Battletoads is disqualified from this conversation. That game made EVERYBODY give up.Darknoc said:
The hover bike part was hard enough but I just cannot beat the unibike part where you have to constantly switch directions.

I tried cheat devices and even they couldn't stop Xenogears from being abysmal to play.
I'd also like to add F-Zero GX to my list, the third or so level of story mode just gave me fits. GP mode was a bit more bearable though.
I got to the final level on both Viewtiful Joe games before giving up.
Also Ninja Gaiden 1 on NES so many evil sections :-(

MetroidZ Primez 2: EchZoZzeZzZzZzZzZzZ
Chapter 5 level 3 is a powerleveling map... I went from lvl 15 -> lvl 56 in an hour.Cherubae said:DisgaeaEveryone says it's such a great game, but I got tired of getting beat up in the Item World. It takes sooo long to level up characters as well.
Got to chapter 2, met the blond assassin, and haven't picked it up since :'( Too hard....

Stealth games require a relatively high level of skill before you can really have fun with them. Otherwise, too many people fall into the trap of continual saving/reloading to brute force their way past tricky parts.
Take the time to plan out your actions carefully; scout out enemy movements, use the tools available to you, don't take too many risks, and think ahead. You'll have a lot more fun with stealth genre.

Ya, but I have to level up to get to chapter 5
The prince-fellow was around level 9 when I stopped playing at the end of chapter 1 with the extra work I put into him. I must not have understood the details of the game very well. I could never really understand the geospheres and their matching color squares, and the Item world just frustrated me to no bounds.

I gave up on Viewtiful Joe twice. On my third time through when I finally met up with Fire Leo, it took me 3 hours but I finally beat that S.O.B. The levels after Leo were a cakewalk.
I'm playing Link's Awakening right now, and have been tempted to give up a few times. Each and every time however, I have an epiphany of sorts that keeps me going.

TBH, I never bothered much with Geospheres. I beat the game just fine. Oh, a word of advice: Ninjas are AWESOME in Disgaea. When leveled up enough, virtually nothing can hit them. I found my ninja to be vital in the Item World. Just place him at a choke point, watch as enemies constantly miss him, and use ranged attacks with your offensive characters.

Yeah, me too. Moto GP 06 BLOWS
Thank God I found out by trying the Demo on the 360....
Devil May Cry 3. (not the SE version)
I gave up after only an hour or two into the game. There was a big boss fight where you had to kill these twin statue thingies ( memory is hazy, so bear with me). I couldn't beat them and I got frustrated having to play 15-20 minutes worth of level just to get back to those bosses...only to have them hand me my ass time and time again. Had there been a save point anywhere close to that boss fight, I would have probably kept playing.

How can you be underlevelled in a Suikoden???
Lunar 1 end boss can be killed only using the dragons (basically).
I don't have a good souvenir about those Metal Gear situations but i don't remember any battle i absolutely needed googles (except MGS3). I'm sure i'd have a easy stratefy for you on those.
Ohhh, that last one is a bitch. I managed to finish them all, but that last one took a lot of patience. What was the pause trick, though? I just kept grinding my way through until I finally made it.
Yep, that's stealth for ya. I actually love most stealth games, but if you are unskilled at them, you're in for one hell of a frustrating time. This is why I think so many people dislike them...
As for games I've quit, well, anything with the past few years with heavy random encounters. I absolutely detest random encounters and refuse to play any games with them. I tried to give SMT3 a chance, though, and walked away from it after just a few hours. The concept really appealed, but the amount of battles drove me insane.

POP: TTT, i quit at the last boss
Blitz: The League for now, god damned rubberbanding.

Fight Night Round 3: graphics were wonderful, the game just got meh for me. I couldn't keep up in career mode, and I didn't want to after it felt like the control scheme was falling apart.
GRAW: I couldn't never get a handle on this game, even though I enjoyed it. After the third level, I was just getting ambushed too much to spend time on it.
GT4: oh, please.
Kingdom Hearts: I had to level up to finish the Hercules world thing or whatever. I had other things in mind.
