That goddanmed fourth driving level in Terminator 2: Judgement Day>:

The bit right before the end of FarCry when you have to get through a volcano full of fatboys (or whatever they were called) and invisible motherlovers.

SUPER MARIO FRUSTRATION


WELCOME TO 1998

Going up the screw in Metropolis Zone while avoiding starfish :(

That fucking barrel in the second act of Carnival Night Zone >:

Holy shit. I remember that and how fucking cheap and brutal that was.

Sadly, I took me a few years to muster up the courage to get by that (im pretty sure you are thinking of the first act, though). Even after working the barrel, time was an issue in both acts. Also that room full of doors in Bowsers Keep in Super Mario RPG. You couldnt save after clearing a door and every time I ended up in the room where you had to hit all the right series switches I knew I was fucked.

I knew someone was going to mention the Carnival Night Zone barrel and I'm here to brag that it took me probably a minute to figure it out :picklehat

I used to make fun of my friends for complaining about that barrel and I didn't think it was the giant problem it was until I saw a bunch of six-year-olds on GameFAQs whining about it.

Dino Crisis 3

ALL of it!

fatal frame 3, jen & I never figured out to beat the first level :/

Keep in mind I was a six year-old when that barrel part was a problem for me. The amount of time given in part 2, though, still makes me nervous.

I quit the game and never played again after that.

Amen, Brotha!

Sista?

WOW MAN, YOUR POST COUNT IS LIKE THE SAME NUMBER OF THE REGULAR MARVEL UNIVERSE.

Anyways, did anyone make it past that Egyptian Temple deathpit in Double Dragon III (Genesis) or whatever the hell it was supposed to be?

Max Payne Dead Baby Dream ARGHBNLUNGE

Also Final Fantasy X where I had to sit through hours of boring anime cutscenes

fucking seconded, jesus chrise

You sure put me in my place:rolleyes:

the barrel from sonic 3 :eek i remember one time renting the game and someone had made it past that level. that was the first time i got to experience the rest of the game, which in comparison to the first 4 levels blows. :/

recently i haven't honestly had any trouble in games, but i have spent a few days on some of the bosses in viewtiful joe 1 & 2

Sandopolis Zone Act 2. When I played Sonic & Knuckles 10 years ago I stuck in that goddanmed tomb.....wasn't until 2003 that I played that game again and finally figured it out. Still, Terminator 2 has the most insanely difficult level I've ever played.

OK well I second this one too, actually. I got stuck on the never-ending slides not knowing how to get by until I realized how easy it actually was about a year after I gave up on it for the first time. :(

I was, like, 8 >:

Trying to find all the coins in Super Mario on the DS >:

the first level of snakes revenge, how the hell do I get inside the base :((((((
