DOA, the one on the 360. Just could not get the timing down to reverse moves, and that game 99% depends on it. Quit that game, maybe only game that i have ever quit.
The game that took your frustration virginity

That game is ridicously hard with the later bosses. WHY CAN I ONLY USE ONE SPELL?Nouw said:
OT: Hexen and Heretic on harder difficulty levels. I don't know why, but I just get cut down repeatedly. Doom I do fine on, but Heretic?
Death.
I can't remember the first, i've been gaming for over 20 years, but ill give you some of my more recent.
All the call of duty series on veteran. Cod 3, that bit where you have to sneak up a stream while there are 3 gun nests at the top. one guy always got stuck behind a bush where you couldn't see him but he could always head shot me from anywhere...shit man, that bit took me 3 months to get past ROAR! World at war, that god damn fox hole level where you move anywhere and you die, that really pissed me off. The Benezia fight on mass effect on insanity difficulty...3 hours to beat a boss you can meet after 3 hours of gameplay...really frustrating. Stranglehold on hard boiled...the boss fights were just ridiculous and that part where you have to save the band, sheesh. Ninja gaiden 2 on the hardest setting lol! The visions song on rock band 2...it took me 2 years to actually complete it
The final boss on final fantasy 13 pissed me off so much i didn't go back and finish all the side quests afterwards...it went straight back once he died. The second boss on force unleashed on hardest setting was also just a straight cheating bastard!
Def jam on the ps 2...i actually snapped my pad in half trying to finish the game without losing a fight! Fury!
All this said, when i finally got past all these challenges it was the best feeling ever!

Goldeneye 007. The Control mission where you defend Natalya on the computer from waves of enemies. I just couldn't beat it. I tried dozens and dozens of times... got frustrated and quit. Several months later I came back to it... beat it in 1 or 2 tries and then went on to beat the game.
Mortal Combat. Only way i could beat it was with the 99 lives cheat, and even then i'd sometimes run out of lives.
Mega Man 3. It was the first game that i played religiously, struggled hard to beat all the robot masters, finally downed the last one (Magnet Man) and anxiously awaited storming Wily's fortress, only to find out I had to beat all the robot masters from Mega Man 2 as well. Pretty sure that was my first documented case of nerd rage.
Ah, memories...
Ah, memories...
About seven years ago (back when I was kinda shit at shooters)... Halo 3, Cortana, Heroic difficulty. Up until this point, I'd usually had enough sense to stop playing a game when it was making me mad, but I'd already fought tooth and nail for the progress I'd made and wanted to see it through to the very end. Near the end of the level, where you can't move five feet without getting pincushioned to death, was the first time I'd ever involuntarily shouted at a game. I remember it vividly because I was quite surprised at how much frustration and aggression I could cram into a single, staccato "FUCK".
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. Yet I have remained frustration celibate since. That said, COD WAW's mission Heart of the Reich on veteran is the most difficult thing I've ever completed in any game, but the feeling of accomplishment afterwards makes me remember it fondly, rather than remembering the frustration.
Honestly? Mass Effect, fighting Matriarch Benezia on the hardest difficulty, I don't know why but I got stuck on that for like three months, got annoyed to the point where I traded in Mass Effect... Bought it again a year later and completed it first try...
