15 Most Difficult Gaming Moments Of 2014

14. Al Gore Boss Fight - South Park: The Stick Of Truth

The Challenge: The Stick of Truth isn't a particularly challenging game overall, but a huge difficulty spike comes if you decide to tackle the Al Gore side boss. Why It's So Difficult: Gore can put you to sleep by making you watch a presentation about global warming (in the game and in real life), and he can also summon government agents to help drain your health fast. What's more, Gore rocks an impressive 27000+ HP and each of his agents also have 5000+ HP. While Gore certainly isn't impossible, his difficulty comes as a surprise after beasting through every previous challenge the game had to offer. Complacency had no doubt set in for many gamers by this point, but the optional fight against the "almost barely President" was a test of the player's strategic skill.
