I was playing Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and just remembered how unforgiving this game is.

Didn't help I was playing multiplayer with some friends... which never makes things easier.

Always lurking.

Started playing God Hand yesterday. I'm currently at stage 2 (Normal), and I haven't cleared a single area so far without dying at least once. It's not the hardest game I've ever played, but it's definitely another one of those difficult-yet-fair games a la Super Meat Boy.

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

I've been very tempted to fire up God Hand again, since I never got far. I do remember it kicking my ass though.

I remember the controls being really horrible.

Yes, I get it, my profile doesn't show up to anyone but me. I don't understand it either, but surely there are better conversation topics than my lack of a viewable profile.

I color my greentexting green because I [REDACTED] feel like it.

Bucky O'Hare on NES in hard mode when every single bullet kills you. I managed to get to the final boss on the real hardware though
And yeah Syobon Action 2
I even made some screenshots some time ago explaining my frustration

ok cool story goes here

After countless hundreds of tries I got to this place

ok. I thought I knew everything about it and had a perfect plan
But no

Well, I managed to pass this but just gave up here

(not to mention I had -902 tries by that time)

Yes a lot actually. But the fact that the characters get tired so fast made it hard for me to level up. And being the fact that I'm too lazy to grind I never got many levels up. So it was tough .~. And the answer was crazy DX

Hmmmm.....
For me, all games were hard in a way (I suck at games).
But, if I have to choose one...

Ignoring all the NES games I can think of, probably Super Meat Boy. It turned out to be one of my favorite Steam games though so I eventually got the Golden God achi. Honorable mention to IWBTG. It's harder than SMB, but in a very unfair manner, so it's more trial-and-error rather than being good at the game. At least the beginning, never bothered to go beyond it.

IWBTG's difficulty is largely fake though; ie once you learn all the Gotchas you can zip through it. I found Mega Man 9 to be the same way, which was why I was glad Mega Man 10's difficulty was a bit more legitimate.

Super Meat Boy.

I never had so much intense inertia problems,
until I play this game, that is.
Hard.

Mushihime-sama Futari on ULTRA difficulty. It just makes Touhou's lunatic seem to be a piece of cake.
And IWBTG along with its Touhou crossover ("I Wanna Be The Shrine Maiden") are both quite difficult too...
I'd also mention Kagetsu Tohya - clearing it without using a walkthrough is not really a far cry from a slow-paced walk around the Ninth Circle of Hell.

Took me a long time to finish the extra on that one. One of the hardest patterns is the criss-cross hearts one, and then again next in reverse.

I should play through Iji again, what a boss game that was.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose.
The only thing that matters is whether I win or lose in this game called life.
