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 xDThimeeh wrote:

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 gameAzure_Kyte wrote:

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.GladiOol wrote:

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.awp wrote:

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 minutesRemmyX25 wrote:

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.awp wrote:

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

Half my combos are made by accident
Touhou 6...took me forever to 1cc even on Normal.
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.

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.Ritaka wrote:

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

You shouldn't say that, it's horribly easy with a STABLE framerate...pieguy1372 wrote:

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~
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 
)
)Trust me, being eight or so, it was torture.WhoAteFred wrote:

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.mathexpert9981 wrote:

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

that took me ages to do, but I had a harder time getting TO Ballos with 3HP than I did beating him.

Goldeneye Wii on 007 Classic.
I wanna be the guy is a fucking ass hard game, IF your not used to it like meLoginer wrote:
Yeah, it's not a real video game if it wasn't published by EA or Activision.
I Wanna Be The Guy, no contest. Hardest game without cheap deaths would probably be Super Meat Boy.
but shit, I Wanna be the guy are the most good games out there man, espicailly all of them are made with game maker (i know, I made one.) , I'm gonna go play them again 
I think people do a bad job at judging what "hard" means.
Games that people say are "hard" like Contra, Ghosts 'n Goblins, IWBTG, etc. are initially "hard" because you die a lot in them in the beginning.
But if you don't give up because it's too "hard" and you keep trying you can beat the games in around a week. Sure self-challenges like 1cc some Touhous on Lunatic could also be "hard" and take like 3 weeks - a month to accomplish. The thing is: if you dedicate yourself to a game you can beat it rather quickly after a bit of practice.
But when you look at learning curves I'd say Beatmania IIDX is a game you could call "hard."
It doesn't matter how dedicated you are, you can play every day for an entire year and still not be able to pass some 7s. The learning curve is that insane. A year. An entire year of the same game and it can still be too hard for you. I don't think it really has much of a contest. You guys are smalltime.

Going by that I could say Stepmania is the hardest game ever.
I played for 2 years everyday and still fail 14+ songs.
It comes down to the person and their affinity for the game.
Yes, I suck. Guess I'll clarify that I'm not agreeing with the above.

Rhythm games are generally hard, if only by the fact that they require skills only gained from said game, unlike games that can be beat by blatant save scumming.
Stop saying this. I hardly passed TsupseudogamusH on Hard after 2 years...Rantai wrote:
