What are hardest games that you have ever played?
& by that I don't mean just adventure games. I mean period.
Lets do it in this format.
Computer- I wanna be the guy. This game is just insane, you have shit trying to kill you with ever step you take.
Retro Game- Final Fight (SNES). I never could make it past the cop (the 3rd boss).
Modern Game- Ninja Gaiden (XBOX). I mean this game is legendary for its difficulty. I know that this is a bit cliche... but it really is that hard.

Retro: Legacy of the Wizard for NES! You are given a HUGE, puzzling dungeon to explore, but nobody tells you exactly what your supposed to DO in there, you just have to figure it out.
Modern: Ikaruga(GC version). I suck at the game so bad, it hurts
Final Fight is awesome, still plays brilliantly today. The PSP version is a bit easy though because you can just keep topping up the credits. The only way to make it difficult is to limit yourself - pretend you only have a certain amount of money to spend on the arcade.
I've always been rubbish at Pacman. Found Flicky quite hard too.
Amen to that. Especially the Black edition. Unfortunately, I have the Xbox Originals download version, and I learned the hard way that you lose all of your saves when you disconnect the HDD... would have been nice to know, since I was at the final boss... >.<
Another toughie: X2: Wolverine's Revenge. Pretty fun game, but if I ever hear the name "Wendigo" again, I will snap.
Predator (Amiga version anyway) is also really difficult.
Shadow of the Beast 1&2 were really hard the first times I played them, but not so much anymore.
Oh my, so many hours of my childhood wasted on that mini-game. And I still haven't beat the final boss
<shudder>
I didn't know that one. I will try to play it, but the Torture starts with the Download at 28 KiB/s
See... I actually didn't find that part too difficult.
Be sure to give us your thoughts afterwards... and check out some of the playthroughs on YouTube. Pure comedy gold.
For me, it's Bionic Commando Rearmed. I started off OK, but it quickly got to the WTF? point. Actually enjoyed it up until then too. Oh well.
That would spoil it. I am laughing like hell already because of the absurd things happening ^^
It's even worse than Sierra games
But don't worry, you'll be on YouTube soon enough, if just to figure out how the holy hell certain screens are passable. *evil grin*
I think so too
When i was designing levels for my Boulderdash style game, I built in as much traps as possible too, but they were at least following the consistent game logic ^^
My testers hated me for that, but so i knew the levels worked as intended.
Come to think of it, the final fight in Tekken 5 was a bitch too. Bastard has two unblockable attacks that do half a life bar of damage & he usually does one after the other at the beginning of the fight (& that is on easy). It is the only game I can actually recall getting so pissed that I broke things at.
MK1? I can beat that in my sleep.
MK2? Much harder, but I can still beat it.
The 3D MKs? Even easier than MK1.
But in MK3, I'm lucky to finish three matches before the AI goes into overdrive and slaughters me with uber-combos. Ugh.
Megaman: Network Transmission for the GCN is also pretty bad; I never beat the first boss.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is horribly tough, as well as the Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog games.
Earthbound was pretty hard too. I really had to grind to beat that.
Quest For Glory 2, Broken Sword 2, most AGI games, and SCI games.
I've played a lot of really hard games that have made me say I hope I never have to do that again, and made me grind my teeth in frustration.
I could go through Metroid, Ocarina of Time, SOCOM, Metal Gear Solid, Trilby-Art of Theft, Cave Story, Final Fantasy, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, etc. etc.
But the hardest, most impossible, horrible, anger inducing, teeth shatteringly hard game I have ever played....is Superman 64. Someone shoot the man who made that. It is, without a doubt, truly horrible. It's difficulty is in it's awfulness.
Yet again... I never had a problem with Mario or Sonic. Its cool to see things like this... I mean it really shows you what type of games people are most experienced with.
Thats not hard. Just let the game running and do something else.
But I agree the
"Solve my maze!"
Ikaruga is stupidly tough. I've never made it past the opening of level 3.
Viewtiful Joe was pretty solid too - Fire Leo broke my heart, knowing I was so close to the end of the game but that I'd never be able to beat that bar-steward. I still haven't.
Other than that it's the usual suspects - Ghouls & Ghosts, the Ninja Gaiden series, and Contra. Contra 4 on the DS is hard as nails.
Oh, and retro-style? Jet Set Willy. The Banyan Tree. 'Nuff said.
I've never beaten it, but every once in a while I'll pop it in and try again, for old times sake.
<shrieks like a little girl>
<curls up into the fetal position in the corner>
Yolanda - this was advertised as a "great challenge" but was so ridiculously difficult it was unplayable.
Fire and Brimstone - extremely difficult, but not quite unplayable. Nowadays it can probably be completed using savestates on an emulator (if you are patient enough).
The single most difficult point-and-click adventure I have ever played is The Bizarre Adventures Of Woodruff And The Schnibble. Not only is it illogical but there are certain parts of the game that require you to do things a number of times until the action works, without any clue that it'll eventually do something. So even with incredible patience and by using trial and error you may still never complete it. I gave up and started looking at walkthroughs. And it's possible to reach a "game over" in various places by doing things that don't seem all that dangerous.
On SCUMMVM I think it is actually unfinishable. Even after resorting to a bunch of walkthroughs I'm right at the end of the game and can't seem to get something to work!
It's a shame because it's a really entertaining and funny game. It's just so illogical and random.
Those of you brave enough to face some monstrous puzzles, go play The Fool's Errand. May your minds meet the challenge...and yes, I have beaten this game in its entirety.
That's the point, It's Disgaea in platform format.
Speaking of Disgaea, I add it to the list. Why? Well, if you don't grind a LOT you are going to get your behind turned into a pile of bloodied meat sponge. By the way, The level cap is 9999.
