All time hardest games

I want to what games you think are the hardest of the hard, but were not hard because of cheap mechanics or bugs.

My all time 5 are:
Far Cry - PC
Ninja Gaiden Black - Xbox
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts - SNES
God of War 2 - Ps2 (On hardest difficulty, was pretty easy on normal)
Devil May Cry 3 - Ps2

On veteran, maybe. But I find MW2 on anything lower than veteran WAY too easy.

I thought we agreed you were going to shutup about that and I was going to shutup about you?
Or was that just my fantasy run wild?

Was joking, sorry.


For the hardest games, just Google "Nintendo Hard".

COD [email protected] on veteran was pretty hard. But wothout a doubt there are harder games.

As a child of the 80's I remember "Nintendo Hard" pretty well. I kind of don't consider those games now, because in a lot of ways they were more cheap and mean than hard.

Roguelikes for sure...

Net Hack
Dwarf Fortress (Try playing a perma ice map with a chasm, hidden fun stuff, and evil savage biome)

Gotcha. Well what sort of difficulty are you referring to then? Those (and roguelikes) are the only games I've ever not been able to beat fairly easily even on hardest difficulties, unless I get bored.

Some of the FPS on Nightmare/Insane difficulties can be near impossible... but that's just 'cheating' too by making the enemies stronger/respawn/whatever.

Well please stop rubbishing MW2.
Either you haven't played it and are being snarky, or you have played it, and are a hypocrite.
I get that you hate it, now please leave it be. I'm not trolling, I'm just fed up with the hate. Surely there are other things you could be doing?

Also OT: Trials 2 SE. Diablo is impossible I tell you.
Mechwarrior 2 - Ghost Bear's Legacy.

Last few battles are insane.

Depending on how you play games they can become more challenging (house rules). Play an RPG without following one of the optimal builds, or beat a FPS using only a pistol. House rules can make things interesting. They're also more fun in coop games, since you're in front of an audience (however small) instead of nobody - and you can fight the temptation to 'break the house rules'.

Wow... you really got through to me. You've enlightened me, and made me realize the error of my ways. I shall henceforth proclaim the virtues of MW2, and have ordered several copies just now - just to give them some extra cash for a job well done. You are right that I played it and am a hypocrite, since if I played it, I would obviously fall on my knees and kiss the box it came in.

Seriously, you stop "rubbishing" people who have a different opinion than you. I didn't insult anybody with what I said. It was not directed at anybody, and most certainly not at you. Grow some skin.

FarCry - Realistic
Undefined Fantastic Object - Lunatic
I Wanna be The Guy - Hard

Dragon Age Origins gets sometimes really damn hard and annoying.
Far Cry on the hardest difficulty was insane.
Halo on legendary
Ninja Turtles on NES
Ninja Gaiden Black
Contra for the NES
Actually, make that most games for the NES
i find halo 1, 2 and 3 on legendary extremely hard

I see your point, but you dont need to take every opportunity to bash it. You make your point and leave it. All this hate on MW2 is getting old. To everyone, Stop it already. You don't like it, we get the point. Leave it there.

OT: MechWarrior2: Mercenaries got awful hard towards the end.

You have a point there. I do think there is a fine line between impossible, ie many notorious NES games, and possible, Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja, or Far Cry on Realistic.

Some of those games were just not meant to be beaten.
