For me was one of those Dead Space 2 on hardcore, I had to memorize every respawn area before completing it

RE series (upper difficulties), DMC3 and well, various trophies and unlockables drove me crazy too.

Shinobi (2002) the final boss, On normal he was ***** to finish off

Uncharted 1 on Crushing difficulty.

None. I'm a little ***** and play games on normal and even easy if the character is supposed to be a ****ing badass.

Probably the hardest game is Super Meat Boy but I threw my controller on the last ****ing level. Never got around in completing it.

Not sure.

Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero!? maybe.

Modern Warfare on veteran difficulty. I start off every game's SP on the hardest difficulty it'll allow, as I rarely ever feel compelled to play story mode again once I've finished the story. MW was so confounding on veteran that I took a good six month or so break from playing it.

Gears of War on insane solo, Gears 3 on insane solo, and Gears Judgement on insane while doing the declassified missions solo. I also beat DMC 4 on the one hit die mode and Arkham Origins on the difficulty where if you died it reset your game.

Out of this World/Another World by Interplay:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_World_(video_game)

It was the hardest video game I ever completed but it was amazing. Keep in mind I came from the old-school days of video-gaming where ALL the games are stupid difficult.

Another World was so difficult because, many times, there was no initial clue to figure out how to proceed. For example, you get into a tank and, without knowing the native language, have to figure out how to fire the main cannon to proceed by pressing a series of buttons...in a language you don't know. As a kid, this was stupid. As an adult, this would be easy on PC: just take a screen shot, die, and figure out what the symbols mean with process of elimination. In the game, you just have to suck it up and die 20-40 times until you figure out what those f*cking symbols and lights mean. That's just one sequence out of dozens in the game, by the way: the whole game was like that.


Battletoads? Easy...we (my brothers and uncles) beat that shit no problem: we didn't even consider it a tough game, compared to others we played, back in the day. I still don't understand why everyone thinks this game is so hard. Memorizing timing on button presses is not very difficult, imo. Most kids can do that if they have patience.

A good mention is Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I never really beat this game. I thought I did but I found out, recently, that I needed to play through a second time in order to have "truly" beaten this game.


Here's another game that was stupid difficult to beat: F-Zero GX for the Gamecube. Did anyone here actually beat the "story" and the highest difficulty? If so, there is a sequence where you have to fly though a tunnel against an enemy and you get only 3 boosts. I probably did that single missions/race 100 times before I finally beat it. Does anyone remember that part? I forget what that was but, for me, that was probably the hardest single "level" I've ever played on any video game, ever.

Edit - This is the level I'm talking about in F-Zero GX:

Don't be fooled: that guy makes it look easy.

I hated the first Gears on Insane when you go up against Raam, Until i found out a trick to beat him.

I also almost beat Batman AO in I Am The Night mode but I kept dying just before facing joker, due to some stupid error I made because of confidence, I will try again later on though.

Mass Effect series on insane was quite a challenge too, but it wasn't that hard imo.

I'm currently trying to beat Alien Isolation on the new difficulty added via update. The motion sensor is broken and shit is scarce, just like a survival horror should be.

Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2 challenge mode highest difficulty.

100% completion of Crash Bandicoot.

I would throw a grenade to disperse the kryl then unload on his head. Then I tossed a grenade but right before it exploded he sent them after me and that was it. I remember getting so mad at myself because I thought "man I wasted my nade" then the cut scene and I was like Ooh yeah grenades do damage also haha.

I died in the fun house while saving the hostages because I walked into the electrified water. I was so super pi$$ed.

F**king shitting! I'm with you here, man. I forgot how demonically difficult this game was. haermm

I'll be honest, I never even passed the first part on highest, which blew ass because you had to clear all of it to earn everything.

Damn, I wish they had a fresh idea for a new F-Zero entry... and followed through with it.

Ninja Gaiden II on Master Ninja. Absolutely f*cked. I have yet to play Dark Souls, and it's only my list, but I have a hard time believing it comes close to this sh*t. This was just too much.

.

All i did was hide behind one of those blocks and Raam just stood there on the other side, I threw a grenade and once the Kryll dispersed switched to my lancer which i set up with one bullet and active reload, Rinse & repeat.

Always have an extra save file handy (on cloud or something) when it comes to I Am the Night...

I'm sure Isolation's hardest difficulty doesn't mess around.

I think my friend said something like that but I couldn't get that to happen for me lol. Wish I could have because it was nuts.

The game itself is a little unfair to begin with, this difficulty just make it frustrating tbh.

Ah yes... Either Left 4 Dead on expert is no easy feat and definitely worthy of mention, whether you include the commonly used exploits/glitches to beat them or not.

Not Gonna lie. I found that game to be challenging but not HARD

Hardest game ive beaten?
Contra: Shattered Solider on hard mode,
the AVGN game
Ninja Gaidan 2 on xbox (took me like 6 months to beat it)
the first two metal slugs
KOF 98 on hard mode. Omega rugal is cheap as hell

Ninja gaiden and this war of mine

Digital Devil Saga.

Limbo, but only while trying to earn the trophy for dying less than five times through the entire game.

It took me about 30+ attempts, and I almost had an aneurism, but I did it!

Contra (no cheats)
Super Mario Bros. 1
Battletoads (probably the hardest game I've ever finished)
Wolfenstein (1st FPS I've played)

REmaster HD, those bloodie crimson heads. Hardest Resident Evil ever.

Yea, and i mention left 4 dead before all of the different exploits were exposed. MY friends and i found most of the shortcuts and and cheats on our own before they became youtube favorites. To this day, if you try and beat L4D without the shortcuts it's still an extremely trying experience because of the AI generator. My friends and i discovered most of the cheats that are now commonly used orhave been patched before they reached the internet. That game remains my favorite game experience of all time.

Another one worth mentioning is, Enslaved. Beating that game on perfect was a frustrating example of trial and error.

Legend of Dragoon?

Dark Souls 1.
Completely finishing Sen's Fortress and getting everything in it was murder. The hardest part are all of the traps, and going in there with a high soul level may make you regret it if you lose them all. DS2 was a big let down compared to the first one. Well at least to me it was.
