Recently I played two games which made me think of this.
Rogue Squadron 2 Gamecube. Ridiculously hard game to get gold medals. Apparently they made the game super hard to cover up its small number of levels.
Star Fox Adventures Gamecube. Actually an easy game up to a section about halfway through the game called the "test of fear". I played this part for hours without success and eventually had to just give up.
While a certain amount of difficulty gives a sense of satisfaction, too much difficulty makes games stressful and kills the fun factor.
What do you folks think? Any games that fall into this category worth mentioning?
