Hardest Video Game Ever?

Re: Hardest Video Game Ever?

As much as I admit that Ninja Gaiden was difficult, I never really thought it was super difficult. I beat all difficulties on a faulty Xbox in under 10 days (in order to return it to the store and be within the 10 days return policy).

I mean I would agree that something like DMC3 on DMD mode is much harder than Ninja Gaiden on even the hardest difficulty. The original Ninja Gaiden for NES was awesome and I'd probably say that was harder.

Re: Hardest Video Game Ever?

to me, hardest game revolves around the entire game being hard. not just 1 mode or 100%ing being insanely hard. that's why i mentioned the games i did.... whereas many of you are merely talking about 100%ing or doing something on the hardest difficulty, etc.

never played pilot wings. don't really know anything about it.

Rogue Squadron was pretty rough to get all Golds on. I never actually did it. Got pretty close though and spent months playing it. All around a great game.

Re: Hardest Video Game Ever?

I don't think there is a "hardest game ever".

Certainly there are video games which are hard. And any difficulty in a game is relative to all the other games out there, past and present.

If what is meant by "hardest game ever" is "hardest game to beat" then there are many games which tie with this, namely all video games which aren't possible to beat. Many of the old arcade games are this way/etc. Also many joke games are this way.

If a game has been beaten without a single continue by anybody it is not the "hardest game ever". Also if it has been completed to 100% by anybody it is not the "hardest game ever" either.

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

Without guides, this game is near impossible.

this person obviously used a walkthrough. This level would normally take a few hours to figure out if not days.

I thought God Hand was pretty hard.
Damn Great Sensei boss.

Touhou games are hard to me D=

Re: Hardest Video Game Ever?

Rushy... that's a pretty ignorant thing to say. Have you never seen a speedrun before? People spend months or years perfectly 1 game, talking to other masters of the game for small tips and tricks to shave seconds off their runs time. It's perfectly possible the recorder of that vid had played the game countless times previously and recorded a run after much practice. clearly it isn't his first time playing.

reminds me a bit of the new Prince of Persia games (by new, i mean the 3d ones like Sands of Time). You get into a room and have to figure out how to get to the next room. With bad guys, traps, mazes, puzzles, etc etc. not all that hard, sine you're limited in the stuff you can do pretty heavily. there are only so many areas with hand holds, etc etc. places to jump.

Was just about to mention that, but once you figure out the area in which you can't get hit, they're rather easy. It's just the harder modes themselves that get you.

Obscure text-based games. The ones where the commands are so strange that you'd either need to talk with someone who had gotten through it, or consult a walkthrough to get anywhere.

Its def still hard, no matter what. The precision needed to get into those areas are so crazy.

Re: Hardest Video Game Ever?

I agree with Tass...
Superman 64 is one of the hardest games because of the delayed play.
Trying to control it is like trying to FC Death Piano without avmiss fix.
Its just NOT possible.

Second game I think is hard would have to be...
Dr. Heckle and Mr. Hyde?
I think thats what it was called. It was for the NES.
I never understood what to do... I would just be walking and get hit by lightning and have to die a whole bunch of times then have to restart.

I don't find Touhou games that hard for some reason...
You just need to find the hit boxes since they are SUPER small.

I Wanna Be The Guy. No doubt in my mind.

Just play the game a lot and figure out the strategy. You'll learn how to control your character and you'll also memorize the patterns. It stops being hard then.

If you're talking about a bit of randomization with it, PoFV is not hard at all. I'd be surprised if you didn't finish.
