"This **** will not beat me."

My first playthrough of Demon's Souls. After Phalanx, Tower Knight and Armor Spider I went after Flamelurker and got my ass handed to me a dozen times. I thought: "This isn't over yet! I'll be back!"
And that gave me a good reason to come back to the game. I went to some other areas, killed some more bosses and when I came back to Flamelurker, I stomped him into the ground.

If I feel like I can have a good time with it I'll play the hard settings, otherwise I don't care.
That being said I refused to give in while playing Bulletwitch or Gears of War 1 on Hell/Insane respectively.

Inb4 Water temple in Ocarina of Time
For me it was the Cellar Demon in Dark Souls. Hadn't noticed him on the first play through and when I went back to the prison I died like 40 times. But I kept at it thinking exactly that, "this **** will not beat me"

Most recently, DOTA2. I'm a long time LoL player, but when I got my Beta invite it was like running straight into a brick wall lined with spikes. And the spikes are rusty so now I have tetanus as well...
But I stuck with it, found what works and what doesn't. Heck, I'm still finding it. But 70 games later, I'm sitting on a positive Win/Loss ratio and even when I lose a game, I'm usually not the main reason. Also, for some reason I can't seem to lose a game with Viper (8 wins, 0 losses).
All in all, it is satisfying and I can see myself get better at the game, I can see myself NOT making the same mistakes and can see how much better stuff turns out as a result.

Well, it was pretty much my ongoing mentality when I played WoW back in TBC (and somewhat in WotLK). Also happens in Battlefield 3 sometimes (though I haven't played it in a while, waiting for AK) when I get the short end of the stick team-wise, I go into "fuck you all" mode and try to up my gameplay as much as I can/create some opportunities and such.
Aside from that... dunno, from time to time in singleplayer games. Can't think of many examples off the top of my head, it's usually just certain points that you get through, but are annoying while you're just banging your head against the wall try after try as you keep failing.

Most recently it was one of the puzzles in ilomilo.
Took me a good hour to figure it out and a million resets, but I conquered that damned puzzle.
And then I began another one, cuz I secretly hate myself.

Zelda 2 - Adventures of Link.
That fucking game will not beat me, no matter how many XP eating enemies they throw at me and no matter how many times I have to repeat that final freaking Temple. I beat it though. I beat the Hell out of it! I didn't even have to rely on the corner-glitch for the entire Dark Link encounter.

Not long ago, I was interested in finding exactly which review that quote is from; it's one of my favourites. I thought it was from Too Human; but apparently not. I watched about 2 dozen vids looking for it.
Fighting Colonel Radec in Killzone 2. I died so many times that I thought it was a supposed to lose battle.
If he hadn't been the last boss I'd probably have stopped playing altogether.

I have trouble with most 2D action games and Guitar Hero.
I mean, I have trouble beating the first dungeon with the original Legend of Zelda, but accidentally stumbled into the Cave of Ordeals in Twilight Princess and beat it on my first try with relatively little issue.

*foam* I hate FPS gamepad control schemes and the device in general. It would take me a good 5 seconds just to aim at a guy and if he moved I'd have to start all over again, usually dieing a lot even on the easiest difficulty unless I was running around with just a shotgun. Then I bought my nifty little keyboard/mouse adapter and it feels just as smooth and right as if I were on a PC.ultrachicken said:
OT: Morrowind, right now. Not because its actually difficult, but I'm bound and determined to play all the way through that game before advancing to Oblivion and eventually Skyrim.
Speaking of the ads on the site right now, God of War had a few instances of this with me I believe. Darksiders too.
Resident Evil 4 on the hardest difficulty. Even the button mashing quick time events are sped up making them so incredibly difficult that it took me close to 45min to get past a simple "evade the boulder one".
PES 5 and 6 were a lot more bearable in 6 star difficulty than in 3 stars.jbm1986 said:
The "normal" difficulty had impossible defense lines, slower but more planned attacks and after you managed to survive a 0-0 tie for 89 minutes they would score and ruin your whole game.
It was frigging impossible on Normal.
