Severance. I sucked at the combat. Eventually I got fed up with constantly dying and gave up.

Battletoads.

If I want to beat a game, I usually can, and I used to do just that because I felt that I needed to beat the game. Now, if a game becomes too tedious or I think it's just frustrating fake difficulty, I usually drop it. I tried so hard with Battletoads though...

Edit: Oh yeah, it was kind of like Bill O'reilly playing Battletoads.

I am actually replaying psychonauts just for the meat circus. I bought it when it first came out and had some problems in earlier levels but for some reason the meat circus i found rather easy and cleared it in one go. Then you read all these stories about how difficult and frustrating it was and i watch dsp on youtube and he struggled there too (but he struggles a lot). So i thought i have to give this awesome game another run and see if i was just really lucky in my first playthrough. I am not there yet but if it is tweaked now it isn't really representative any more.
