good point, I'd say stepmania was the hardest for me, I never was able to do 2 of the beatmaps I've downloaded with massive bpm changes (when at my best long ago)
If I'd try it right now... I'd fail worse than before, those maps are more terrible than 1 fingered 200bpm (and I use right hand only for stepmania) (how the hell was I able to keep up with it)

Dustforce is pretty damn tough towards the last unlocks.

Harder than meat boy imo. More controls and such.

This will sound stupid but honestly it's Touhou : Embodiment of Scarlet Devil because Bullet Hell ( Danmaku ) games are by far my least played genre D: could barely get past 3 levels on EASY

My Pending Maps/Guest Diffs. mod them? o u o;;

Hmm... I would have to say either Deathsmiles, Triggerheart Exelica, or Otomedius Excellent. Just don't remember enemy positions for some stages. Especially on higher difficulties...

Last boss of 3 was just a pain... You have so many things to worry about during that fight, down to the point where it's just crazy.

I suppose I should add Kingdom Hearts 2 then...
defeating Sephiroth (even in LVL99) is still hard..
dodging Meteors, getting ready for the Heartless Angel and his multiple combo long sword

I thought the Prime series wasn't too bad.
You had a big health bar in those games.
...Of course you needed it, but it was not that bad if you read the enemy patterns...
I do remember dying some though...and I still have to finish 2...

Wait I played the special Trilogy version on the Wii. That had a good control scheme. Never mind.

Definitely Iwannabetheguy. Also, Dark Souls

Hard to say, there are quite some games that feel impossibly hard. Just from the top of my head, I'd say Ghouls and Ghosts. I'll never understand how such a game, that's made of pure frustration, could have ever become so popular.

Now that I really think about it. It has to be Ace Combat 6 on Ace difficulty (Landing repair is disabled, not to mention that the enemies are more stronger and more accurate) or Ace Combat: Assault Horizon on Ace (Health regeneration is disabled, not to mention that the enemies are deadly accurate).

I think it had something to do with when you beat the final boss it makes you play through the whole thing all over again just to see the ending. It's just plain evil if anything.
Don't worry, I've only ever gotten as far as the fifth level I think. Still had fun with it though.

Prime was...meh...in the difficulty department. MP2 was really hard just because the two dimensions thing was ridiculous to figure out. But MP3 on Hypermode difficulty (yay Trilogy

)was definitely the hardest, every freaking enemy goes into Hypermode as soon as they see you. So annoying.

Probaly Osu! That's why I like it so much. Other than that I'd say Starcraft II. Not so much on the singleplayer department, but when you start playing the MP aka the real deal shit just gets too tough for my nerves. I wanna be the guy isn't really a hard game. Its more about memorizing stuff. Yeah, I've beaten it a couple of times.

I'd have to say, Dark Spire. I got to level 8 or so and just couldn't handle the game :<. One time, I started to play it, walked into the tower and took like 3 steps, got into a battle and died. Had to start over..I think it's hard anyway.

Going by that just about every competitive multiplayer game is hard.

On the basis that there is always going to be someone better than you/can beat you.

On topic: Unfortunately I haven't really come across any hard games lately. F-Zero GX still kicks my butt though.

osu!

A lot of people say the Touhou games are extremely hard, but they're just predictable patterns of bullets... on easy difficulty. Anything above that, and you'll get your ass handed to ya.
Though I usually find the Kingdom Hearts games very difficult (then again, I always play them on the hardest difficulty)

Probably by either getting hurt at the very beginning, practically not shooting or by flawless teamwork. People in the front-lines are pretty much bound to die.This doesn't mean that I think expert soldiers do not exist, but a lone wolf in war, surviving? It sounds really hard.

Hardest games I've played list:
GB: Pokémon Yellow (Until you know what you're supposed to do, you're pretty much dead.)
PS1: Digimon World 3 (Actually this game's difficulty is sorta artificial.)
PS2: Burnout Paradise(?) (At least the sequel makes up for the cons in this one.)
PSP: DJMax Black Square (Also considered artificial, since some of the missions get freaking ridiculous, starting with ones that require to have a perfect 100% accuracy.)
PC: Touhou 13 - Ten Desires (Everything is freaking slow in the first three stages. In the other three, it gets way faster. In short, there's a weird difficulty spike in the game, or that's how I feel. I haven't even unlocked the Extra Stage yet :/)

Ragdoll Laser Dodge was a funny and challenging game, but only when you get to the point where you get hit from two directions, then it's just mental.

I managed to beat it after awhile, but it required a lot of duel grinding on specific elders for OP high attack cards.

I've been playing final fantasy tactics 1.3 (insane difficulty). Some of the battles in that mod are almost unfair.

Samurai Warriors-Sometimes is very hard to fulfill some of the mission in the story mode, or there's not enough time to do that.
also playing at chaos difficult is almost impossible.

God Hand - Fight multiple enemies at the same time is pretty difficult

Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories

I forgot how much i suffered during the final moments of the story

lol I kind of agree...

I still remember Rockman II (Japanese title for Megaman). I dunno how many times Wiley made me rage at the final stage cause only bloody bubble works on him and I had to test out all the weapons one by one =.=
