[@dr.zoidburger7515]

I feel like the best games always have that one mission in an otherwise not too hard game where you just remember it like "....that mission... fuck that mission"

[@cshift620]

Absolutely! Don’t even get me started about Goldeneye’s Aztec level. I was so close to adding that one to the list, but I figured that playing through it again wasn’t worth the headache lmao

[@oversleep9920]

Idk how to say this, but your videos are very nostalgic to me. I feel like I'm 11 again watching Caddicarus and PeanutButterGamer. Keep up the good work!!

[@limbobilbo8743]

I was literally out here like “ah some classic old video game topic videos” then i saw its like 2 months old

[@ryanrogers2444]

reminds me of scott the woz lol

[@genericfriend2568]

You deserve how the algorithm seems to be promoting you, you're a funny individual.

[@claudespeedx9860]

The toy plane mission in GTA San Andreas. The croc mini game in Donkey Kong 64. leveling in Westfall in classic wow lmao

[@cshift620]

Dang, we actually both had a similar idea when it came to frustrating levels lol

[@claudespeedx9860]

@@cshift620 I see, you’re a man of culture :)

[@nerfnothin2891]

I’m surprised you didn’t cover the world of light Pauline spirit level for smash ultimate that uses the 75m stage. This level is incredibly frustrating because you have to defeat an enemy who runs away from you on extremely bad terrain. Even after cranking the difficulty down to freaking very easy (baby mode) i still had trouble with the time limit

[@JaXonSlade]

People played that shit?

[@maidenreligion12]

I think the only reason I beat it was because Mario just killed himself. So I only had to worry about DK.....really didn't help that I played as Kirby, though.

[@KayrenGT]

The SpongeBob Movie Game has a level called Planktopolis, it’s the third to last area of the game and is brutal. The level is a gauntlet composed of mind-numbing colors with tough platforming and is the only level that contains the most annoying enemy called “MERV” (not to be confused with Mini-MERV that are significantly less annoying)

[@conormckeever805]

This video came up on my recommended video and I was halfway through the video before I noticed your sub and view count. Based on the high quality, clean editing and fun commentary, I was expecting it to have much bigger numbers. Keep this sort of quality up and I have no doubt that will become the case! Great video

[@cshift620]

Thank you so much! More videos will be on the way soon! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@ThereminElectro]

I've recently discovered and been binging your channel. And have to say, I don't even view your videos as list videos because the editing, pacing, script, and how UNHINGED (in a good way) your videos are separate yourself from list videos. So damn well done, huge props

[@SpiderNightcrawler]

The most frustrating ones are the ones that slightly inconvenience me. For real though, Stormy Ascent is such a headache. It's an utter nightmare to try to complete.

[@cshift620]

Yeah, when I was recording some footage for Stormy Ascent, it took me a good 45 minutes to finally beat it, which is a confession that I’m ashamed to admit lol😂 But still, I’m just glad I managed to eventually beat it

[@Yokosoui]

high quality and entertaining content/commentary, love it, def looking forward to more content from you!

[@cshift620]

Oh gosh thank you so much for the support! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@dom5179]

Grateful your channel showed up randomly on my feed today, amazing videos dude!! Hope im not alone and you are ab to blow up

[@cshift620]

Oh gosh, thank you so much! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video! I really hope so too! I greatly appreciate the support! :)

[@frogace55]

One thing about 75M that makes it worse: The Ultimate mission for Pauline. 2 Minutes to KO an enemy that runs away from you, while dealing with her hyper aggro DK bodyguard.

[@fuck_youtube_handles]

ive had many times where i couldnt complete a level in a rhythm game but still thought 'well it is at least a good level, i just cant do it' but finding out that its not even your fault is just so frustrating knowing that you'd have never figured that out yourself

[@rker]

why do you hate youtube handles

[@fuck_youtube_handles]

@@rker because handles can’t have heart symbols but usernames can, so i wish it would just display my username like it used to

[@rker]

why would you want heart symbols in your name

[@fuck_youtube_handles]

@@rker idk cause its cute

[@tylerbradley2957]

Another one I want to add the Race from Mafia I Despise it and who ever made it should be jailed 😂

[@cshift620]

That was another level that I was considering adding to the list. I remember playing it years ago and was absolutely infuriated at whoever designed it lmao

[@plebisMaximus]

Why the FUCK do the cars only weigh 10 grams?

[@tylerbradley2957]

@@plebisMaximus Dude I swear screw that mission

[@nihl2204]

keep up the good videos. algorithm did good showing me your channel :)

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

The Demolition mission wasn’t so bad for me, but the plane missions such as the one where you have to drop down fliers for that one “filmmaker” was so bad thanks to the awful control and having to fly towards ground-level in a city.

[@tomlamb9943]

The one where you have to drop bombs on boats from an RC plane was the worst one for me.

[@ArcadianWaheela]

I’d say I have pretty good problem solving skills, but the Petrified Forest in Grim Fandango would definitely stop me.

[@cshift620]

Yeah, Grim Fandango has some notoriously difficult puzzles, but trust me, the experience is worth it! It’s a fantastic game, just keep the IGN guide within viewing distance lol

[@WhileyCoyote]

Got flashbacks as soon as that damn goat popped up on screen, loved the game, but that goat can do one. 😂😂

[@coreykelley9441]

I never had trouble with Demolition Man, even as a kid. Use the blades to take out the workers and it's piss easy. I always liked the helicopter controls in GTA, that terrible RC plane level was SO much worse lol

[@Creep187SAas]

Your content is really great! Hope you get a lot more views :-)

[@HeadlessX]

this channel is a treasure trove, the algorithm out did itself

[@redmoose1447]

i'm a big fan of point and click adventures. sam and max hit the road; day of the tentacle; beavis and butthead in virtual stupidity (its surprisingly good) were some of my favourites.

That intro was straight game journalist mode XD

[@MaxwellReff]

As soon as i saw the video title i said “he probably won’t say it, but freaking Beaver Bother” boy is my face red

[@NickoTHPS]

a level people struggle on at times was Airport from the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 5th Gen port, for N64 and PS1. The newer gen version isn't hard at all, but in this version we have Big Drop which is practically fall damage. This was removed after Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for a reason.

Grim Fandango is probably my favourite game of all time but damn, that petrified forest. It's a pretty short segment if you know what you're doing, but if you don't...

[@KiwiPaws76]

I'm surprised Saints row 1 "interigaton mission" with you holding a vice kings member out your window was not in this video

Its you again! Epic.

No you’re epic ;)

@@cshift620 congrats on 1k subs.

[@cshift620]

Thank you so much!

[@ScringleScrobble]

I wholeheartedly agree with Wonderland. It legit made me stop playing the game entirely, I found it super frustrating and tedious.

[@rogerlamvert9378]

I hate the mission in dead rising 2 where you have to follow the underground train thing on the motorcycle It’s so buggy and pisses me off so badly

[@swempytimes]

An Orgazmo reference 🤣

[@Anijah2001]

It's sad that even the greatest games have at least that 1 level everybody hates.

[@Snackolotl]

I played Kingdom Hearts for the first time this year and I gotta say I think Deep Jungle is harder than Wonderland, but Wonderland isn't a great start. Also, no idea how you struggled with Trickmaster. Maybe I was smart enough to gear out my party well, but I was disappointed that he went down so easy.

[@morfy2581]

Really good video. Love the idea. Except the intro. You started speaking so late that I almost clicked off thinking it's a silent clip reel. Starting with an example without commenting can totally work but like, you had already shown 4 games before you started talking. I hated that Demolition Mission in Vice City

[@cshift620]

Thank you for watching! I really appreciate the feedback, and in hindsight, maybe the intro was a little bit overkill lmao😂 But thank you for the respectful and constructive criticism! And yeah, Demolition Man is an absolute chore to go through lol

[@paradoxxikal7327]

Is it weird that I find stormy ascent a lot of fun?

[@dary0097]

Armored Core 6 , Ice worm battle should be here 😅

[@persona3rulez]

Wonderland? Maze? I thought it was a corridor! Seriously, to me it's just a corridor with two appendixes: the left one you'll clearly need some new abilities and the right one you'll have to either return for it later or try to frame perfect your jumps and attacks to barely reach whatever was there. Though I agree that it's rather boring and the puzzle with lighting up candles was a bit too puzzling.

[@benthecat4345]

Helicopter controls have never been the best in terms of controlling aircraft, push the stick too far in any direction and you're going to be a splat on the ground or in a building, and that's just to move outside of going up and down

[@chummy_lectern]

Surprised The Chasm from Doom II wasn't included. Almost destroyed me.

[@hgs09]

How Rayman went under the radar on a list like this, is impressive.

[@MaxwellReff]

Because that whole game is an experience in frustration, not just any one level

[@hgs09]

@@MaxwellReff honestly... that's fair 😆

[@MommyMinty]

We played the Donkey Kong Stage in Smash Bros a lot. Why? Who knows.

[@louised6731]

I loved grim fandango as a kid. But I never would have completed it without a guide. I never liked the monkey island games I found those too hard

[@Salem-Sins]

My conspiracy theory is that shift C and Great Blue are the same guy. They sound very similar and the videos are put together very similarly. Maybe they aren’t the same guy but I’ll always believe they are. The only difference is that i like c shift more :3

[@lindseyparker2492]

The outfoxies created the platform foighter. Not smash.

0:11 Why would you use footage from the worst version?

[@cshift620]

That’s actually a fair point lol. In hindsight I probably should’ve just stuck with footage from the original versions

[@theonlybilge]

@@cshift620 Good idea. Also, you don't need to cut out the background audio when you tell a joke, it makes it rather predictable.

[@TheRageLivesOn]

Demolition Man is certainly an interesting choice for a “frustrating level”. you have way more than enough time to do it and even if you kill all of the workers for the trophy you still have more than enough time. Vice City has plenty more missions that i would call frustrating over Demolition Man

[@Spectrum0122]

Half of the elden ring dlc....

[@orangejjay]

Crash Bandicoot convinced people to buy a PlayStation? I'm gonna guess you weren't around to pick one because that's flat out untrue. Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid was the game to bring people onto it. I'd bet some could make the same argument for Tony Hawk as well.
