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.

[@adityarai5861]

Thank God I play games on easy difficulty. My hardest was last enemy in Deadpool or last driving mission in dying light the following where you had to cross the whole map

[@TheChilipepper77]

what else would it be?

[@jephyin]

@@PongoDaMan better/smarter bots

[@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.

[@danielrea9611]

Any mission that has a long unskippable cutscene is torture!

[@snakefriesia6808]

yeah i agree.. having to watch a cutscene over and over because you fail the mission and get no other option but to retry.. while they keep replaying the cutscene.. utter torture

That Spider-Man level unlocked a core memory of mine. I remember playing this as a kid and it took me days to complete it. I’m glad I’m not the only one that was seriously tortured by that level

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.

That bit on Gears 1 with the first Berserker. On any difficulty Dom just gets folded again, and again, and again. Having to reload the checkpoint when you didn’t even do anything wrong is a pain in the ass

The Path of Pain in Hollow Knight. You understand that everything you have to do is possible with the abilities that you have, but they're strung together so precisely that you're going to spend hours white knuckling the controller until you get it down

[@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.

[@Gatorade69]

Yeah, I believe I essentially drove it on the ground.

[@Beanibirb]

You know what else makes it painful? Those missions aren't even required to beat the game

[@GuyFromJupiter]

Back when I was a kid I played that Spider Man game all the time, but the level that gave me the most trouble was the stealth level in Ocsorp. I always got caught by a guard, and maybe I just didn't realize you could just hide from the robots, but once I heard that alarm sound I knew it was over. Also, those robots were freaking scary as a kid! I had nightmares about that mission lol.

[@D4rkKn1ght311]

I got stuck on Spiderman 2 Mysterio level. To this day, I've never finished it. The words "Spiderman I don't know how you've made it this far but its time to get serious about dealing with this citys pest problem" are burned into my brain.

[@marccasalini1674]

Same that mission was hard asf lol. It was spooky as a kid.

[@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.

[@Darksaige]

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.

[@danieldevito6380]

I'll never forget trying to get through the "Red Line" section in Max Payne. I died a million times trying to get past that part.

[@maxpayne930]

Good times

[@D4rkKn1ght311]

Max Payne was "Pain" the worst part was reloading a save before you died essentially made the enemies harder each time. Adaptive difficulty sucks man.

[@D4rkKn1ght311]

The blood maze areas were also a nightmare.

[@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.

[@MrSkullhead0]

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.

[@puckguts7728]

Breakdown was an obsession for me as a kid. I never got that far into the game but the hand to hand fighting was so good for the time I would wake up extra early for school just to have more time to play before I had to leave for the bus. Good memories!

[@apcsox]

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)

[@Goldenkitten1]

I can't believe they actually brought this game up. I was obsessed with it too and this was the game I would show friends along with Halo when asked what good console exclusives there were.

[@rjgaynor8]

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.

[@MlnscBoo]

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

[@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.

[@legofan6559]

While I never played them I heard there are two missions that should have been included: Wrong Side of the Tracks from one of the GTA games and then there was once with collecting feathers in one of the assassin creed games

[@theunknownstuntman4010]

"You can get through this level with skills and a whole lotto patience" That's me knackered then lol

[@gameranxTV]

😅

[@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.

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.

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.

I loved that game, that and it's sequel were my favourite 'speccy' games back then... Oddly though - some years later I got a job as a "Games Tester" the company I worked at (Runecraft) head-hunted the guy who wrote the game Matthew Smith, because they thought he owned the legal rights to Manic Miner as they wanted to revamp the game and make a version of it for the PS1... 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...

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. It’s one of the most difficult missions in one of the most difficult and unforgiving games on the PS2.

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.

Really helps if you start each wave with a full charge blast (hold RT) since it will slow the enemy it hits, taking them outta the fight.

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.

[@louiearredondo5630]

Great video. Can’t wait for a part 2!!!

I like that they are starting to release their daily videos alot earlier so I can start my day with Gameranx

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.

[@tralhas]

@@bpdmf2798 Yeap, I saw that video :)

[@torgranael]

I'll admit it's been a while but most of the footage for Call of Duty: World at War appears to be taken during Downfall instead of Heart of the Reich. Heart of the Reich takes place entirely within the Reichstag with the clip of the commissar yelling "Show courage... Show strength... Show pride... But show NO mercy." being mere seconds after the mission starts, with the exception of the final roof segment (which may or may not be a cutscene depending on what platform you play on).

Honorable mention to the third and forth Daragun fights in The Bouncer. They are incredibly tough and they are fought back to back with the same health pool throughout. I’ve never broke so many controllers on a boss in the entire 6th console generation.

[@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

[@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...

[@H0lyMoley]

"Painkiller"'s forest level. Just managing to meet the requirements you need to actually unlock it is torture enough (remember trying to get all the secrets in the Venice-themed level anyone?) But then you get to the actual forest, and... my lord. I think it took me three weeks of playing an hour or two every night to finally beat this one. On the plus side, it has some of the best fight music I've heard in a game. A good thing too 'cause you'll hear a lot of it.

[@burningsheep4473]

Requirements? I thought you just needed to be on Trauma difficulty?

[@jasonhutchins20]

So I’m one of those doom psychos that did this on ultranightmare. My girlfriend even shared in the accomplishment after days and days of jumping in and attempting, and explaining how wild this was. She was pumped. I was pumped. But then you feel weird that it’s over and you worked so hard on something that is kind of meaningless lol

[@fatmanpez]

the majority of the Plutonia Experiment in Final DOOM was meant to be Flesh Tearing hard and tedious, Hunted in particular even made you look at a cage of 2131234342 Archviles in the entry area that all teleport as soon as you open the door.

[@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!!!!

[@guyinapandasuit2691]

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

[@Someone_on_youtube_app]

The vice city rc helicopter mission and san andreas train chase were hell.

[@gameranxTV]

Yep

[@Moneyybagg_Lu]

That 1 temple (forgot the name) in Final Fantasy XV that'll take a normal person no less than 6 hours to complete 😭 going up and down all those floors which is also a maze for a lame reward lol Square Enix is villainous

[@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.

[@alejandrodiazmera2650]

Oh God, the mission of the Green Goblins bombs. You unlocked a memory buried deep in my mind. I remember playing some Spiderman game as a kid that was really cool, sometimes a bit demanding but overall affordable and suddenly reach some mission with some bombs in the city put by Green Goblin. And I didn't get past that, I wasn't able and my child mind thought that maybe I was doing something wrong or that my way of solving the mission was incorrect (I had the game in English and with that age I was only able to understand bassic English so I progressed the way I could so I thought maybe I wasn't understanding anything that was asked to me). Anyway, at the end and after many but many tries my child patience reached his limit and dropped the game (I wonder where it ended).

[@skilldeadly8888]

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.

[@kentuckyjerk323]

The mission in Ghost of Tsushima where you have to poison the milk is hard. It's 100% stealth and if you get spotted - start over .

[@tubebammy]

That mission was easy. Probably because I love using stealth. So I guess Im biased.

[@rylie341]

Your soppose to use the roof tops there’s a path for you to take basically the entire way. That’s funny you said that because I just played that level like a couple hours ago. Very good game one of the best Iv ever played

[@tubebammy]

@@rylie341 exactly bro like that shit was extremely easy.

God I loved Breakdown. It was sooooo far ahead of its time. A modern proper release and remaster would be amazing.

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

[@ytatrecus]

I was looking in the comments if there are also players struggling in Batman Arkham Knight's DLC Catwoman's Revenge. The part of the mission where The Riddler sends an army of robots to you and the arena has an electrifying floor that minimizes your area of movement is pure torture.

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.

[@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!!!

[@JamesBrown-xg9nt]

Love your content 😊

[@henryhaskin9012]

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.

[@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.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

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

[@bonkyouded]

I didnt have a hard time with gravemind on legendary. All you need is patience throughout the 5 waves i think it was. At the start run back left and after that try and reach the exit door, on the sides of it are cover which the enemy doesnt push past. After that you just peak and shoot.

[@TB-yq6ew]

Thank you for mentioning the hit & run mission. Jesus that killed a year of my childhood 😂
