There's not much comparison between FarCry and FarCry 2. FarCry 2 can be hard, but usually it's because you fucked up. FarCry was disgustingly hard. Anybody remember the one level that starts of with two mini-cyberdemons right in front of you in a narrow corridor? Or the Riotshield Gauntlet? Crysis is a piece of cake compared to either of those games.
The original AvP was hardcore if I've ever seen it. One-hit kills and no in-level saves were the norm.
And Mass Effect 1's hardcore was laughable. I beat it with an Adept. Colossus? Pistol. Wurm? Pistol. Saren? Pistol. The only bad part was Husk Cargo Hold. That was a freaking nightmare.
KOTOR 1 was actually a challenge. The second only put up a fight at the very end.
