Outkastprince Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 There aren't too many games that stump me in ways that make me feel I can't game, but they do exist, I believe they exist for every gamer out there. You know, that game that makes you turn off your console after an hour of fighting the same boss, an hour of going through the same level or even an hour of looking at the same darn puzzle. One such game, for me at least was Ninja Gaiden 2. That game took away my manhood and left it on the floor for others to play with. It was the type of game that made me forget Ninja Gaiden existed and made sure Role-playing games were the only type of genre I would ever truly enjoy. Ethan Hunt would have given up on this game. What are some of the hardest video games you've encounter? Tell us of your shame, post pictures and give us reasons for why the game was difficult.

SixTwoSixFour Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I really didn't find NG2 that hard. I'm not bragging, or anything- NG1 sure kicked my ass, that's for sure- but for some reason I just handled 2 okay. It seems like I'm posting God Hand in every thread now, but seriously, God Hand. It's a hard game. A ball-bustingly hard game. It's hard... ...But fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewblaha Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I will second Ninja Gaiden 2 as well as Ninja Gaiden (from the Xbox) I have played through and beaten Kaizo Super Mario Worlds one and two. I've also played through I Wanna Be the Guy and got all the way up to past Dracula. Fuck the rest of that game. Though real games and stuff like that, I'll throw my hat to Demon's Souls as well as Mega Man 3. Mega Man 3 is easily the hardest Mega Man game of them all.

Cyber Rat Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I still haven't finished God Hand. There's this one section after the Kung Fu demon boss that I just can't beat. And everytime I pick up the game, I have to start from the beginning because fuck trying the hardest section of the game after not playing it for months.

diedan Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 TMNT for the NES. Because of the damn electric purple seaweed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 That underwater level was awful. The game for me was pretty much "pre-water and post-water" level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diedan Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 For me, it was always pre-water level, water level, ragequit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintycrys Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Ninja Gaiden 2 is a game I played through and did not die a single time on the normal setting. Harder setting gave me minor trouble, but nothing like getting ambushed by only 3 Black Spider Ninjas while walking the streets of Vigoor in Ninja Gaiden Black. God Hand is def. hard, as is Vanquish (try those challenge missions). Personally, I like my RPGs to kick my ass. Eternal Sonata on Encore mode is fitting the bill, as I haven't played any RPG this outright difficult since Shadow Hearts: From The New World (the only game whose battle system even comes CLOSE to Grandia XTreme's).

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Obligatory Demon's Souls post. It's not to much the difficulty as it is the learning curve. Even then, it's still difficult and you have to keep your game up at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jimmeh Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I have to agree with Ninja Gaiden 1 on the XBox. Just the right amount of challenging I found. Took some getting used to, but I always came back for more. Same with Devil May Cry 3 and 4. I found parts of those to be pretty tough (some of the bosses, like Virgil in DMC3).

Commander Shepard Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 The Adventures of Bayou Billy on the NES. The game that made us men. The game that had an amazing soundtrack, and controller snappingly difficult gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 The NES just plain didn't give a shit about difficulty balancing. I'm pretty sure there were no trade-ins back in the day, so if the game was too hard? Huh huh huh fuck you, kid. We got your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Shepard Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Ikaruga, though really, any Bullet Hell shmup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Battletoads for NES. I never got past the speeder bike level. I don't play shmups, which I suppose are probably the hardest genre of modern games. I think the most difficult modern game playthrough I've played must be Europa Universalis on a harder difficulty as some minor country in Asia. Straight-up overall hardest modern game I've played is either Dwarf Fortress (which I suspect doesn't count) or Super Meat Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I'll agree with God Hand for sure. Man that game is great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Yea, God Hand is brutally hard but you never feel cheated in the game. You know it's your fault for dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuam4n Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Ninja Gaiden 2. I got all the way to the water dragon boss fight and rage quit because, I had no arrows, and the checkpoint started you back where you couldn't buy any. I was not going to do that whole level again for arrows. Demons Souls was kinda hard for me, not too bad like it was for some people though. SMB is kicking my ass, however.

D-K Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Battle Toads, Turtles on Nes, and Demon's Souls have all been mentioned I see.
