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.
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.

Metroid Prime
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.

Megaman x, Legend of Zelda I and II (There's a reason why they are hard for me...)

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.

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)

if it's without cheat, maybe (in my opinition) the game that the hardest is Earthbound in SNES

fight the boss ?, must use the tactics, wrong step ?, lose.
Maybe not hard as we have the tactics lol

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 :/)

Touhou 13 on normal, in my opinion, is the hardest game.
People might disagree, but I just can't seem to beat it even with continues.

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

People says Touhou pretty tough, but its not really.
Then again I don't have the shooting touhou games (even though I tried it), just the fighting ones ( 10.5 SWR and 12.3 UNL playing on Lunatic difficulty :) )

Dark Souls is probably one of the more difficult games I played, but I got used to it after a while and It's only somewhat harder then I thought it was. Skyrim hard as balls on highest difficulty setting,

but Street Fighter IV gotta take the cake. I feel pretty intermediate at that game, but it gets so fucking hard. :( :( :(

League is so casual pvp... It has a steep learning curve and it takes ages before you know all the tricks n shit but that's really all there's to it.
Also the community is probably the worst of any game I've ever seen.

People claiming that League is actually difficult :facepalm:
Not even the original DotA (which is that much harder than LoL) is difficult, it has a steep learning curve but it's actually really simple, becoming a pro player on the other hand, IS difficult, but it's difficult for any game, so it doesn't count.

P.S.: I'm not trying to fight LoL players saying that dota is harder than LoL btw.

I have to agree with u that the playerbase is verry difficult , but not all of them like 90 % are bad , toxic and al that shit the other 10% on the other hand are great players who i realy enjoy playing with .

Every multiplayer TEAM based game has a community that is bad, there will always be baddies that don't know how to play (no offense) and trolls, no matter how good the anti-cheaters/leavers/afkers whatever system is, there will ALWAYS be "toxic" people in mutiplayer TEAM based games.

It's as casual as you want it to be. Depends on your own, personal approach to the game, imo. I have friends who blame teammates, wanna do anything to win, go all hardcore, etc. But I don't. I find the game as the most laid back one PC game I've had in several years.

I honestly don't think the learning curve is that large - easy to pick up, difficult to master imo.
At the same time, I had a friend start me off on learning the game, so it might be different for people who, literally, get the game and start then and there.

I'd argue the community in World of Warcraft is worse. Been playing since late-Vanilla. =P

Pretty much. There will always be those kind of people in any PC game. That's just how it is.
