The Water Temple from OoT. Everything's a breeze for the entire game, and then BAM! Lowering/raising water levels, going all the way to the clothing menu to change into your iron boots, and worst of all, being able to get yourself stuck forever if you do things wrong with absolutely no warning that such a thing was even possible.

Still haven't beaten it.
I personally thought that was the best Zelda dungeon ever, of any Zelda game. I loved every second of it, it was beautifully designed. I think I know what you mean about the 'glitch', if you will, of getting stuck but it's not forever.
The original Price of Persia on DOS is right up there. 1 hour to finish? instakill when you drop more than 6 feet? Insanely hard levels? Bastard of a game

The water temple, as everyone else says.

But also that level from C&C 3 where you have to control limited power when there is a fully defended enemy base inches from your doorstep. That was the first time I threw a mouse against my wall. Video games do make me at least violent
i know my first try i was being owned, i ust managed to be able to hold them off, when.....
the flipping MCV comes to play, RIGHT NEXT TO THE ENEMY SUICIDE BOMBER BASE

Mass Effect 2's Insane difficulty. Now don't get me wrong, I liked Insanity in the original game. It was perfectly feasible if you were willing to spend the extra time and effort. Some people, however, complained it was too easy; to rectify this, IMHO, Bioware went too much in the opposite direction.

Now, if you try and use your newly-game-completed Shepard to tackle Insanity difficulty, the difficulty curve spikes, so you're forced to import a ME1 character and start anew at Level 5. And even if you do, the difficulty's just unreasonable. Scions become demigods. Harbingers become armor-plated juggernauts, and while it's not impossible, there's nothing you can do to make it easier on yourself, even if you've beaten the game twice. It's just too much for one person to handle.

I have no problem with Bioware implementing an Insane difficulty in ME 3; rather, I'd welcome it, but only if they manage to fix it so it's still hard, but not unreasonably so.

That slums level in Jak 2.


Many controllers were broken.
I figured out to hoverboard to the end. Solved a lot of problems. but yeah, that game was all over the place when it came to difficulty levels.

Hmmm......
Dante's Inferno- Full Holy
Games all well and good as you Cross-spam your way through everything in sight, until you face....
A: Heretics-Who are Immune to the Cross and make everything else in the room immune.((At least the ones with the purple circles above their heads.))
B: Lucifer- Who Hurts you if you spam the cross. ((Still trying to figure out how that works.))

The rest of the game is cake, but god dammit Visceral

Left 4 Dead. Normal to Advanced or Expert seems impossible.
True, my friends and I are stuck on Advanced.

We can't seem to handle NOT accidentally shooting each other on Expert.

The secret bosses in many rpgs are super hard. Has anyone ever played shadow hearts and fought yuri's dad (secret boss). The only way i could win was by using a secret item that lets so hit the opponent until you miss (I never missed until the boss died I FEEL LIKE I CHEATED).

The water temple isn't hard just tedious because of the menu. I still don't believe that you can get stuck.
Oh ya you can, use those keys up on the wrong doors and your toast
*eghem* "you're", not your, get it right.

The hardest difficulty I've ever contended with was the original Bioshock on Hard with the vita-chambers turned off. In this way, the fights against the splicers in large groups and especially the fights against the big daddy's (whoh crapface) were next to impossible to survive, and you couldn't just be lame and cycle through the vita-chambers to wither them down over several lives.

Spiderman 3, aside from being a terrible game in general, had a stupidly bad difficulty curve. I didn't have much trouble in the game until I came to my first boss, where he tore me in a half, over and over and over. I never even got to Sandman in that game. Not only was it too hard, but it was so bad that I had no desire to even finish it.

No,it is the same guy. I am surprised you didn't notice that...then again not really. It can be attributed to your lack of grammar skills, which may be attributed to the fact that you're probably like 12 or 13.

I just couldn't believe that someone would follow me through the forums like that...are you a stalker just on the internet, or everywhere else to?

Disgaea.

Some of the level jumps are stupid.

In one of the optional dungeons the levels jump from 700 to the boss being level 2000.

Thats not to mention Baal being level 4000....
