so I hate this part
[Music]
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten frustrating video game sections for
everyone gets stuck before we get your
blood pressure pumping we’d like to let
you know that we publish top 10 lists
every day so take this time to subscribe
to enjoyed more great content for this
list we’ll be taking a look at levels
puzzles and boss battles and video games
where there was a huge spike in
difficulty causing many players around
the world to become hopelessly stuck for
playing the same section over and over
or good luck number 10 the Hoth stages
super Empire Strikes Back may the force
be with you big time to get through
these levels alive from the moment the
game begins you are completely bombarded
by a ridiculous number of enemies that
either charge head-on or attack from a
distance to make matters worse you need
to move forward and time jumps with
extreme caution as there is a higher
chance of falling into an instant death
pit as opposed to landing on safe ground
games from these 16-bit era are
remembered for their challenge but this
one’s definitely turned to the dark side
of video game difficulty so be prepared
to see nothing but the first stage for
quite a while number 9 the dam level
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
[Music]
this level is frustrating due to design
as opposed to genuine challenge so let’s
break down this recipe for disaster
shall we
firstly the player needs to quickly and
carefully navigate through an underwater
trench and as we all know water + gaming
equals bad secondly there are bombs to
disarm while fighting against the time
limit thirdly and this is the real
kicker the passage is extremely narrow
and covered with electrifying obstacles
don’t let your health drop too low
either or an irritating beeping sound is
going to start to play ha thanks game I
wanted my ears to bleed today check your
blood pressure for sure after playing
this highly stressful low number 8
blights town’s Dark Souls
Blighttown is the definition of a
vicious cycle of punishing gameplay you
have to keep moving because there are
monsters trying to kill you pretty much
every second but if you move around too
fast you might fall to your deaths
because you can’t see a goddamn thing
but if you don’t move around at all then
you’ll never find the exit and get out
of this nightmare level
nearly any move you make has the
possibility of severe consequences so be
ready to scream and swear at your TV a
lot oh and uh so framerate dips quite a
bit in this level too so have fun while
you’re trying to focus on not dying
number seven leader whitney pokemon gold
silver crystals
[Music]
Pokemon players around the world all hit
a roadblock when confronting the
goldenrod gym leader Whitney compared to
what the player would have available to
them at that point in the game Whitney
is placed at a seriously unfair
advantage her Clefairy may be subdued if
you know how to play it smart but things
get really nuts when she puts her
miltank into the fray
[Music]
from both an offensive and defensive
standpoint miltank seems to have a
countermove to everything you do it can
heal itself in the remake version and it
can cause any male Pokemon you have to
stop fighting with its attract ability
how many of you were caught off guard by
that move number six wrong side of the
tracks grand theft auto san andreas we
got to get those fools all we had to do
was follow the damn train that’s not so
hard right well yeah actually it kind of
is the game expects you to not only
follow alongside a train at breakneck
speed but you also have to be
simultaneously aware of your
surroundings so as to not you know crash
into anything
furthermore you can’t drive too fast or
too slow as your companion Big Smoke
needs to be able to shoot the gang
members on top of the Train his weapon
also seems to be pitifully underpowered
stopping the process of him gunning down
that gang members who take a theory all
the time they’re going to need a lot of
patience and precision to survive this
exhausting endurance test all we had to
do was follow the damn train CJ let’s
achieve or number five the Barret boss
fight do you sex human revolution get
rid of him petty
oh that’s going to be a pleasure
human revolution is a first-person
action RPG that encourages player choice
in either taking a stealthy and pacifist
approach or going all-out guns blazing
well that’s all well and good until you
get to the first major boss battle which
requires an offensive battle strategies
effectively ruining any chance of the
player having a perfect stealth run or
worse ruining their chances of
completing the game this sudden shift in
format was due to the fact that
developer idols Montreal outsource the
boss fights to another studio grip
entertainment whose president admitted
that they knew very little about the
Deus Ex series you know it’s bad since
they had to fix this problem in the
director’s cut edition don’t die on me
yet his Boy Scouts got a few questions
asked number 4 turbo tunnel Battletoads
we’re willing to bet that this level has
left scars on the emotional psyche of
gamers across the globe up to this point
the game was a straightforward beat them
up but then out of nowhere if it drops
you into this vehicle section without
any clear explanation of how to play or
what to do
[Music]
there is never a chance to catch your
breath as the level moves at breakneck
speed and obstacles suddenly appear
leaving you with split seconds to react
there are hard levels there are
impossible levels and then there’s the
turbo tunnel the only thing moving
faster than the stage are the
controllers that you’ll be throwing
across the room number three Shakespeare
puzzle Silent Hill 3 well we hope you
paid attention in English class the
problem here isn’t that the sequence
can’t be solved with trial and error
intuition or problem solving skills like
other puddles in the Silent Hill series
the goal is to properly arrange a row of
fallen Shakespeare books but in order to
do so the player has to have prior
knowledge of the writers material the
game displaced passages from
shakespeare’s popular works Hamlet
Macbeth Romeo and Juliet etc another
player needs to carefully dissect the
words in order to decipher a student
code and move forward you know we just
warned we sat down to play a video game
not study for a history exam but what
the heck is this come on number 2 the
tutorial driver many of the frustrating
sections on this list occur late in
their games but driver kicks things into
high gear the second you booted up the
player is immediately tasked with
performing a vague list of tricks and
maneuvers before they can progress
forward the issue here is that the area
is a tad too small to efficiently pull
things off like high speeds and reverse
180s if that’s not bad enough the player
has to pull all this off within a strict
time limit the sad truth is that this
garage was the entire game for some
people as they were never able to
experience what came afterwards
[Applause]
no five
before we reveal our top picks here are
a few more frustrating sections to curse
at
[Music]
number one water temple the legend of
zelda ocarina of time well known among
the gaming community for all the wrong
reasons
the water temple from ocarina of time
was an infuriating and monotonous slog
the constant necessity to backtrack to
the same rooms to raise and lower the
water levels inside the temple in order
to reach certain areas and move along
was altogether tedious and really
confusing there aren’t tons of horror
stories about wasting keys on the wrong
doors entirely screwing up puzzles or
just roaming around the temple for hours
without feeling like any progress was
even made you know how you don’t bring
up religion or politics at the dinner
table anymore
well you don’t bring up the water temple
around gamers it’s that bad
do you agree with our picks check out
