Yes! I'm a smart guy (modest too) but I'm an idiot at slide puzzles. That puzzle nearly stopped me from beating one of my favorite games of all time.

In Twilight Princess, the parts where you have to collect those stupid tears of light. Skyward Sword has something similar to that. It's a good game, but full of these moments that suck.

Really? I actually didn't mind those. They weren't the best parts of the game, sure, but the Twilit areas and the ghost-y people all made it pretty ambient.

I definitely agree those bat things in that game were obnoxious and take the fun away. If you do play it again, go for it on co-op. He's easier that away as someone can distract him and then you can shoot him with the arrows.

Problem is I don't have anyone to play co-op with.

I could never in a million years be able to beat that game on insane, and even if I could I wouldn't want to, as I do not find "die in one hit" difficulties to be remotely fun in any way.

Also, I have a few more. Those stealth sections in Red Faction where you have to keep your gun holstered. Where you're inevitably going to get caught and start a frustrating chase which will hinder the rest of the section. Every water level in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. That mission in Sitting Ducks where you have to get out of swampwood (easier said than done) and oh yeah, the freakin' Jet Packs in Crash Bandicoot 2.


Okay fine, how about the one we all thought of? Wrong side of the tracks in San Andreas (DAMMIT. ALL WE HAD TO DO, WAS FOLLOW THE DAMNED TRAIN CJ!).

Flight School and Stunt Plane Trials in GTA V

Arrgghh ! Frustrating is not a strong enough word.

Wrong Side of the Tracks isn't that bad once you figure out where to position the motorcycle, you can also make the mission easier by jumping onto the train and killing the enemies yourself.

Agreed on Flight School though, pretty bad(though not as awful as Freefall).

Oh, any 'stealth' objective in BULLY. Yeah playing as a cocky bald child fits the stealth scenario like a glove.
