So I'm on the last boss of Gradius 4, a game I've been playing since I was about 10, and I've never been this far, ever. I HAVE TO BEAT IT. But it's so fucking retardedly difficult, I feel like I've been punched in the dick repeatedly. It got me thinking, what are the least satisfying or most frustrating games you've played, and why?

[Zerothemaster]

Mega Man Xtreme for GBC.

I can only beat Ice Penguin and Storm Eagle.

I suck at platformers.

for clarity this game falls under the category of least satisfying

[AngelCityOutlaw]

Ninja Gaiden III was so unsatisfying that I wanted to hit every member of Team Ninja in the face with a shovel. Twice.

[zircon]

League of Legends

For me, If a game is so god awful, I immediately stop playing it. End of story. As such, I have never had any memorable experience with any sort of games like that.

Except for that fucking Zapdos from Pokemon Red/Blue. That goddamn Zapdos, lack of a Master Ball, and a Catch Rate of 3 is the most frustrating, aggravating single event in my entire life. I was crying for hours (I was a child mind you :D)

Now it's Gradius 3. Fuck this game, seriously. They start you off slower than shit, and I'm at a level that you can't even cheat to get past because there are exactly 1,000,000,000 flying rocks hitting you in the face that go through force fields, and when you shoot them, they split into three. What the fuck were the level designers thinking?

And I can't stop playing a frustrating game... especially this one, because I started playing when I was a kid, and EVERY game was hard then. So now, I'm all serious'd about it, and there's no fucking way anyone ever enjoyed either of these Gradius games past level 2

Arcade Gradius III?

I made it past level two once. But only once.

Phonetic Hero, it's clear you never made it to the final boss of Gradius 4, because if you did you certainly wouldn't be complaining about difficulty.
