The hardest game you've ever played

[Grimm91]

Xenosaga Episode 1 will remain the hardest game I have never finished.

Wtf! You were not kidding....

 

[Rossmallo]

Mine's either I Wanna Be The Guy (COMPLETED IT) or Imperishable Nights (...Not completed it.)

OMFG you finished I Wanna Be The Guy?!?!?!?!?!?
You are insane... i was gunna say that I Wanna Be The Guy would be the hardest game i've played, and its so funny becuase its so insanely hard, that it just makes me laugh.

It's not immensely hard once you know where everything is...

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Marathon EVIL on Total Carnage. This game is dastardly on Kindergarten difficulty.

Aha, a fellow retronarian!
I'd say any, and I mean ANY, arcade game, as they're specifically designed to not let you win.
The difficulty curve can be modeled in graph, where y is difficulty, and x is seconds played:
y=10(x^5)

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Final Fantasy IV. It takes forever to level up.

 

[LordCraigus]

I just DLed the demo for I Wanna Be The Guy, and probably that.

'Games aren't supposed to do that!' Just about sums it up. Hilarious though.

Gaiden 2 ... definitely Gaiden 2.

That mower-fudging game refuses to budge even an inch and it kicked my ass silly in the last three, back to back, boss encounters. Had to give it up.

"You Have To Burn The Rope." Fuck that game. Six weeks straight I've played, 18 hours a day.
Can't fucking finish it.

What is this game you speak of? o:

Here, but I warn you, it's mind numbingly fustrating. I can't even get past the bit in the corridor where you have to jump.

Shit was easy, jump through one of those flames, burn the rope holding the chandalier, and it should fall on the "thing" and kill it. Was I just trolled?

it was a joke

The game Run has to be up there for hardest games. It starts off really easy, but as you get closer to levels 40-50 gets really hard. A really awesome and innovative game.

devil may cry i think was hard

 

[Cmllo]

Definately the first Ninja Gaiden for Xbox. Luckily those (huge) controllers where made of some unbreakable material.

 

[Whoolpurse]

I can complete that game in like.. 10 secs..

 

[Gladion]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: F-Zero on the Gamecube. It was inhuman.

 

[li-ion]

Ninja Gaiden.

Contra: Shattered Soldier [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra:_Shattered_Soldier], nuff said.

 

[elmaxx]

First Life (c)

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Spiderman 3...

The combat system is so broken that I can't beat up a few gang members without dying.

 

[Abedeus]

Ninja Gaidens on SNES and Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox.


Okay, the boss killed me 23 tim... No, sorry, 24. And counting.

xd

Spiderman 3...

The combat system is so broken that I can't beat up a few gang members without dying.

Eugh...

That game is so poor.

Spiderman 2 on the other hand...

Was good.
