what is the hardest game you've ever played? me, OoT

OoTUnabreviate I have no idea what that is. Mine would be Star ocean 3: TEOT. the beginnig sets you up to believe the game is easy then they pull out the big guns... Bru-tal.

It took me 8 years or something to get the perfect ending in Revenge of Shinobi. What a bastard.

Mech Warrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy. The last few missions are rediculous. I've had the game for almost 11 years and still havent beaten it.

Ha ha, Mr. Bunniesworth is the greatest Mech Warrior ever!!

Megaman... the ORIGINAL.

GHOSTS AND GOBLINS


I would have to agree with you on that. I think you can tell after you play the game for the first time when you can't even finish the first level >_<

Another I'd like to add: Legendary Wings for the NES, hard as **** shoot'em up by Capcom. Enemies will fly onto the screen in a split second and you can't really react fast enough to kill them and dodge their bullets.

Kinda reminds me of Darius Twin on the SNES too, but at least that was a little more bearable.

wonder if "OoT" means Ocarina of Time (Zelda)....

Shaq Fu

Megaman 1... the ORIGINAL.

fix'd

For me its The Adventures Of Alundra. I can complete most games quite well, but this one is just gettin' on my nerves. How the f**k can people play it. The fact that there are almost NO save points at all sucks mega donkey dick.

The correct answer is Battletoads.

The correct answer is Battletoads.

Nei. Too easy.

Jeez guys, who doesn't know what OoT stands for. Yes, it's Zelda.

Also, I have yet to beat Ninja Gaiden Black on very hard mode.

all the resident evils not because there hard they just scare the hell out of me
yes I know im a wuss

That Naruto game for the GC. In the final mission, you have to play some ungodly number of battles. I think it's like 99 of every character vs. every other character. Okay I beat Super Ghosts N' Goblins and Super Ghouls N' Ghosts in one day, but this challenge absolutely takes weeks of constant playing to beat.

So ridiculously hard

It took me 8 years or something to get the perfect ending in Revenge of Shinobi. What a bastard.

haha

I still haven`t gotten it. I always got the bad ending where his lover dies. :(

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
I got it when I was 6...and only completed it this year.

You guys have never played Shaq Fu, have you?

Dance Dance Revolution

ffxii...

Wow OoT really wasnt that hard. Thats one of my fav games on the planet. Hmm, I thought Shadow of the colossus was pretty hard.

You guys have never played Shaq Fu, have you?


Lol who would want to?

I do!

Your all wrong.

Devil May Cry 3 Heaven of Hell Mode.

They had to remake this game with an easier setting because it was so goddamn hard.

Your all wrong.

Devil May Cry 3 Heaven of Hell Mode.

They had to remake this game with an easier setting because it was so goddamn hard.

You talking about the Special Edition game?

LOL, I had to get this one just because I couldn't finish the normal version. But now this one has an even harder mode added to it. My problem with DMC3 for me is the controls because I was so use to playing DMC, which was a big difference when I picked this game up.

I must say Battletoads again. seriously. It's infamous for it's stupid difficulty. Oh and it's bugs.

or Manic miner? i can't beat level 5 or so.
well ive not played it for about 15 years or so, maybe it's easier now

I remember Battletoads!!!

good memories good memories

Final Fantasy X/X-2. I just cant get to the end of them.

Your all wrong.

Devil May Cry 3 Heaven of Hell Mode.

They had to remake this game with an easier setting because it was so goddamn hard.

That one is mostly easy if you dodge and use Trickster a lot, or just play the first level until you get enough orbs to max your stuff out. Otherwise it ranks in toughness with God Mode God of War.

Shin Megami Tensei:Nocturne.

I ended up beating it entirely. But the final (secret) boss in that game is insane. Seriously. His stats, hp, everything are ridiculous. I mean, the battle it self took 3.5 hours, and that's for an RPG! O.O

Hm..pretty hard to say the hardest game, but I could definetly say what I think is the hardest dungeon:

Tempest Tower, in Grandia.

Final Fantasy X/X-2. I just cant get to the end of them.
I have never found a Final Fantasy particularly hard so much as a process of levelling up enough.

Mech Warrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy. The last few missions are rediculous. I've had the game for almost 11 years and still havent beaten it.

That's up there.

Also,

Operation Flashpoint

god of war hardest difficulty

soggy cello

It took me 8 years or something to get the perfect ending in Revenge of Shinobi. What a bastard.

Lol, its not that hard lol. Just go there with Pow and dominate!!! lol. Great game!!!! loved it!!!!!

I have never found a Final Fantasy particularly hard so much as a process of levelling up enough.

this is true but emerald weapon took some differnt tactics. i got quadra magic and mastered it 3 times and mastered knights of round to beat him. i didnt train all those summons just for emerald it jus sorta happened. and of ruby i never fricken beat him i need some tips guys.

Final Fantasy X/X-2. I just cant get to the end of them.
That was sad ;( I found them pretty easily

That was sad ;( I found them pretty easily
i no ffx i beat in like a week the ending sucks, and ff10-2 i beat in likt a week and a half, the ending was alot better though, and i like how when you beat the game it offers a chance to restart with all the dressspheres and items and shit.

i no ffx i beat in like a week the ending sucks
The ending to FFX is fantastic. THEN AGAIN, I think everything about FFX is fantastic for the most part.

WTF? How was the ending to FFX shit?

WTF? How was the ending to FFX shit?
He probably doesn't care for romance or happy endings.

True.

The ending to FFX is fantastic. THEN AGAIN, I think everything about FFX is fantastic for the most part.
Agree.

Also, I just remembered that I had a hard time with Actraiser 2. I don't remember if I ever beat it or not.

Devil May Cry 3. I am sooooo stuck on one level.

The only game that I can think right now is The Nightmare of Druaga, an RPG games for PS2. Hell, like the name implies, this game was a real pain. Even to advance for 1 more dungeon was darn hard. On top of that, we cant even reset the game without saving or else we'll be punished by the game, huhuhu

Devil May Cry 3. Hard but fun

Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne, the dungeon are long, random fights are numerous (3x compared to the average FF), ailments and death speals are numerous and some of the bosses are horrible, especially the fight against the Matador which is the hardest boss fight I have ever faced (and my list includes DMC3 in DMD, Sephiroth in KH and KH2, FEAR, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, FF6). If the game didn't have a newgame +, I would never have the courage to restart it.

The hardest games I played lately are Gradius V, Ninja Gaiden and Contra "fucking impossible to beat using a single life" 4.

I played many difficult games through the years, but these are the most fresh in my memory, and can quite possibly be the toughest ones.


Viewtiful Joe was pretty hard too.

The Adventure of link. I don't know what it is about that game but I just fail at it in every way.

Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne, the dungeon are long, random fights are numerous (3x compared to the average FF), ailments and death speals are numerous and some of the bosses are horrible, especially the fight against the Matador which is the hardest boss fight I have ever faced

I can totally relate,i got slapped left and right in that game...

Nei. Too easy.
You lie, battletoads is hard as fuck. I've been playing it for 13 years and it's still hard and annoying as fuck, I've beaten it maybe once or twice. Rockman 1 through 3 with only one life is hard too.

Shinobi for the Ps2 is pretty hard

F-Zero GX on the hardest difficulty for me.

The most difficult and fustrating game ever: Spider Solitaire.

All Snes Megaman X games.

The hardest game I ever played is Ghoul's and Ghost. It frustrates me how I seem to always jump into my own demise or stand there and get killed anyways.

silver surfer. it would take a miracle or a stroke of luck to beat this (without using the invincibility passcode)

Ninja Gaiden hands down. I've played many different games that some considered unbeatable. Some are pretty challenging but this is the first game I have played and can't finish.

Mega-man X

Fantastic Dizzy, a f*cking platformer that made me play through night and day nonstop because there was no way to save my game. Sheessh ;/

Tetris - Don't let the slow speeds at which the blocks fall at first fool you. At higher levels, those fuckers fall like comets. Also, nobody has ever beaten it.

Seriously, i'll have to say Dragon's Lair. One of the most lamest game ever made. Also hardest ever.
Look at this link, a great example on how the game works ;)
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28184.html

I hear Devil May Cry 3 is extremely difficult.

Seriously, i'll have to say Dragon's Lair. One of the most lamest game ever made. Also hardest ever.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28184.html

must...not...try

Star Ocean 2 (Master Nr. 5 & 6 if I remember right)... The horror to beat these
enemies

Actually, i still haven't beaten any Grand Theft Auto games without cheat codes so... I'll add this to my list also.

Shin Megami Tensei was the toughest RPG i played.

I think La Mulana would be the hardest platformer.

I'd say RC-ProAM, first game where i got "Nintendo Thumb"


Also:
Phantasy Star 1 (espacially wandering into dungeons)
MegaMan
7th Saga
Friday the 13th
Paperboy

Mega Man X 6,7,and 8

the ninja gaiden trilogy for nes and snes. just cut the game off after you beat the first stages, cause you are garunteed to die within seconds

E.T atari 2600

Vagrant Story for the PS1 gave me a lot of trouble. Eventually beat it though. Other than that, I don't really have much trouble with games...unless beating the insanely strong optional bosses in RPG's counts.

Ruby and Emerald Weapons were pretty tough in FF7.

I wanna be the guy. freeware game. Died 358 times in 47 minutes on medium. No I don't suck, it's just the most unfair game in the world.

Stuntman. The first one.

I never played the sequel, for a good reason.

Shin Megami Tensei:Nocturne was a mega-bitch. Looooong.....too many random encounters and VERY hard bosses. Also, the ending(Extra demon one) blowed....thus making all your hard work for naught.

Also, Star Ocean 2-Complex system and those damn knights. Disgaia-WTF is up with that demon council and that extra chic you have to fight. Impossible.

These kids. They have it so good with their save points and their difficulty settings that they forget what the REAL ultimate challenge is...


PONG.

shaq fu was a joke. the only reason it was hard was because of bad game design. my top 2 hardest are between shinobi and dmc 3 special edition.

F O E !

wow. that shit is ultra catchy. /me want an mp3 of it now. :D

Mario Basketball 3on3/Mario Hoops 3on3/Mario Slam Basketball/whatever names it else has

Edit: After reading through this thread.
Megaman? Megaman being hard? lulz. No Megaman ever beat me. I actually did Busterruns in nearly all of them - except the PS2 ones, which I didn't have for a long time. Though those were not that hard.

Ninja Gaiden is fun, but I get my ass kicked everytime. Experience maskes perfection I guess :laugh:

NES Battletoads, 'nuff said.

TETRIS!!!!

'nough said.

Tetris - Don't let the slow speeds at which the blocks fall at first fool you. At higher levels, those fuckers fall like comets. Also, nobody has ever beaten it.

Tact bursts through the swinging saloon doors on a hot afternoon catching everyone's attention as they try to make out who just came in from the glare of the sun shining behind him creatin a dark shadowy sillouhet(sp?) of his figure.

He stood there staring, giving everyone a look as everyone stayed motionless and quiet curious as to what he might say...

"I did it." He said in a tired voice. "I...did...it..." he went on to say, "I beat tetris"

GASPS heard all around
"impossible!"
"LIES!"
"There is no end!"
"liar liar pants for hire! and shine yer boots fer a copper!" could be heard from everyone at the saloon even crazy ol bootshriner the shiner of boots.

but it was true! Tact did see the end. And after all the commotion died down a small voice could be heard from the back from little ol Maggy the saloon owners daughter..

"So what did you see?"

Tact looked at her deeply, a soul piercing stare that made little ol Maggy unconfortable she had to snap Tact out of it and remind him why he came here "hey stupid!" she said.

"oh yah!" tact said recovering cause he was just staring at her bewbs, "I saw...."

everyone stood motionless as they tried to make sure not to miss out on what he would say next

"I saw..... the ending credits!"

"ZOMG!"
"ZOMG!"
"ZOMG!"
"ZOMG!"
"Will 'Zomg' in surprise for a copper!"




lol. felt the need to get all dramatic there with some fiction. :p ps. it is said there are no credits for tetris! but there is! i saw them!!! >.<

lol also can't explain why i decided to make ffshrine a saloon. i think it fits though. :p

You are a LIAR!



Nah, just kidding. . . my brother beat tetris once. As for me, well, a fit of gamer's rage made me smash the Gameboy on the floor into a million pieces.

Kid Icarus

Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun / Renegade for the arcade. Plenty of people have trouble completing the first level, aside from the entire game, even on the easiest difficulty setting! Me, included. The furthest I've gotten is the final level.


http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m62/Mario_Kinnikuman/renegade-arcade.gif

Kid Chameleon (Genesis/Mega Drive)
Revenge of Shinobi (Genesis/Mega Drive)
God Hand (PS2)

Any of the Persona series.....especially Persona 3. Don't know why it kept giving me trouble.....

Megaman X2.

Seems to me that most of the games you guys listed are not that difficult (yeah because I played it).

Hardest: Hmmm I would say Shinobi(PS2), Godhand, and Tetris.

Take Shinobi and Godhand off that list, place Battletoads for the NES in their place, and you'll have an accurate post.

Megaman X2.
First Megaman I ever played. I liked it a lot, but it definitely doesn't beat Tetris, lol

Metal Gear 2....It took me days to play and month to finish this game, coz at first the damn gaming is so hard to understand...

Try playing forbidden siren without using a FAQ man it would take you some time to finish the game. Nocturne is good but the optional boss is really a bitch...

BATTLETOADS. Holy hell, was that game tough. Any level on a vehicle was an invitation to fail miserably.

Megaman X2.

That game was pretty damn hard, if you compare it to the rest...

How about Sports Illustrated for the GB Original ? :D

Tetris, Vib Ribbon (Full album) or Kurushi.....can't decide.

Touhou: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil on Lunatic Mode.

Holy shit.

Tetris

...nigger, please

Touhou: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil on Lunatic Mode.

Holy shit.

i didn't know what you were talking about so i googled it and saw some youtube vids and my jaw dropped to china. o_o

w...t...f!! lol.

also. why does it look like they were hit but they're still alive? which part of the "player" has to get hit to lose? cause i swear i saw some bullets just pass by some poeple. confused me but still pretty sick.

I am the Guy....Fuck that Fucking Game lol
and Devil May Cry 3

Rule of Rose

I never played it, but I'd have to say Ikaruga is a really hard game out there based on what people have said about the game itself.

I never played it, but I'd have to say Ikaruga is a really hard game out there based on what people have said about the game itself.

Nah, don't believe the hype. Gigawing is much harder.

Anyway, Ninja Gaiden for the XBOX, especially the Master Ninja Tournament. I had to step my attention span up for that game.

The 7th Saga, the first Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man Zero 1 & 2, I've never felt so damn frustrated in my life with any other VG.

The 7th Saga, the first Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man Zero 1 & 2, I've never felt so damn frustrated in my life with any other VG.

7th Saga was rukus! All that walking and you had to have the correct character for each town to activate the next quest. That red alien dude was cool though.

I couldn't stand that big robot thing making all that uproar while walking.

King's Knight for the NES

i second 7th saga.

add: megaman x6
shogun and medieval total war on expert... most brutal battles EVER! in two turns, enemy factions attack me with over 9000 men, against 120 of mine.

Undead Line for Genesis was a monster of a game. it's tough
as nails and if you die, you lose all your powerups and start all
the way back to the beginning of the stage, no checkpoints here.

Most of the Contra games can kick your face in too if you
are not prepared for it.

Silver Surfer for NES

Ikaruga

I'm normally decent at top-down shooting games. I was humbled by this damn thing.

Silver Surfer for NES

Yup. Easily, the hardest game I've EVER played. I never even reached one of the bosses in my life. Rediculously difficult. Awesome soundtrack, though.

Pikmin 2.I haven't beat it yet,cause of my stupid memory card.-_-

hmmm. red ninja.....the controls were so ridiculous I'm sure monkeys were the makers.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors. My friend and I could never get passed that spider boss.

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory.
The abilities you gained weren't permanent and you lost them if you died, so if you had a good collection you had to save frequently. Saving wasn't free and it was like 100 coins or something which wasn't cheap. The save points were only in the hub parts and you couldn't save during levels. So if you died and lost your abilities you had to either reload which was probably awhile ago, or just suffer with less abilities. Some of the abilities were quite essential like Maximo couldn't swing his sword twice in succession without the corresponding ability. Also the game had a lot of difficult platforming which was a major cause of death and losing your abilities. It also created a situation where you would die fighting a boss and lose your abilities, but since you still had more lives you would have to keep fighting the boss without your abilities. The game for some reason assuming that if you couldn't defeat it with a full arsenal that you would somehow do better without it. Frustration was my traveling companion.

Ikaruga was hard for me, too, at first. But it's a memorization shmup, and I eventually beat it after lots of practice. I had the most trouble with the final boss. It's bullet patterns are very confusing.

The Killzones were ridiculously difficult for me, and aside from them being awful games in the first place (why they are popular is beyond me) they were confirmedly designed to expect you to die all over the place, and that irritated me beyond belief.

KOTOR the Original had the 3 puzzles that were ridiculously annoying that made me buy a strategy guide almost immediately, stupid Korriban and Manaan puzzles...

Aside from that... pretty much every RTS because I hate how it's about Micromanagement and not Tactics, sigh... <_>.

Seriously, you douche? Almost a year old!

Cyber Cop for the Genesis, and Armored Core: Last Raven for the PS2.

I've looked, and there are NO YT vids for beating Cyber Cop. As for AC:LR, I think we can all agree that some(read; nearly all) of those missions are insanely hard.

Also, isn't Heaven or Hell mode on DMC3 the mode with 1-hit kills for everything? That's not too hard...

Seriously, you douche? Almost a year old!

What does that EVEN mean?

what doesn't it even mean

Exactly!

Immaturity - Intelligence Translator.

WTB - 50 GOLD.

Just 50? You is po'

I buy gold by the metaphorical truck loads!

Do you have one though, if not you're of no use to me.

There are so many tough Games I have played for over a decade, it is hard to describe what the tough ones are. Donkey Kong
Country 1, Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex, Dragonball Z; Budokai 1, & Devil May Cry 4 come to mind.

Those were difficult to you????
im still god at budokai 3 :P


okay hardest games. MGS1 and 2 on hardest (only at the choking parts if you only had a normal controller.)
Zool for mega drive (sorry but one screw up in that game and you were dead)
Dynasty warriors 4 (Nanman campaign level, their is over 1000men and if u get fire attacked, thats you in your base fighting off 300men for next 10 minutes or so making sure your general doesnt die, and then u leave him for 2 minutes to kill meng hou and suddenly GAME OVER, hes dead and your left their thinking WTF!? you had half health when i left you)

Those were difficult for you? I'm still god at MGS 1-4 and Dynasty Warriors everything.

not really doom, my point was i dont have or want to sprain my fingers, wrapping away at the triangle button. thats wat was difficult about MGS1 and 2, not getting owned at the choking parts, rest was simple enough. even Rex didnt pose that much of a threat.
Dynasty warriors 4, nanman campaign, u telling me u havent played through 20 minutes of it, then had to run all the way back to ur main camp, kill everyone they failed to kill, then run down again to find out some gate captain managed to own your general?

Besides what's been mentioned already, I'd say Toxic Crusaders for the NES. Because of its terrible controls, I never made it past the first stage. Course, I wasn't particularly motivated to try more than 10 or 15 times.

a classic.
battletoads.

a classic.
battletoads.

Even with save states, I never got past that stage where you have to outrun the big rats before they detonate a bomb.

i dont use emulators for NES games.

Okay. Any reason?

i have the game?

meh, emulators have always been good to me, except the DS ones that actually NEED a DS.
why cant someone make a DS emulator for a PC, iv downloaded a few and they have NEVER worked.

Ah. Me too. But my copy of Battletoads doesn't work anymore (I assume because of warped contacts). So I have two NES's that are collecting dust in my closet, and a few ROMs for when I'm feeling nostalgic. Oddly, sometimes I can get the games to work better on the NES if I put them in the Game Genie saddle first. But it's still rare if I can even get to the start-up screen.

Sprain your fingers? :-\

How hard are you pressing?

Also, I don't find the Nanman campaign all that hard with max level bodyguards.

Batman, for NES

Ninja Gaiden for the NES, because of the infamous enemy re-spawn on screen syndrome.

Pretty much anything on the NES that requires skill.

I still can't get past Death in Castlevania. Even with the ghetto save-state ability of the Wii can't make up for shite gaming skills.

Uh, the hardest game I ever played is probably Radiant Silvergun.

Those were difficult to you????
im still god at budokai 3 :P

Man by default I do think that DW4, theNanman campaign was hard, I have only managed to do it alone a few times and once was with Zhuge Liang and the other was with Ma Chao. But I do love that level.

Though the hardest would be the Zelda hack, Parrellel worlds.
Man my brother had to draw the damn layout of some of the Dungeons, it's insane.

Believe it or not... Doom 1 Episode 4 (Thy Flesh Consumed), Doom 2 Plutonia Experiment and Doom 2 Evilution all played in Ultra Violence difficulty or even worse... Nightmare. Hard as hell (literally) for those who havn't try, try it, you'll see :) As for Doom 3.. not hard even when played in Nightmare.. too easy for me.

New Zealand Story on Master System. So many portals that take you back 5 levels in annoying

I can tell you ALL the hardest game ever. It's a free downloadable game but is hard as hell

I wanna be the guy

sure it is only about 25 screens long but just the difficulty alone keeps you there for hours. I still can't beat it...

you can fing it here:

http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/downloads.php

silver surfer. it would take a miracle or a stroke of luck to beat this (without using the invincibility passcode)

I beat that on my fourth try (through the whole game. if I died i'd restart) when I was a kid it took a lot for a game to kill me. I don't think I really died in megaman X at all x-x6

Devil May Cry 3 on Dante Must Die mode...

Jesus...

Devil May Cry 3 on Dante Must Die mode...

Jesus...

not as hard as battletodas, but i second this.

Devil May Cry 3 on Dante Must Die mode...

Jesus...

I made it 3 levels into that, straight button mashing fury! Cerberus was too much for me though.

Agree with DMC3, but i got as far as the huge ass worm before i couldnt get further, he just got insanely hard if he knocked you on your ass your werent gettin up for a while.
I gotta say though, im having trouble with sephiroth on crisis core at the minute, 6800 damage in 1 hit on hardest mode. I wouldnt find it hard if i could understand the leveling system or if i equipped a dozen HP++, but they really screwed up limits in this game, i have x10 chance to get cissnei that will increase my DMW but it doesnt increase chance of limits at all, all it does is give me criticals. I dunno, i hope FF7 goes back to basic ATB if its ever re-released for next gen.

Castlevania and megaman are the hardest for me

Those were difficult to you????im still god at budokai 3 :P

Were you referring to me? If so, yep, they were. Same principle applies other genre Gaming types. E.g. Sports, Platform, Shooting,
Racing, Role Playing Gaming, & Vehicle Simulation. Even those whom are exceptional in a Platform/Action Adventure Game like Devil
May Cry 4 will still struggle with some levels, & attaining criteria's, as every new challenge pushes the Gamer to give all to achieve
a certain status. E.g. Beating Bosses, without being heavily inflicted with attacks.
As far as Dragonball Z: Budokai 3 goes, I can still hold my ground. I once used Gogeta (Super Saiyan 4) against Omega Shenron, &
it took a lot of concentration from me to overcome the battle, in both offense, & defense. And it was damn hard.

Beat a lvl 99 omega shenron with the lowest level hercule you can do, now that IS difficult, no transporting behind blasts. but i can easily beat shenron with teen gohan. i think teen gohan is the fastest character their is.
I wish they made burst limit more like DBZ budokai 3. i would love to play budokai 3 on the net.

Star Ocean 2: The Second Story, on Universe mode. That was STUPID. Especially trying to fight Indalecio without his limiter.

Why hello, Albedo~

hello, ma peche~

Believe it or not... Doom 1 Episode 4 (Thy Flesh Consumed), Doom 2 Plutonia Experiment and Doom 2 Evilution all played in Ultra Violence difficulty or even worse... Nightmare. Hard as hell (literally) for those who havn't try, try it, you'll see :) As for Doom 3.. not hard even when played in Nightmare.. too easy for me.

Nah, those were not that hard, I mean I can only say that because I play an online port and is used to shooting monsters and people but yeah..I can go through those any day.

Contra II (NES)
Double Dragon (NES on Supreme Master mode)

Couldn't get passed the first level on either one. But then again, I was high.

LOL Syobon Action....not the hardest but PISSES MY NERVES OFF.

I couldn't get over the fact that me and all my friends couldn't get passed the first level. I think more than 7 of us tried it with no luck.

Easily the hardest games I've ever played.

Lol i needed to see a walkthrough for the first level....game that made me feel most humiliated. I've never ever needed a walkthrough for a first level.

The hardest game, I've played is probably Alien Soldier.I've beaten the game, but it was really difficult to get through.

want a game where you really need a guide?

SIREN, for ps2.
however, brace for epic lameness

I tend to stay away from hard games but one that springs to mind is Xenosaga II. I found the first to be quite challenging but I did finish it and I felt mighty accomplished, but in the second one I didn't make it very far before I gave it away to my brother.

Did you do the optional bosses? It really is a matter of getting lucky enough, long enough, to buff up and pull off the combos you need.

Are you referring to I or II?

II.

I was a little confused, tbh, cuz you said II and then said "the second one" in reference to the next game.

Contra II (NES)
Double Dragon (NES on Supreme Master mode)

Couldn't get passed the first level on either one. But then again, I was high.

Yeah Contra 2 for the NES was very hard but the Arcade version is even worse. You will die in that game, and you have to be a contra god to beat the game without cheating and without using a continue.

Speaking of the NES, Journey to Silius is a pretty tough nut to crack as well. The game is out for your blood and it's not afraid to let you know it every few seconds.

Oh, and Deadly Towers. Enough said.

II.

I was a little confused, tbh, cuz you said II and then said "the second one" in reference to the next game.

Let's just say, I didn't make it too far into the game.

want a game where you really need a guide?

SIREN, for ps2.

I thought maybe that series of games seemed worth checking out, but after that comment... not so sure. I dl'ed the demo version of the new Siren game and it seemed all right. Should I even continue to consider it worth checking out?

After finishing the game, there is somewhat of a side storyline (I assume added for re-play value). I simply could not finish it... I think I made it to the last area of it, but I kept getting killed by the Gnosis there and I simply gave up. To this day, I have no idea what happens after that although I'm curious... but yeah... that game was hard at times.

As for my personal choice for this thread, I'd have to say Zelda II. That is the only Zelda game I have never finished and I will never go back to attempt to. The development for that game was utterly retarded. I mean, who makes you start the whole game over again if you forgot something within the first five minutes of the game? That game was utter FAIL.

I didn't have any trouble plaing SIREN...until I got to that railroad where that fucking ace sniper zombie kept killing me.

i only played the first one.

and my first impression is that it was gonna be not a hard game, but VERY frustrating.
one time, i had to use a guid just to see WTF i was supposed to do.
the guide said a very specific way, one which i would have never thought of.
plus, the story was kind of... lame, and very little comprehensive.

but thats not what i hated of the game.
i hated the UK voice actors and the digital faces PLATERED in the character's heads.
go watch a youtube video and youll understand.

I can't think of a super hard game right now cuz I'm sleepy, but I remember a minigame in SMT: Nocturne that still keeps getting on my nerves:the Pyro Jack puzzle challenge in Asakusa T-T

Ikaruga

that game is just sadistic

Aliens ps1 on Hard skill .Its endless

Ikaruga

that game is just sadistic

Just keep at it.I thought it was hard too, but you will get better.Treasure games are hard,but they aren't unbeatable.

For me the original Ninja Gaiden on the NES, I managed to beat it after a month of playing it over and over and sadly cheating with save states on an emulator. The thing that ticked me off was if you die within the last stages, you go all the way back to the part when you defeated Malth, god that annoyed me.

Ninja Gaiden Black was the hardest i'd played (short of the no-save NES games) until I found out about "ninja dog" mode. I actually enjoyed the game after that. I just don't have the time/patience to fight bosses in a game 20-30 times to beat them. Totally takes the fun out of the game for me.

Probably Mushihime-sama on Ultra mode...

For me it's Ninja Gaiden on XBOX...Very hard game:-P

Viewtiful Joe on Cube

Ninja Gaiden Black - stuck in very hard...
also [prototype] (on hard) stresses me out...
what else was hard enough to name it...
someone tried playin' P.N.03 with Papillon on hard first?(means with zero attributes and no auto-fire until you get enough points to unlock them) ^_^

Just keep at it.I thought it was hard too, but you will get better.Treasure games are hard,but they aren't unbeatable.

agreed.
i downright suck at this type of shooters.
my first saturn game was galactic attack, a generic arcade vertical shooter.
even on easy and with 8 lives, i cant get very far.

Un modded STALKER - Clear Sky, purely due to the absolute tedium of the beginning and end part of the game.

Forst few hours you roam around a swam, out gunned, vastly out numbered and have to pick off people one at a time untill you can scrape together enough for a real gun and some body armor.

The game then gets deceptively easy for the next 30 hours or so. Then, unless you've spoiled yourself, you enter the end area of the game....and find out you can't go back for any of your stuff. From this point on, it's purely a war of attrition. Enemies are thrown at you in stupid scripted events for the next few hours, and unless you've brought everything you've amassed with you, you are fucked. About 20 medkits, 40 bandages, and 3,000 rounds of ammo into the end game, I was spent, going from quick save to quick load, trying to take out people in power armor with a knife.

If I ever play the game again, I'll know to bring 60 med kits, 100 bandages, and at least 6,000 rounds of ammo.

The first Earthworm Jim. I could never get passed the stage where you have to escort Pete the dog from one area to another.

The stage was called "For Pete's Sake." That staged sucked so many lives. Argh!


Oh and Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox...wth.

i don't think i've really played a "hard" game for quite some time. frustrating, sure, but not really hard...

God Hand is pretty hard.

Contra: Shattered Soldier (I don't think I've ever achieved the good ending)

Games that come close:
- Soukaigi (f--- you bridge boss) (PSX)
- 7th Saga (maybe because I played Esuna one of the few games where I'm not excited about over leveling) (SNES)
- Streets of Rage 3 (using both player 1 and player 2 continues) (Genesis)
- Rollergames (NES)

hardest and longest SNES rpg EVER

i dunno, god hand was more a good timing game, like most beat 'em ups. i guess difficult for those with bad timing (like one of my friends, who tried to fight those bosses), though.

i think it's still a pain on harder levels.

It's also hard if you go for that extreme challenge.

No 'god hand',
No items,
No roulette wheel,
just punches n' kicks.

Kurohime (JP, PS2) was definitely another hard game.

For me, its gotta be Ikaruga on the DC. Its a great game but I just find it so difficult. I generally think modern games have generally become far more 'easier' than the old skool 2D games of the 90s

oh definately, games are much easier now with the endless checkpoints, respawn points, basically infinite lives, and so freakin many powerups. that's why i occasionally break out my NES still.

You just have to know where to look...but, yeah, games do seem to get easier.

Have you tried 'Elemental Gearbolt' for the PS2?
It's pretty hard...


Also, while not 'hard', but fun and creative is 'Blast Works' for the Wii.

Pacman.

I never went past level 2.

I would say that body harvest was difficult on easy but then I tried it on hero mode and it was pretty much unbeatable on java stage 2, oh and the castlevania games.

The first castlevania is hard. Can't get past the second level. Stupid flying Medusa heads.

A level 1 character in chaos mode in dynasty warriors is always a b----.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Super Robot Wars Impact

Shin Megami Tensei : Nocturne was difficult, but no where near as difficult as Virus : It Is Aware on the Playstation.

i never heard of that one :(

The Dark Spire (DS) - Dying a ton when you first play, and then having to get money (and dying in the process) to revive your fallen comrades makes this game really tough. I love it though. :)

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom - On Hard mode, it's really hard to stay alive because of all the status effects that you get.

Street Fighter III - Third Strike. I never could get past Gill. He's the only boss I ever gave up on in a fighter.

I second the idea that PACMAN is the hardest. GRRRRRR i wanna bash my computer whenever i lose.

Definitely Ninja Gaiden 2, camera is the thing in that game. Ugghhh!

Don't know anything about Shoot 'em up games though, they're for some serious masochists out there.

Halo 3 on Legendary is kinda hard at the moment, but that's due to me having a tendency to want to rush through it.

Xenogears on the psx, honest to god i couldnt even defeat a stupid robot in a cave ,i rememebr the only person in your party was bart, after my brother beat him for me i gpt stuck again against **MINOR SPOILER** a battle right after Fei wakes up from his coma.

n+ has to be the most difficult game I've actually beaten.

As for things I can't beat, fucking I Wanna Be The Guy (http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/i-wanna-be-the-guy/files/5/). Fuck this game. It's free, try it, then throw your monitor out the window.

Final Fantasy III DS. Or maybe it was too boring, can't decide which...

But it sure is fun watching people play it...

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=99BB5424E0E8BCB4

I wanna be he guy, wasn't made to be enjoyable, it was made to be challenging. And yeah, It's fun to watch people play it.
Hardest game ever played, the first Battletoads and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

TRANSFORMERS (NES) PRETTY HARD!!!!

But it sure is fun watching people play it...

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=99BB5424E0E8BCB4

Sometimes. I still get a little crazy just watching people play it, though. All that frustration comes back...

A game that requires me to have coherence and be focused? Any RTS, metal gear solid 2/3 were pretty difficult, especially Boss in MGS 3 even on the last difficulty setting.

Not many hard RPGs, if you keep armor and levels to a decent sufficiency then you should have a smooth ride through most of them.

Dead or Alive 4. Button reaction AI is a known horrible design choice. Hit punch BOOM counter throw. Start to press throw, BOOM counter throw your throw. Then theres the last boss, hmm lets make a clone of the best character, make her do a nonstop 19 hit combo thats unblockable, oh and why not throws that do 50% damage!

Ninja Gaiden 1, hard but kinda fair most of the time.

Ninja Gaiden 2, cheap. wonky camera compliled with monsters who only throw/suicide attack/explosive attacks lol.

Armored Core 4 Answer. Easy on normal, but the missions "Spirit of Mother Will" and "Base Destruction" on Hard were rediculous. Mother Will is the thing on the game cover as well as in the trailers the city size mech, having to fight it and a Armored Core while Mother will cover fires it was crazy. "Base Destruction" was worse though. After you pick the bad ending where you kill 10million people (creepy mission by the way, the guy was enjoying it waaaayyyy to much) you have to fight off 5 enemy Armored Core's all at once.

Xenogears had alot of hard moments but its still my fav game of all time. Like Calamity in the begining of the game, or Redrum in the sewers ect.

Front Mission (ALL OF THEM) the series is pretty hard lol, at least for me. Love the 3rd one though.

Killzone 2 on modes above normal, holy crap is this game difficult. Epic single player though.

Disgaea 3, kinda hard, you really have to think outside the box in this series.

(This spot is reserved for Demons Souls )

TMNT for NES was hard as hell!!

All Megamans for NES cause u couldnt jump for SHIT!!

God of War 1+2 on God mode

Ninja Gaiden 1,Black, and 2

NES
The Wizards and Warriors trilogy. Start with 3 lives... and no continues.

PS2
The American Chopper games. I love the series... the games sucked worse than a Hoover (Hoover is a company in AUS that manufactures Vacuum cleaners).

There are more, but I can't recall them at the moment.

The hardest game i ever played would have to be Chakan The Forever Man for the Sega Genesis, it's hailed as the hardest game ever made and they never bothered putting in an ending because they assume nobody would ever beat it lol and after that i'll say The Immortal for the Genesis and X-Men 1 and 2 for the Genesis and Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters on the hardest difficulty on the Genesis once again lol those are my top 5.

I just checked out a review of Chakan, and I have to say it seems pretty awesome.

I wouldn't feel that way if I had to play it, of course, but it seems awesome anyway. I'm a pussy gamer to begin with~

Did you come across the review on Youtube from Knightwing or Kwing(not sure what his YouTube channel is called again) If it was i also was watching his review a few days ago.

That's the one!

Donkey Kong....

ever since I watched that documentary "King of Kong" I have been addicted...
The randomness is brutal..

man i nearly killed myself trying to beat stage 2 of Strider.

A level 1 character in chaos mode in dynasty warriors is always a b----.

Aint that the truth... still, it is kinda fun... except when you run into a souped up 'Cockroach head' who pwns you.

As stated on Wikipedia
Upon defeating this second set of levels, Chakan is treated to an ending in which his curse is not lifted. After the credits roll for some time, he is allowed to fight an extremely difficult enemy boss (consisting of an H.R. Giger looking creature on a throne carried by what appear to be midgets). The player only gets one try. Doing this without the aid of an emulator with the ability to save and load game states is virtually impossible.

If the player succeeds at this task, they receive the "real ending" which was unfortunately not implemented by the game developers. It consists of the hourglass background used in the plot exposition screens but without any text.

A sequel was planned and developed somewhat by Ed Annunziata's studio AndNow, but no new information about the project has been released since 2001. It was planned to be released for as many current platforms as possible, according to Ed Annunziata himself in an interview with SegaFans during May 2001.

Much of the work on the Chakan sequel was later absorbed into the 2002 game Blood Omen 2, as discovered by fans of the series.

Chakan the Forever Man... gods, I remember that game. I also remember getting extremely frustrated with it as well. Believe it or not, I still possess my copy of this game... sitting next to my Alisia Dragoon and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Games.

Hardest game for me Batman&Robin (Gen).

to Xiahou, Sonic the Hedghehog 3 & Knuckles was great but the final two bosses for sonic (not the stupid doomsday boss) were killer. it was so annoying to hit the timing properly.

Hardest because it was horribly made: Superman 64

Hardest because the difficulty is a part of the design: Gradius III

Yes, Gradius III is absurdly difficult. You can't even use continues, if you lose all your lifes (very easy task), it's Game Over.

Hardest because it was horribly made: Superman 64

Hardest because the difficulty is a part of the design: Gradius III

I never owned Gradius 3 but my cousin did. Id go over and play it and her house. Me and my friend were able to finish the game without losing a life. Its was pretty crazy lol.

Perfect Cherry Blossom. o__o;;

Why would anyone make an unbeatable game like that?

That game store I was talking about earlier still had the Ninja Turtles Fighting game and after watching Turtles Forever I've been seriously considering it, Would you recommend it?

As a beatable challenge: Contra: Hard Corps

As a "how the hell was I supposed to finish this if it wasn't on Easy Mode and I had like infinite continues": Radiant Silvergun

As a beatable challenge: Contra: Hard Corps

As a "how the hell was I supposed to finish this if it wasn't on Easy Mode and I had like infinite continues": Radiant Silvergun

Agree with CHC; game is prob the hardest of the Contra series.

RS is also insane. I beat it on hard, once.
Either that or I was really high and thought I beat it.

Question: you choose the hardest game for it�s difficulty or bad design (bad controls, camera, etc)?

golgo 13 top secret. i think thats whats it call. a nintendo game. nes had the hardest games because there was no saves. you would have to go straight through it. no stopping

The Wizards & Warriors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuros) trilogy...

Hard games, made harder by the fact you only have three lives and no continues. Fun... fun... fun... ... not.

Pacman, because there is no ending to the game. You only ever end up out of lives even after 350+ levels.

I never played the original Pac-man - it never got my attention. Does it auto-generate levels or something? Damn, a never-ending game, lol, belongs with that never-ending story, I forgot its name =p

Sheesh. This topic brings back unpleasant memories...
Oh well. Here's my list:

Ghosts 'n Goblins (NES): The first video game I ever played that really tried my patience.

Gradius III (SNES): The North American version was watered down but it's still frustrating as hell.

Gradius V (PS2): I've lost track of the number of times I cursed at my TV while playing this. It doesn't help that the game taunts you every time you lose all of your lives.

Contra: Hard Corps (GEN): It still makes me mad that the Japanese version had a health bar that was removed for the North American release...

Double Dragon II (GB): The bosses in this game were ridiculously cheap. It almost feels like the programmers were playing a prank on you.

Question: you choose the hardest game for it�s difficulty or bad design (bad controls, camera, etc)?
Fail design doesn't count for me.

There's a LOT of games that control like crap or just suck so they're hard to beat.

Unless it's something game breaking, like a camera on PCP or a shoot-em-up with bad lag.

I never played the original Pac-man - it never got my attention. Does it auto-generate levels or something? Damn, a never-ending game, lol, belongs with that never-ending story, I forgot its name =p

It's been a while but I think it's just the same maze over and over again with the fruit placed in different locations.

rad racer for nintendo. and russian attack
