Fire Warrior on PS2. I could never kill the last boss - some kind of massive winged demon type thingy that was seemingly indestructable. Oh and the epilogue on COD4, obviously.
I Quit!

Well, I guess I'll break the trend and go with something a little different... Starcraft, on whatever the default difficulty is... I haven't been able to beat the final human mission without using a cheat (you're up against a human opponent who has a dozen ghosts that stealth and just lockdown whatever units you send in). I admit I only tried for a few days before giving up and moving on, so I'm sure that I'd eventually get it... but who's going to waste time doing that? Oh, and one of the Zerg missions I can't do because any attack is defended by a dozen templars that spam lightning storm on an invading force.
Or, alternatively, I just suck at games

Prey. No idea how far on I was. I was getting randomly shot by guys on the floor, walls and ceilings while trying to run up a gravitational curve. The weird gravity was making me ill and the game so far had been less than fun, so when my dude passed into the spirit realm to run a jumping puzzle for life fragments (or something) I just quit out and never looked back.

Hitman: Contracts The mission where you have to kill the triad bosses in the small block with a restaurant. This game was awesome but the whole thing about one stuff up meaning game over was hard.
Also FFVII i got to the big grind session at the end and cbf'ed. I do not mind grinding and in fact i am compulsive but some FF games have this huge session before the final boss of grinding i just find wrong.

Currently stuck on Sanctus in DMC4. Yes, yes, I know he's "so easy" and how lame I am.
(The real reason is Nero is boring. I know my fingers would be raw if it were Dante.)
Dante: And how would you be getting these "raw fingers" with me? *eyebrows raise*
Lisa: Oh, behave! *blushes*

That is very unlikely, on hardened yes, but not on veteran.dekkarax said:I wonder why people say that level's hard, I completed it in one go and now I feel left outAceUk said:
On topic: After a 23 lose streak on StarCraft, I gave in, im still going to defend the game in the RTS topics, but I've given up with the game itself, ill happily play Custom maps again once I get a decent internet connection and live with that.
Also about my run on COD4 Mile High Club on X-Box when i beat it I literally had 0.3 seconds on the timer, I actually jumped yelling out YES YES I DID IT! after getting the shot.
There was this one jump in Wonder Boy in Monster World that I just simply could not get. Great game, absolutely loved it, but at the very end, I was just stopped dead by this one stupid jump. It was on to an itty bitty ledge and I kept falling off. Stupid, I know, but it drove me mad. I got so frustrated that I traded the game in and never played it again.
Which is even more stupid.

I've got two right now: anything after All Guillied Up on Hardened or Veteran in CoD 4, and the first level on Legendary in Halo 3.
(I've beaten the last level on Legendary, however. What's wrong with this picture?)
EDIT: I have beaten all the levels except for One Shot, One Kill on Hardened since re-attempting the game recently.

I downloaded this game from the H.P. Lovecraft Commonplace Book Contest called "Handyman Wanted." Sadly, after a transparent setup (a book of matches and a knife in the dresser drawer?), the first obstacle it threw it me was a Twelve Puzzle. I suck at Manhattan geometry, but still... Manhattan geometry = too Euclidean for Lovecraft.
The final boss battle in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
Not so much for the difficulty of the fight, but the length of the fight combined with the two long cut scenes that you can't skip made it such a chore to replay that I just gave up after about 4 or 5 attempts.

COD4's One Shot, One Kill and Mile High Club on Veteran. Stupidly difficult.
Halo's Library and Halo 3's Cortana were impossible too.

Every single level of God of War 2 on god mode had me trying like 20 times giving up coming back to it later then another 20 tries then giving up again until I finaly beat it (toughest hack and slash game on earth right next to Devil May Cry 3)
I completed it and got the achievement with 13 seconds left. The secret is killng the guy with the shot gun (the guy after the guy in the bathroom) and using lots of flashbangs and running. Also if you pick up the aforementioned shotgun t helps a lot.Eldritch Warlord said:

Funnily enought he one time i got to him was the time i was grabbing everygun available and mowing them down. I also remember another game Halo 2 on co op legendary me and my friend spent 6 hours and couldn't get past the first level.
Tell it all brother, tell it all. I also have yet to beat it on vet.AceUk said:
I would add the first time you fight Alma in NG for Xbox. The very first time I fought her, I just couldn't beat her, but later (after I had beated the game). I ramped up the difficulty and beat her in one shot.
In Mischief Makers for the N64, there was this one point where you had to win some kind of race to progress in the game. I'm sure there was some sort of game mechanic I wasn't aware of that would make me go a lot faster, but at the time, I just couldn't figure it out-- and none of the guides I read helped at all.
This was a long time ago, though-- occasionally I've thought about hunting down a copy of the game just to finish it, but then I just don't.

Super Paper Mario. The part where you had to work yourself free. Yahtzee said that it only took him a few minutes- I don't see how. You had to also avoid electrical bolts, so you couldn't just leave the controller either.
Instead of quitting, though, I looked in a walkthrough and cheated to find the correct password. Why oh why would they do that in a video game?

As wgreer said, Alma was a nightmare, took me days. General RAAM on insane difficulty in gears of war was also really tough, had to take several breaks. As a kid the first boss of rygar for the nes was impossible for years until me and my friend realised that those blobs enemies dropped were meant to be used to buy uppgrades for your attack. After that he was easy (no, english is not my first language. I remeber beating the first police quest with a dictionary). As many have said, the mile high club on veteran was really tough. My advice is somewhat like Luminescents. My tips are:
1. Never reload, ever. pick up enemy weapons as you go. you need to spend most of your time running and you cant run and reload at the same time.
2. Flashbang and run past most enemies. Just like in the regular missions of every CoD game, enemies will not spawn behind you, if you reach a checkpoint all previous opposition is terminated (one of my gripes with the games). Every enemy that you run past will be taken care of effectivly by your teammates, they will not give chase if you are out of their fov.
3. Shotgun, and the p90 (lots of ammo)
