This. And even if you don't use Metis for whatever reason, you can just grind very easily.

How dare you even spout such heresy.

Metis is the best character in persona 3.

Mitsuru begs to differ. But then again, I didn't ever take out Metis, since she was the most boss thing in The Answer. Several of my IRL friends couldn't stand her (so I got new friends).

Wipeout 64.

Now I know what you're thinking, but really, it's hard. Try steering with an n64 controller. Not only is it painful for your thumb but also extremely frustrating.

(That is if you don't cheat right away and choose Piranha II)

Not even close. FeMC, maybe.

DoDonPachi and its sequels, Mushihime-sama Futari, Ibara. Arcade shooters win by default since they're designed to kill you quickly and take your money.

I wanna be the guy is worthy of mention but, it's mostly built around pattern memorization and not actual difficulty. Plus it has a save feature, so it might take you forever but you'll beat it eventually. Not what I'd consider hard.

Dwarf Fortress. Never had in my entire life attempted to defend a fortress of over 400 dwarves until now.

I'm absolutely terrible at Touhou and Megaman games.

With Touhou, there are so many bullets on the screen that I lose focus and die. With Megaman, I can never make it past bosses. By the time I'm actually able to dodge their attacks, I'm either dead or about to die.

Ninja Gaidens for Xbox/Xbox 360 are all around challenging even on the easiest difficulty. I don't think I passed any of the bosses on first try. I actually beat Ninja Gaiden 2 on mentor difficulty(took some time...) only to unlock master ninja and realize I can't beat the first level.

And a case I recently stumbled upon: Tomba/Tombi on PSX. At first it's easy going, but then there's this cave with no floor and enemies flying all around. Drained all of my lives I had collected :(

I had a demo of Tombi on my PSX when I was a kid, It was my favourite game on the platform at the time xD

Unofficial would be QWOP. Otherwise its Superman 64 on the n64. That is literally one of the worst rated games in history.

I had that on demo too. When I recently got the PSX emulator to play FFIX again, I remembered Tombi and few others from those demos of my childhood so I got them too. The demo gives really wrong image about the brutality of that game. It really hurt my HC-gamer pride to admit that I can't beat that game :(

Ninja Gaiden 2

fuckfuckfuck I'm never going to touch it again, I'm afraid I'll break my xbox.

You should. It's one of the best games on the system. Partly because it offers some challenge unlike most of the games nowadays.

Another crazy PSX game: Bust-A-Groove. As a kid I had this on a demo as well, although I never managed to beat it. Thinking I was a kid then and could handle it as an adult. It can't be that hard as I remember it, I just didn't understand the mechanics.
Can't beat the first stage. xD

Well, I've got a new hardest game. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. First five stages are throwaway easy, but each level is tougher than the last and by Stage 6 or 7 they're squeezing you by the balls. I'm at Stage 10 with no end in sight, and I can't imagine it getting much more difficult without it boiling down to a pile of luck or a requirement that I use a Tool Assistant in order to actually place objects where I want them to go (which afaik is impossible on a PS3)

Just wait until you get to Robotnik. (i'm assuming you havent changed your settings and are playing on Normal.) He's relentless and a genius, just as he's known for. He throws chains and combos you couldn't come up with in seconds time like he can.

Actually I'm pretty sure I set the game to Easy (if that's an option)

Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories... GOD, the bit where Joey goes missing and you have to fight the guardians of the tomb and ARGH FFFFS

Surprisingly, I had very little difficulty after Stage 10, and Robotnik only took me about 10 minutes

I'm gonna be obscure and throw out playing Resident Evil 5 on the classic controls easter egg. Now that is an interesting challenge.

Great game, too bad the gameplay has some flaws and is very easy if you know how to make chains. I recommend Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary, the best one in the series.

and outrageously difficult if you don't. Hence why I'll never enjoy the Puyo series.

Half my combos are made by accident

Touhou 6...took me forever to 1cc even on Normal. :cry:

I'm gonna honestly have to say Shining Force EXA.

OH LOL, NINJA GAIDEN 2. I've destroyed about 2 xbox controllers while playing due to endless rage.
imRitaka
I'm gonna say Spyro: Ripto's Rage.
For anyone who's played this, you know why.
Trouble with the trolly, eh?

Not really. To be honest, the first game as a whole was harder than that.

I played that game years ago but I dont recall it being hard. Maybe trying to 100% the game was tough.

You shouldn't say that, it's horribly easy with a STABLE framerate...
SPOILER
Stage 1 avg fps : 12-15
Stage 2 avg fps : 51-53
Stage 3 avg fps : 28-29
Stage 4 avg fps : 18-23
Stage 5 avg fps : fuckthisshitidontpassitbecauseofthisfuckingframerate

The hardest video game I've ever encountered ? Maybe George Foreman's KO, something like that on NES. I never understood WTF was that. Keep failing, Gezo~
Elite Ninja
hmm hardest game............ cant think of any really. Anti Idle: The Game only because it takes over a year to just complete it. Its not difficult but its VERY time consuming.

Beating ballos from the sacred grounds (hell) from cave story was really hard. (it probably took me at least a month of suffering playing to beat it :P)

Trust me, being eight or so, it was torture.
vampireknight123
Well unofficial Game i would say Touhou Imperishable Night and Official i would say Monster Hunter Freedom Unite ;D

Hmm. Playing Resident Evil 5 alone at the hardest difficulty(haven't tried others. Might apply on easier diffs also) needs a mention. Trying to keep Sheva from dying or mess things up generally is a difficult chore indeed. Babysitting Ashley in RE4 was much easier.

Honestly, after I beat hell for the first time, I was able to go through it without much trouble on my next playthrough with the snake. Trust me, you do it again now, it will be a whole lot easier for you.

Now doing it with 3 HP, that's another story.
