Hardest Game You ever Played

Respected All,

As the Thread title suggest Post the most difficult game you ever encountered so far. (For PC, PS3 and Xbox 360+ WII)
it may seem litle crazy to create thread like this but this will help identify the hardest game ever.
so please post if you dont mind wasting your little time :-D

.

here goes mine
Demon's Soul , RPG Action
Reason:- Very much unforgiving gameplay. there are long levels and if die in last boss fight (which will be obvious for this game) you ll have to start from beginning. there is no save point in between. so it will ask for your time. i played it for almost 20 days (4-5 hours a day) and i did not completed even 25% of the game.( though I am not a skilled gamer at all) :mrgreen:

Platform:- PS3..

Post yours and lets see which game deserves hardest game title...

Umm,IIRC We had a thread for this?

thanks for pointing out

oops tried to search before post but did not get so what should we do?
By the way what is your game ????

Monster Hunter Freedom 2(PSP)

^^ Little game description will give information to other if you dont mind

...
For me playing on PSP was like hell as i could not manage to complete any game with small screen only completed game was assassins creed blood line.

Dark souls , resident evil 4 on hardest difficulty

iittopper said:
Dark souls , resident evil 4 on hardest difficulty

Agreed On both..
Actually AFAIK Dark soul is Some what spiritual successor of Demon's soul.

Dark Souls. Died like a million times.

^^^ Same here after playing demon's soul i was dead even against small enemies.. thats why i did not buy dark soul because i knew it was not for me: :cry:

G

God of War 2 on highest difficulty on PS2...finished it like 15 times

Far cry 3 on hardest.

A

Empire Earth , Faster than light.

Age of Empires

S

Battle toads and islander. Never finished these games

please provide little description of all the game you mention if possible

Very misleading thread title. The title implies that this is a thread for hard games, but the poll is about what difficulty you play games at. What is this thread about exactly?

^^yeah right...mistmatch

According to me all games are hard if u play them in their hardest mode...
and I have played so many don't remember which was the Hardest

change the title pls
anyway my hardest
Prince of persia forgotten sands -the final climb
Before final fight,prince have to go up which is the hardest for me and i did that
you have to freeze the water,memory the blocks and release the freeze....hell i dont ever forget that

Super Mario :-D

When I was little, Dave was the hardest. But then I learned it. And finished it many times.
These days, I am trying to play super hexagon, and its damn difficult.

Not exactly. I have played DA2 at hardest and it was a walk in the park.

i agree that every game is hard on hardest difficulty setting.
Just give a try to demon's soul on even normal difficulty and you will notice the defferance.
Even on normal i was loosing my life like hell.
So my point is there are few games which are quite unforgiving. Other may be dark soul prepare die edition or so....
There are few game which are easy on even highest possible setting....

and for poll ohh i understand.. My bad actually. Didnt thought first..
Mod please remove poll if possible...

Nice thread.

Even I'd a similar event in sands of time, where the prince has to cross a ditch by walking on two walks simultaneously, and boy, I just couldn't do that. But a friend of mine did it like a piece of cake and I kept my mouth open watching it.

@sujay thanks for the complement bro....

i guess he tried the game in hardest difficulty. enemies make decisions at lightning speed.

IGI : I am Going In. ( Part 1 and Part 2)
Played it several years ago , when I was a kid. Till date , I found it to be the hardest game , I ever played.

Games like COD,BF,Splinter Cell are like a walk in the park compared to it.

sam said:

I don't think it's like that. They just get too much resources to start with which makes them faster. If one has good defence with quick keyboard action (which AOE is all about), then hardest can be handled.

and one of my friend wanted me to finish that level only and i said "get it done its the only hardest in that game" and he downloads Final Level patch and patched it

Not every game is too hard even on hardest difficulty. DA2, C2 etc are prime examples of the fact, they are easy even on hardest.

Super Mario Bros. on NES. Damn that took me 3 years to finish.
Double Dragon on NES is close second.
Easiest were Dragon Ball on Game Boy Advance and Max Payne 2 on PC.

S

Battle toads on NES is widely regarded as hardest game ever made. There was a stage in the game where you are riding a vehicle and you need to dodge stuff and it was freaking impossible. The game had lots of cheap deaths. Me and my friend tried like hell and we coudnt even get past 3 stages.
But what amazes me is that there are people on youtube who has finished this game with no deaths.

Islander was another game which i found way too difficult bec once you die in that game you loose all your firepowers and then it becomes difficult to get past even the 1st frog.

@sandeep you are to the battle tod was like a hell on nes. I was kid and never played it though but when i played game like demons soul i felt this game is too hard for me.

S

Demon souls was hard but it was doable.

Qwop ...

@sandeep For me it was like hell to deal with could not complete :cry:

Click here, if you have what it takes
You have been warned...

then that might be a Bug :wink:

Captain Claw );

^ THIS !!!!!!
I remember the mermaid cove and i gave up afterwards

Hmm, no mention of DmC3 till now..

for me, DmC3, Midnight Club 2, Contra

, damn i used to complete contra in one go in my childhood, and now i tried it online, couldn't get past the 3rd level..

DmC3 is one of the best and hardest for me in the whole DmC series.
Midnight Club 2, hell one of the hardest racing games i ever played..

Now i shall start Dark Souls, and let's see how i find it..

S

Above video has DMC3 at number1. I played PC version and didnt find it that difficult. But the video states that orginal DMC3 was very difficult and unplayable and they then re released it with lesser difficulty.
Contra wasnt hard you only had 3 lives which was lot less. But still we did manage to beat the game numerous time with 3 lives.

Also i have to mention Diablo3 Inferno difficulty before the patch. You would die in 2 hits in ACT2 no matter what you were wearing.

Zangetsu said:

Nope not a bug. I am expert in DAO game. Completed it on Nightmare difficulty and then played DA2, walk in a park.

T

The Myst series, all of them. Would tear my hair out on certain occasions.

God of War 1 - not the fights, but walking on beams etc was a real pain.

I don't know about AOE1, but in AOE2, the AI cheats at hardest difficulty - adds 200 of each resource every hour IIRC.

Crysis 2 on the hardest,

Only one or two mission was hard only.. some border crossing or something and the last mission.

no dude its really difficult on the "post-human war" difficulty(the highest) the aliens pwn u so much...it may seem easy coz you have nanosuit but it isnt...

Nerevarine said:

C2, is probably one of the easiest games ive ever played..

try s\to say that when you play on post human war difficulty :wink:

and also i had to play on 800x600 with the lowest possible settings with low fps

if you are giving low fps and setting and res as factors to make a game difficult, then till two years back, all of the games i had played were my toughest.

anyway, C2 at Post Human difficulty aint that tough.

try playing Dark Souls. and you'll know what tough difficulty level means.

mine would be Maxpayne 2 as my pc couldnt take it then and was lagging in such bad way that I had seen the bullet travel pixel by pixel in breaks much more slow (rather stop and play motion) than that of the bullet time itself

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre Expansion Pack. Most difficult shooter i have ever played once you approach the latter missions. It is basically like Dead Souls, just replace sword with a gun. You learn by dying.

arijitsinha said:

Border crossing was easy. Only the last as well as last second mission was really difficult because of the armored soldiers.

You can't give an excuse of FPS and all for a game being difficult and all. The game is difficult when you are getting 50 FPS and still can't complete the mission or quests.

i remember jedi knights 2 the old republic , a game with light sabre, very very old 1 CD game, was very big and so tough, it was incredibly difficult to beat the bosses with sabres coz they were so dope with em as siths, moreover it took 50% of the game just to became a jedi knight from padawan and grab you're first light sabre, the training was also as tough as with "Nana patekar in Prahar". The last boss and a few minions before it, if i remember correctly , i played more than 30 times to beat.

Farenhite: Indigo prophecy was tough for me, never played anything like it before, and after too.

Doom3 : not that tough but it had something which scared the living s#it outta me, it was almost a challenge to complete that game.

Call of Chulhu : The game seemed tough to me, half the thing i dint understand back then, was very tough for me to comprehend the idea behind the missions.

Gears of War : Killing "Raam", it was nightmare. I will update this list once i remember more

half life 1 and 2, Sin : not to be said tough but yes it stormed braincells a LOT.

That is one of the funniest posts I've ever read. Nana Patekar, hahaha.
Also, KOTOR is one of the greatest games ever made, very similar to baldurs gate and neverwinter nights and had an epic story bundled with more than epic game play. It was not hard at all.
Also, Indigo prophecy? Really? That game was just a heads of quick time events and nothing else. Well I can understand if you have bad reflexes, but then if you do, you'd find it difficult to even play God of war.

Was not talking about KOTOR, it was a different game, it was not an RPG. Indigo prophecy had glitches of late game reactions, lots of em, we had like pentium processors and Geforce 5200, i had a bad experience, might want to come up in a last man standing flak cannon match in UT GOTY in godlike difficulty with me with 30 bots ? , will see how ur "muscle reflexes" are

Oh, my bad in regards to the KOTOR goofup.
And why the hostility? I just said your post was funny because of the Nana patekar reference.

who said i was not funny

no hostility mate, games are games man, some play it for fun, some for money, some for none or both, every or no game is hard for one or another. its just perspective.

even playing serious sam in hard is not a cake-walk

Crusaders- might and magic ...man it was tough at later stages

wasn't much of a challenge as my partner was alive. died a couple of times but thats it. the fight before RAAM was difficult due to those exploding/kamikaze mutants.

Pure mechanics that takes years to master!

AOE- any version on expert... never won
Jill of the jungle - kind of hard
Chessmaster 4000 - this thing keeps guessing future moves(both ends) till you make your next move. too difficult to win.

Stalker series on master difficulty.
Civilization series on anything above warlord difficulty
Dota 2 ranked team matches...... (sometimes enemy team is good and sometimes our side sux)

I think he meant the strategies... ranging from which tree to cut (so as to pull multiple camps ) to queueing our abilities so as to sync with our team abilities in order to do a team wipe.

Civilization 5: Brave new world. Damn those other leaders. Whenever I attack they vote against me. Whenever I go the political way they attack me. Never found the balance in between.

For the uninitiated Civilization V is a turn based strategy game where you control a nation or rather a president to make your civilization the greatest in the world. You fight for beneficial tiles, influence over other nations, control of trade routes etc etc.

Dark Souls 2 was a complete nightmare

Killing Alduin(final boss) and curing Vampirism+Werewolfism in Skyrim.

The Game of Life.
It's too hard at times. Have no respawn. So its like a strategy game with no do-overs. Any wrong decisions you make could haunt you for the complete duration of game. But if you something right, it is also too rewarding.

Any shrine can cure vampirism at initial stage. And with my legendary daedric sword coupled with spellbreaker legendary and legendary daedric armor alduin was a piece of cake. If you want a real challenge try the Ebony warrior at level 80.

Every time I used to complete 80% only of entire skyrim missions leaving Ebony Warrior likewise missions aside. Now again I am playing hoping to achieve at least 98%.

For Morrowind I think we need to have the original Morrowind.
If not can you give me any link as to where I can get Morrowind Mod in Skyrim.

1. Prince of Persia 1 & 2 (Classics, the 2D type which ran on DOS)

*t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTU7YlLlLbuA1JEHvt66rtX7jdOR-eTkfkrBwOGcSvXMRq_BKhi

They had no savegame function, and they used to get me stuck somewhere or the other.... And it took hours to clear these games.

2. There is this mobile game "Get me Out" or something in which a red block has to be shown the way out... I think its too tough, even its normal levels.
Everytime, it asks me, "Do you want to purchase full version to play 376 levels?" and I say to myself, "mujh se ye levels to ho nahi rahe, aage ke levels kya khaak kar paunga?"

*t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQKAS_TcqTTTfYCiDbhL_c6aWCJS_dTP4HZGQUAEV587ud76WJw

For me the hardest game was surely the warcraft3 frozen throne in hard mode. The difficulty in going from normal to hard was like 10 times in some missions.

Obsessive compulsive disorder.

Final stage of Wolfenstein the New Order took me more than an hour, at Uber obviously. Mainline games really are a walk in the park, COD Ghosts, BF4 blah blah...

Oh the fight with Nightblade (or whatever the name was) also took me an hour and lots of retires, talking about Batman obviously.
