Also for anyone stuck on the mafia racing mission on classic difficulty keep in mind that the green grass has the same physics as actual road. It doesn't slow you down or disrupt your handling. The brown dirt however does alter speed and handling. And the top 2 racers always spin out, so you if you are in 3rd place within the 1st lap, and 2nd place within the last lap, you're essentially in 1st. The person in 1st place spins out at the end of the final lap.
Yup and for me, the game changer was discovering the small boost button that let your car easily go through turns without losing speed - I remember actual relief and pure joy when discovered it during the race
Personally I felt that the race is not super hard, but only once you really understand the physics of the car. This car handles like it should, and that is terrible! It is a huge engine on tiny narrow wheels, so if you approach this like you play F1 2021, you are going to be in for a rude awakening.
The moment I saw the thumbnail I realised it was Mafia the racing mission this mission I played it over more than I could think of I only started to realise my only way to win is to follow through the grass when it comes to a sharp curve
I saw a mod on nexus to take that mission out. I’m barely getting through my first time playing through it right now, and I didn’t know why it was a big deal. Until I played it……🤣🤣🤣
I was dreading this mission as I recently played the game for the first time and I had heard how hard it was but after playing it I really don't know what all the fuss was about I finished the race first try
@@CanComp definitely much more difficult in the original. I stumbled upon a used copy, way back when, at a garage sale around the corner from where I grew up. First game I ever recall having to stop to fuel your vehicle in. Loved it
The Airplane section in GTA San Andreas was pretty frustrating, too. That one where you have to complete Airplane courses in order to progress to the next level. I thought it was gonna be here. I heard lots of people had to reload a lot on that level, too.
I think you're mixing up the pilot school with Zero's RC missions. Both can be bad but I found Zero's missions to be awful even compared across the entire GTA series.
@@cathallynch1 they both hard. dont forget train mission big smoke had to shoot enemies on top of train. i hit the difficulty spike on that because big show cant shoot for shit but definitely not worse than zero rc missions and airplane course though.
After finally beating the racing mission if one of your neighbors hasn’t called the police on you for raging and you are still playing they actually throw a harder mission at you if playing on classic where you have to shoot that truck down..
That mission is ungoldy when it comes to the rng you can be hidden behind cover and spry over the top and still get killed instantly by 5 bullets (they shoot a mounted turret)
What sticks out in my mind the most is Driver. I was soooo looking forward to grabbing fast cars and flying around the city! But I couldn't play any of the game until I passed the parking garage challenge. That was it. You can't play the game unless you beat this challenge. Took about 3 frustrating days to get past it just to be able to play the game.
I got really lucky the first time I played Mafia. I finished the race on my first try and told people they were crazy when they would tell me how hard the race was. Well, when I replayed it again in the remaster, I realized how right they were, because I didn't get the luck during that playthrough.
Oh, I remember that Mafia mission well. I think my previous Need For Speed experience served me badly, because you can't race the same way in Mafia. You can't push other racers and drift in turns without properly braking - the car just tumbles and crashes. I found the best strategy to be just patience and carefulness. You need to stay calm, brake properly and follow the correct racing line. I actually think this mission has taught me a few things about real-world racing:)
That Mafia mission when you have to shoot the armored truck with a tommy gun before your own trucks health or your health gives out is absolutely infuriating. Took me maybe 50 times on the remaster
A Drive in the Country, I believe. That was harder for me than the race, by a long shot. Doing that on Classic with no auto aim is virtually impossible on console. I could see how PC could pull that off, but not console
This is by far the worst mission in difficulty like at least in the race you could learn and improve the truck one is complete rng if you can shoot it enough without dieing
I recently played Mafia and the race part was easy but there was a chase sequence where we had to shoot an armored vehicle. I don't know how many times I restarted it.
Yup, I was dreading that mission, but I actually found it pretty easy. I think some of these driving levels are just difficult because the people playing them aren't used to racing games.

KOTOR 1 has difficulty spikes in both Taris and Dantooine which shouldn't be there considering both are starting areas and unless you are either an expert at the game, Using the debug menu on the Switch or using mods, You are going to get your ass kicked over and over and run out of healing supplies and credits from buying healing supplies, Ontop of that you don't have good weapons or armor, There's a reason I keep a save after I beat Dantooine and Taris to go back to so I don't stress out, The underwater mission while annoying is nowhere near that bad.
I remember I pulled into the garage in that mission and I hit the side of the garage and it damaged the car to the point I had to restart and I have never felt such anger towards a video game since
All we had to do was mention the darn mission CJ. Seriously expected this mission to be number 1. But, I think the difficulty is somewhat exaggerated. I passed it the first time on the remaster and the second time on the original PS2 and I am obviously not great.
For me the worst one that almost made me quit was the mafia 1 remake with the police armored truck....They got me around 15 times before i had to look it up.
Not many people mention it (or maybe its just me) but the beginning sequence for the first Driver game on PS1 had me reloading a few times. Basically it gives you a minute to complete 10 or 12 stunts without damaging the car too much, so you have to plan out a route to hit every trick in this parking garage, took me a an hour or so to figure out.
What made it so hard for me was age and limited access to internet and knowledge of cars and racing like I am 12 years old and don't hold a license like what is a slalom ?? hahaha
For me it was that one mission in wolfenstein: the new colossus where you are stuck in a small room while nazis keep rushing you and never run out of personnel. If you’ve played the game you know what I am talking about.
The courthouse mission, that mission took me 527 times to redo and I was going to snap and destroy my console and controller over it until I finally did it, definitely one of the worst missions, that and the Mile High Club mission in Call of Duty
This is random, but that race mission from Mafia was my favorite thing about that game. I used to replay it multiple times, it just reminded me of good codemasters games, at first it was hard, but later on I used to win it every time.
In Jak2, the mission where you get back to Haven city in the slums by the docks and get ambushed by millions of Crimson Guards is super crazy and tough. They keep coming, there is little space to take cover from, and that drone in the water kills you almost instantly if you fall off the docks.
There is a glitch if you go dark jak and dark bomb at the right time when you jump off the docks, it kills the drone and you can hover board the whole way out of there
@@warriorsora1126 I never tried that tbh. But I did recently see a video saying that lots of people played the game 'wrong' making it harder than needed. Im sure lots of us relied on the spinning air attack and then the shoot button to fire the gun all around us. What made it difficult is that it leaves you wide open to gun fire and the shots you pull off aren't accurate. It was suggested to always shoot in front of you. So idk. I made it, I survived, but I had to learn the hard way. I may go back and play it again now that its on Playstation Premium
Many years back in high school, when I expressed my frustration to a friend over the racing level in Mafia (a game we were both playing at the same time) he said “Really? Beat that first try.” Haven’t talked to him since.
That mission in Jak II where you had to throw some bombs into Eco Wells with the hoverboard (with turning reminiscent of a semi, mind you), and you only have 7 minutes to complete the objective. Keep in mind, the entire area is a junkyard, with plenty of places to fall.
I know its random, each other have its peace. But nothing beats missions where you reload all times, until you give up, go sleep and on the other day nail it first time.
I have too much time so i found number 27 in every game: 10:Ammo at 1:22 9: Again ammo for a split second at 1:56 8: Ammo is 270 but you know leave the 0 out and its 27 at 3:00 7: Misson Test Your Sight is 270 at 4:15 6:On the license plate at 5:29 5:Picked up 27 gears at 7:10 4:Position is 27/30 at 8:17 3:Ok here I didnt really found any but if u stretch it far u can like flip it where the number says 8172 and make 27 at 9:45 2:Again far stretch but at 10:42 he has 27 rounds left in that one "Mag" 1:Time remaining is 02:07 at 11:45
Ahh yes mw2 spec ops, I miss mw2. Spent a hot minute mastering the spec ops levels! Here's to hoping the reboot scratches at least a few of those og itches
I owned F-Zero GX when I was in elementary school. Hardest game I ever played on 64. Could never unlock the last row of racers, which sucked because the character I wanted access to was in the last row. He was just an old man with a cane who has been racing since before most of the main cast even touched a car, and that is why I found him amazing.
Allow me to confirm that being "big into racing games" does not help racing sections in non racing games whatsoever. I am an avid sim racer and when my friend let me play the racing section in mafia I was useless. Same with super arcadey racers like mario kart and f-zero, I'm probably worse than the average gamer.
Interesting I found the race in Mafia pretty easy because I understood racing lines ,coasting and braking zones , but getting the car tampered with was hard AF lol its wet and dark and there's a time limit and damage limit and 100% agree with you on super arcadey racers I am absolute trash its borderline embarrassing lmao . However my buddy is a big flight sim guy and a military pilot and I was playing ace combat and he wasn't good at all so I think once you get to a level of gaming its hard to go backwards too.
I have to protest your Jak 2 mission choice. While hard and early, I think it's still easier than the hord mode mission when getting the Seal of Mar piece from Brutter.
S%#@! I remembered that one too! And to make things worse, Smoke betrays you at the end! I REALLY wish you could run Smoke over with that F-ING TRAIN! Me:' How do you like it now, you asshole!' 'Not so nice on the other end is it, f-ing PRICK!'
I remember when I watched the BEFORE YOU BUY for Mafia game and said that race was very difficult. I listened to your tips on the track and beat it the first time!
Blowtorch and Corkscrew from CoD World At War on higher difficulty. Once Roebuck shouted "SPIDER HOLES", the enemies will appear everywhere. It was brutal but rewarding once you managed to find cover
For me it was ALL of Yooka Laylee. I wanted to like this game so much. I would watch my wife struggle with some levels and be like "I got this..." After a few rage quits my wife would just laugh and grind through it with sheer will power and determination.
Assassin’s Creed Unity and the obstacle course. The mission was made for co-op where you have two players collecting flags simultaneously, but if you don’t have a co-op partner you have to get all the flags solo. Even with perfect timing you’ll only scrape through under time, meaning that any stumbles will automatically cause you to lose.
I was kind of hoping to see Battletoads on here. More specifically the speeder level where you have to dodge or jump over the little barriers. Or the rappelling down the hole level. Or many of the Megaman missions with the blocks that appear and disappear on you all while the screen is slowing scrawling to the right.
You just gave me anxiety with Battle Toads , as a kid I could never get through the speeder level I had the first and the tunnel memorized but that level is so hard lol
Dear God! I just saw the thumbnail and when I realized it's that cursed Mafia race mission it triggered a PTSD episode in me. This one mission is the reason why I never even bothered to give the remastered game a shot (though I really enjoyed the original one, and I have a lot of nostalgia towards it)
Am I the only one who beat the Mafia race first try? Loved the physics of the cars, didn't see any problem with how they handled. From what I've seen of people failing it, it's like the only other driving game they've played is GTA V
depends on what version did you play. Old mafia on release had only hard mode fo racing. also there's a big portion of luck: there're some AI racers that run too fast and if you would't get them on 1-2 lap, you never will, even driving perfectly. BUT they can crash on 1st lap, and it'll be easy ride.
for me it was super easy on normal difficulty but on hard was a completely different story after about 30 attempts I gave up and went to normal difficulty
That's a VERY strange thing to say considering GTA generally has very good driving for an open world game to the point where racing is a large part of the online. Only took me 3 tries to get to the race, and one try at the actual race in the remake, with a keyboard, but it was very similar to Mafia 3's driving (quite good) which I had already done plenty of.
I still remember when The Act Man showed a clip of him dying in Gravemind in Legendary... He died so fast the text at the bottom on the screen had no time to appear
@@miqueld-luffy8251 really though maybe we're not as bad as we think . Beat this race in a breeze . Literally had anixtey before it because of how hard I heard it was lol
Before playing mafia definitive edition I heard about the racing car thing, so I loathed it. But I've won the race the first try. And also finished the timed mission for the 2nd try. (A truck took a left turn in the first).
I've been playing games, probably for as long as Falcon based on what I've watched, and there is one multi save mission I will never forget. "All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ".
Thank you so much for finally giving Trouble with the Trolley (eh) in Spyro 2 a mention and spotlight. I hated this so much back when I used to 100% the PS1 version, and I hated it still when Reignited came out
I had a way harder time with MW2's high explosive mission(veteran), 10 jugs only to be killed with explosives, nades, flash, launcher, RPG and knifing The start 1v1 is alright but as you start killing them you risk having up to 4 jugs chasing you I have restarted that mission many more times than both the mafia race and the boneyard/airplane scrapyard mission
It's quite easy. You are either just having to do laps of the favela. Go into the back of the Ute at the start. The Jung's won't be able to get you or in co op, go into the room on the very right of the map. One goes prone behind the furniture and the other stands in the doorway. When the doorway person goes down start knifing. Then when the jugg shoots the DBNO person, revive. Rinse and repeat. The Airoplane Graveyard has a specific path to the left you go. Then after getting the Intel, chuck a few flashes over the next area and book it over to the right with cover. EZ PZ
I ended up cheesing the Circus level in Psychonauts 2, Figured out quickly that there is a couple out of the way bounce pads that rocket you past some of the annoying sections that make keeping that foolish npc from dying too fast before you reach them insanely easier.
Heck, I have the time stamp on the achievement showing I beat this game 4 days after it released on Game Pass, so no, it wasn't after the patch. I'm just hardcore and been gaming since the Atarii days. You guys don't know true rage inducing gameplay unless you played NES or Sega ;)
@@Space_Noise Same. After The Club, the rest of the levels seemed pretty manageable. That being said, Yang gave me some trouble. Especially when getting the true ending.
The Mafia race on classic difficulty is borderline torture. You'll know on the first bend whether you have a CHANCE to win the race or not. Took me hours to do it. And I'd do it again tho lol, excellent game
That Mafia Race was the most time I had ever spent on a mission ever on any game, it’s been so long yet I still feel the grind just from the video thumbnail
I can't remember how the original Spyro games played out but I remember in the trilogy remake I didn't have that much trouble with the trolley. Getting the timed scores on the flying missions (particularly in Year of the Dragon) was the hard one for me. ...then of course there's the bugged Sergeant Byrd level that makes getting all the trophies impossible...and that level is near the very end of the final game so by that point you've collected almost everything else. Good times! Q_Q
I remember in Medal of Honor: Frontline, the mission "Clipping Their Wings" took me SO many tries. "Under the Radar" and "Arnhem Knights" also took many tries.
Huh? I don't know why people were struggling so much with Mafia 1 racing game, I've played the remaster version, sure the car is slidy but after getting used to it, I think I finished the race in 3 or 4 tries
@@Ehren1337 I'm not gonna buy a 20 years old game and plays it just to get to that race, plus they said they didn't improve the racing at all so why should i
For anyone wondering how to beat the race in Mafia 1 remake, all you have to do is spam the speed limit button for the cars near the turn, so you can turn without hitting objects and after the turn you can pretty much turn off the speed limiter which makes the race easier to beat.
@@leafs900 these videos are OK but alot of them are stupid, like the mw2 mission ur not supposed to fight every enemy ur supposed to run do the objective and leave not stand there take bullets and get shit on...
@@anon6706 after watching the whole video you can just tell gamerranx actually tried to fuck up in the mission like they actually tried to be bad at the game, if you ain't good at something probably give up doing it. For me I actually hate it when I get people on my team who don't know what there doing or how to play a game I get it if ur a beginner but if you are out right being ignorant towards what the game wants you to do or what the objective is then ur a shitty team mate and half of the bad team mates are in this same comment section 😂 they don't even realise it though and blame it on the game when 90% of the rest of players aren't having an issue.
Not gonna lie when Falcon said Jak2 & didn’t mention the boardwalk section when you first grab a piece of Mar’s tomb and then your wanted level is at 5 stars good time!!!
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (Gameboy) - The Gorgon Dance. It was a required minigame for a quest item that cost rupees each time you played. The goal was to do 8 "dances" on perfect timing in a increasing difficult sequence of inputs. Very hard if you have a bad internal clock and could block your progress for hours if you were bad at it. Also, if you ran out of money, you would have to go grind which took forever...
I'm replaying Sleeping Dogs and I didn't remember how hard was the mission were you defend the hospital. The hard part comes at the end when you have to escape from the cops. They can easily blow up your tires making you have to restart the chase and it's not easy to get rid of them, its pure luck
Really happy to see you speak about Jak & daxter I really love this games, and for the tank mission the trick is to double jump when he is going to aim this way he will shoot above
I thought I am clumsy on the Mafia racing mission until now. And when I've seen that's on the first place on your top I consider myself a pretty good gamer
The race against Errol to the stadium in Jak 2 is the hardest in my opinion especially as you have to go through all of the rings along the way and Errol doesn't.
That's incredible to see mw2 snatch and grab. I've done them all solo the first time, and helped many people through them and that's the only hard spec ops mission.
That Jak 2 mission brings back memories, figured out the only way through that tank section ws to double jump so that the tank target went above you leaving you free to run and avoid the laser turrets of course you can just jump on them too and avoid them all together :)
I expected to see RC helicopters mission on building construction site from GTA Vice City. One of the hardest mission ever of any game I played in my childhood. I don't know if I'm disappointed or glad I didn't see it.
Most overrated "hard" mission ever. The game gives you way more than enough time and the toy heli has more than enough health so you can just ignore the builders and security attacking you. I had to complete it for people when I was a kid and just never understood the difficulty. The remaster even has a trophy/achievement for killing every enemy with the blades during the mission, still just as easy.
I'm generally not great at hard games, but this is one mission that baffles me. I replayed Vice City over Christmas break and I beat this mission first try. I genuinely don't understand its reputation for being so hard.
Modern Warfare. All Ghilied Up mission. I have to replay that mission a lot, not only because I was a crappy gamer back then, but the mission is insanely fun to play through.
I was going through it with f-zero gx. I couldn't handle a lot of the game when I was younger and it was before I knew about advanced tech. After some years, I got into it again and it wasn't as hard anymore. With Black Shadow AND Blood Falcon, I'd either knock 'em out early or out race them, the latter being a trickier bit. Plus, f-zero is heavy on your reflexes and knowledge as you can break your vehicle or go flying off the track easily, and frankly, you get more out of it by learning how to be bold.
Also for anyone stuck on the mafia racing mission on classic difficulty keep in mind that the green grass has the same physics as actual road. It doesn't slow you down or disrupt your handling.

For me the worst one that almost made me quit was the mafia 1 remake with the police armored truck....They got me around 15 times before i had to look it up.
Had to turn on auto aim lol
@@michaelmurphy5 same lol. That was easier.
Not many people mention it (or maybe its just me) but the beginning sequence for the first Driver game on PS1 had me reloading a few times. Basically it gives you a minute to complete 10 or 12 stunts without damaging the car too much, so you have to plan out a route to hit every trick in this parking garage, took me a an hour or so to figure out.
What made it so hard for me was age and limited access to internet and knowledge of cars and racing like I am 12 years old and don't hold a license like what is a slalom ?? hahaha
For me it was that one mission in wolfenstein: the new colossus where you are stuck in a small room while nazis keep rushing you and never run out of personnel. If you’ve played the game you know what I am talking about.
That level on the hardest difficulty, was the bane of my existence.
@@JamesCook76131 I don’t doubt that
court mission?
@@drgenki6491 That was a pain too. Plus bugs prevented the game from running after that.
The courthouse mission, that mission took me 527 times to redo and I was going to snap and destroy my console and controller over it until I finally did it, definitely one of the worst missions, that and the Mile High Club mission in Call of Duty
This is random, but that race mission from Mafia was my favorite thing about that game. I used to replay it multiple times, it just reminded me of good codemasters games, at first it was hard, but later on I used to win it every time.
I guess you're just built different
Thank u sir!
In Jak2, the mission where you get back to Haven city in the slums by the docks and get ambushed by millions of Crimson Guards is super crazy and tough. They keep coming, there is little space to take cover from, and that drone in the water kills you almost instantly if you fall off the docks.
There is a glitch if you go dark jak and dark bomb at the right time when you jump off the docks, it kills the drone and you can hover board the whole way out of there
That’s the missing I thought they were gonna put up there
@@warriorsora1126 I never tried that tbh. But I did recently see a video saying that lots of people played the game 'wrong' making it harder than needed. Im sure lots of us relied on the spinning air attack and then the shoot button to fire the gun all around us. What made it difficult is that it leaves you wide open to gun fire and the shots you pull off aren't accurate. It was suggested to always shoot in front of you. So idk. I made it, I survived, but I had to learn the hard way. I may go back and play it again now that its on Playstation Premium
Many years back in high school, when I expressed my frustration to a friend over the racing level in Mafia (a game we were both playing at the same time) he said “Really? Beat that first try.” Haven’t talked to him since.
That mission in Jak II where you had to throw some bombs into Eco Wells with the hoverboard (with turning reminiscent of a semi, mind you), and you only have 7 minutes to complete the objective. Keep in mind, the entire area is a junkyard, with plenty of places to fall.
And constant spawning metal heads that can drop you in seconds.
I know its random, each other have its peace. But nothing beats missions where you reload all times, until you give up, go sleep and on the other day nail it first time.
Certainly can't forget about those missions, where you have,100% all the objectives in order unlock a secret prize within the game
Nostalgia seeping thru our veins 😌
Crash friggin' Bandicoot....
I have too much time so i found number 27 in every game:
10:Ammo at 1:22
9: Again ammo for a split second at 1:56
8: Ammo is 270 but you know leave the 0 out and its 27 at 3:00
7: Misson Test Your Sight is 270 at 4:15
6:On the license plate at 5:29
5:Picked up 27 gears at 7:10
4:Position is 27/30 at 8:17
3:Ok here I didnt really found any but if u stretch it far u can like flip it where the number says 8172 and make 27 at 9:45
2:Again far stretch but at 10:42 he has 27 rounds left in that one "Mag"
1:Time remaining is 02:07 at 11:45
Gameranx just wanted to make this video special and you just make it good
Ahh yes mw2 spec ops, I miss mw2. Spent a hot minute mastering the spec ops levels!
Here's to hoping the reboot scratches at least a few of those og itches
That one turn in Mafia race gets me all most all the time. Airborne city lol
I owned F-Zero GX when I was in elementary school.
Hardest game I ever played on 64. Could never unlock the last row of racers, which sucked because the character I wanted access to was in the last row. He was just an old man with a cane who has been racing since before most of the main cast even touched a car, and that is why I found him amazing.
F-Zero GX wasn't on Nintendo 64. It was on GameCube.
@@jackcoleman1784 My apologies, off by one letter. I played F-Zero X.
Lol, oh well.
27 is actually my favourite number. Love the way it rolls off the tongue
Yoooooooo that Mafia racing mission took me daaaaaaaaaays 😭😭😭
Fantastic list 👌🏿🔥
Thanks 😁
I think the rocket Dexter rides through the city in Jak 2 was what took me the longest.
Allow me to confirm that being "big into racing games" does not help racing sections in non racing games whatsoever. I am an avid sim racer and when my friend let me play the racing section in mafia I was useless. Same with super arcadey racers like mario kart and f-zero, I'm probably worse than the average gamer.
Interesting I found the race in Mafia pretty easy because I understood racing lines ,coasting and braking zones , but getting the car tampered with was hard AF lol its wet and dark and there's a time limit and damage limit and 100% agree with you on super arcadey racers I am absolute trash its borderline embarrassing lmao . However my buddy is a big flight sim guy and a military pilot and I was playing ace combat and he wasn't good at all so I think once you get to a level of gaming its hard to go backwards too.
I have to protest your Jak 2 mission choice. While hard and early, I think it's still easier than the hord mode mission when getting the Seal of Mar piece from Brutter.
The race mission can burn in the fiery pits of hell 🤣
Omg “trouble with the Trolly eh?” Great mention! I will always have that sentence instilled in my brain
All we had to do was follow the damn train CJ!
S%#@! I remembered that one too! And to make things worse, Smoke betrays you at the end! I REALLY wish you could run Smoke over with that F-ING TRAIN! Me:' How do you like it now, you asshole!' 'Not so nice on the other end is it, f-ing PRICK!'
those mission form Mafia DE made me fall in love with the game due to the car physics. Waaayyyy better than expected
Also the Alone in The Dark driving was one of the worst feeling mechanics I’ve ever felt, still in my opinion an actual underrated game 🤷♂️
Watch Dogs 2 had some pretty bad vehicle handling.
I remember when I watched the BEFORE YOU BUY for Mafia game and said that race was very difficult. I listened to your tips on the track and beat it the first time!
The best content. Just brightens my day to hear Falcon and Jake.
Thanks for watching our videos
Blowtorch and Corkscrew from CoD World At War on higher difficulty. Once Roebuck shouted "SPIDER HOLES", the enemies will appear everywhere. It was brutal but rewarding once you managed to find cover
Well this will be a fun concept
Thanks
props for using the anniversary graphics in the halo 2 part.
For me it was ALL of Yooka Laylee. I wanted to like this game so much. I would watch my wife struggle with some levels and be like "I got this..." After a few rage quits my wife would just laugh and grind through it with sheer will power and determination.
Agreed, that game was shockingly hard...
The hardest part for me was liking anything about that game....from the leveldesign to the controls, everything is mediocre at best.
Assassin’s Creed Unity and the obstacle course. The mission was made for co-op where you have two players collecting flags simultaneously, but if you don’t have a co-op partner you have to get all the flags solo. Even with perfect timing you’ll only scrape through under time, meaning that any stumbles will automatically cause you to lose.
I was kind of hoping to see Battletoads on here. More specifically the speeder level where you have to dodge or jump over the little barriers. Or the rappelling down the hole level. Or many of the Megaman missions with the blocks that appear and disappear on you all while the screen is slowing scrawling to the right.
You just gave me anxiety with Battle Toads , as a kid I could never get through the speeder level I had the first and the tunnel memorized but that level is so hard lol
Dear God! I just saw the thumbnail and when I realized it's that cursed Mafia race mission it triggered a PTSD episode in me. This one mission is the reason why I never even bothered to give the remastered game a shot (though I really enjoyed the original one, and I have a lot of nostalgia towards it)
Am I the only one who beat the Mafia race first try? Loved the physics of the cars, didn't see any problem with how they handled. From what I've seen of people failing it, it's like the only other driving game they've played is GTA V
depends on what version did you play. Old mafia on release had only hard mode fo racing.
also there's a big portion of luck: there're some AI racers that run too fast and if you would't get them on 1-2 lap, you never will, even driving perfectly. BUT they can crash on 1st lap, and it'll be easy ride.
for me it was super easy on normal difficulty but on hard was a completely different story after about 30 attempts I gave up and went to normal difficulty
That's a VERY strange thing to say considering GTA generally has very good driving for an open world game to the point where racing is a large part of the online. Only took me 3 tries to get to the race, and one try at the actual race in the remake, with a keyboard, but it was very similar to Mafia 3's driving (quite good) which I had already done plenty of.
"Right here on Gameranx, Right here on...." The mystery continues!
You were supposed to follow the damn train CJ.
I still remember when The Act Man showed a clip of him dying in Gravemind in Legendary... He died so fast the text at the bottom on the screen had no time to appear
Just recently platinumed Mafia 1 and yes the racing mission took way more than 27 times.
Im not trying to brag but because I play racing games besides single player it didn't took me to long actually
Dude I had to look up a guide to beat that level
I beat the racing mission on my first try and beat the timed car mission on my 2nd try
Wired, it only took me like 3 times
@@miqueld-luffy8251 really though maybe we're not as bad as we think . Beat this race in a breeze . Literally had anixtey before it because of how hard I heard it was lol
"CJ all you had to do was follow the damn train!!!"
The goddamn RC copter mission in Vice City...
I think we invented a few swears after THAT one! Another pain in the ass!
"All we had to do was follow the damn train CJ."
-Big Smoke
Before playing mafia definitive edition I heard about the racing car thing, so I loathed it. But I've won the race the first try. And also finished the timed mission for the 2nd try. (A truck took a left turn in the first).
It's harder when your on manual and realistic settings,but that is good said it's impressive no matter what settings
Try it on classic, the normal mode was for modern day standards so it isn't that loathing experience you were looking for.
I've been playing games, probably for as long as Falcon based on what I've watched, and there is one multi save mission I will never forget.
"All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ".
the mafia race SUUUUUUCKED on the hardest difficulty.
I don't think so it was pretty easy it took me like 5 tries maybe
Thank you so much for finally giving Trouble with the Trolley (eh) in Spyro 2 a mention and spotlight. I hated this so much back when I used to 100% the PS1 version, and I hated it still when Reignited came out
I had a way harder time with MW2's high explosive mission(veteran), 10 jugs only to be killed with explosives, nades, flash, launcher, RPG and knifing
The start 1v1 is alright but as you start killing them you risk having up to 4 jugs chasing you
I have restarted that mission many more times than both the mafia race and the boneyard/airplane scrapyard mission
It's quite easy. You are either just having to do laps of the favela. Go into the back of the Ute at the start. The Jung's won't be able to get you or in co op, go into the room on the very right of the map. One goes prone behind the furniture and the other stands in the doorway. When the doorway person goes down start knifing. Then when the jugg shoots the DBNO person, revive. Rinse and repeat.
The Airoplane Graveyard has a specific path to the left you go. Then after getting the Intel, chuck a few flashes over the next area and book it over to the right with cover. EZ PZ
This made me feel a lot better about that Mafia race mission pissing me off to no end.
Thanks for the good 🎮 Content!
I ended up cheesing the Circus level in Psychonauts 2, Figured out quickly that there is a couple out of the way bounce pads that rocket you past some of the annoying sections that make keeping that foolish npc from dying too fast before you reach them insanely easier.
Heck, I have the time stamp on the achievement showing I beat this game 4 days after it released on Game Pass, so no, it wasn't after the patch. I'm just hardcore and been gaming since the Atarii days. You guys don't know true rage inducing gameplay unless you played NES or Sega ;)
Great list, always enjoy your guys' content. I would add to this list however, Sifu's "The Club" mission.
👌🏼👍🏼
The club almost made me quit..
@@Space_Noise Same. After The Club, the rest of the levels seemed pretty manageable. That being said, Yang gave me some trouble. Especially when getting the true ending.
Rise of the Triad had some points that were a real pain.
I love the Mafia racing mission😻
I felt disrespected when he said Jak 2 was a kids game.
The fact that I was absolutely raging while seeing the cod screen getting hit is mental
The Mafia race on classic difficulty is borderline torture. You'll know on the first bend whether you have a CHANCE to win the race or not. Took me hours to do it.
And I'd do it again tho lol, excellent game
That Mafia Race was the most time I had ever spent on a mission ever on any game, it’s been so long yet I still feel the grind just from the video thumbnail
I waited to see the tutorial of Driver on the PS1. This was insanely hard.
Final mission in driver 1 is also pretty hard
I was expecting "All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!" 😅
I can't remember how the original Spyro games played out but I remember in the trilogy remake I didn't have that much trouble with the trolley. Getting the timed scores on the flying missions (particularly in Year of the Dragon) was the hard one for me. ...then of course there's the bugged Sergeant Byrd level that makes getting all the trophies impossible...and that level is near the very end of the final game so by that point you've collected almost everything else. Good times! Q_Q
I remember a particular brutal mission in one of the Medal of Honors. It’s a tank battle and I remember having to do it over and over.
I remember in Medal of Honor: Frontline, the mission "Clipping Their Wings" took me SO many tries. "Under the Radar" and "Arnhem Knights" also took many tries.
i gave up on the mafia 1 race after 8 tries, i called my young brother and he did it second try without even knowing the game 😐
👏
Wow, you finally made a list of games I actually played one of.
Huh? I don't know why people were struggling so much with Mafia 1 racing game, I've played the remaster version, sure the car is slidy but after getting used to it, I think I finished the race in 3 or 4 tries
👍🏼
thats not remaster thats remake. try it on og version
@@Ehren1337 I'm not gonna buy a 20 years old game and plays it just to get to that race, plus they said they didn't improve the racing at all so why should i
@@Simon-tr9hv exactly 20 years old game is harder than you think due to lame ass specs lagging less than 30 fps.
@@Ehren1337 lol stop finding excuses for your own incompetence
For anyone wondering how to beat the race in Mafia 1 remake, all you have to do is spam the speed limit button for the cars near the turn, so you can turn without hitting objects and after the turn you can pretty much turn off the speed limiter which makes the race easier to beat.
I actually used the button to ram the opponent, but not to ram the other cars, to take the turns tighter
are people just unbelivably bad at games or something?
Oh bud you better believe it lol
@@leafs900 these videos are OK but alot of them are stupid, like the mw2 mission ur not supposed to fight every enemy ur supposed to run do the objective and leave not stand there take bullets and get shit on...
Yeah judging by some of these comments people are extremely bad at simple missions.
@@anon6706 after watching the whole video you can just tell gamerranx actually tried to fuck up in the mission like they actually tried to be bad at the game, if you ain't good at something probably give up doing it. For me I actually hate it when I get people on my team who don't know what there doing or how to play a game I get it if ur a beginner but if you are out right being ignorant towards what the game wants you to do or what the objective is then ur a shitty team mate and half of the bad team mates are in this same comment section 😂 they don't even realise it though and blame it on the game when 90% of the rest of players aren't having an issue.
Not gonna lie when Falcon said Jak2 & didn’t mention the boardwalk section when you first grab a piece of Mar’s tomb and then your wanted level is at 5 stars good time!!!
"All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!"
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (Gameboy) - The Gorgon Dance. It was a required minigame for a quest item that cost rupees each time you played. The goal was to do 8 "dances" on perfect timing in a increasing difficult sequence of inputs. Very hard if you have a bad internal clock and could block your progress for hours if you were bad at it. Also, if you ran out of money, you would have to go grind which took forever...
Following the train mission isn’t up here ????
“All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ !”
IYKYK
I'm replaying Sleeping Dogs and I didn't remember how hard was the mission were you defend the hospital. The hard part comes at the end when you have to escape from the cops. They can easily blow up your tires making you have to restart the chase and it's not easy to get rid of them, its pure luck
Really happy to see you speak about Jak & daxter I really love this games, and for the tank mission the trick is to double jump when he is going to aim this way he will shoot above
The toy heli in Vice City is the same meme as racing in Mafia )
I thought I am clumsy on the Mafia racing mission until now. And when I've seen that's on the first place on your top I consider myself a pretty good gamer
The race against Errol to the stadium in Jak 2 is the hardest in my opinion especially as you have to go through all of the rings along the way and Errol doesn't.
The minute I saw the thumbnail my eye twitched
That's incredible to see mw2 snatch and grab. I've done them all solo the first time, and helped many people through them and that's the only hard spec ops mission.
I loved the spec ops missions back in the day. A friend of mine and I got all the gold stars for the achievement
That Jak 2 mission brings back memories, figured out the only way through that tank section ws to double jump so that the tank target went above you leaving you free to run and avoid the laser turrets of course you can just jump on them too and avoid them all together :)
I expected to see RC helicopters mission on building construction site from GTA Vice City. One of the hardest mission ever of any game I played in my childhood. I don't know if I'm disappointed or glad I didn't see it.
Most overrated "hard" mission ever. The game gives you way more than enough time and the toy heli has more than enough health so you can just ignore the builders and security attacking you. I had to complete it for people when I was a kid and just never understood the difficulty. The remaster even has a trophy/achievement for killing every enemy with the blades during the mission, still just as easy.
You should be banned from playing any game...
I'm generally not great at hard games, but this is one mission that baffles me. I replayed Vice City over Christmas break and I beat this mission first try. I genuinely don't understand its reputation for being so hard.
@@LobsterPuncher it's not hard there is no such thing as a hard gta mission people are just unbelievably bad at games.
Modern Warfare. All Ghilied Up mission. I have to replay that mission a lot, not only because I was a crappy gamer back then, but the mission is insanely fun to play through.
Surprised we didn't see... "all you had to do was just follow the damn train CJ"
that "all u had to do was to follow the god damn trian cj" with big smokes voice is soemthing else
The race in #1 was interesting to say the least. I personally had a harder time fighting the dimwitted ai over the actual driving mechanics...
I was going through it with f-zero gx. I couldn't handle a lot of the game when I was younger and it was before I knew about advanced tech. After some years, I got into it again and it wasn't as hard anymore. With Black Shadow AND Blood Falcon, I'd either knock 'em out early or out race them, the latter being a trickier bit. Plus, f-zero is heavy on your reflexes and knowledge as you can break your vehicle or go flying off the track easily, and frankly, you get more out of it by learning how to be bold.
