Dead Rising - The controls were just too horrid for me, and the save system is atrocious. I still played around on free roam and stuff, but I never did the story because I would always get completely screwed over by the save system. Dead Rising 2 is a much better balance between perplexing difficulty and fun.
BF2:MC - I know someone mentioned this earlier, but I ragequit on a different level, that level where you play as the Americans and you have to take over the Chinese base in the mountains. I cant remember what it's called, all I remember is that it's snowing and they give you around 10 guys, a humvee and an APC to take on a CRAPLOAD of cheap respawning infantry, tanks and APCs. You have to make these resources last through both the capture of the base, then the defense of the base from counter attack. Complete BS. That whole game is, I tell ya.

While not solely due to difficulty, I gave up on protoype when I couldn't beat one of the bosses.

I'd forgotten about that one - I just replayed it - yeah I gave up too. lolStellarViking said:
Hue City on Veteran. GOD DAMN IT! Stop respawning before I can move up! You're the Viet-Cong, there aren't that many of you!
Super Meatboy, even though I played the flash ones (which are hard as fuck) the PC version was just too much for my Jediness, also not having a gamepad is quite a disadvantage apparently. It's still installed in my PC, waiting until I get enough free time, will and peace to beat it without rage-quitting every 5 minutes.
Dead Rising 2: the game is fairly easy except for some mini-bosses who are absolutely impossible.
Portal: prelude. It's a mod for portal. Same mechanics as Portal but it's levels are aboslutely demented, some were hard to figure out how to beat them and other were just too difficult: using portals all the time in a "the floor is made of lava" way is complicated.
Grim Fandango: had to drop it because I couldn't make it run smoothly (enough) to actually enjoy it, it seems it's just too old for my PC.

I stopped playing that game where I got the part where all the enemies had this un-reasonable hatred against statues.
None, I'm a gaming masochist and I beat every NES 2nd quest; SMB1, Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Contra, Rush-n-Attack, Ikari Warriors, Iron Tank, Castlevania. Including some truly brutal ones like Legendary Wings, Gunsmoke, and Astyanax.
The more difficult the better.
I leveled a Discipline Priest in vanilla WoW on the Alliance side of a pvp server. I played a pvp thief in Ultima Online with no magic skills. I ran melee through Diablo hardcore hell difficulty. I played through Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on the highest agent settings. I beat the original Aliens vs Predator before the patch allowed save games. Serious Sam 1 and 2 were owned on Serious mode.
I play Nethack without copying save games, I play DWARF FORTRESS and always start in scary zones.
Bring it on.

I'm very OCD about completing games on at least medium difficulty, so I don't think I've given up on one because it was too challenging. I have, however, given up on a lot of games because they were monotonous headaches.

On pure difficulty:
Dead Space 2 on Zealot (or hard core but for slightly different reasons).
Seriously, I beat tinghe first Dead Space on Impossible difficulty, but not this one Nope, the shadow pack tear me to pieces in like ten seconds, the Marker gets a raise in hit points, it's designed to be absolutely unbeatable.

Original Legend of Zelda on NES. Just didn't know what to do or I didn't have OCD enough to play more after the manual trailed of on my objective.
The Last Remnant tested my patience too many times. It was the Gates of Hell boss that ruined it for me. By the time I beat him I just had no more interest in playing.
I've played everything, and I never play a game without finishing it.
Only thing I never could finish, because the difficulty eventually made it unplayable, was Trackmania Nations.
Eventually, I just got tired of repeating the same track 50 times to get it exactly right. And I never settled for less than a gold medal.
Guess I'm OCD that way.
