Re: Most Frustrating Gaming Experience
Just finished Demon's Souls, which certainly had its moments. Two biggest ones are the Maneater boss fight and the Swamp of Sorrow. Every other challenging part of the game was at least somewhat fun for me. Maneater is a shitty boss fight because the arena is way too small and perilous (pretty sure it's the only one where you can get smacked off the edge and die) and fighting two of the fuckers at once is nigh-impossible. Took me four tries before I managed to separate them and kill 'em one at a time. The Swamp of Sorrow is a miserable level in general but the worst part is where you have to fight two giants at once on an island surrounded by toxic water; MUCH harder than the level's actual boss fight.

War Thunder. Just the entire game. I love it to bits but it can get extremely frustrating.

Re: Most Frustrating Gaming Experience
On base PS4, as a lifepath Nomad, I completed every available gig, sidequest, and story mission (also completing all endings & secret ending). Didn't buy a single car however. I got this gmae in on 1/1/2021 so I must say I enjoy a better post-patch first impression than many, but for such a beatiful environment I found myself more dissapointed than frustrated about how few mysteries and npc interactivity there was. The story missions and some sidequests themselves were strong but most of the gig based content was redundant, unchallenging, and lazy. Was met with very few glitches, bugs, and crashes and honestly none of them bothered me. My issue was more with the bulk of the content feeling so hollow and dated. I doubt I'll ever revisit this game. 6/10

Re: Most Frustrating Gaming Experience
You know, game demos are supposed to offer a taste of the experience that is to come, and make people interested in buying the end product...
They are NOT meant to scare people away and make them break their controllers in half, CAPCOM! So why do you keep making the demo flagships so impossible to handle? Between the atrocious aerial hitboxes, the obscene damage, and the ungodly strict fifteen minute timer and the fact the damn cat thing spawns at the very far end of the map, it's just impossible for me to even take him down. Why does it have to be this backbreakingly hard and cheap?

Re: Most Frustrating Gaming Experience
Honestly, a lot of Elden Ring. I was completely obsessed for most of 2022 but I've soured on the game a bit in the past couple months and finally stepped away from it. Part of it is general fatigue but I do think some parts of the game are so ridiculously difficult as to be obnoxious.
My #1 complaint about Elden Ring is that bosses have so damn many AOE attacks up their sleeves. I'd be okay with each of the big bosses having one of these attacks that they pull out once in awhile, but it feels like every major boss has several of them that they just spam relentlessly. Godfrey/Hoarah Loux is probably the worst offender. This was most likely added due the introduction of Spirit Ashes and increased focus on cooperative play but it makes many of the main bosses nigh-impossible if you don't have an ally. Beating FromSoft games solo, no summons, has been a fun challenge with the other titles I've played (Demon Souls, Bloodborne and DS3) but in ER, I had to summon either an Ash or a buddy if I didn't want to be stuck on every main boss for a week. "Git gud" was never this damn hard before, and I seriously think overpowered boss AOE attacks are 75% of the reason for that.
I'd also like to make special mention of the evergaol puzzle you have to solve just to get to Miquella's Haligtree. For fuck's fucking sake, what sadist designed that shit? If some sick bastard actually enjoys the challenge of getting arrow-spammed to death and backstabbed by invisible enemies while you try to scale buildings using clunky platforming mechanics, I'd be terrified to know what else they consider fun.

Re: Most Frustrating Gaming Experience
Ah, one of the most frustrating gaming experiences for 'ol MGB7503 was battling Jo Amon in Yakuza 5. He's this Matrix-looking secret boss in the majority of the series, but goddamn he was an absolute monster in Y5. I've defeated him in the other games, but everytime he's different. This time he was HYPER aggressive, would leave flames in his trails, if you backed away too far he'd rush to you with super speed, and was constantly in that rage mode that was popular in games back in the early 2010s. He practically had combos that could neither be blocked nor pushed through.
However....as Kiryu I persevered and eventually overcame this bastard. Best of all? I finished him with the legendary tiger drop, it was soooooooo satisfying. So, an overall frustrating experience still ended in a rewarding way. Great battle nonetheless, I must say.
