The Hardest Games

[happymasksalesman happymasksalesman]

I know someone played dark DECEPTION and he got crashes a lot. Well if game had better saving it wasn't very bad but they game save when you finish every level so if you crash in end........it's time to open dictionary and find a good complicated insult!

I remember one of the Maximo games on ps2 being pretty tough. Don't remember which one though. Fun games, everyone ought to play em

 

[Pinballbuzzbro]

The King of Fighters 94 (Neo Geo)
Athena (Arcade & NES)
SRW F & F Final (PSX)
Ninja Ryukenden Tomoe/Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (SNES)
Bare Knuckle/Streets of Rage Trilogy (Mega Drive)
Contra series (various)
Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (SNES)

They're hard as sin they make other games look pretty easy by comparison.

Fun tip to make ur time with streets of rage 2 and 3 easier!!! if u play specifically as Axel and specifically space your punches between half a second each instead of rapidly pressing attack, the enemies will never get knocked back and get stuck in a helpless never-ending damage cycle until they die! It unfortunately doesn't work on bosses (aside from Jet's reanimated corpse in the third game weirdly enough), but otherwise it's a surefire way to make your time with these games a lot easier!

any 90s shmup that i've tried is this for me. with touhou i can at least get to the last or second to last boss on normal with continues, but when playing other shmups i find it so hard to concentrate on my ship most of the time through all the effects flying all over the place that i basically can't go like 20 seconds without getting hit.

also there's mega man x6

The first one that comes to mind for me is I Wanna Be The Guy. I remember obsessing over it for a while until I beat it years ago.

This totally reminds me, people were saying Silver Surfer on NES was hard, but all I can say, is that it suffers from the general no autofire thing and having extremely awkward hitbox like other old 80s shmups. Won't be surprised this was the reason turbo button is a thing

The game just feels not great lol. I like shmups a lot, Silver Surfer is just weird to control for me. I don't think it would be as hard if not for that.

To be honest, Sans is still a much more fair battle in comparison to just hard games even

FAIR???? Not so sure in the common sense, but maybe in the balance. YES, I beat it, but i do know several people who are better gamers than me that still haven't. Course compared to the other game I mentioned, which that battle is RNG heavy. Drawing a dead hand can destroy you quickly. When you reach him, you will filled your deck with also some of the worst cards that you do NOT want at all. Self Damage and Bug cards really are not something you shouldn't have to deal with in a situation like that, especially when your cards are your hp.

Maybe for those who didn't experience boss battle that requires certain level of memorising the patterns I guess. I remember Hollow Knight or Souls also being treated as hard (sometimes unfair) but they're all part of memorising, too

Every game because I don't play games casually.

Video games can be hard. Video game can be very, almost punishingly hard. Some test your patience and skills until you smash past any and all limits you thought ever possible. Some just crush you beneath their heel and call it a day. Out of every video game out there which one would you say is the absolute HARDEST?

My vote goes to I Wanna Be The Guy

Ok, that's funny but seriously, stick to the topic.

I'm aware I suck but for me it was Super Meatboy, haven't played I Wanna be the Guy yet.

 

[Clippy]

The ol' reliable

Syobon Action. The OG frustration central. To be fair though both Syobon Action and I Wanna be the Guy are trial and error hard rather than HARD hard. Once you memorize the patterns you can consistently beat them.

there are i think 2 video games where you do, to some extent, fight your ex-wife in the game. or at least involve divorce. takeshi's challenge, and i think there was an arnold schwarzenegger game on the nes.
i will say, in regards to the original point of the thread; a lot of nes and snes games are going to get listed here. i say that the trip mode in balloon fight is pretty difficulty. a lot of games on the nes are pretty hard.
