Megaman X 4 was the bane of my childhood. That game royally bent me over a pinball machine as a kid. I spent years pushing through it. Finally finished it in college.
I seem to remember that every boss from FFX was a struggle. I don't know if that game was obscenely hard, or if I just sucked as a kid, but damn it was frustrating. I got to the final boss, but got board and quit. Seymour was always a pain in those games.

Never could beat Psychonauts because of the terrible Meat Circus level. I hate escort stuff and timed BS and that's a pleasantly disgusting mix of the two.
Wild Arms 3.
Really late in the game you come across this level with the random door puzzle and must go through a correct series of doors to get past the puzzle.
The kicker? Random encounters aren't disabled for this area of game. And you only get to battle the last boss after you go through all the puzzle doors. Can't save afterwards. After enduring this and losing to the boss 3-4 times I just upped and quit and never touched the game again.
It was a terrible end for what was otherwise a great game.

The very game I came here to mention! I must admit I actually shelled out ?20 the other day buying the entire Rare Replay bundle just for Battletoads so that I could go back and crack that damn speeder section.Maximum Bert said:
It has been a frustrating (and fruitless) few days.
Embarrassingly I could not get through the first level of Halo 2, atleast I think it was like the first level. Not really that the game is that hard, it's just I'm really that horrible at using a controller. Thankfully the game was in a bargain bin for like 2,50 so not really a big deal.
Also the first boss of ninja gaiden on the xbox, I just could not do it and gave up after dozens of attempts. Being bad at using a controller probably didn't help. XD

Can't remember getting that stuck in the past, as I ususally just tried over and over again until I beat it.
There is this one however that I just can't beat these days, and it has the most annoying level objective there is. "Protect X"
It's an escort mission in Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, where you are supposed to protect a convoy from an attack. I like the game and want to progress, but that mission is just unfair. In a normal fight I could have held my own, but I just cant for the life of me keep the stupid NPC ships alive.
It's also quite early in the game, so the dificulty spike just seems unreasonable.

Omg, that fight was SNK boss levels of frustrating. It took me a couple days to beat that monster. It doesn't help that in story mode you flip between a bunch of characters so you never really get too good with any of them. I just had to find that one Raiden combo that I could pull off, and kept using that to punish when I could. I think it was mostly luck that fight, needed a favourable attack pattern. You knew you were screwed when he would spam his charges, and rush you the hell down.Mortis Nuncius said:
For me it was Ares part 2 versus the clones in God of War (on god mode). Pretty much impossible, I don't know how people do it.
Yeah. I remember this one. beat it by rolling a pen over the 'A' button.Kajin said:
And this one was a bane of my for awhile. Didn't help that english is not my native language. Nowadays it is a diffirent story.the silence said:
Speaking of Driver, it's sequel had really nasty difficulty spikes in every level. The most infamous one is "Chase the Gunman" in Rio. Took me 2 days, gave me a headache and eye strain but did it.
Now, to actually stay on topic:
I gave up on Halo 3. Really, really, really hate the Cortana level.
I'm having the hardest time with Undyne. I'm DETERMINED to beat the whole thing as a True Pacifist. That and some part of Antichamber has me completely stumped.
This right here! Not only was it a water level, but you had to swim around defusing bombs, avoiding harmful plant life with tiny little gaps to swim between and the worst part... That shit had a TIME LIMIT!!! I never made it past it either.Imperioratorex Caprae said:
not exactly a level, but nothing pissed me off more than being stuck fighting the wild hunt for the first time in The Witcher 3, with absolutely no food, no potions, and only a tiny sliver of health on the hardest difficulty.... achievements be damned i turned that shit down to easy mode after dying 5 times and I still had difficulty clearing it 
Gimel Coin lets you save anywhere except the Abyss. You should try them. Gimel Coins that is, not the Abyss, that place is hell.Raddra said:
Also, Disaster Wind is technically optional. They all are. If you can't reach one of the Disasters (for the longest time I couldn't solve the claustrophobic 2nd block puzzle in Disaster Earth) you can just go straight up the main hall to face Tiamat. He will possess the elemental immunities and powers of all the Disasters that you haven't slain, but skipping one Disaster that you couldn't reach isn't the end of the world if you just use wards for that element.
I don't know if you beat it or not, but I actually learned the "correct" way to mash. It involves swiping your fingernail over the button back and forth rather than pressing down. Now I'm unbeatable at Mario PartyKajin said:
OT:The last level of Simpsons Hit and Run. God Damn Granpa is your car made of icicles? The slightest touch will blow up the toxic waste. Time limits and cars do not mix.

I imagine you heard that an endless amount of times. XD
As to NG, that sucks, man. Go back and play!!! Murai (first boss) is there for one purpose really. To make sure the player knows how to block and dodge properly. I was stuck too until it finally sunk into my thick skull to do it. lol But yeah, even today, Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black has aged pretty darn well. That's why I highly recommend you go back to it.
I doubt my competence levels have gone up over the years, haha. But alas, even if I wanted to, I sold that old thing a long time ago.Arnoxthe1 said:
Same... and then, afterwords, I would forget how I got passed it in the first place whenever I replayed said level...VG_Addict said:
Other than that, most of the Nickelodeon THQ games had, at least, more than one level that were very hard to pass... and yet... Also, I still remember getting lost in both Deep Jungle and Traverse Town in the first Kingdom Hearts game... Plus, progressing passed Al's Toy Barn in the PC version of Toy Story 2 has, still, eluded my grasp to this day...
