The Official "This game is too Hard" Thread

3 games this gen I gave up on because the frustration got to be too much:

Half-Life 2 (PS3): - which is weird, because I found Portal challenging but doable and I am usually able to beat FPS games on Normal.

Patapon and Puzzle Quest (PSP) - about 1/3 of the way through on each I just hit a wall; my frustration was greater than the fun I was having with the games and I just stopped playing them
 
Rock Band used to piss me off until I was able to train my pinky to hit the orange button. I still have a tough time with solos on expert.
 
[quote name='Blackout']I always have problems with Geometry Wars Evolved and Galaga Legions. I have them on my 360 and I never get very far in them. I'm thinking about going back to 200/200 them since I haven't put to much time into them, but they always kill me. For some reason my high score never saves in GW. When I exited the game, go play something else, then return to it later on, the score is never there. It goes back to 10k. Is it supposed to be like that?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, the high score resets on GW1. It stays recorded on the leaderboard though. I spent a long time getting 200/200 on GW1. It helps that I really enjoy the game.
 
I don't think I've ever been more frustrated by a game in my life than with Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Awesome game (probably one of my all-time favorites in the action genre), but it was damn aggravating.

Also, not necessarily the entire game of MGS4, but I don't even see how its possible to get the Big Boss medal (Beating the game on The Boss Extreme in under 5 hours without killing anyone and without dying.)
 
[quote name='The Crotch']And that I can't beat Magma Man without mah tornadoes.[/QUOTE]
the pattern i figured out was to stand next to him on a certain platform. he'll jump and fire his magma gun, and you walk under and peg him with mega buster. sometimes he'll jump a centimeter and you need to react but other then that it's good.
 
Gears of War 2 on insane only because it shows how atrocious the partner AI is. They just run into a room full of Locust and get shot down and then you gotta save their ass or you have to restart. I Understand there's co-op, but any part where you have to "split up" makes it total bullshit because always stuck with the dumbass AI.

Other then that, Bionic Commando: Rearmed gave me some loud cursing moments. Ninja Gaiden 2 I'm still stuck on that subway boss who shoots kamikaze sperm at you.
 
[quote name='saturnotaku']I liked that pack. It was hard, but the solutions were real headslappers (as in "Duh, why didn't I see it earlier?")[/QUOTE]
That's puzzle games for you! And I liked it as well.

On a semi-related note, I'm currently near the end of Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament for the GBA. It's not the hardest game I've ever played, but it is surprisingly difficult for a Klonoa one. It's good, too.

True, but you don't get a game over if Cole/Baird dies, unlike playing solo and having Dom do something stupid and have to start over. So that didn't bother me much.

I just did Gears 1 & 2 on casual for single player and didn't get too annoyed, and did both games on Hardcore and Insane in local co-op with the same friend. Gears 1 was a bitch in places, but Gears 2 we really didn't have to many sticking points that took a while to get past compared to the first game.
 
Stoked is pretty frustrating, but I think that has more to do with the controls.

I just started my Gears 1 Hardcore campaign. I made it through Act 1 without any major problems.

Try insane difficulty.
 
Recent game I played that is hard was Stranglehold on Hard-Boiled. Stuck on the Casino level where you can't let the band die, but the last one with the slot machines and stuff, that level pissed me off to no end.
