We all have played games where sometimes you just feel like throwing your controller into the drywall in frustration because of how difficult it is. This is the thread to share those games.

For me it would have to be Homeworld 2. The Thaddis Sabbah mission was just near impossible. Shinobi would be a close second.

Beatmania IIDX, Ghosts 'N Goblins and Ikaruga (still waiting on an affordable copy of Radiant Silvergun, but it is known as a harder game).

Well we're going to get the same responses as always, but as far as being frustrated, and throing my controller. Some of the higher leveled enemies in that extra mode of Tekken 5 DR is pretty hard They get you in combos and don't even let you hit the ground, so you can't get back up

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and TLoZ: Majora's Mask were both very challenging games that I was still able to finish.

Far Cry 1 on PC. Damn insane. Monsters kill you in 2 hits. I've had for a year and am 70% done. Plus I playd on easy, which is the disturbing bit. (I've beat lots of games on hardest difficulty.

Devil May Cry 3 is pretty hard IMO

If we talk about old games, Ninja Gaiden 2 in the NES and Contra III were my personal headeaches.

For the N64, it has to be F-Zero.

Ikaruga, DMC3, Ninja Gaiden And yet I love the fact they're so challenging. I think I'm some kind of masochist. I love it when a game is challenging as hell :?

Excluding dumb ones like IWTBTG, Mega Man 2 or 3. Metroid Prime 2 was also really frustrating, which is why I still haven't finished it.

NG for nes was the cheapest game I ever played. You can call it difficult I call what it did super cheap. NGS for PS3 made me want to commit suicide.

I'm actually stuck at the Boost Guardian (or actually a bit before it since I accidentally wiped my data and had to start over again).

Yeah the Boost Guardian's a bit of a jerk too. Its stupid easy once you get the timing down right though. Seriously once I figured it out I didn't get hit once during the whole battle. Its just annoying until you get it down.

f zero gx storymode on hardhabkeinbock
It took me forever to complete that. I'm going with NG2 on Master Ninja. Unlike games like Ikaruga and DMC, it's not based on patterns, and some enemies move from the extremely difficult range to the cheap range (Alexei's constant grabbing, Werewolves throwing body parts from off screen, the huge bone boss come to mind).

I'm not really sure, but I'd have to say probably Battle Toads for my Genesis. This was one of the first games I ever bought and after all the years I owned it, I never was able to get past the brain level with the hover bikes.

Ninja Gaiden black.

For some strange reason I found Ninja gaiden 2 to be easier...at least on the normal mode. I won't even touch mentor. Friggin exploding shuriken ninjas everywhere :x

Shadow of The God-Damned Colossus. I got it as a gift, thought it was gonna be the schnazz, put it in, spent an hour or two at it and couldn't beat the first freaking enemy. I thought it was just bad luck, so I called a friend over a day later, who was better than me at these kind of games. He spent about half an hour at it without any victory over the godly bear of death and got irritated too, so we went and played something beatable instead. =/ That's the only game I've ever played where I couldn't get the first enemy's health below half-bar in my entire time playing it. XD

We talking about challenging difficult or frustrating difficult?

Challenging might be Final Fantasy Tactics (especially against Wiegraf in a lot of places or various other battles).

Frustrating would be Gears of War (1 and 2) on Insane. Especially the part heading to Landown shooting down the nemacysts. Or Street Fighter 2 fighting Bison, or Megaman 9 in its entirety.
