1,000 middle fingers to this mission.
When my friend finally talked me into giving Dark Souls a chance after hating Demons Souls (I like it now), I played for quite a while and thought "this is not so bad." Then I got to Blighttown. Holy mother of god I raged so hard that I called my friend up just to tell him how much I hated that piece of shit game. I still hate that area with a passion.
Strangely enough I beat Ornstein and Smough on my fourth try so that part wasn't really that frustrating for me. Now I've taken a break in Tomb of the Giants since that area is also on my hate-list.

This part took me about an hour but eventually I got through it. Fuck the pan flute.
1,000 middle fingers to this mission.
damn.
i had succesfully removed this shit from my memory and now you brought it back -.-
In Bloodborne The Old Hunters, I almost gave up against OoK and turned off the game, I thought he was bullshit. But when I tried a last time, I finally got him. I was sooo happy.
The most bullshit fight, however, is Bloodletting Beast in a poisonous area in a rotted, fetid and cursed Pthumeru Ihyll. It's fucking impossible. I couldn't beat him. I haven't deleted the dungeon yet because I thought I could try again. One day.

Sounds like you forgot to pick up the rusted iron ring. Blighttown is not so bad when you have it.
I generally recommend everyone to use a guide if he's struggling with certain areas of the game.
@topic: The final boss fights of both FFX and Titan Quest. What a load of crap. These bosses are so much stronger than everything else in the game, you are being forced to go back and grind the shit out of the game. And when that happens I always go like, fuck this shit.

Holy shit! I feel you man, I've lost a 'few' hardcore toons. Never went that far though. These days it usually just consists of hanging head in hands for a minute or two going over what I could have done different and being sad at the gear I just lost. Life of a hardcore D3 player -shrug-
I hope you relocated the machine and re-rolled straight away

Neverdead:
- The regenerating final or pre-final boss. As if the disembodied head moments weren't bad enough
Final Fantasy XIII
- Gran pulse. Fuck your open world
Zelda: Oracle of Ages
- Goron Dance minigame (Simon Says keeping the rythm without visual aids. The music puzzle in GOW III is a joke by comparison).
Valkyrie Profile: Sylmeria
- The Final boss. Used an Action Replay

Vacuous ROM in Bloodborne. Having an amazing time with my first 'souls' game, and then this guy pops up. Total roadblock for me, I could never defeat him. I even summoned a few people, who died just as quickly as I did. Still one of my favourite games this year by a long shot, but it bugs me that I'll never see what was beyond ROM. I sold the game and moved on after x number of attempts.

Completed the main game, then attempted Quiet's last mission. The game throws everything at you. Had a few attempts, but by this point I was burnt out on the game anyway, and just gave up after so many tank/helicopter related deaths. The game gleefully burns any good will you had for it in its second chapter, this mission included.

New York Minute Hardcore
Beat the game without dying. In one sitting.
AND IT FROZE ON THE SECOND TO LAST CHAPTER.
Took a week to bring myself out of the depression I spiraled into and finally beat it.

Whaaaaat nooooo, you shouldn't have done that D:
Rom is not that difficult if you use the good strategy. Besides, thanks to the DLC, you can now summon NPCs and they tank quite well.

It introduces new faults as well. I didn't have a problem with it, but I could very well see someone saying "fuck this shit" after
realizing he has to reawaken the crystals for the 3rd or 4th time again.

Climbing up the big top in psychonauts. I gave up, controls are terrible at times.
The problem wasn't really the water areas, it was more the huge difficulty spike, the constant falling down and being completely lost, aggroing enemies that I didn't even notice until they stabbed me in the back. And of course the
dart blowers

I managed to beat bloodletting Beast in a FRC Ihyll dungeon. It wasn't easy. I can't imagine doing it on a poison arena D:
This finnicky ass jump.
oop, I remember that mutha...
I quit Dark Souls for a while, too while in Blight Town. I could get through it, I just didn't know where to go. I ran from the shortcut entrance to the real entrance and back and forth. I wasn't using a guide then so I got really frustrated. I think "the moment" was when I got invaded and someone knocked me off that rickety bridge thing, you know the one.
I came back and gave in, looked at a guide (how could I not go to that giant thing?!) and played as a thief with light armor and loved the game almost immediately.
I had just beat Uncharted 1 and platinumed it shortly after. I figured I'd do the same for Uncharted 2, but that last boss on hard nearly made me break my controller. I played him straight for an hour before I beat him.
I sat down to play crushing... and my hands were really shaking! I was like fuck this shit and never played uncharted 2 again. It's the first time I ever felt defeated.
Also P.T. From someone who watches horror movies all day and just laughs... Fuck that shit. I started sweating playing that game. If Kojima and Del Torro decide to make a horror game I'm not buying it.

Dark Souls. Just after beating the Tauros demon (or something like that) after a long trek through a lot of enemies with no bonfires, then just after that a dragon swoops down with an un-dodgeable instant kill everything attack on the bridge.
Fuck that game. It's not genuinely difficult, it's made artificially difficult by bullshit mechanics that stack the odds completely in the games favour rather than giving the player a legitimately fair chance.

The thing is, there's a move that lets you jump directly upwards, and it's not even difficult to execute, you just never use it before or after this in any Assassin's Creed game.
Oh I thought that was hilarious. Classic Dark Souls.
"Thank god I managed to nail that really hard bit of game I've been struggling on"
*walks through next 5 minutes of game with guard down*
*dies*
Perfect lesson in maintaining discipline.
For me, I didn't note the bonfire shortcut on the bridge. I spent the next hour of the game or so in the most tense exercise going around the chapel area. I made a - what was then vital - call to not go inside the chapel and to instead explore off elsewhere. The ting ting ting on the blacksmith bonfire area was the most welcoming of sounds.

Final Fantasy 14, after about 20 quests in a row that made me run from one side of the same map to the other just to hand in an item or read a line of text, which i HAD to do in order to eventually play the expansion i had paid for, fuck that game and the designers who thought that was fun

No its bullshit. I love DaS and that part is a straight up cheap shot (not the only one the game takes BTW). You dont see the Dragon and by the time you hear the wings, you are already dead. If anything, keeping your guard up and approaching enemies slowly (which is what the game has been stressing up to that point) on the bridge gets you killed.
There is no lesson to be learned here, its just the designers killing you (or almost killing you) so they can have a cinematic moment.

Arkham Knight and trying to figure out one of those big Riddler trophy puzzles in the big airship in ng+. I've always wrapped up these trophies in ng+ in previous game entries with no complaints but at this moment in AK I reached my tipping point, said fuck it, and just watched the extra ending bit on youtube.
Just had it with Fallout 4. I had an objective to speak to the Minutemen, but when I get there they're engaged with combat fighting raiders on the other side of the river. I leave them to it, because I wasn't going to travel all the way to the other side of the river to take care of it for them, went away and read a book while the game played itself. When I came back, they're still in combat mode, but I can't see any enemies across the river. Eventually decide to go over and investigate, only to discover there's an enemy trapped inside a rock that nobody can get to.
After 30 hours of not really feeling it, I figured this was as good a time as any to give up.
Also, FFXIII - the boss at the end of chapter 11 which casts Doom if you take more than twenty minutes to beat it. Just felt like a complete lack of respect of the player's time to design a battle that can last more than twenty minutes and then to punish them for taking that length of time by making them start over. Unlike a lot of people, I eventually came to like this game, but not enough to regret never beating it.

It wasn't about having your guard up or down though. It was something totally unavoidable unless you specifically knew in advance exactly what was coming and when.

My first invasion in a Souls game - when I didn't even know invasions were a thing - almost fucked that shit for the entirety of the series to me.

battlefront beta. half the game is just spawning to insta death because heros can camp your spawn. then theres the at-st/at-at if your rebels. they place it in a way where you either spawn right in its path of fire, or you simply cant leave the hanger. the game is disgustingly awful.

Gran Turismo 4 - Driving Mission 34. To make things worse, you had to wait two fucking minutes each time you wanted to restart or retry.

You see the dragon first in Undead Burg, you see charred corpses on a bridge. You can avoid dying if you go in slowly and run back I think. But yeah, this is probably the most "cheesy" death in Dark Souls. I almost called "fuck this shit" on Bell Gargoyles, when the second one arrives..... 15 tries it took me, but I learned to love Dark Souls the hard way

The Sand Ocean or Fields or whatever it was called in Final Fantasy XII. I was actually loving it up until then. I got to like the third screen and just thought are these guys having a fucking laugh? Way too much grinding in that one.
I think that the Dragon bridge was one of the things that got translated poorly from DeS to DaS, in Demon's the dragon comes from ahead and gives you enough time to leg it behind cover but if you hesitate you are probably going to get burned.
