How many have you beat /vr/?
>>
I didn't vote though.
>>
I don't recall Donkey Kong gameboy being that hard...
Shinobi PS2 neither even on hardest difficulty

Pretty shitty list

Not even a Wizardry 4 or Sengoku blade
>>
>>12569790
>posturing about 1ccs
>Donkey Kong 94 is hard
>>
>>12569790
solid list
>>
>autofire is fine
pffffft
>>
Who the hell thinks that games like
>Cadash
>Call of Duty
>Megaman 1
are hard?

Megaman 1 seems especially strange since the first game is one of the easiest Megaman games.

>Jak II
huh, really? I'm not too far into it, but still.
Guessing it has some crazy later levels/challenges?
>DK 94'
ok this one I don't get, but it has been a while, so maybe I'm forgetting something.
>COD1
What?

Also I'm surprised BLOOD or NAM/Napalm aren't here
>>
>>12569790
unironically none of those. i play adventure games and rpgs
>>
>>12569861
For 1CC and Veteran, poser
>>
>>12569861
Mega Man 1 is the hardest purely by virtue of not having e-tanks
>>
>>12569790
i have only completed the following games with that criteria.
>Super Ghouls & Ghost
>Ninja Gaiden
>Ninja Gaiden Black
>Castlevania
>Castlevania 3
>Megaman 1
>Devil May Cry
>Zelda 2

I have not played most of them
>>
>>12569997
is spamming pause with electman's weapon allowed?
>>
>>12570000
I call fucking bullshit on 1cc of those games and DMD on DMC1
>>
>>12570000
>beat MNM on NGB
cap
>>
>>12569790
>all console games
>not one PC game
Dropped.
>>
>>12569790
Only COD on veteran (pc and ps3)
>>
>>12570013
PC games have quick save spam (aka literal save states) therfore zero real challenge
>>
>Donkey Kong land
>hard
In what way?
>>12570020
Then why is Call of Duty 1 (a PC game) on there?
Whoever made this list and/or "voted" (let's be real here, the OP made this to farm (you)s) needs a fist in their bussy~ >;3
>>
>>12569790
>Battletoads
The GB version. The fucking brain filtered me for years.
>Donkey Kong Land
100% it as a kid. Not *that* hard outside of the fucking cloud levels with those platform you need to control the direction of by jumping on them repeatedly.
>Solomon's key
Beat the GB version. Was decently hard, not sure if the NES version is worse.
>>
>>12569790
Some games I've beaten or played I think are not that hard.
Contra
Ninja Gaiden 1 except the last area
Gunstar Heroes
DK Land
>Pretty hard
Punchout
Lion King
>Really Hard
Battle Toads

Many of the others such as MegaMan just seem normal but its a decent list of hard games that are also good.
>>
I'm a dogshit gamer and i haven't played most of those games but i did play God of War and there is no way those games are hard enough to be in a sort of list like this.
I've played a bit of DMC and there is no comparison, that game is much harder than any GOW
Rayman was very difficult when i was a kid too, havent't touched it since
>>
>>12570145
>but i did play God of War
You didn't beat it on VH. Read you fucking moron

>I've played a bit of DMC and there is no comparison, that game is much harder than any GOW
It's not, this is why you don't give an opinion when you are a shitter who has no meaningful experience in the games
>>
>>12570002
>>12569861
MegaMan 1 if you don't know the pause trick, the yellow devil is a HUGE filter. I actually was struggling hard and found out you could do the trick on the PS2 version. It also doesn't have password save or e-tanks, which makes it the hardest of the NES Mega Man games because of that.

Also COD games on Veteran are miserable, but the hardest has to be CODWAW right?
>>
>>12570148
Damn this is really important for you. I'm sorry your life is in such a state
>>
>>12570005
is this board just a bunch of casuals? dmc1 dmd isn't hard at all, nearly S ranked every mission+difficulty except I think like nightmare 3 filtered me or some shit
>>
>>12570174
DMC1 is more about just willingly subjecting yourself to such a boring and repetitive game.

Post clears shitter
>>
>>12570164
OP here, I'm gonna get you in your sleep.

>>12569790
I've beaten fifteen titles on the list.

> Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
> Ninja Gaiden trilogy
> Contra
> Super C
> Contra III
> Splatterhouse
> Castlevania
> Castlevania III
> Mega Man
> Donkey Kong 94
> TMNT
> Shadow Dancer
> Ninja Spirit

Super C, Mega Man, DK94, & Shadow Dancer really don't belong on this list.

Holy Diver is the hardest game on this list I haven't beaten but still tried. Spent more than a couple weeks of semi-casual play without beating the 4th boss.
>>
>>12569790
Zelda 2 and Contra shouldn't be on the list.

I don't know, Zelda 2 is pretty difficult. Great game though once you master the combat.

I never did the pause trick, I realised that his pattern for where his body parts move is always the same so you can just go to the side and dodge as necessary, the only hard part to dodge is when 2 lower parts of his body go to the side at the same time but you can just do 2 quick hops in succession and you've basically avoided getting hit.
>>
>>12569790
>Maximo
That game is certainly harder than your average PS2 game but it is not really that difficult. I wouldn't put it in any "hardest old games" list.
>>
>>12570307
Now that's more like it.
>>
>>12569861
>Call of Duty
They should have put the expansion on there instead, United Offensive gets pretty crazy even on normal difficulty.
>>
>>12569902
jak II is infamous more than actually being that hard. you can recognize that certain missions are frustrating/bullshit but complete it on like the 3rd or 4th attempt.
>>
>>12570029
ps360 version doesn't have quick saves
>>
>>12569790
GoW II is a motherfucker on Titan and I love it
>>
>>12570616
To be fair, you have like 20x the amount of time the average anon would put into the game, Idk why you're acting like the game is so braindead easy

I can't even think of a single retro game that takes more than 100 hours to beat even the hardest mode
>>
>>12570020
Arcade games have credit spam (aka literal infinite lives) therefore zero real challenge
>b-but i said 1cc-
Then say that PC games can't use quick saves then
>>
>>12570857
Difference ia arcade games are designed around 1cc (aside from trash tier western kuso), very few PC games are meant to be played without quick save spam (except for example CoD1 which translated to checkpoint system very well)
>>
>>12569790
Mega Man Zero should not be anywhere near the list of hardest games, lmao....I wouldn't even put DKC or DMC1 up there either. The only reason millennials think MMZ is hard is because they can't spam Metal Blade.
>>
>>12570872
Doom is a good example of a PC game that wasn't originally designed around quick saving. I appreciated that when I watched John Romero's Sigil streams, he made a point of refusing to ever save. Unfortunately, its mere presence in the game has had horrific consequences insofar as every other community wad since 2003 or so is some overlong, retarded Kaizo shit, because PC players aren't even conscious of the fact that they've normalized save scumming.
>>
>>12570838
speedrunning, plus all achievements in three games
Some people do more than just beat a game once
>>
>>12571342
>speedrunning
>achievements
>>
>>12571347
and this is why you guys are arguing over games like Jak II - that people beat as children and teenagers - are among 'the hardest games of all time'
>>
>>12569790
>punch out
>castlevania
>mega man
>god of war
>god of war 2
>jak 2
>rayman
these are the ones i've beated. i'd say rayman was the hardest but not really since you get infinite saves, and punch out is the easiest
>>
>>12569790
Did you google watchmojos hardware games of all time list?
Most of these aren't that hard
Doesn't even have any wizardry games on it
>>
>>12570038
Gunstar Heroes is way easier than the other games on that chart. It doesn't belong there at all.

If this is going to become a new forever thread?
