Alright men.Now we all are mortals,so eventually get clobbered a lot in all the games.This idea just struck me when I was playing God Of War today & almost tore my hair off at certain point.So please list all your experiences in any games where you have been killed/been pissed off/been extremely frustrated the most.

I'll start with the current game which I am playing God Of War.Was almost about to kill my PS2.It was during a certain stage in Challenge of Atlas when I had to cross some rope area & those dreaded undead warriors would keep coming in from both directions.One of them always managed to grab my leg & pull me down to instant death.The trick to fend them off is to perform a constant analog shake combo but this is what I was not very good & got killed each time.Took me an hour & a half to pass it.:cry:

Well that was me now fire away guys.:D

GTA - Vice City: forgot the name of the level. It's where you have to destroy a building by placing 5 or 6 dynamites inside a building with the aide of a RV.

Same game, where you had to bomb a bunch of goons on motorboat, with the aide of RV.

Since i played on a laptop, without a mouse, controlling RV was a pain in the a$$.

this was years ago :D

in the original halflife when we had to kill that BIG tentacled monster using a combo of oxy+fuel gigantic flame torch lol I coudn't easily distract that blind monster and got killed most of the time :p then read a walk through where it was suggested to throw grenades in the opposite direction to distract it :p

after those good times I have not completed many games :( plain old CS whenever got time :D

and a LOT of times in Trackmania Nations :lol:

Dahaka chase was easy man :D The ending traps (falling ledges and bridges) were a bit of turn off. And those exploding dogs.

I really got pissed at the fight with the two brothers in the two thrones. But finally manages to defeat them.

1) Mafia- there is this race wer u have come first! pretty tough!

just enable the damage setting and drive safely in no more than 3 tries u will be the winner.

Actually in my case many of the racers got trashed (cuz damage was on) and i was the lone survivor :D

I think everyone would make fun of me for this. But Im a chess freak and I game with the program Chessmaster. In there there are personalities coded in and one is V. Anand. Out of 281 games I have got 276 defeats 5 draws. Not a single win. Usually the game ends with me being decimated but every once in a while I get an advantage and somehow make a draw.

Apr 14, 2008 at 7:26 PM
I wont make make fun, my friend and me had a bet on how many games one could draw against Chessmaster himself(highest rating) in a rated game. We used to play and play, we got our chess skills improved drastically due to that. I won the bet by *cough* *cough* discovering a yet-to-be-made public glitch. That worked since Chessmaster 6 which was the first I played, to the latest Chessmaster XI. Still havent been fixed yet :D

Great thread. Here's my list:
God of War- Fight with the three-headed Hydra. I spent days trying to complete that. Then I read Gamespot's guide and realised I was doing it wrong.

God of War2- the fight with the 3 headed Dog.

Devil May Cry 3- the whole game is insanely difficult. The final boss battle will make your thumbs bleed.

Tomb raider legend- the underground sea monster level where one has to shoot the bells to kill the beast. Took some time to figure out and a lot of time to actually beat the thing.

shadow of the colossus- some of the colossus were a real head scratcher. The last one was a complete pain in the ass.

Black-last level. Another ass-kicker. Enormous length, tonnes of bad guys and no way to save the game mid-way (you have to play it start to finish).

Carbon- last race against the Audi R8.

The worst I was stuck in any game was Max Payne I was stuck in that first maze level for atleast an year.
Then the recent game I was stuck in was Devil May Cry 3 but I just play it again after 3 months and I just somehow clear it.

Was it with the last Hydra head? I almost gave up on it thinking the DVD was glitched.As no matter what I did the Hydra would just break free when it came to press "O" repeatedly.Later after much research I learnt it was not a glitch & we had to be extremely fast on it.My trick was to keep the controller down at that part & keep pressing the circle button only with my middle finger & that did the trick.:D

^^ Its the big, daddy hydra, the one who ate the ship captain. One with two small green heads and one big brown head.

Btw I use the same technique for rapid key pressing. I keep the controller in my left hand and with the right index finger jam the O button. Same thing I did in POP:WW in the battles with Shahdee where one has to continue pushing button to throw her away.

Rofl...one swipe and chimp gets ur banana. I lost interest at those levels, i was more thinking abt serious sam and his mighty guns to stone the chimps.

Apr 25, 2008 at 1:53 PM
^Oh Yeah! I got frustrated on a lot of points.Mainly due to the lack of ammo & the AI was very tactical for humans as they would just hide between trees & try run away once a grenade was flung towards them.It was very tough at times & the health bar was another concern.Dunno what good the armor was for as it would get depleted within no time.Unlike Crysis which was a bit easier as it had the health renewal system & cloak mode to bypass some unwanted fights,Far Cry seemed very difficulty.:(

Well, like all games, Zelda games start easy and become harder as the game progresses. But the dungeon I was talking about is a special level you get when you input a password. It has a special treasure at the end(Power Ring - Level 3) and so its quite difficult.
