I can't remember a game ever making me quit out of frustration back in the day. I think it took until recently, The Darkness...just really didn't like that game at all...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - SoC, hiding in the grass, which is taller than me. Full health and everything, hear a group of people go by, thinking to myself I'll just wait till they go back. Didn't like the idea of wasting ammo, food and first aid equipment. Well it turns out the AI didn't like the fact i was going to let a encounter go by and decided to (In the words of my mate) "Fuck my shit up something fierce." Cue the entire group of bandits opening a can of bullets and whoop-ass on me. Dead within 5 seconds. At which point my smashed my first into the table, that was about the 10th time i died in that hour.
I'm giving the game another go, buying as many first-aid kits i can get my hands on.

First time I played it, hardened difficulty, took me 20-30 tries.Al-Bundy-da-G said:
Second play through, veteran difficulty, got the scheisskopf first time.
ba wha?
The first "f this" moment I've ever had? I don't know...I've had a lot since I started gaming at age six...Probably the original Rayman on PC. I love that game to death, and I've beaten it a couple times, but I remember getting it on CD-ROM back in...99? Quite a few years after it came out, but I was just getting into gaming then, and it was colorful and whatever.
That game was (and still is) HARD. Holy shit. I remember giving up on that game a few times, pounding on my keyboard, and just generally getting pissed off at it. I partially blame that on being young/new to gaming at that point.
The most recent moment? Either Super Meat Boy (FINALLY UNLOCKED THE KID!) or Call of Duty: Black Ops on Veteran. I generally liked the small part of the campaign I was able to beat, but the point when you have to run down the hill and kick over the barrels of napalm...on Veteran, with the infinitely respawning enemies with PERFECT GOD DAMN AIM...I literally broke a controller over that. No other CoD game, or any FPS in general has given me that much trouble on the hardest difficulty. Still haven't beaten that game. Never will.

I can't recall my first one, but the most recent one was I was playing Power Stone on the Dreamcast for the first time and I got to the final boss where I got my ass kicked repeatedly. Screw that nonsense. That guy's impossible. >:/
Also pretty recently I played the original Castlevania on the NES quite a lot, and after FINALLY struggling to get to "Death", I got killed pretty much instantly, and went "FINE! YOU WIN!" and shut off the game.

[a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claw_(video_game)]Claw[/a]. When I got to the 3rd boss, I simply could not beat him, no matter how much I tried. It was only years later that I found out how to beat him.
Gauntlet 4 on the Sega Genisis, made it to the final Dragon with my maxed out wizard.... Then the bastard began spewing every attack from all the other bosses in the game. I literally said "FUCK ME" & very quickly it was game over. Tried it about a dozen times, failed about a dozen times, haven't played it since.... Fuck That...
Not my proudest moment, but... In A Link to the Past on GBA, I got to where I had all the pendants and stuff (at least I think that was it), and then... I just couldn't figure out what to do. It was just... Argh. Especially when I went into that desert temple... thing, and couldn't figure out where the hell to go! So I quit. And I haven't touched much since.
Really? I mean it has been around five years since I last played it but I would always get stuck because the person piloting the X-Wing would boost all the way but the Millennium Falcon was just too big to slide through all those pipes and take all those twists and sharp turns. Maybe I'll try it again this upcoming holiday.Anthony Wells said:
There's a Mod for the PC version of KotOR that lets you begin the game as a Jedi Class. It makes Taris a LOT more reasonable, still annoying to get through, but not as much.putowtin said:
My first I can remember right now was Halo 3 multiplayer. I didn't get out of Boot Camp mode.
When Every Single Multiplayer game is supposed to be 4 player free for all, and I keep getting matched up with douchebags that brought 2 of their friends in with them...
First time was some obscure PS1 game called Spec-Ops. That game's map was so confusing that I could never get to the evac chopper on time at the end of each mission.
This also happens to me on many platformers like the Mario and LittleBigPlanet games.

Wow, 9 pages and nobody mentioned Wizpig? I can't be the only one that wanted to set the cart of fire after my 99th attempt.
I'd have to agree; Silver was a pain in the ass, but somehow...just SOMEHOW I managed to beat the fucker.ToastiestZombie said:
One of my most well remembered $#@! this moments (because Q-Bert censorship is funny) was in the same game, on the PS3, when I was in Crisis City Act II. One of the first things you do is jump off a ramp to catch onto a rail. Problem was, if this was Sonic Adventure 2, AKA a GOOD game, Sonic would catch onto the rail and continue the action. But no, this was the dreaded '06, and Sonic missed the rail to fall to his doom. I actually put the controller down to see if it was something I was doing, but no.
I gave up on that game. I have no idea HOW my brother beat all three stories AND the final boss.
Possibly Evrae in Final Fantasy X... My party was far too underlevelled. I managed to defeat him after 50 attempts (no exaggeration!), only to get slaughtered by the third band of soliders at Yuna's wedding. -_-
I resumed this game recently, however, and managed to finish it! I just had to grind for a few hours and the rest of the game was pretty easy. I defeated Yunalaska the second time (forgot about Megadeath...) and Jecht the first...

Ninja Gaiden 2 for the 360. I can handle games being hard, that's fine, but that game crossed the line in to the "cheap" territory. I managed to make it past the dude with a giant hammer that could insta-kill me if he hit me on an airship with his cronies hiding off in the shadows throwing exploding shurikens that still stuck and exploded even if you blocked them, all while my camera was giving me an exceptional view of a pillar... *sigh* ... but once the game took me to the Red Square to fight giant salamanders with swords for arms while a platoon of rocket-firing soldiers that can each launch a 4-shot salvo every 3 seconds from a quarter-mile away, I was done.
Don't make a sword-fighting ninja game and put me up against gun-toting and rocket launcher-weilding enemies. It's bull$&*t.

No idea of the FIRST game, because there have been many many.
One sticks out in my mind though, it's much more recent but it's easily the most petty and unreasonable.
In Zelda: Majora's Mask, there is a mini-game VERY early in the game that requires you to whack posts with your sword in a certain amount of time.
Couldn't do it. Kept trying. Came so close, but just could not do it. Usually when I try and fail and try and fail like that, it's because I think "okay, this next time I'll definitely get it", but not so in this case.
Finally I quit in disgust and never played Majora's Mask again.
Because of a stupid optional mini-game at the beginning.

MechWarrior 2; Wolf campaign, mission 3. For those of you who've played it, 'that one with the power converter.' More to the point though, it's that one where four summoners, each armed with PPCs (these were old PPCs where it stood for 'pulse plasma cannon' rather than 'particle projection cannon' - shots moved slow, one-shot anything that wasn't super-heavy), all come at you at once.
I could probably do it now, but I was about 7 at the time and things like 'mouse sensitivity' were a foreign concept to me so the torso-twist was completely unusable, which meant my only real option for combat was to stand there and trade shots with whatever I was up against, which doesn't work too well against 4 PPCs.
