Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts was insanely difficult. I rarely ever had any armor higher than default, and anytime I got all the way up to golden armor it was always promptly broken right back off of me. The jumps killed me the most. I could time the single jumps just fine, but the double jumps murdered me left and right. Always had a ghost pop up at a bad time, or avoided the ghost only to fall down a hole. Sigh. One of the few games I never finished.
What has been the most frustrating game for you?

I love that game. I don't know if I ever really got frustrated by it as I entered it with expectations that it was going to be sheer lunacy, and it was.pantsoffdanceoff said:
Recently it was ironically, God of War 1 for me. I bought the collection on the PS3. While I don't think anyone would ever consider it a hard game there were a few parts that drove me insane.
1) the "spike room". You pull a lever and have to move a box to a location before spikes come out of the floor, killing you. I must have attempted this like 20 times - not because I couldn't get the box to the location, but because it had to be an in INCREDIBLY specific spot to BARELY be able to make the double jump (which you also had to do perfectly) to get to the ledge. It was uncharacteristic of the game.
2) The final (and I mean final) boss battle. The second time you fight Aries. It was just hard, so hard I had all his moves memorized and was dictating outloud what he was going to do before he did it - but there wasn't balls all I could do about it. He has 2 unblockable moves, 1 is the real kicker. It's a fast punch, you can't block, counter or dodge it. It's a punch though so it has short range. However, it stuns you. After the punch, he just fucking unloads on you - nearly killing you and almost bringing him to full health.
It was just a pain in the ass.
Homeworld 2. That game was just completely difficult. Coupled with my paranoid angst of losing as much as a single ship, this game just stopped me halfway through.
I had to grind /constantly/. Still do since I haven't beaten the damn game yet.Sentox6 said:Really? I'm not massive JRPG fan (my 'recent' pile of games includes only LO and Tales of Vesperia), but I thought the bosses were great. They really rewarded finding the right strategies, and you didn't have to grind levels to make them easy.Xanadeas said:
I can remember getting rather angry at a few drag races in NFS Underground. Must have retried one of them about 30 times trying to get through traffic
Really? Even if it's not normally your style, you might want to consider checking out GameFAQs or the equivalent for some strategies/play tips. LO is really not a game where you have to grind, except perhaps for the Seeker DLC. If you find yourself having to grind to progress, then something is likely going wrong tactically. Not trying to criticise or act superior, it just seems you could be having more fun with the game.Xanadeas said:
Alot of the games people have posted as hard, really aren't(save for i wanna be the guy)
Ninja Gaiden 1(xbox) and 2(xbox360) arent hard until you get to mentor where it becomes pure tactics and charge attacks,
mine has probably got to be either mages in Dragon Age - they are stupidly good
or
Mile High Club Veteran - its just random, you can just do the same thing over and over but sometimes you will live and others die
