FUCK this level.

This kind of isolated issue sounds more like a bug to be honest.
When Call of Duty had infinite enemies until you pushed forward. Me being a masochist played cod2 and 4 on veteran and let me tell you how much of a grind it was. cod 4 had some absolutely obscene levels and it was basically all luck. I remember the pain like on the ferris wheel level where you basically had to use this one specific hiding spot and wait for the chopper to pick you up and then not die when you ran out to it. God.
I tried WaW and fucked off after a certain point because it was just too much.

This was always tough for me because back then I didn't realize you could switch turtles mid-stage.........
FFXV Chapter 13. The launch version.
It was so excruciatingly painful and dull to play through, with extreme corridor design on top, and a hilariously bad "plot twist", that I genuinely wondered if it was a deliberate nod to FF13 for a while.
I feel like it was a reference to the FNC mythology hinting that a character among them was a L'cie.
And the turret section at the mining platform. Those two sections are always the worst in replays.
Either the Fade or Deep Road in Dragon Age Origins.
Sewer level in both Xenogears and Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines.

Haha, I still remember that fucking farm level in cod4 on veteran, where you had to push out into a field and then all the way back down, fighting infinite spawning grenade spammers the entire time.
That was fucking rough.
Never been angrier in my life doing something than during this. Think it took me like 2 hours to get past it. Only time I've literally wanted to like break my controller in half.Either:
y'know, it might just be me, but i would consider something you yourself refer to as the game's 'optimal strategy' to be exactly the same thing as something the game's combat system is specifically designed around. so, what are you saying? that you chose not to fully use the system as designed, & managed to complete the game, anyway? well, that's great, & i hope you enjoyed doing so...
Played this on the hardest difficulty...
took 300+ attempts to finally get this fucking guy down. Quit the game multiple times, almost uninstalled it when I found out that there was no achievement for beating the main story on the hardest difficulty. Fucking input reading Brainiac bullshit that can 2HKO you with his map attacks.

I remember it taking me probably a dozen attempts before I could kill them both. Not sure if it was worth it since I stuck with the Chikage and Battle Axe but it was fun to finally beat em.
The two Street Sharks in Bloodborne were anything but jawesome.
Though, fortunately, after like 20 failed attempts I admit I asked for help in the OT and some pointed to the item that helps. Funny enough, I came back to it way later in a different playthrough and had no issues at all.

I recently went through this DLC. Screw these things! I'd rather fight bosses than these, and they have what feels like a boss worth of HP. My skills aren't fantastic by any means, but when I go through areas in souls games I always keep trying and eventually make a very deliberate point to 100% clear the zones, for exploration and loot collecting if nothing else. That is, except when I found the well with these two in it. Nope nope nope. Why did I not previously think of the charm dagger for them? Thanks, thread!Mother. Fucking. SharkBros.
I too had to resort to asking for suggestions because honestly fuck these fucks to fucking death.
Actually that whole level is really quite rude. The random statues blasting your with magic from afar, the lightning magic snipers, and the frenzy-causing super brain mobs that are near the end for no apparent reason other than to screw with the player. Dammit I hate those things. Disgusting. And of course the troll job that you can use a freaking shield to prevent most of the magic damage.
man, those pitfall scorpions are iconic in how fuckin mean they were
oh my god haha, never knew that - yeah, that makes shit even worse. goddammit taito
i went for the platinum and weird shit on hard would trip you up - that one legged gal who fights you in the minefield was whatever on that & the wii version, on bitter it's ridiculous
woooo that's a popular dropping point, yeah...i wanna say i had a helper the first time through, it's been forever
you wanna know some real bullshit? dude with the spear can totally hit you through columns somehow. if you get his weapon & try that shit later, no dice
this is a good pick. that fight was needlessly frustrating because of the shit controls that stage had.
yeah this shit sucked cause it's trippy exposition and normally im down for that, but the small dark line you're given to walk on is such shit
nahhh it's been forever but when i debate a replay with the new translation & all, that's one of the parts i remember and go "nah"
fuck that whole area, i lost so much sleep trying to get through it

Mr. Tommasi took me 8-10 tries and was way harder than anything in the entire game. Mold-1 had four big rocks around the outside of the room. I took cover behind a big rock, blocking Mold's damage completely, stepped out and used launch on it, rinse and repeat. Took me 10 seconds on the first try.
Crazy how the developers made, you know, the rest of an entire game that 99% of people never got to see.
Gotta get that "value" into a relatively short game that people spent $120 in 2020 dollars on. #NintendoHard
This lovely stage in Megaman X6
Nowadays I can do it fine and even have fun with it, but this was a painful block for me as a kid without internet.
Then you have this lovely jump in the next stage if you use Shadow Armor.
I still don't hate X6 though for some reason 😂
Was that the start of the final level? I remember checkpoints being really generous as you got closer to the door, just brute forced that part. Infinite enemies sucked though. The arena fight before the final boss was worse for me.
Yeah, I know it can be cheesed. Kid me had no way of knowing it could be cheesed.
Just seeing a screenshot of this is enough to give me ptsd.
How 11 year old me managed to beat it without cheats or any help is a mystery to me, 40 year old me sure as hell can't.
Once upon a time, games absolutely did not give a fuck about your feelings.
I once knew a kid who punched his NES so hard that it broke apart.
Sonic Mania, the last Zone. I was having fun and then Titanic Monarch happened and I've still never beaten the game. Ugh.
It's such a rough fakeout, because the "lab" level is basically the worst part of every Resident Evil game, and after the mini-lab in the mines I really thought there wasn't going to be one in RE7. But, nope! We have to remind you that the last leg of our game is where we train the level design interns, apparently.
I hate this shit with burning passion. Whoever at BioWare thought this was fun must've been on some really serious crunch-induced hallucination. A level so bad someone took the time to create a mod to skip it, and it's the 4th most popular mod on Nexus. It's that bad.

As a kid, the snowboarding sections in Mega Man 8 were just awful. You do not have much time to react to what platform you need to land on after you make the jumps and a single error will cost you a life. JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE is still burned into my head after all these years.
The tutorial mission in Driver on the PS1
You are given the littlest amount of time possible to complete every stunt on the list.
Seriously. I played this again fairly recently and I couldn't believe I ever beat it in the first place.
I remember i always started off at full speed towards the wall to do the brake test.

As a 6 year old who had no idea what a slalom was this was a nightmare.

Seems so. Ironically, the other game i'm playing at the moment IS Bloodborne, and I haven't even gotten to the DLC yet.
Makes me feel a lot better that you posted that. I accidently changed the difficulty because of that level and just stopped playing.Either:
If you've played Final Fantasy Tactics: you know why.
If you haven't: imagine a multi-staged location that you can't escape from, that starts off easy, but then pits you quickly in a 1vs1 battle to the death where if you don't have the foresight to grind your ass off with your main hero: you will die. Then it caps off with the rooftop battle which tasks you to protect an incredibly weak AI controlled character that charges headlong into certain death so you'll have to had the foresight to grind your ass off to make sure several of your characters had access to job classes with high speed stats.
Hallowbrook Hotel level in Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines.
This was the point where I just flat out used cheats to just get through a level, cause man was this one so damn long and really shows how bad the combat is.
The last chunk of the game is honestly rough, but at least the other levels at the end offer more stealth options.

This gif might have unsold me on Bloodborne lol

I beat Dark Souls back in the day and really enjoyed it.
I was hyped for DS2, and then when it came out I played it
and felt like I was just playing the same game again, so I dropped it.
Never touched DS3. I did grab Bloodborne for cheap a while ago
because a lot of people who didn't like DS much did like Bloodborne.
This gif just looks...annoying lol. I think I'm too old for games I have to bash my head against to finish :\

Oof, first playthrough was suuuuper rough. Now that I know what I'm doing it's basically a one turn fight but yeeeeah it sucked.
For me recently it's been this piece of shit
I can *crush* the Hollow Knight easily and I know her patterns but you die *so* fast and one mistake cascades into another then another and poof. Ugh.
