10 Video Game Missions That Are 100% Pure Torture

[@jscott4reel]

The final battle with Aiden Gillen in Quantum Break had an unskippable like 7 min cutscene you had to sit through every time you died. Pure torture.

[@CelestialKingShawn]

Something other than that honestly. Add more enemies as an alternative or something.

[@Neknesch]

@@PongoDaMan It would be you die in one hit, but the enemy as well, the actual difficulty lies in there being many of them, they actually hit when they shoot, they get way more intelligent tactics and move more intelligent. But that would probably increase the development cost of the AI, so bullet sponges it is most of the time.

[@Mr-qt4xr]

More HP, less ammo, more enemies. Its got to be a good balance. Too much of one thing will make the difficulty feel bad. I think Halo has always got the balance right.

[@Discellaneous]

The level in Kingdom Come Deliverance where you infiltrate a monastery is brutal to figure out. You could literally stay in there forever and just live as a monk instead of figuring out how to leave.

Also, those robots were freaking scary as a kid! I had nightmares about that mission lol.

[@jessejameszao1]

Blood maze oh one of the hardest and most annoying parts to what is one of my all time favorite game.

[@S.E.Colbert]

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the topic for the video. Max Payne was kind of a buggy mess when it came out, and if you didn't have a high end pc, the red line went from brutal to masochistic. I would love to play it again, but dealing with the red line makes me pass every time I think about it.

[@paradsecar]

And speaking of Nier, who loves the parade escort mission from Nier: Automata? Anyone? No? Of course not! Because not only was it hard AF, but you had to listen to the robots sing that nails-on-a-chalkboard “Share in the Happiness” song over, and over, and over. And if you failed, guess what you had to listen to all over again? Yeah, you’ve probably blocked that memory of pure sadism right out of your mind.

You just brought back not so good memories with this one! I think it took more than enough tries to get that one complete

[@arturofernandez4058]

I passed all of the parade missions in Automata. But fuck the "Life in the Sands" mission in Replicant. It's basically a 2 week daily chore governed by RNG

[@KazimirQ7G]

@@arturofernandez4058 What is worse for me in this mission is that there's no in-game clue about crossbreeding, much less how to do it. Even if you suspected this possibility, it would be total gambling the order to properly polinate them. I've played my first 2 runs on Replicant blind, but had to resort to reddit, guides and wikis to 100% the game. "Life in Sands" can be accomplished by manipulating timezones. Although usually not simple to change Playstation's clock as Falcon said it in the video, one can easily change the timezone and it will work the same way, as time had elapsed. The worst torturing mission for me was by far catching those epic fishes (hyneria, sandfish, rhizodont...). Also, hunting for rare ores at Junk Heap to get all weapons was really painful and I didn't get all. Luckily, those DLC ones were enough to 100% the game.

[@Rylands-Rhodecus]

For the supply lines mission in San Andreas, you can fly low and when you're near your target you can land and essentially drive the toy plane on the ground and it saves fuel better. Also easier to aim the plane by just lightly accelerating to keep up.

I bought the game on a whim and fell in love with it instantly. It was like nothing else at the time (and we’ll having Trust Company cranking for the credits when you pick the correct ending and jump back forward in time, was perfect icing on the early 2000s cake)

My fave RPG of all time Final Fantasy X, has the worst mission with fighting Seymour Flux on the mountain. This boss literally would cast a specific curse that could instakill your party if you’re not careful with almost every turn he takes. It is so frustrating when you are dealing average damage after grinding for levels and he can just drop your party in one go.

[@scottmarek277]

Even worse, to get the ultimate weapon for the main character (Tidus) you have to beat the chocobo trainer in an almost impossible race.

Thank you for dredging up that painful memory of Simpson hit and runs final mission. It took me so long to find the route and the exact right speed to get through it.

[@PoetsAges]

The final mission of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent had enemies that could see, and shoot, you behind cover. Took us weeks to beat it as kids. Still pissed off about that.

[@dukenukem2214]

I feel like the missions to get the final weapons in FFX should get at the very least a honorable mention. Dodging thunder perfectly 200 times in a row, play an insane amount of Blitzball against stupid KI and how about perfect score in a race on a chicken which runs in random directions? I completed them all. But damn, this was pure pain.

[@Stealth47Murder]

Learned on a later playthrough that you can bait the thunder by stepping in and out of a crater near a tower, makes the thunder prédictible and way less painful But yeah the first time I did it I nearly broke my controller when I missed one at around 170 thunder crashes T_T

[@dukenukem2214]

I knew the trick. It still takes like half an hour of constant concentration. One second of distraction and you can start all over again. My problem with all of this super weapon activities in FFX is, it is just nonsensical. It makes no fun to step in and out of a crater for several hundreds of times. It's a waste of time. I have more fun when actually working.

[@JStryker47]

The mean old dragon boss in Medievil. You never know which tunnel he's going to stick his head through, there's a good chance it could be where you're standing - which would then cause you to get pushed into the chasm below, his fire breath attack does a TON of damage, you can't attack him directly with your weapons, and it's incredibly hard to get the crystals to fall on his head before he moves.

[@MlnscBoo]

I loved the epsilon missions, and the 2.4 million it gives you to break the game with stonk trading

[@Armand723jx]

I remember beating Breakdown on normal difficulty by just using the ability to slow time and combo your way out when overrun by waves of TLAN and big TLAN. of course it will drain your power stamina but the strategy there is to block your enemy attacks while mastering the timing combo of punching and kicking, because it will be hard enough and frustrating when an enemy gets too close knocking you down so just run around them on the pillar and used the time to slow while you hit the combo punching and kicking them will do the trick to beat them all.

[@SpaceMissile]

nice work. sounds super tedious though

[@Cyberdemon11120]

I beat The Simpsons Hit & Run when I was a kid and I honestly didn't have that big of an issue with the last mission. All I remember is that I lost the radioactive barrels once or twice, restarted the mission every time it happened because running back was pointless. You just have to make a perfect run from the Power Plant to the School and that just takes practice driving the route, which you can actually do during the rest of the missions in the area or just outside of missions while you explore the area and look at all the 'Treehouse of Horror' Episode references and Easter Eggs scattered about.

[@SamM6599]

Simpsons Hit And Run was obscenely difficult to beat! I managed to get through the whole game until that very final mission with little to no problem. Then I got to the last mission and used the infinite speed, no damage, one-hit explosion, and jumping car cheats just to beat it because if how ridiculous it was. So speed was never an issue, my car blowing up, having to race against another car isn't an issue since a small bump on their car instantly blows it up, and I can jump over most of the map. Only level I had to use cheats on, but it was worth it to keep my sanity. 😂😂😂

[@CKestus2187]

The part with the seal in Jak II where you have to drudge through the water slums. It’s an absolute pain and absolutely ruthless. If you fall in the water, you die instantly without any way to survive, and of course you can’t use the hoverboard either. It’s *possible* to cheese it but it’s difficult.

Sadly though he (Matt Smith) got 10K for ManicMiner (a lot when you're only 16) but when he wrote the sequel "Jet set Willy" at the time his dodgy as hell new 'manager' ripped him off regarding the game rights, and he also told me that he was 100% conned and never received a penny for the sequel...

I think that toy plane mission in GTA gave me PTSD, when Falcon started talking about it I remembered that time it took me like 50 tries to shoot down all the targets just to run out of fuel on the way back...

[@sadiemae7740]

Omg I beat simpsons hit run. when I saw the title of this video the first thing I thought of was that last mission!! I cried tears of joy when I finally beat it. The last phase of the mission is truly hell. you literally have to take every short cut perfectly, and make every turn perfectly! While being aggressively attacked by the men in black. Truly Hell!!!

[@TheLeetCasualGamer]

When I replayed Mass Effect trilogy and got to ME3. First time I did the doppelganger quest. I was playing Vanguard and it made the fight hell. Evil Shepard spammed charge on me which removed shields every time, insanely cheap, and I was just on hardcore difficulty.

[@angelganon8213]

It's even worse with engineer

[@TheREALHugo4]

Just imagine it on Insanity difficulty.

[@tarille1043]

That mission was nasty... Took me a while to beat it first go around on Insanity. I was playing Infiltrator...

[@severeweather4161]

I agree with the Gravemind pick! Though the 2 hardest portions were the beginning and the prison.

[@mikerrnm]

I actually played through Heart of The Reich on WaW veteran difficulty a few months ago and I don’t think it was as bad as what people said it was. I even played it with keyboard and mouse, which I was a rookie at lol

Finishing the second arena in Taras Nabad master level was the last time i played doom eternal before uninstalling, i was simply exhausted in every way

[@kiiwikiori7542]

I played Doom Eternal on Switch. I've beat the game and DLCs on Nightmare on that console. The Super Gore Nest master level spawns so many enemies it becomes unplayable on any difficulty, so I couldn't finish it :(

Dude I LOVED breakdown as a kid. I actually bought a copy last year just to have. I gotta play it again knowing that it has "enhanced features" I accept the challenge of beating it on series X. Highly recommend for people looking to play older games that were good but unpopular. One of few games with Japanese devs made exclusively for Xbox

Disarming bombs underwater in 2 minutes while navigating through electric plants with horrible hit detection on TMNT 1 for the NES... It's a childhood trauma.

[@bpdmf2798]

You should lookup the breakdown somebody did here on youtube that goes into the code and how the sprites, animations, glitches, etc all combined to make that level suck. I "just" memorized it and had no problem after like 2 years playing it as a kid.

Surprised that the GTA vice city helicopter building explosion mission isn't here, Great video though.

Thanks

[@nanach6276]

That was one hell of a shitshow. I played it with both the controller and the keyboard at the same time to beat it. With just keyboard it was impossible

[@teejay4034]

The key to that mission was too start at the top(and with it the farest target) of the building, and always go to the farest until you have done. So the time didn't run out.

[@tyrantm7]

Im just happy to see Breakdown in more videos. Beat it a few times over on OG Xbox. One of the first games I've played that had an accurate reload system and I absolutely love the survival horror aspect of the beginning compared to the ending when you are just punching your way through the mutants that hunted you early on.

[@mikespike2099]

You should do 10 hard stages that are hard and annoying in normal difficulty… we all know cranking some games to hard means torture… that’s what “Hard or Master” means!!!!

Unlocking invincibility in Goldeneye. Facility on 00 Agent under 2:05 mins. What a crucible and taught you speed run to perfection.

[@77professional]

Wrong, the final level of Far Cry is not that bad. The level earlier when you get thrown out of a helicopter with only a rifle and ten bullets (at least four of which you will use immediately), is an absolute nightmare as you try to run and hide your way to safety.

[@Thegrandtheftmaster105]

The escort mission from Destroy All Humans 2, where you have to escort natalya to Soho in Albion. First, Cryptosporidium has to defend her and escort her on foot. The health bars are overpowered in the game, but one unintended explosion and she's dead. Once you complete that, you have to escort her while she's driving her car and you defend her with your ufo, but not only do you have to literally keep enemies coming from every direction off of her, you have to keep up your health by draining vehicles, but you also have to move any vehicle that gets stuck in her way, and if it's your first time playing it, you're going to be in a world of hurt. It's probably not as bad as the rest on the list, but it's awful. If you don't believe me, try it, it'll remind you how awful escort missions are.

That GTA RC plane mission challenged my mental health. My friend and I were talking about it the other day. The lines "Launch the Red Barron!" And "Nooooo hohohoho ooooo" every time you crash. I flung so many controllers and never want to see that mission again.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

2:34 damn the AI even out here shooting bodies lmfao

[@SquarePenix.]

There’s a level at Taco Bell where you get diarrhea everytime you eat their burrito. To finish it, you have to eat the burrito and immediately take a laxative before the diarrhea takes effect. Sadly because of the high frame rate in modern day real life, it becomes nearly impossible to beat this level.

[@Heyybrowusup]

Supply lines in gtasa is actually a fairly easy mission if you know what you're doing. The plane can coast almost indefinitely without using any fuel so the only time you really need to use fuel is when getting up to altitude. I replayed gtasa a couple months ago on the ps2 version and beat the mission 2nd try.

[@crimsonraen]

I remember playing the game AC For Answer back when it came out, the final mission on the one arc "Occupation of Arteria Carpals" was absolutely brutal. Have to fight 4 mechs or 5 on hard mode. I spent hours getting slaughtered. I've thought about trying it again now that I'm older and wiser.

[@cajunag]

I haven't played it as an adult, but the mission in Shenmue where you had to defeat 70 enemies one right after another was the bane of my existence during my childhood. And on top of that, if you died, the memory card display on the Dreamcast controller would taunt you with the number of enemies you managed to make it through before dying.

[@JamesBrown-xg9nt]

The one that was torture for me - the battle with Mr Freeze in Arkham City. That battle took me DAYS to figure out. And even after I figured out that I couldn't use the same attack twice, it took awhile and many many deaths.
