What is the hardest game you have ever played?

[RaNDM G]

Genre Wars.

How can you beat a game that nobody plays?

 

[Lord Kofun]

I cannot decide between:

Advanced Wars: Black Hole Rising [I refuse to just build a wall of tanks. I like being more methodical than that.]
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 [The final levels of the Soviet campaign on Hard were just nightmares.]
Lost Odyssey [Some of the boss fights required pure luck to beat]
or Rock Band 2 [Damn you, Dream Theater!]

 

[Citrus]

Ninja Gaiden II on the hardest difficulty.

Sorry if these do not count as "real" games, they are just so undeniably hard!

Wrong.

Anyone that has played Battletoads must put it as the hardest game they've played.

Also wrong.
I Want To Be The Guy wins this dubious title for life.
It makes me want to kill whomever made the bloody thing.

Oh my god, I saw a youtue video and assumed i'd trial and error my way to the finish.

I WAS WRONG, SO HORRIBLY WRONG

Ghost n Goblins. If you every beat this game, you are a gaming GOD! Mega man 9 deserves and honorable mention.

 

[TheTygerfire]

Mega Man 1 on Wii

 

[RapidCrash]

Ikaruga, fo sho.

Ikaruga is defiantly tricky, but still relatively easy.

Flail was also a pretty good platformer, still could never beat the last 2 worlds.

Finally, there's Halo Wars. Campaign was pretty easy, and hell, just about every dude on xbox live that I've faced were completely RTS-illiterate. However attempting a 1-on-1 on a large map against a Legendary AI is brutal. It doesn't really help when you attempt to attack one of their bases, only to have them storm out with Uber units or a Hero unit to lay shame to your army.

Mega-Man 9. I didn't grow up in that time, so I feel jipped when I can't beat a single one of the 8 robots.

I did and i still couldnt even beat the demo level

 

[Syphonz]

Hearts of Iron II on Hardest Difficulty.

 

[ExaltedK9]

Yay...another one of your threads, I guess mine would be the very first Ninja Gaiden on the NES. If I remember correctly.

 

[insanelich]

Battletoads.

Decidedly not impossible though.

It's only impossible in two-player, not on singleplayer.

 

[r4ndom]

Tenchu.

Dear god that game was an elitism magnet.

So true. I was obsessed with that game.

Some warm memories came flooding back then, thankyou!

 

[jesinup]

i wana be the guy
hardest game ever made me break my monitor

 

[phatty500]

silver surfer

 

[Nerull]

Wizardry... all of them.

Hard even with grid paper to map out your location.

 

[APPCRASH]

Superman 64

 

[Crash486]

Battletoads.

Decidedly not impossible though.

It's only impossible in two-player, not on singleplayer.

That's because you can (and frequently do) kill each other. It was so much fun to cut your friend's rope in the repelling sections.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

I'm beginning to wonder if half of you people are saying Battletoads only because of the AVGN video....

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Apparently none of you have played I Wanna Be The Guy [http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/].
That along with Battletoads that is one of the hardest games ever.

Zork.
Damn that grue! The thief, too, for always stealing my lightsource, leaving me to die by the grue. I think the two are in cahoots.
