Is there a game/level you just can't complete?
Discussion
Much less these days - games are made much easier now (or have easier difficulty options) so that all players can experience the whole story. I remember back in the old days that some games were virtually impossible, with very limited save points and a low number of lives.

There were quite a few games I couldn't complete back when I was 8 on my old Amstrad. Wanting to defeat them and have the final say, I revisited a few of these recently and even with another 30 years experience still got stuck (often at the same point). Perhaps I'm just rubbish.
My most frustrating game's were Eye Of The Beholder 1 & 2. I think it was 2 where I got stuck/lost in a dungeon and I just couldn't find my way out...spending ages trying. I still have those saved amiga games in the loft.

Abe's Odd World. The most annoying game possible.
The only recent one was Witcher 3. It's fantastic, the story and graphics brilliant, but I found that the in depth RPG was just too far in depth for me. It takes hours upon endless hours, which was enjoyable at first but wore away with time and I barely discovered the majority of the game. I couldn't leave it for a week and come back to it or jump in for half hour and make progress so I gave it up.

Almost every pint-and-click adventure ever. Especially Lucasarts'. I never realise you have to combine the hamster with the rubber pipe and use the whole thing to unlock a vase which opens a portal to the kitchen....
LOL.. I liked that. Monkey Island (finding the sword master..) I didn't know to follow the shop keeper so I had to work out the crazy maze all by myself. Took a LOT of wrong turns till I lucked it out.Oddworld - Abes Odyssey: I managed to complete it when it became one of the free games for PSN+ on PS4. Took me A LOT to get past some of the tricky jumping over mines and so on at the end. Having just co
Dark Souls: I went through the whole game never parrying and the final boss is much easier beaten if you parry. I gave up. Completed DS2 twice and DS3 twice and Bloodborne including DLC twice but not gone back to finish DS1 yet. I will do though :-)

The older I get the more easily I give up.
I used to worry away at games that foxed me, now I just think "sod this" and go back to a game I know.
It's this that stopped me buying FPS: several in a row, I'd hit an obstacle, switch the game off and never get round to going back.
I think Doom 3 may have been the first - when you go in to Hell and meet that big boss.
