Veni, Vidi, Vici in VVVVVV. 1500 deaths, 3 and a half hours of my life I'm never getting back. I just couldn't try and get the two remaining trinkets after that.
Hardest Moment in Gaming that you have managed?

A lot of people talked about the water slums mission in Jak 2. My friends screamed bloody murder of it. I got through...on my first try...with half health. My friends hated me after that lol. Though I guess that doesn't count for this since I had no problems.
Ya, I haven't played many HARD games, though I remember as a kid I felt REALLY accomplished when I beat the Elite 4 on my Pokemon Blue game. Not hard in reality (well, except for Lance since Dragonite was the shit in those days), but I was just a stupid kid back then.
OH OH OH! I know one! The Lion King! Seriously, go online and you'll see so many people that call the game out for being hard and cheap even on it's easier settings. Was sooooo happy when I beat it...at the age of 14. Took me about 7 years but I did it. So many ragequits, so many sleepless nights, but I got through it. And now I can get through it in 45 minutes on medium difficulty with 0-3 deaths. I've beaten it a few times on hard, but it's not a pretty sight.

Got to stage 2-4 midboss of Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou Black Label with A-EXY and without continuing. Also broke my record score. Took me some time, because stage 2-3 was a huge wall for me, mainly because of the boss which is huge *****.
And other one worth of mentioning is looping Ketsui with Panzer Jaeger, which basically means that I cleared all 5 stages without bombing or continuing.

Ninja gaiden trilogy - straight playthrough with no deaths. I didn't want to be within 100 feet of a side-scroller for about 2 months afterwards.
Hmmm. Too numerous. I have lots of proud moments.
Beating Resonance of Fate. One of the hardest end bosses I've ever faced (possibly cause I was a litttllleee low level to fight him).
Beating Uncharted 2 on crushing.
Platinuming Arkham Asylum (I HATE challenge modes, so any time I beat them I feel proud), and nearly doing the same on City (just 2 campaings to go).
Completing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on hardest diff for 110%. That game taught me to be good at brawlers. Until then I was flailing through DMC and Bayonetta like a drunken Panda on crack.
Beating Dark Souls fairly quickly and easily. Apparently Lightning Halbred + Tank armour (Havel/Smough) + unique shield = eezy breezy. I almost feel like a cheated somehow, considering how much I hear everyone else struggle.
And back in the day, completing Sonic 2 without losing a single life.
Yeah, back then we made our OWN challenges heh.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and the [PROFANITY]ing first lair of romulus full sync. It will take 8 minutes of your live, every single try.
The Deus Ex: HR bosses were a *****, each victory felt like a fluke and I ended up having to lug this Heavy Machine Gun around even though I was playing stealth. Jaron Namir was the worst, his gun could kill if you left yourself in front of him for more than a few seconds. Can someone please tell me how to do the spoiler thing please???
Deadrising 2's "Zombie Genocider Master" achievement was the most grueling thing I have ever attempted. I sat down to kill 72,000 zombies over 10 hours with no breaks. I did it to get what I thought was going to be another mega-man suit like in the first one. However, since it was still very new at the time, there were no online forums to tell me that you only got one piece of an armor set. FUCK CAPCOM
I beat Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the highest difficulty..
Its REALLY hard, the second is easy though.

Hmm, ive done a lot of games on the hardest difficulty, here are a couple:
Cod WaW on veteran: (the grenades... so many...)
Black ops vietnam death hill and tank on veteran.
Ninja Gaiden 1+2 (Death to all.)
Halo 3 legendary solo with iron enabled. Tsavo Highway nearly made me snap a controller.
Completing Demon and Dark souls as a mage.
Pretty satisfying, but damned if it didn't make me sink hours into it.

Original War: Last mission as Freedom HARD AS **** I mean it it's basically kill all enemies, before they detonate a nuclear bomb and blow earth to shit, and there are 2 BIG bases taking almost 2 halfs each that you're supposed to wipe out, did I mention both makes bombs? =) and have their ENTIRE ridge full of overpowered turrets that blow you to smithereens the moment you walk near, ahh well it was fun, at Easy it was hard, at Medium it Was Impossible, at Hard, It felt like hitting myself with a spoon repeatedly in the face 
Dissidia: Final Fantasy
Final Boss of the Inward Chaos bonus chapter: Level 110 Chaos (player level cap: 100)
This fight is preceded by no less than ten fights with enemies of almost max level and the best equipment gil can buy.
Chaos himself uses Shinryu (a summoning buff that is by far the most broken) at least twice per round to give himself an advantage... not that he needs it, being a hyped up Beelzebub and all.
This fight is a test of you sanity mainly because you need to beat him THREE CONSECUTIVE TIMES, or you lose. If he beats you even once, try again.
I beat him with Zidane after, oh, a hundred and thirty tries, ballpark estimate?
I don't think I have it in me to repeat that victory.

The optional/hidden bosses of the Kingdom Hearts games. BTW, fuck you Vantias' Sentiment.
Also, Nyx Avatar in Persona 3. >_<
