It's not too bad once you just take your time and don't rush ahead. It was piss easy compared to some of the COD4 levels.Suki the Cat said:
Jak 2 is about as far as I go for a "hard" game. Any hard than that is going to start to feel like a waste of my time
What. The. Fuck. Ok, I like how much of it is a mind-fuck with apples falling upwards, but there would be little reward in dying that often, only to replay the parts you have mastered. It's just wasting your time after a while.Madara XIII said:
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Terrorist Hunt matches on Realistic difficuly with enemy density set to High - really good fun but also really, really ouch. I've cleared every level except Murdertown, but this man: [user]themrwinkleman[/user] has cleared every level (including Murdertown) using the above criteria and Lone Wolf.
Adventure Island on the NES.
Anyone who says anything else has never played Adventure Island. I tried to beat the game with my cousin and brother. We even used the unlimited lives cheat and, after about 20 hours of playing, 4 hours of which were on the second to last level, we gave up. And this isn't something we did when we were uncoordinated children. We broke out the NES for nostalgia over Christmas weekend when we were all in our prime (ages 18-25). We realized that, if you die once preceding the last level we got to, you lose your ability to throw fire, and there's no way to beat the level without it and no way to get that ability back.
Also, I don't think that any game that has saves or checkpoints can be considered hardest game of all time. You know what's hard? Going through hours of playing on an old-school platformer, only to lose your last life to a simple mistake. Do you get to start over from the beginning of the level or from the last checkpoint? Nope. Try the beginning of the game.
Not only does this mean that to get through the game you have to have a constant stream of near-flawless play, but increases any frustration factor because, aside from a possible high score, you start from the very same place and with no other advantages than you did hours ago.

I honestly wanted to slit the necks of the developers on that level. I was playing it on easy mode and it took me two days and a whole lot of stress to finally make it.Suki the Cat said:
Ahhh this game, I loved it when I was a kid! Had it on my commodore 64 when I was about, ooh, 7? Couldnt get past level 4, I think it was the uranium plant or something? With dgs with round heads. I mean THREE LIVES and seventeen levels?The Night Shade said:
My flatmate says he downloaded an emulator for his PC and completed it. Now I believe him to have magic powers
EDIT: Lookie what I found http://www.darnkitty.com/manic/
I destroyed 2 PS2 controllers before I 100% completed Shinobi.
I also left my PS2 on for a week on the final boss on the hardest difficulty. Was when I first learned PS2s can overheat. I'm glad it never shutdown, just slowed the clocks down, so the games ran quite slow.
Then I took my Shinobi save to Nightshade.. I never did beat the final boss on the hardest difficulty, though I consider it easier than Shinobi. I doubt I could ever go back and finish it, it's been years and my skills are long gone, though my anger tolerance is a bit higher.. I try not to destroy things anymore, yay.
