Demon souls.Obviously.The drums on expert guitar hero world tour are pretty hard(damn you slight delay).Playing fallout 1/2 in a hardcore playthrough (no saves) is fairly hard.You got to be quick and well balanced.And careful what you, if you do one thing wrong, that's it game over.

Also Hardcore mode on dead space 2, the difficutly is managable but you only get 3 saves so you basicly have to go through the entire game without dieing or else you have to go back several chaptersafter i died on chapter 9 and hadnt saved since chapter 5, I almost burned down an orphanage in blind fury!
Catherine. And I found the Persona games on hardest difficulties to be rather difficult.
Other thent hat... tetris?

And thats just at the Cordon... In Call of Pripyat on hardest the enemy can see for miles and are super accurate... Great game though.dogstile said:
Is there an easy setting on the Stalker games?
Age of Empires 2 is bloody grim on hardest, most RTS's are unholy nightmares against Pc deathmatch.
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System on the hardest difficulty left me crying in the middle of the ZombieBot wasteland.

Now imagine a dozen of those sprinting and shambling towards you, screeching for your oil and ripping out your still-hot wiring. Did I mention that you have to kill each of them twice, because they spring back to life after their first death?
Incidentally, I had more luck bashing down a brick wall with my head later on in the day, after my GameCube went sailing out of a two story window.

I have other examples, but one specific level on the hardest difficulty that comes to mind almost immediately is "Heart of the Reich" in Call of Duty: World at War. You could probably get through the rest of the levels on Veteran without THAT much exertion, but the part of "Heart of the Reich" where you storm the courtyard outside of the Reichstag, destroy four FlaK 88s, then make your way to the building is unnecessarily punishing. Let's just forget the fact that the bullets and grenades become realistically hyper-lethal and that enemies become possibly infinite if you don't advance to your objective, but the grenades also have an increased "kill hitbox" to the point where even being a fair distance from a grenade will gut you like a fish. The enemies must've also reached this conclusion, because most of the time they abandon their guns to devote their ENTIRE attention to spamming you with an off-camera box of grenades (you will usually be surrounded upward of 3-4 grenades on short fuses at any point you wish to take cover or move from cover). I actually spent most of the level just throwing back all the grenades around me (running away when they exceeded 2) until my allies finally decided to top collectively take their thumbs out of their asses and advance half an hour in (not to mention multiple replays when I was trapped behind cover by the notorious 6-grenade-combo). It all actually makes me wonder what I looked like double backing between cover to cover from grenades from the Nazi side of the fence...
Kingdom Hearts 1 on it's hardest difficulty is a nightmare. I felt awful yelling at Disney characters, but seriously.
And don't get me started on veteran in COD. All it does is spam grenades that you can't hope to get away from. I once had ten thrown at me at once, I made a point of counting. That's just stupid - that's not challenging, that's impossible.

X-Com: Terror From the Deep on Superhuman difficulty (and patched with Xcomutil, so the game didn't revert back to Beginner). Oh, did that game like stacking the odds against you.
For something slightly newer, Witcher 2's Insane difficulty does not pull punches at all.

Doom 3 on nightmare absolutely offers a real beat down. First, you have to beat the game in another skill level just to unlock it. The enemies don't respawn like in the original Doom, but they do 320% more damage than normal and your health slowly ticks down to 25% no matter what's happening in the game. Also the health kits have been removed, although the health panels are still there (but those are way more rare.) I was slugging my way through that, and let's just say that quicksave is used often.
Ever heard of the International Editions (Which, ironically, never make it out of Japan)? FFX's IE had a set of bosses after the Final Boss called the Dark Aeons. You needed max 255 Accuracy PLUS a decent amount of Luck JUST TO BE ABLE TO HIT THEM.RagnarokHybrid said:
As for a personal vote, I recall Castlevania: Curse of Darkness had less of a difficult Hard Mode and more just a retarded one. Basically, you start the game at level 1 like always, while everything else starts off at around level 15. Oh, and their Normal-Mode EXP rates stayed the same, which meant half of the enemies in the first dungeon gave no EXP, and the highest amount you could get was around 1-3. Just didn't seem like any fun since A. I could just farm for a few hours to even things out, but B. the game practically requires beating two bosses - both of which had some pretty nasty AoE abilities that would one-shot me in HM - before you could find much of anything worth grinding.
Good bloody luck when/if you get to One Shot One Kill and Heat. Those levels kicked my ass from here to a full 360 degrees around the circumference of the Earth.Don said:
Anyway, Mass Effect 2 on Insanity was no cake-walk, mostly because staying out of cover for three femtoseconds got your shields shot off if there were more than two enemies. Though playing as a Sentinel would make it more managable.
Kingdom hearts 1 on 'proud' difficulty is not hard, in my opinion anyway. When I played it, it was as easy as beginer difficulty. All I had to do was knock and attack enemies in the air or attack them when they jump.Volan said:
Megaman 10 on hard mode. Call me unoriginal but it's still freakin' hard. Oh, and anyone who says it's easy has no life (and probably no fingers left either.)
Left 4 Dead 2 gets pretty difficult on Expert, even moreso if it's on realism mode.
Good teamwork is essential, and you have to be very careful about not shooting your teammates by accident since the friendly fire damage is (I think) quadruple that of Advanced.

Metal Gear Solid 2 European Extreme difficulty. It has the option of having a game over if you're discovered just so you don't have to watch yourself get raped by the guards instead. The guards can see you from 20 miles away, you sneeze all the time, you have no ammo to fight with, and the boss fights are pure torture.
