What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?

Be it a game that's difficult in its entirety, or a particular challenge in a game that you just couldn't complete.

For me, there are three that come to mind:

  • Super Hostile: Waking Up (Minecraft Custom Map, Hard difficulty). That damn water section...
  • Terraria Zenith Mode. Coming from someone to whom Master Mode is fairly easy, this was rough.
  • Calamity Death Mode (Terraria). I beat DoG (this was back when a headshot was an automatic death), but I just could not click with the Yharim fight. I also think burnout was at play here because that was a LONG playthrough.

Bramble: The Mountain King

I ragequit half way through the final boss after having died for the thirtieth time. The game is absolutely beautiful, but fuck me some of it is tough.

Ended up watching the last bit on YouTube. No regrets.

Thanks for the unintentional recommendation.

Oh, it's a stunning game, and I absolutely adored it. But that final boss is an utter prick.

I doubt that I'll ever get that far. I used to play games on "hard" difficulty and explore/find everything. Today I'm just glad if I find the time to play, have fun and enjoy the games, even if I need to play on "easy" difficulty. All the completionist aspirations are gone.
