Metroid Prime 2, I had gone through all the main dungeons, but then there was some full-world collection quest before the final boss where stuff was maybe glitched and not showing up on my map? Found some of the keys just by exploring every room on the map, but...yeah, map keeps pinging the doorway room rather than the stuff I need to collect to open the door.

Fighting T-800's in Terminator: Salvation. Bought the game in a bargin bin for like five bucks, didn't expect anything special. It was fairly accurate from the movies in that killing the T-800's was damn hard. I was stuck on some staircase as a pair of them were moving up, must have tried for a couple hours to take them down before giving up.

No big loss, game was crap.

FFIV, revisit to the moon, suddenly realized I had to grind like 30 levels.

ToS2, hearing Emil talk. I tried again a year later only to hear Marta talk.

Those games killed the JRPG for me. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to stop playing JRPGs forever.

Honestly I hate the introduction of abilities. Also I raged when playing through the Gold remake when an alakazam had a fighting move that used SP atk. That was also a change I will forever hate, having every type be both physical and special.

Wow, if vastly improving on the game's mechanics makes you upset, why do you even buy the new games? Is it really that impossible to adapt on something changing in a game's sequel?

Anyway, the only moment that immediately comes to mind is the time in Spirit Tracks where you have to like, stop some guy from getting kidnapped on the train, and after like five attempts failing at it (not because I died but just because I didn't do it fast enough or whatever), I finally gave up on the game entirely. I already hated the game up to that point anyway.

Final Fantasy XII, where I was fighting Gilgamesh and I had my characters cast healing spells, and when the bar was filled, they would sit there in their casting animation instead of actually casting it. By the time they finally cast the spell, one of the other characters were dead. And they would keep doing this throughout the battle. Eventually I just gave up and never played the game again.

Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, The giant enemy crab boss.
Picked it up later and finished the game but for the longest time I didn't even bother touching it.

Resident Evil Mercenaries, When I reached the credits 3 hours into the game. Sold it a few days later. Such garbage.

GTA4, when I discovered driving in the game is like driving on ice all the time. makes chasing missions ****in annoying as s***.

FF12, About 2/3 the way through I discovered I'd been doing the same pattern of grinding for the entire game. Do a dungeon, watch a cutscene, grind levels and points, buy newest greatest gear for each character, repeat.

At some point in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow I came across a small room with a giant spider and several flying enemies. The camera positioned itself in such a way that I could either see the spider or myself, and seeing the enemies in the air was impossible no matter where I moved. After a few deaths owing to the fact that I couldn't see a damn thing, I decided that this was not a game that would be worth playing further.

Getting one hit killed by a fire breathing dragon in the first level of Demons Souls and being put back to the very beginning. That's not difficulty. The actual combat and all that was very simple. Just randomly put a thing that kills me and throw me all the way back. What a piece of crap.
