The one that most recently comes to mind is the third Terran mission in Starcraft (the first one). Basically, it's a "survive for 30 seconds and then the evacuation comes" mission.robodukky said:
I'll admit, it was intense and difficult when I was 9, but when I recently went back to play the game again, not only did I totally fend off all the waves, but I had built roughly 15 or 20 bunkers and easily fended off the "OH SHIT" wave at 1 minute. The base hadn't even been touched, let alone overrun, yet they were still like OMFG THE DROPSHIPS ARE HERE THANKS FOR SAVING US, SONS OF KORHAL ^_^

The Challenge of the Very Might in Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East. its basically the biggest army in the entire game. if you can defeat it with the use of an extremely complex strategy, you will hit the level cap for the rest of the campaign.

Well yes, in all boss fights where my character is meant to lose I'm winning, until it goes into a cutscene where I just get own for no really reason. Most reasently it was the first fight against Straga in Darksiders. I was full'o health and really kicking ass, then cutscene, and wosh I lose 
I understand why War, lost and why he had to lose, it just that these moment make me feel like it is my fault all the time.

Zone of the Enders 2. I didn't win, but in the first fight with Anubis aboard the vessel that attacks Io, I took him down by a ridiculous amount, much further than the 15% I believed would trigger a cutscene, perhaps as low as 30 percent remaining.

First fight with Raphael on Phantom Brave.
Not particularly difficult but he is about 50 levels above what you should be and the story continues anyway if you lose.

I don't know if this counts, but in Halo: Reach's first mission Winter Contingency there comes a point when you're defending a courtyard from being swamped by Covenant whilst your team tries to break into Visegrad relay. When the door is finally opened you receive the order to fall back immediately, and the rest of your team withdraw inside the bunker, during which more Covenant drop-ships are pouring troops into the courtyard. Thing is, there's only a limited number of drop-ships that appear, and if you tough it out you can clear the base of all ground units and the two Banshees doing strafing runs on the compound to leave a totally silent Covenant graveyard.
I haven't managed to clear the courtyard on Legendary yet, but on Heroic it's a piece of piss (as long as you make the Elites a top priority and remember to take cover from the Banshees!).

There's a part near the end of Dragon Age where you get ambushed by a load of people. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to die as when you do you are taken to a prison and given a quest to escape. My second time through the game I beat the ambush with my Arcane Warrior.
Lets see, the only ones I can think of are the Leon fight in Kingdom Hearts (as well as the Cloud fight), and the Blitzball game in FFX.
The best way of taking down the Banshees is to shoot them with the charge-up shot from the Covvie plasma pistol then stick them with a few plasma grenades after they crash. It's not like there's a shortage of either after the courtyard has been cleared!robodukky said:
Do you know if there's a similar limit to the dropships outside the Sabre facility? I got curious about that the other day but got bored after five dropships and went inside.
EDIT - Bloody well done on the Legendary clearance, by the way!
That was my first emotional experience with a game, I don't remember much of that game except the traitor and the final mission. Oh and Mark Hamill's shoddy acting. Thanks for the nostalgia blast!Kayevcee said:
The first level of Ace Combat 6 where all of the Strigon team appear (the enemy team of Aces). You're meant to retreat from them, but I took them all out quickly (the last plane you get is hilariously broken).
DBZ Tenkaichi I had to deliberatly hold back and use cheap spammy atacks so I didn't kill them.
Other than that not really.
