Gaming levels that made you cry

[squidbuddy99]

Two words...
MEAT CIRCUS.

[Nu-Hir]

The damn dam in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES.

I see your dam from TMNT and will raise you any level of the Silver Surfer game on the same console.

Never played Silver Surfer, but I yield in the face of Nintendo Hard.

All of Gears 2 on insane was infuriating due to Dom's retarded AI.

I actually thought Dom's AI during the final battle in GOW 1 was at it's Uber retard levels. Somehow he must have read a few books because he wasn't as bad as that in GOW 2. Oh well....

He wasn't quite as bad as he was in gears 1, but the problem in gears 2 was that he bled out, which meant that you had to repeatedly run out into the open to revive his sorry ass, to avoid another game over.

It is plain bad game design when the player gets frustrated at repeated failure through no fault of thier own, and Dom made that happen to me so many damn times...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

There are good games and bad ones but regardless there are always games with certain levels that make you want to scream. For me it was the Mile High Club on COD 4, one minute to defuse a hostage situation that not only was irrelevant to the plot line but neigh impossible to commit.

Are there any other levels in any game that made you mad?

Yea I second that, and try to complete it on Veteran, its impossible. Truly.

It's possible, but it takes many, many tries and learning every move and enemy spawn perfectly

 

[opportunemoment]

It was only quite near the beginning, but there was a point in American McGee's Alice, I think in the Skool Daze section, where you were attacked by a couple of boojums (... booji?) who come down through the broken roof of the room you're in. I really, really hated those bastards. A lot.

 

[Christemo]

The Tower of Judgement in Titan Quest. takes forever (5 floors, each take about 15 mins) followed by the hardest boss ever.

 

[manicfoot]

The damn dam in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES.

Or the speeder bike thing in Battletoads on the NES.

I agree with both. Do you know how long it took me to do that speederbike level? 13 YEARS. It was the happiest moment of my life when I finally finished it. The next level is even harder So, the lesson I learned here is don't try. Ever

 

[Chechosaurus]

ninja gaiden 2 its just to fucking hard

I thought rubbish was a better word to describe it rather than hard. However, that bloody level with the worm boss just got me so pissed off, I put the disc back in the case and it hasn't seen the light of day since. Actually... thinking about; every Ninja Gaiden II level from the moment the enemies start carrying SMGs is crap. Then before you know it, they've got rocket launchers and then ballistic rocket launchers. That is supposed to make it hard but it just makes it a incredibly frustrating and boring.

 

[Jekken6]

The last part of the Guitar Hero 3 setlist on expert. Raining Blood is so fucking hard, One os really hard near the end. Number of The Beast is really hard, but possible, same with Cliffs of Dover. And then Lou, don't get me started on that guy.

 

[Ossum]

The Monkey Cave in Earthbound.

That has to be the most pointless, frustrating, and stupid level I have ever played in a game.

Just go in with the appropriate loot and it's quick. Now, the damn underground base full of Starmen can fuck right off. That was annoying.

 

[Satin6T]

Psychonauts. The Meat Circus. I was already rank 95,so it was only slightly annoying,but still...

agreed, I was still low level

I'm trying to get level 100
but that game is a ***** to find everything

I can't find the last figment in the milkman conspiracy

 

[PhiMed]

Like I say in all "Worst Level" threads: The Star Destroyer level in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Agreed. Not the level as a whole, but the fight where you have to pull it down. I haven't yelled at the screen like that since Ninja Gaiden (NES). And what bothered me the most was that it would've been so much more awesome if I didn't have to see it SO MANY TIMES.

 

[badgersprite]

Trying to unlock Tidus' ultimate weapon in FFX. It's the first time I've hated Chocobos. And Blitzball.

 

[Vlane]

The elevator section in Sands of Time.

I thought that the battle at the well was worse.

But the level that made me actually cry was the 10th stage of this trial thing in God of War. You know when you are on this platform and you have to get to another platform. That was just cruel. I threw the controller around like a monkey.

Or just Ghosts 'n Goblins. Either way controllers died.

Edit: Somebody already posted it but IWTBTG wasn't that frustrating because I already knew I won't beat it and that it will kick my ass.

 

[blackfrancis567]

men in black for ps1 that whole game made me wanna quit gaming

 

[PhiMed]

Cortana level on Halo 3.

The entire place is brown puss, and everything blends in and it's impossible to know where you're going.

Assasins creed, for the first 3 missions (Ie the first time you go to each city) you are forced to be in the kingdom. Just the horse mechanics and combat made me cry.

Also, in Assassin's Creed where you have to jump on that boat by jumping over stakes of wood coming out of the water. The controls are WAAAYYY too clunky to expect me to do that, and I always fell in the water and died, being forced to watch the interactive cinematic -.-

Oh, one last thing. That one level in Army of Two when you have to destroy those missiles and you're being timed. That made me rage quit.

Wait, you mention Assissin's Creed, and you don't mention the enemy spam at the end? As a whole, I thought the game was awesome, but the swordfighting was ass. For some reason, that's all you can do for like the last hour of the game. Good idea, Ubisoft!

 

[Kenjitsuka]

The boss fight against Alma in Ninja Gaiden 1.
A 100% random chance of actually beating that one, with 99.99999% certainty you wouldn't beat it.

This guy shares my frustration:
