Every sewer level ever made.

Every shoehorned in stealth level ever made.

Every escort level ever made.

... and every single Stinkoman level as well, I could never get through, or else I am just a pretty lousy gamer, lol.

The fourth table (Showdown) in Sonic Spinball. Seriously, that thing was bullshit.

Other than that, I can only think of four instances of teeth-grinding frustration.

1. The last chapter in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. The Bando Gora are such bullshit enemies.
2. The Minas Tirith level in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
3. The Special Stages in Sonic Heroes.
4. Visions by Abnormality in Rock Band 2. I count it because it was something that had to be overcome to finish the Endless Setlist 2, and having never played it before the setlist, it came right the fuck out of nowhere and was the only song that was insurmountable on hard bass and guitar for my group. I eventually did overcome it on hard drums and was able to clear it in one try when I played the setlist on my own. It was the only song I got three stars on.

Sky Shark for Nintendo. That game sucked so much. I couldn't even get past the first level the planes were so fast and the stupid tanks.

Gee, all of these things are just reasons why I LOVE the game.

i really don't understand the appeal of strategy guides to people. sure it makes the game much harder but when you beat it you can say you actually did it

DAISHI · 04/27/2011, 12:59 pm

Because sometimes you don't want to take a month to beat a game.

*Darth Marsden* · 04/27/2011, 01:02 pm

As a collector of strategy guides, I can honestly say there's just something about the way they feel. Having a whole tome of knowledge at your fingertips is very satisfying, knowing that, should you require aid, you can turn to it and the solution will be there, in great detail and with images to make it visually appealing.

It's something FAQs, for all their uses, will never quite replicate, in the same way that a Kindle will never replace real books (well, for me they won't, anyway).

Anyway. I completely forgot to mention it earlier (because I'm stupid and such) but pretty much anything from this exhaustive list fits under the thread topic.

For anyone who thinks psychonauts meat circus, read this, then rage:

You can just throw confusion grenades at the rabbit then pick it up.

Anyway, for me, the "level" would be the final castle of the game I wanna be the guy

*Darth Marsden* · 04/27/2011, 01:17 pm

Does that skip all the frustrating platforming? 'cause somehow I doubt it.

No that whole game is the "level". Stupid hard.

If you use shield, the knife throwers knives bounce right onto the wheel.

*more rage*

Because I want to get everything. I'm rather completionist about certain games.

Also, the OOT strategy guide I had was the Zelda: OOT Official Nintendo Power Strategy Guide. Don't tell me you never had a subscription to Nintendo Power. I thought everyone had that back in the day.

Besides that, without a Final Fantasy 7 Strategy Guide, I would have had no clue how to get a gold chocobo, much less know where the Knights of the Round summon materia was or that it even existed.

I guess your right about Uncharted 2 but thinking about it, even that section was the weakest part of a brilliant game.

The first level of the Back to the Future Part III game for the Sega Genesis.

I don't believe that I could ever get past that initial stage.

Ohhhh, also... The Empire Strikes Back for the Gameboy. I completed Star Wars and Return of the Jedi several times but I could NEVER EVER find a way out of those bastard ice caverns that featured in level 1 of Empire.

The level in DKC2 with the vine maze, the parrot, the wind gusts... I don't need to look it up, if you've played it, you know it....it's just every damn obstacle they can think of. There are many bad games that I can bring up...but this is an insane part in an amazing game.
