Hardest minigame

Getting the Edea card in FFVIII was ridiculous! Not only did you have to wait for Edea to use her Edea card, but once she had it with her she was nigh impossible to beat. That made me more furious than any mini-game that's not GTA. I finally got rid of all my non-rare cards, then played her and after restarting my game only three times was able to get the Edea card. It was way too much work for just that card, made me furious. And I mean furious.

In this play through FFX, I got the Caladbolg's Sigil without much difficulty, somehow the chocobo racing Gods were nice to me. The butterfly catching game was the biggest waste of time in the game, being as I hardly even used Kimhari. That was hard though, it wasn't extremely redundant (redundant) like the Lightning Dodging mini-game. Plus, Lulu's weapon wasn't even that great. Yuna's was much better since she could do Holy, her weapon was the easiest to get, and she also had healing magic. I stopped needed Lulu quickly after that.

The GTA series is the worst about impossible mini-games though, especially San Andreas. I swear the Zero missions were, in some way, invented by Lucifer himself. It's like Rockstar was sitting in their game design room and said, "Now, we need to put a ridiculous side-quest here that the gamer will hate, and will make at least four gamers change their lives because they've lost hope in humanity. We're talking the kind of side-quest that can set off a smoke alarm." Then a guy says, "But no human can create a mini-game of the caliber you speak of! We have the trucking isn't that enough?" Then the guy looks down and says, "Lucifer?" And, as Ced said (that's a nice rhyme, though you probably get that a lot) the trucking missions could make you want to die too.

Rita-Pon Suikoden IV, it kicked my ass so many times I asked my grandma to help me and after we played for a little bit she started cussing like a sailor, but we beat it after awhile.

Personally, I'm not good at the button-mashing games, so they're the most difficulty for me from one stand-point. But, when it comes to the annoying, long - thus making it hard to actual finish - Dragon Warrior 7 takes the cake, for me. I mean, the Monster Park is absolutely ridiculous.

I've given up on many of the FFX mini-games, my reflexes and hand-eye coordination are shockingly bad so dodging lightning bolts was impossible for me.

I brought the game to work ( Burger King at the time ) and we plugged it into the training TV out back. One of my collegues had a go and was at about 170 and going strong until someone dropped something heavy and distracted him >_<

Still haven't got half those ultimate weapons...

MORE RECENTLY

I've been playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - and the Pazaak game ... ooh that pissed me off >_<

Sure its voluntary but some good items awaited me so I went for it. LOSE, LOSE, LOSE, LOSE, LOSE... lucky win, LOSE LOSE LOSE. I bought fancy cards even, but this game is more luck than skill and I guess I never played my cards right. I swear the PC dealt me lousy hands.... Anyway I had to beat this Ithorian 5 times to get some items off him and after an hour and a half of lose - reload - lose - reload - win - save - lose - reload etc I managed to get em.

Turned out they were crappy items anyway.

I have to agree in every way that the mini games in Final Fantasy ten were so hard and so frustrating that I gave up after a short while . The game is fun and all but the mini games were made so beyond frustrating that i just stuck to the regular part of the game and just stuck to that. I never really did manage to get myself some of the better weapons that could be made but meh i'll get around to it next time I play through the game ya know. Anyways yeah thats my opinion on what is the hardest minigame I have played thus far.

Are the FFX games really that hard? I guess I would agree about the butterfly game, but the dodging, chocobo and blitzball minigames weren't really that hard, as long as you know what you're doing.

I'm in agreement with Highwind about the FFX minigames, I didn't really have much of a problem with them bar the butterfly game which took me a while but in itself I didn't even think was too bad. I'd almost say the lightning one was the hardest because it was so damned boring to do. Walk. X. Walk. X. Walk.

It was seemingly endless, I was so bored doing that.

I only had much trouble with the lightning dodging, which is definitely not my thing. Too boring, for one. The chocobo, though, I didn't find too hard at all. Not since the first time I did it. And, the butterflies, also not too difficult.

The FFX mini-games aren't difficult, but they are frustrating as hell!!!

-sends lightining bolt from his Thunder Rune to Square-Enix HQ-

I mean, excluding the blitzball game, all the others you must do correctly to the extreme. Like the thunder dodging. Let's say that you have to dodge 700 bolts (can't remember the exact number), and you have dodged 568 bolts, then your mom calls you, you lose concentration, bolt hits you and you have to do it from the beggining, again. It's really freaking annoying and frustrating.

My Blitz team was definitely the way of Ced's, they were monstrous. I enjoyed it but I felt there was room for a little more interactivity in it I guess. I had Wedge and Tidus up front, I think then there was someone who started with all stats as 1 and they became an absolute mostrosity if you train them correctly. There's an order that allows you to go full circle and max out every stat (as some drop as you raise some others) I used this and created the ultimate Blitzball monster. I forget her (I think it was a her) name though, she's only available to level 5 scouting.

I hadn't heard of that monster. The best blitzball player from my experience was Brother. Man... his only weak spot is CA, but really, who needs that besides goalkeepers?

In my personal experience the most dificult mini-game ever created was that stupid box throwing game to increase your strength in Mystical Ninja Goemon

Goemon: Hey look at me I cant move a different colored box. T_T
Midi: *laughs, and kicks the box into Goemon's head* there ya happy now little ninja.

Midi: Wait you dont even look like a ninja. You're just a pipe smokin ninja wannabe. I don't even wanna know what you really use that extending pipe for.
