This. I gave up on the last mission too because I accidentally saved when a security bot threw a granade at me and died every time I loaded it.

Resident Evil 0. Hell, I have yet to beat an RE game as something ALWAYS happens to impede my progress. >_<

Its one of the worst and one of the hardest RE games.

Not the hardest to me. I only couldn't beat the final boss.
Hardest to me was3 for some reason.
One day I WILL get my hands on the RE 2 remake and beat that.

Definitely recommend RE2 Remake, one of my favorite games.

It's actually my favourite RE :( I thought it had better puzzles than the other games in the series

I left RE Code Veronica unfinished for the longest time because I was so done with the stupid smashy puzzle and ridiculous “run away from the big monster” sequence that immediately follows it. Imagine my chagrin when I came back to it five years later and discovered that all that was left was the final boss and about thirty minutes of cutscenes.

Danganronpa V3 has an awful minigame where you get an achievement for getting a very high score on the hardest difficulty. It requires a lot of thinking, patience AND luck and if you mess up even a little you have to start over (for those of you who know my pain, it's Treasure Hunter Monolith). I'm not uninstalling the game until I get the achievement but I have no idea how I'm even supposed to do it since I just get angry and quit the game when I try.

Your willpower must be made out of space-age aeronautics material. There's no way in hell I'd try for that achievement.
You achievement hunters are a scary bunch, and yet in times like these you have my genuine pity.
Good luck, I guess? :s
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, it's terrible. It's a tedious game to achievement hunt too, I think 50 of my total 100 hours on the game is just getting achievements that you couldn't get from the story.
Only this one left though. Thanks for the support, I definitely need it :(

Chrono Trigger. I was getting sick of the grinding before the last boss, stopped playing and never picked it up again. I also never finished Crisis Core, I was halfway through when I accidentally wiped most of data on the disk. I recovered a lot but not the Crisis Core save files.

Weird, I don't remember ever grinding once in Chrono Trigger.

I don't remember too much anymore but it's for the final fight with Lavos I think. I was drifting from playing games because of school, and I was just bad at this game in general. Though I remember liking the story, maybe I should play it again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, it's been a while for me too, but I remember it being pretty straightforward and not having to grind at all. Some of the fights were challenging, but I don't remember it being too hard - I may have had to try some fights a 2nd or 3rd time, but it was certainly easier than some of the fights you'd find in Final Fantasy that did require grinding or special prep. Part of it may also depending on when you chose to fight Lavos, since, iirc, some times make the fight harder than others.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same, here, can't remember grinding...but I guess I did trying to unlock all the dual and triple techs for every possible team combination while playing. The Queen was harder than the Lavos boss for me

I was pretty bad at the game, I think I didn't use the combo attacks much. Also I was trying to complete all the side quests whch added to the frustration.

Ys Origin, I'm at the damn final boss but I wasted the spirit necklace that revives you once if you die without even noticing and saved the game :s
Comment has been collapsed.
I played that game in hard and almost every boss was a pain, I spent like at least 5-10h more to beat the game because I choose to play in hard, compared to Ys Oath of Felghana where I played in normal and everything was going ok.
Comment has been collapsed.
Played in hard as well, you're damn right every boss was hours and dozens of attempts, no ragrets tho, it's a great game, I just can't manage to push myself for the last fight ><
Comment has been collapsed.
The bosses also got extra attacks, spells, and other things, not just damage or health.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ys: The Oath in Felghana, since Dark Souls 3 was releasing at the time I was finishing the game, I stopped playing it, even if the only thing to do was defeating the last boss, even if he wasn't that hard, I told myself to come back later, but I still didn't.
Cave Story+, boss was pretty hard with many phases and it was too annoying and not fun to retry many times to defeat him.
Soul Calibur VI, in Arcade Mode the boss of the game Inferno appears there on Legendary difficulty, which can be unlocked by previously beating Arcade in Very Hard, and he was super hard, especially because of his damage, hyper armor and the fact that you have to win 3 rounds against him, and winning just one is already very hard, I couldn't do more than one, and I was really tired, and I just didn't want to spend more time than I already did, also probably Amy was not the best character to defeat him easily.
The Talos Principle, I was too exhausted to play more to beat the latest zone or levels.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't forget in Cave Story that the final boss is actually TWO bosses back to back. So if you're not absolutely PERFECT on the first fight, you can forget surviving the 2nd.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have one last star left in The Talos Priciple, hanging over the oasis, taunting me. I will go back and get it someday, but hell if I can figure out how. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I've got a similar issue with Ys: The Ark of Naphishtim. It's got a reputation for the bosses being harder than usual in the series, and I got stuck at the second-to-last boss.
Figured I'd take a short break and try again a few days later, but never got around to returning to the game because of reasons. In the meantime, I did beat the rest of the series as far as they're available on Steam, so there's that...

<--self-appointed cheerleader You can do it! I'm not great at coordination, but I managed to beat the game three times (once in English, twice in Japanese w/subtitles). I hate that #&%@ dash, though! lol~

Crusader Kings II.
I can conquer the whole world somewhere between 1100 and 1200, and just can't slog the last two hundred + years to reach the end

You know, I've played thousands of hours of Paradox games, but don't think I've ever reached the end date in a single one... Some day I should leave one running at max speed in a window and ignore it, just so I can say I've seen the "time's up" screen, whatever it looks like... :)

the annoying thing is that there's a converter to EUIV, but, it "makes assumptions" if you don't finish the game
Comment has been collapsed.
Oho, interesting... That sounds vaguely familiar but (obviously) I've never tried it... :)
Hmm, is there one to convert that EU game to Victoria? That would be one long dynasty...
Comment has been collapsed.
with CKII to EU4, EU4 to Vic 2, and Vic 2 to HOI4, your game can go from 769 to 1948 (and beyond)
Unfortunately, these don't get updated frequently enough, and from time to time you'll need to roll back your installation to an earlier version of the game for a conversion to be playable. Also, it's not unusual to have some very strange effects after converting, and some players recommend going into the file and making manual adjustments before starting the next game.
Edit: dammit, now I want to start a game of CKII with the intent of bringing it in to HOI knowing that I'll probably give up after a few hundred years, when I've conquered most of the known world

Lately I try not to run any Paradox games unless I'm willing to lose the whole day... :) Oh, unless it's some junky version 1.0 like https://store.steampowered.com/app/859580/Imperator_Rome/ - sigh. :)

Mortal Kombat - Shaolin Monks, final Boss Shao Khan, damn is he fucking hard. I just thought i got him down after million tries, had almost no Life anymore and was already very happy, till he came back for a second round with his Hammer. Damn, how many times i didnt wanted to play Mortal Kombat - Shaolin Monks anymore, cause there was always a Boss where i died thousand of times.
Was laying then for weeks around, till i wanted to play and i thought myself where i was and then that remembering, oh no there. Always same and then after first try, mostly, got the Bosses step by step. Except Shao Khan, never finished it. Only that damn Shao Khan is still to beat. ^^
And i just remember also a other Game i almost finished 100%.
Urban Chaos - Riot Response.
Awesome Game, some Levels are very difficult, special if want all Medals or so.
Normal Missions i got all complete on highest rating, just some Missions with a Time Limit, where you need to rescue a Person or so was it, if i remember it right.
Was long time ago as i played it last, but only few of that Time Limit stuff i need to finish.
The last Mission Level was also for me very hard, many tries till i got it. ^^

Wait, what? Was super fun and not difficult and also too short? Sure we played the same Game? :D

Some of the recent cases:
The Council - I thoroughly enjoyed the game for the first 4 episodes (binge played them, that's the only way to play episodic games for me), but then just didn't feel the need to play further. Didn't really get the reason for that: I mean, the game was pretty awesome, I did love its dense storytelling. But I ended up not knowing the resolution of the narrative. Weird.
Divinity: Original Sin 2. Once again, the game was 100% up my alley, but after I'd reached the last chapter, I suddenly felt the need to play something else for a bit. "Something else" turned out to be a complete The Witcher trilogy rerun, and that was it.
But I think I'll return to these two eventually. Start from the beginning in a couple of years.
The game I'll likely never give another chance is The Talos Principle. While there's definitely a touch of pure genius there, the game got way too associated with a personal loss for me (my cat died literally when I was playing The Talos Principle).
The case that'd tormented me for many years was The X-Files Game: pirated Russian version was bugged, there was no option to do the very last action in a game, so I only finally got the true ending in the mid-2000's.
Comment has been collapsed.
The Council was great and ended awful, they properly jumped the shark for literally next to no reason. Had a great murder mystery type vibe which ended up being some fanfic style writing for a psychological thriller.

I agree. I really liked the first 4 chapters, but the final one was a huge letdown for me.

100% completion failures
-
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - I missed 1 piece of heart, and I have no clue where is. The game doesn't keep track of specifically what piece of heart you collect so I will live on missing that 1 measly piece of heart.
-
Super Mario 3D World - I was able to beat the final level for Super Mario Galaxy 2 but for some reason I can't get even half way past the final level
General completion failure
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - I got stuck at show link and couldn't defeat him for some reason. At some point I lost my save file. I need to come back to it one day.

Mad Max for the last achievement. I basically completed the game too much for the achievement to be possible, which is stupid.
Mushroom 11, which has a really tough last level.
Hand of Fate, where the last boss is a total nightmare for me.

What is that Mad Max achievement?
I hate when games punish you for going above and beyond, but not the exact specific way they want you to. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
"Up to the Task" - Complete all non-repeating challenges.
Basically, if you advance enough in the game, then you'll lack enemies to take out in specific ways and so you'll softlock yourself out of the achievement.
It's the rarest achievement in the game. From a 2.2% down to 1.4%
Comment has been collapsed.
I assume it can't be resumed progress by restarting the game, or does that wipe away the progress?
Comment has been collapsed.
I remember mad Max. I too had the same problem. One challenge regarding killing enemies by using spikes of the car when they jump.the thing is I cleared the map 100% so no enemies were spawning. Then followed a YouTube guide that showed a spawn area when they spawn rarely it took me 15 hours just to kill 10 guys.

+1 for Mad Max, i enjoyed story and wasteland missions but some achievements are pure boredom. Never finished to upgrade car engine because of that

Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition
I just can't seem to beat the final boss. And a couple of the challenge levels. I should load that one up and give it another try, since it's otherwise a really fun game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hated that game for some reason. It wasnt really told what you should do in combat.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 to that. The game wasn't designed for keyboard/mouse but somehow I muddled through... until the final boss. I fully believe it's impossible without a controller.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think Guacamelee is actually one of the easiest platformers to beat with keyboard. Including the final boss. Took me quite a few tries but he's definitely beatable.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's an interesting opinion. I play all kind of platforming games on a keyboard, including precision platformers like Super Meat Boy, but I'd say that in most platformers it just comes down to preference. However Guacamelee is VERY clearly designed with a controller in mind (mainly because of the 360-degree throwing mechanic, but not only) and it's one of the very few games I plan to use a controller for.

Evoland lol The very last boss. Just couldn't beat it. I'd get close, but I could never do it

Damn, just wanted to add this with the same comment!!! I also think my weak gfx card at that time - that lead to massive slowdowns - made it impossible to win this damn fight. I later wanted to try again with a better gfx card... but this game had no cloud saves.

My shame is I Wanna Be The Guy. I stuck on the blackout final boss stage because I hardly saw anything on the screen. Oh, I should have reconfigured my monitor... I want to revisit it someday.

There is never any shame in giving up on 'rage' games. If anything it's kind of the opposite.
In one hand you get the bragging rights, but in the other you get an equal opposite reward of "I walked away from the thing, that probably says something good about my executive decision making ability" ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
tbh it wasn't given up, I just didn't return to the game because something distracted me (exams? Can't remember, it was a long time ago).
Actually, I'm very patient and can grind through same obstacles for hours, even if it's something like this.
I just really sorry I haven't finished IWBTG, because it's one of my favorite hardcore platforming games =\
I hope I can find someone else's savegame at the very end of the game to finish it
Comment has been collapsed.
I usually have that problem on games that are far easier to complete. I'll get neck-deep in a game but then due to some distraction I'll end up not playing it for a while, and then it gets hard to go back in again. Like, forgetting the important plot bits of the scenario I left off in, or just outright forgetting the controls and knowing I'll need to be kinda sharp with them.
Speaking of which, I really need to get back into Dragon's Dogma. Great game.

Final Fantasy XIII last boss, like damn, this game overall have broken difficulty progress, from like 10 to 11 chapter is from killing everything in 1 hit to get killed by everything in 1 hit, and last chapter is even worse, like damn i was avoiding every single enemy. Last phase of the boss is a trash show, i tried like 2-3 hours, after that was checking some tutorials in the net "how to beat this fucko" and from there i got info about something like I NEED a certain skill for Hope or this black guy Sazh like a buff or something like that. Remeber what i said about last chapter is even worse? Yeah right, i can't farm levels at this point because normal mobs was too hard and when i was trying to beat them i was wasting items what i of course can't buy and i need them for boss also. Basicly it was dead end for me and i didn't have save from 2-3 chapters earlier to fix this problem, so i gave up.
Comment has been collapsed.
I came here just to write about this game. Final Failure XIII
I also resigned before last boss.
But god, I’m so fed up with Final Fantasy XIII it’s go on “won’t play” pile after 37h. I won’t spend few tries and at least 15 - 20 min per one attempt to beat boss just because it has 3,5 mln HP. When I’ve beat few min earlier enemy with 1 mln HP in 2 min.

Batman: Arkham Asylum for 100% completion.
I mean, I could definitely do it, but the combat in the final 2-3 challenges got a bit annoying and I went "fuck this, I have better things to do". I think it was something about having to keep up a combo going while not getting hit but also the floor was regularly getting electrocuted, and basically the more boring and annoying parts of the game's combat system shined there.
Also DLC Quest and Braid for 100% completion.
Again, I could do them, but I really really don't like having to do speed runs. :D

disgaea, I kept going into the item world to make my ultimate weapons. I can probably beat the game easaly at this point but for some reason every time I play I just grind a bit more...
Comment has been collapsed.
Disgaea 1 was a grinding nightmare, or a grinders dream, depending on your flavour.
I still own my copy for the PS2 but lost the memory card with my save on it waaaay back. Apparently the other games did a way better job of taming that progression curve, and deal in other standalone subworlds / stories so you don't need to finish the first. And yet I still feel that little nag to go back and show it whos boss. I mean. Not that I will though.
Item world was pretty addictive though.
Comment has been collapsed.
played #1 for first time less than a year ago on DS? until save files gone :( item world was a big pain in the ass whenever its super random generation would put an enemy / item stat enemy impossibly far away that you literally couldnt do anything but just skip the current level.
Comment has been collapsed.
Games you nearly completed, but maybe a quest was too tough or the last boss beat you? I can start with a few:
Final Fantasy VII - never finished the last boss after trying a few times
Medievil 2 - also did not finish the last boss, too difficult
Limbo - some gravity related puzzle near the end was too difficult for me.
