What is genuinely the hardest game you ever beat?
Nine solsMy reflexes just aren't what they used to be
The new Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins on Legend
LobCo
Castlevania 3
Tekken 3 and 4 as a retarded little button mashing kid who never performed a single combo or blocked or anything besides button mash
>>737911117Mischief Makers.
Either ninja gaiden on master ninja, or f-zero gx story mode on very hard
>>737911117Contra on NES
>>737911117Probably the Hell run of Cave Story that I did forever ago.
>>737911117Mario Teaches Typing, I have no hands
IWBTB on hard mode
>>737911117God Hand on hard new game with the kick me sign on
>>737911117There was this fucking bugs life game on the game boy color I had as a kid that to this day stands out in my mind as the most bullshit 2d platformer I've ever played.But I beat it. Somehow. Not sure I could again.
>>737911117Umihara Kawase Field 57 clear on SNES original hardware (no savestates or practise mode).
>>737911117Probably DCSS and VP1 on hard in Jap, A endingand pic related
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
>>737911117CoD United Offensive on Veteran without manual saves, dont know why I wanted to do that, the last section of the last level litrrally took weeks.I also did Halo CE laso and it killed my desire to try any of the other ones
>>737911117Toxootransmosis moment
BloodborneI'm not good at video games kek
>>737911117I wana be the guy.
>>737912214>>737912304>>737913267>>737913287actual holy fuck
>>737911117Lies of P DLC
>>737911117remnant 2's apocalypse difficulty mode, final boss rolled the Tough,Skullcracker and Regenerate modifiers, so it had stupidly high defense, dealt so much damage that any hit would one shot, and was constantly regenerating health so any moment that wasnt constant DPS the regen would just erase your progress.worth it for the black hole gun and the laser minigun from the first game but it was such an ordeal that it killed my ability to enjoy that game for a while, i'll still wholeheartedly recommend the base game to people but maybe not the max difficulty run.
>>737913382CE LASO isn't too bad later on because of the infinite ammo glitch and the way black eye works, but the Truth and Rec hangar is probably the worst single section in the whole MCC.
>>737911117probably silksongso hard it actually made me put it down for a while, savage beastfly with no upgrades was super stupid
>>737911117Probably Rabi-Ribi. Not BEX, I'm not good enough for that, but the one before it. Hell Mode, I think it's called.I'm not that good at video games.
Maybe Jumper Redux. Worlds 6 and 7 are really fucking precise, particularly 6-2 and 6-4. Oh and FlaiL.
>>737911117Killzone 2 elite campaign and WipEout HD elite campaign are the first that come to mind.
>>737911482Does it get really bad later? I just beat the old hoarder guy and haven't struggled very much, but maybe I'm overleveled since I've had the extra xp and extra gold jades equipped as soon as I found them.
>>737911117almost shed tears of joy when I finally fucking did it
>>737918431I did this as a 14 year-old, then sat outside in the back yard, staring at the trees, feeling utterly blank.
>>737918671I STILL remember the day and I am a 35 year-old father now. Crazy.
>>737911117finishing college
>>737911117For a given value of "beat", EoSD. I didn't 1CC it. After many runs I managed to get through it on normal using up all the continues.
Shadow of the Beast for Genesis, the US version, on original hardware. The game was designed for PAL 50 hz, and no correction was done for NTSC US making the game stupid hard by running 16% faster on top of the already frustrating eurojank. Interestingly this was all fixed for the Japanese version, making that one much better experience.
Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours. Got all achievements in it, including hitless QUZ route.
>>737918763Not a game
>>737918170Everything is easy aside from the fat bitch and the end boss
>>737911117Dark Souls series. Am I gaming yet?
>>737913287Honestly nightmare mode isn't "that" hard as it's mostly about playing until you get a strong start and can oneshot everything; of course that requires you to know how to make a good wand. Either that or cheese it by digging past everything to the final boss.
>>737911117Reaching diamond in LoL
>>737911117Stanfield because I had to fight the urge not to fall asleep every second I was playing
>>737911117I'm not entirely sure because several of them feel like they go at hard differently. Super Ghouls n Ghosts, Plok, and IWBTG all stood out to me.
Idk, I never got into games specifically for being hard. People bitch about jak 2 and AC:LR, but neither is that crazy>>737913287>>737913296I kneel. I haven't even managed to get a rune. I don't look things up in games I play though, probably cope but is DCSS easier if you look up enemies and mechanics and whatnot?
Unironically medal of honor european assault on the hardest difficulty, i dare anyone name a more bullshit game No savestates either, on the ps2
Hentai Puzzle 3D
I've done a RL1 no summons Elden Ring run, I died several thousand times.
>>737911117Stellar Blade or maybe ROTR on normal. I got about halfway through ER and stopped for no particular reason. I only like hard games when I’m in a rare mood, otherwise they just piss me off
>>737921178Only in the sense it'll give you a heads up of what you should maybe just run like a bitch from on sight, and pointing out the meta properties of weapons will narrow down which ones are even worth bothering to pick up. And while not related to the difficulty, you might check out Stoat Soup instead of the main branch. Main's devs have only gotten more and more No Fun Allowed over the years, while Stoat aims to stay sort of current but also reverses a lot of the content removal. Don't be afraid to use a super-obvious race/class combo with perfect synergy, either. A clear's a clear, and you only need three runes to beat the game.
