Hardest Game Ever!

[Supertegwyn]

The hardest game I have ever encountered was Star Wars Jedi Knight Outcast II. Because the levels are sooo long and you don't know where anything is.

I don't mean to insult you, but honestly? I know eight year olds who can smash me at that game.

Jedi Knight Outcast II is EASY. So damn EASY.

OT: Dark Souls maybe?

I haven't played it, but it has to be this hands down

It'd be hard enough just putting up with that Boss's laugh.

well atleasst its a pretty death.....holy crap what are you sopossed to do against that?

You are supposed to dodge the patterns only the center of the players ship is venerable. Think of it like a racing game where you have to navigate the bends a certain way, if you do it wrong you come off the track. It takes practice and needs a high degree of concentration and just like a driving game there are a number of techniques which need to be known to bullet dodge with any degree of skill.

But that video shown is the hardest mode which is only for the very best players. I have this game and have just recently 1 credit cleared this game mode called Original. As you can see its much easier (this is the whole of stage 5 the boss fight is at the end)

If you watch the whole vid you will see the player using the technique called "streaming" where the player moves left and right in tune with each wave of bullets so that he doesnt get trapped, notice he gets trapped at one point where the bullets start pushing him up the screen so has to drop a bomb to save himself


The player is just playing for suvival here and ignoring playing for score where you have to think up different strategies and make much risker bullet dodges.

Beats the hell out of me, I haven't played it. I've only seen that video. Although according to one of the YouTube comments, apparently that game has a mode where you face 2 of that boss at the same time. Can't confirm that though. I have seen a video of someone beating that boss without taking a single hit though.

The game with 2 bosses is the other CAVE shmup I mentioned earlier called DOJ Death Label. Mushihisama Futari has an extra hidden boss if you manage to beat Ultra Mode without continuing.

Devil May Cry 2 on Dante must die was a frustrating experience. As was MGS2 on European Extreme difficulty

Driver 2, why? It was at points such a buggy and laggy mess that I broke 2 copy's over it (first kept crashing in Havana, second copy didnt work at all) on my third copy I actually managed to finish it....
.... 10 years after release....

This link will show the most ridiculous mission of them all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVNmuB16vgk

A friend of mine had a Playstation when we were younger, and neither of us could even finish the car park tutorial in the first game.

Me and my brother had the same trouble on that! I swear you only needed like 5 more seconds for it to be physically possible, whoever decided that a tutorial needs a timer needs to be shot out of a cannon!

Hardest game I've every played is the "Are You A Retard?" map on Warcraft 3. Damn those maps were hard, you had to have millimetre accuracy, splitsecond timing, and not follow instructions ... whilst not falling for traps. In the 8 years that I played Warcraft 3 for I never once finished one of these!

From what I remember I struggled greatly with Heart of Darkness. I couldn't get past the beginning.

Driver 2 and Contra 4

Yes, I'm not the only one who thinks that about driver 2, seriously most mission didnt allow 1 mistake.

A good few games on Action 52 are simply impossible to beat, how's that? As far as games that are possible to beat but are still outrageously difficult just check out most Roguelikes. I suggest Dungeons Of Dredmor which is on steam currently for only 1.50-2.50 and offers a lot of great humor, challenge, customization, and references to keep anyone busy.
