We have all had at least one game that just stumped us no matter what, or one that took ages to beat/finished. What game has been the most difficult for you so far? All games can apply including board or card games.
The hardest game i have played was for the PSP it was called Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. I had difficulty with it because i did not fully understand what things worked the best. The game itself was a bit complex.

Pools of Darkness is a close second. Again, not a difficult game in and of itself, but the random encounters grew to be very time-consuming. "Oh, goody--*another* round of drow wizards and priestesses." "Oh, look--even *more* Minions of Bane/Bits o'Moander." *yeesh*
It really sucks that it doesn't have a quick save and reload feature to it. And the bugs... urgh!
Sims 3. . . I keep catching on fire and I seem to miss the point of the game . . .
@elminster I loved that game but i kept on being trapped between "Flappy Jaw" (That's what me and my sister call him) and the darn exit.
Hahahahaha! NO DON'T GO FOR A SWIM! Get to work. Right now you bloody little poor person. >.<
I eventually had to turn off free will, then I went to make a sandwich, when I came back, he'd starved to death. . .
I also may have locked the screaming child named Justin Beiber in a basement room and removed the ladder. . .
Then there is this game where I amazingly got to a score of 3

Majesty* (didn't complete at 100% but hey): Most difficult game I ever won (without considering my ultra-modded install of BG).
Of all the other games I've played and didn't finish (which are few, as I only seriously played only a few different games over all of my life) were pretty easier.
*I played that game when I was around 7 (when I started playing BG, but by that time I didn't got much into BG, but then the EEs cam out, and I got back to BG), and I recall doing all the missions but two, one of the was the most difficult of all (you had to get 40k Gold before a week passed), and it was needed to unlock the other.
1) From Sega Genesis, Contra/Probotectors. Very hard one.
2) From Sega Genesis again, Stargate. Never managed to beat the final boss, ever. Maybe now with emulator and save/load, i will try again sometime.
3) Castlevania for Snes. Not the super 4 one, the next, with richter as player and Shaft as nemesis (don't remember title).
4) Super Mario Bros 3, from the Mario All Stars Collection, for Snes. Reached the final world, never reached final castle, never reached final boss. Pretty hard, this one.
5) Sub-Culture, one of the very first Ubisoft games. And the first game ever to use 3dfx. Never progressed past second area.
6) The reap. One of the few scrolling 2d isometric shooters, and one of the last, that pc ever saw.
7) Pokemon Crystal and Stadiums. Crystal had a hard battle tower, stadiums were very hard themselves.
That's all i can remember. Now the modern ones...
1) Blade of Darkness. Pretty hard game. Considered by many the spiritual ancestor of Dark Souls.
2) F.E.A.R. 1. I struggled in Medium difficulty setting. Very hard, even for FPS veterans.
3) The Suffering 2. New mechanics, harder gameplay style, more difficulty in enemies and fights. I struggled in medium Difficulty setting. Very hard, even for FPS veterans.
4) Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. An endless nightmare, with total definition of this word.
5) Shadow Warrior remake (2013). Near the final chapters, from snow missions onwards, difficulty skyrocketed into impossible levels... Wangtastic.
6) GTA San Andreas. Damn, without a walkthrough with detailed map stigmas and pictures with pinpointed locations, or tweaking game files for passing the NRG-Challenge, it was hard as hell to get that 100%. After ages, i managed!
7) Baldur's Gate series. Same goes as above. But instead of tweaking files, simply exploiting game and trading in cheese, instead!
That's all from me. At least all i can remember or is worthwhile to mention (and why not? replay...).
Hardest I never beat? F-Zero GX had the most impossible races ever. The story mode was downright idiotic. As in 'never effing play tested' idiotic. CIV 1 on Emperor was sad, very much just 'computer cheats', which sucked. Hmm... Prince of Persia, original through to the 2nd 3d one were never finished (got close in both 3d, but was terrible at the old cpu game).
All time? TETRIS! Never finished that!
YS 1&2 Chronicles is conisdered rather hard, might be that...
But for other Harder games, well Baldur's Gate is rather difficult (excluding Throne of Bhaal, where difficulty is just enemies cheaply killing you).
Final Fantasy 3, the famicom version, was a pretty tough game...
Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox (played on a 360)
And part of me wants to mention Devil May Cry 4, only because of Hell and Hell difficulty.
Halo on Legendary was pretty difficulty too, particularly on some levels which seemed impossible at first. Luck was definitely involved in completing that.
Baldur's Gate 2 was also hard, at least until I figured out how to deal with mages. At first they seemed like nearly invincible joy killers.
Lots of replayability though!
The god damn boat you glide over every time. Made me SO mad. >:I
I never beat the original Super Mario Bros and I don't ever intend to anymore.
While Diablo 2 isn't considered really difficult game, it was for me in single player without grinding run. Hell difficulty gave me quite a harsh time, and my skills as a gamer never really helped much. If you don't posses good loot, every champion pack will overpower you. That's all there is to it.
Naturally, Baldur's Gate 1. Learning to play this game was based on trial and error.
Commander Z was a pretty hard RTS game and even though I finished it, many of my friends could not. (And none would believe I finished it without cheating). Very funny game btw.
Further, if online game counts, I think Eve-Online is still the most complex game I ever played.
Riddck: Assault on Dark Athena, never got past the first few levels. Stealthing through the dark and getting hunted by weird, heavy breathing robots... creeped me out. I didn't give it too many tries.
