you captured in the preceding mission from an onslaught of German tanks and infantry. The amount of carnage is insane, obviously it's an incredibly fun mission for the same reasons.
Here's a screenshot I took of a small area of the level:

Anyone attempting to get a 3 star rating on Mario Kart DS/Wii, I tell ya its bloody impossible! You have to make every boost, take every corner perfectly and go through every race hoping that the AI doesnt pummel you with red/blue shells, lightning strikes, which are inevitable.
I remember the game Guist making me very angry some time ago, but if memory surves I tried the game at four in the morning after an anime marathon with a friend so my brain was probably already a rotting mass with no ability for gaming.
Aside from that almost any first person shooters gets me because I tend to play more games that let you see your character, I.E third person camera. Bioshock is an exception but I play it on easy so its to be expected. Most challanges in gaming I encountered when I started at the age of 8 beside my 12 year old brother manning Floyd in Jet Force Gemini, which he only let me do so I wouldn't whine about my stalled quest in Zelda.
Almost any game requiring a sence of aim poses a challange to me because I've already proven, again on Bioshock, that I have some sort of ability to shoot a rainbow of bullets around a baddie's head at point blank range before killing them by hitting them in the kneecaps somehow while aiming for their head.

Yeah...that was the easiest level, besides the skateboarding Roxas missions at the beginning. I cranked up the difficulty expecting to be slaughtered like one would in Call of Duty, but I was instead rewarded with a laughably easy slaughter-fest, in which I was the slaughterer. In fact, I don't recall even getting hit by one of those dumbass heartless. It was just "fly, strike, rinse and repeat" for me.Isaac Dodgson said:
Dark Reign (first one), the final level. (Dark Reign being an RTS that never sold too well, which is a shame because I loved it dearly)
There's a massive final battle, and you have two enemy factions: the Imperium and the Freedom Guard. They each have a gigantic base in the Southwest and Northeast corners of the map, respectively. Biggest RTS bases I've ever seen, and they are constantly going at it. The Freedom Guard are protecting a defensive matrix stopping the planet (your homeworld) from getting destroyed from orbit. You start with just a starter base and 500000 resources (a lot), but no fresh water springs (water being the game's resource).
To win, you have to eliminate both sides. If you take too long in doing this, the Imperium will eventually overrun the Freedom Guard base, take down the Matrix, and the planet gets destroyed. Attack them, and they start to get angry with YOU, diverting their forces towards your tiny base. Actually succeeding in your attack means that the Freedom Guard is less hard-pressed, and then goes on to attack you. You have to carefully whittle down both sides, and secure resources for yourself (there's ONE outlying water spring, but taking it weakens the Freedom Guard even more), and finally wipe them both off the map.
This mission took me a LOT of tries.

Part way through a mission, a long time away from the last checkpoint, quick saving and then immediately dying. Then follows a long cycle of reload-die, reload-die, reload-die etc. Happened to me several times on CoD, and happened when I was inside a building as it got destroyed on HL2: EP2.
