Far Cry was good AI was good but was not hard enough, so decided to play it on hardest difficulty the second time .I completed it(without any cheats) and what i learnt is "I WILL NEVER EVER PLAY ANY GAME AGAIN ON THE HARDEST DIFFICULTY" . it is very frustrating when u get knocked out with only one touch of a trigent and it becomes almost impossible when there are too many of them at one time, and the enemies wont die before u unload whole clips of bullets into them . In the whole game i had to aim always on head of the enemy . huh. there is no fun only frustration in the later stages of farcry on hardest difficulty .
So , not recommenended.

well tarey how did u beat all those creatures on the level before volcano without cheats in farcry. i played farcry in medium settings and could not progress after tenth level from where those creatures with rocket launchers on their hand actually come and had to use cheats. well the level b4 volcano was hell even after cheats. those guys throw rocket launchers as toys and need more than 3 magines of any gun to kill them
for me the hardest is far cry

Doom 2 was easy for me and farcry.

The tougest game was Act of war : High treason. The game is very diffcult when played in easy mode.

The ai know what type of buliding we have and were our weakness lies.

Farcry is without doubt one of the toughest games i ever played.....i still shudder at the thought of driving that jeep with mutants on either side of road....i think the save system has made the game tougher....
about mutants with rockets,i found an easier way of killing them...by targeting at the weakest point of their body....a greenish area......but they were still spine chilling....

Yup, agree that Far Cry is a tough game. I will add XIII for PC too, as it is soooo hard to beat even in easy mode! You get instantly killed and there is no option of save anywhere!

For Xbox, I think Black is a tough game, because you will die easily like XIII.

P.S. I was not able to finish Black for that reason.

I never use cheats to beat any game , kills the satisfaction . And medium settings were not hard enough for me that's why i did a mistake choosing the hardest difficulty the second time i played it.

Hey saket , volcano is nothing as compared to the last part where u have to kill Doyle. There u have all sorts of mutants , and the only way to beat them(on the hardest mode) is to hide betwen the two blast doors(the doors when u enter the last open facility,one behind u gets locked and the other one opens if u go near it) and and snipe the trigents who have guns and can shoot u from distance , wait for the rocket launcher eqqiped ones to come at the door and then kill them one by one . This part was most frustrating and the hardest . volcano was nothing as compared to this one , in the volcano intro u have a jeep , use it to knock out the three rocket launcher trigents that u encounter on the first land mass seperated by lava , take cover in the rocks and take out the others beyond the 'tree bridge' connecting the two piece of lands seperated by lava and proceed accordingly. Too frustrating and not easy.

Edit : Oh u were talking abt the level before volcano , i misread it as volcano level . The level b4 volcano where u have only one gun with few bullets and u have to jump down a waterfall . Only one thing could be done here on the hardest mode , RUN . Jump from the waterfall and run/swim through the river , dont stop and u will enter the open area with water , run to the helicopter mounted with gatling gun then its easy from there till the volcano stage.

Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox on Master Ninja Difficulty. All other games I have played are a cake-walk compared to it. Don't believe me, then just play that game on normal difficulty and you'll understand.

I agree with abhijeet. NGB is one of the harder games, along with DMC3. Im still on my playthrough on Hard, havent even reached Master Ninja.

Fun game tho. Almost everyone who plays it will experience a single moment when the knowledge of effectively using the controls will just 'click'. Then its just mad fun killing everything thrown at u.

Exceptions include recruiting services and matrimonial services and the like which clearly indicate the need for publishing (as public and/or private use) of real life photo unless otherwise stated.

All Sections and sub clauses are in accordance with the updated version of the Bloggin Rule Book 2005 last updated on July 19th 2006.

Yeah I do agree puzzle based games can be hyper annoying... Like one game Silent Hill 2 ... Now I was supposed to find 3 coins to unlock a box and then I found out through a walkthrough that the first coin was somewhat right at the beginning of the game ! I was like wtff !! I didn't want to backtrack my way all over again :p so left the game there....

Far Cry was tough only because the save system was different. I think if the game had the usual save system then it would have been a cakewalk. You save, snipe a guy, run behind a tree, save, come out, get shot, load, snipe a guy, save,...

I think COD 2 would have been the toughest game if they had used the usual health system. Thank God they did not.

Doom 3 was also tough because you had to keep swapping between the torch and the gun and most of the times you can't see a thing. And the monsters had the unfair ability of appearing out of nowhere.

The Factory Driver Missions in Need For Speed : Porsche Unleashed.

MAN!! It takes such a long time to complete it. [WITHOUT ANY CHEATS].

The missions are so difficult that, in the "wiki" itself it has been mentioned.

"Many of the missions were considered to be really difficult; anyone who manages to finish Factory Driver can be called a great "computer" driver."

they are not that much tough like NFS:pU, b'coz in PU you were dealing with very accurate handling of cars(can be compared with real life cars).
But in NFS:MW you have to deal with only "beatin' the cops" in their own game, & some races with a very PATHETIC car handling.
In MW you dont have to apply brakes often, just turn a little bit & hit NoS, thats all, you do a 90 degree corner at 250+ kmph.

In PU, on the Monte Carlo circuit, when you take the big U(hairpin turn), you had to BRAKE really hard to make that turn, or the car(particularly 944T) would roll over. that(handling) was really interesting, coz you can do a Lateral braking to overtake others & improve our position(1st,2nd...).

Since you have/are playing MW, have you noticed the AI of other racers & cops. If you make a mistake (at later stage of game) in a race, like hitting traffic cars ..., its DAMN hard to catch-up with the others, BUT if the other racer makes a mistake like that & you leave him way behind (provided u dont make mistake), that racer's AI kick in like a lightning bolt & by the next corner he overtakes u.
Its so stupid & frustrating, i mean how the hec* can the others do that, & we CANNOT, even when we are FlatOut in our cars.

& of course, you would have experienced THIS,-- the other racers can push you around, or turn you around with a gentle push from a side, BUT you CANT, its like if they were driving TANKs.


When you played the NFS:pU, do you remember the Factory Driver Mission in which you have do TWO 360's & a hell of course on a GT1 Race Car. Sh*t, it took me more than 20 tries to finish that mission.

Believe it or not, but EA has been unsucessful in bringing a TRUE NFS:pU's successor.
