Oh and any RPG. I just do not get them. Mario rpg. . . I can't beat that damn yoshi with sunglasses who steals something from you. His attacks killed me in like 2 hits and my stuff barely hurt him. wtf?

this post is making me laugh! those are some funny comments...

My games that hate me include:
Ikagura on arcade mode I cant get past the 4th boss to unlock the 5th level. I still love the game though.
Contra: I am good at it but wont ever beat it im sure.
Mario Galaxy: purple coin level on 8bit luigi (anyone else know what i am talking about!?)
Space Channel #5: I dont know why they did a rhythm game with no on screen prompts. I get it a little bit but then I give up! Up, down, left, down, Chu, Chu .. ah forget it!

you know
I just dont understand why they make gaming that way, I think its a cheap way to make them look more challenging, and there is huge difference between challenging and frustrating.

games should be fun, if you ask me, they should fool the gamer to thinking he accomplished something while everything in the game was made him win, like fool him into thinking he actually DID IT. One thing is continues, I mean , who dies like a 100 times some place yet he gets to play that exact level where he died again, or getting hints or using different difficulty settings and more. If games are going to be just as tough as real life(one stab you die, one fall you die, one wrong move and you are in jail for the rest of your life-gta games) then why not just go out there and do it for real I bet its more exciting than watching it on TV. One thing I hate is when they make you go for very long in a l level and then you die, and you have to start all over again repeating the whole process. thats one of the cheapest ways i saw trying to make games more challenging.

I guess it should be balanced not too many save points, not 1 per level , and so on.

Games should not be frustrating, and I am serious about this, I think there should be some kind of community against frustrating games and demanding non-frustrating games.

One game I found amazing was ninja gaiden black, every one says its hard, but I didnt find it hard, its not frustrating. If you do something wrong, then its YOUR FAULT , not like a random bee came to sting you while you are in the middle of a jump that caused you to fall in the pit of fire-that is frustrating and that kind of stuff happens in games.

and the latest game that did that to me is phantasy star online for the dreamcast.
This game seems to have the potential of the world in it, but I guess the developers decided to make it just any other game(maybe taking it online was the big issue back then)
but all you do is fight same enemies running around, and it gets frustrating when you have to play for an hour and a half or two with NO saving. I simply decided to quit on that game, if it is designed that way then it does not deserve to be played, and I really hope that who ever made this game did not make a cent out of it because he does not deserve it. I like the dreamcast a lot, and I do like sega, but whoever make such games should taste a burn in his career and business decisions to learn not to make such games

Man, they aren't that hard. Just go back to them. None of them come close to the rape that Megaman Zero offers.
Now, I haven't played X7,X8 or Legends 2, yet but the Mega Man games aren't very hard. They're challenging, but not difficult.

@Moz: I found the original Mega Man Zero to be the only difficult one in the series, but that one got easier as you learned the ins and outs of the game.

I. Fucking. God. Damn. Hate. Ninja. Gaiden. The game doesn't even feel like it's finished. In some spots, you'll kill an enemy and it'll come right back. The controls suck ass like, an ass sucking machine of some sort. The whole "can't go backwards" while jumping thing is total bullshit. I know it's realistic, but it shouldn't be in a game where jumping backwards is required! I don't understand why you can't climb the walls, you can grab on them, so why can't you climb them? It also sucks shit that you can't swing your sword when you're on a wall or when you're on a ladder. Those fucking bats. I hate those things. They're always put in the worst places, knocking you off ledges or messing up your jumps, causing you to die. It really sucks that this shit is in the game because it could've been a fantastic game if it finished.

Boomer Kuwanger. He hangs by his tongue, you nail him, he drops and hangs again. Rinse and repeat.

As for recent games that have that "bastard" level of challenge, apparently the Prinny game coming out from NIS is supposed to be on a Ghosts & Goblins level of difficulty. You get 1000 lives and it's difficult to beat, to put it into perspective.

Luigi's Mansion: Getting absolutely massacred by the final boss after breezing through the entire rest of the game, and then needing to sit through that unnecessarily long cutscene over and over again to retry...

Final Fantasy V Advance: Dying countless times against Shinryu and Omega (and their more powerful counterparts), especially given that there's absolutely no way to anticipate the exact combination of equipment and abilities you need to defeat them.

Ditto the first Mega Man Zero game. And any time I died on Clown Man in MM8. Oh, the loathing...

Of course, let's not forget the Boost Guardian in Metroid Prime 2, or the fact that mere moments after finally beating him, I died because of the poisonous air.

I know, It's me. Ever since I was little I had to deal with the fact that my thumbs go crazy every time an enemy comes at me below arm level and I can't crouch-fire. I panic when I have to dash to dodge a jumping enemy. It's a problem I've been trying to fix lately. I know they can't be that hard since I watched my brother beat three of the stupid things in the original series, more in the others. I'll get better eventually.

Ah yes, the lack of crouching. Adding crouching was the one thing I like most about Mega Man X5. Unfortunately, that's the only thing I like about Mega Man X5.

Crouching in Mega Man is blasphemy.
