Weren't those the musical instruments? Goddamn, talk about difficulty spike.

Let's see mine:

Team Fortress 2: The fact that most servers have 1) Crappy respawn times 2) More players than the map was designed to hold 3) Critical hits on 4) Horrible map rotation

I think that's it. I don't have a lot of complaints about, say, Pump it Up or OpenTTD. They can be improved a lot but there's nothing "wrong" with them.

EDIT: Yes, there is:

OpenTTD: The fact that if you want to upgrade from rails to maglevs you are in for the biggest pain in the ass ever, as you need to put every train in a depot and then create new ones manually. Ughh.

Final Fantasy 6, I really dislike the Esper Cave in the World of Balance. I get paranoid that I'm going to miss the Atma Weapon every time I'm in there, and while there are tricks to defeating the enemies, I really can't stand them. Also I never really cared for Zozo.

That and the battle with Wiegraf (this time with Lightening Stab to piss you off). Those are probably the two toughest battles in the game, but then again a lot of the earlier battles are harder it seems.
Do you mean the first fight with Gafgarion, when he turns on you? There's actually a trick to making that fight considerably easier. Remove all of Gafgarion's equipment right before you go to that area. It's impossible for him to do Night Sword when he's not holding a sword, and he'll have next to nothing in terms of hit points and defense.

Also I never really cared for Zozo.
I am playing the game through for the first time on my SNES (Well I played the PSX remake when it came out, but never got very far back then) and that fuckbag clock puzzle took me forever to figure out, I love adventure games so I can never warrant looking at walk through for answers (it might be a different time for everyone as well), while it was worth it for now, I am sure the second I get a better tool I will be annoyed I wasted that much time on it.

Actually the chainsaw is one of the best tools. You'll be using it until the end of the game.

Some of the stepcharts are just evil. And I'm not talking "Holy shit I'll never be that fast" Dignity Nightmare or Canon D Nightmare evil. I'm talking "the human body was not meant to contort in such ways" evil. Join the Party Crazy is like that.
