I was gonna say Brutal Legend- a game that, unless you enter anything except the Mint 500 in the turn of the century Drag-u-la- just hates gamers.
That is, until I watched some of these I Wanna be the Guy videos; I concede defeat, and wholeheartedly change my vote.

Marathon 2: Durandal on the hardest difficulty will beat you down until the final battle. At that point just stop playing. It's impossible.
The Adventures of Batman and Robin (Genesis)- Only four levels but boy were they long. I tried playing this game legit, but often failed to get past the second stage without an action replay.
Chulip (PS2) - Proof that not every hard game has to have very intense battles or near invincible bosses to beat. This obscure bizarre Japanese kissing game (yes I said kissing game) had some of the toughest most obscure puzzles you will ever encounter. Think you could not be stumped? For example who would have guessed that to win over an owner at a bath house that you had to take a bath at night in a very specific order (i.e. remove clothes, wash hands, take bath, wipe feet on mat, and about five or six other things I had to do) with no slip ups in order to win him over? Or how about learning that in order to win over an irate person sitting on a bench that you had to walk past him around fifty times? What? No hints or clues? No problem in figuring that one out. Oh and just in case you worried that there were no cheap deaths aplenty in this game, then you need not worry. You will die often when you usually fuck up a puzzle or just run into some one who is angry (90% of the time) and they retaliate by flat out clobbering you to death. Yeah!!
Please Note: Of course I know that there was a FAQ included with Chulip that pretty much solved most of the tougher puzzles , but I assume most people were not complete pussies and cracked it open on day one since it also spoiled much of the game's fun when you were not exactly pulling your hair out in total frustration.

No offense meant, sorry.Void(null) said:
And... um... this post utterly baffles me. I'm positive you're serious, but now I feel a bit godly for doing the entire game in two days. Huh. (Incidentally, I got Super Meat Boy a week ago, I'm still trapped in the damn Salt Factory.)
I wanna be the guy, You only live once, and of course a proper answer thats not a tiny browser game, Demon's Souls. I think i broke the death-per-hour world record on that nightmare.
The hardest games I've seriously played are Demon's Souls and Ninja Gaiden. The hardest game overall?
Super Mario Forever?
Super Mario Forever?
liieess? me? no no no. it was just some simple embellishment, right? it's all true, the game is player vrs player, multiple people can log on (even if that means they both lose >.>), and if 2+ people are playing, they lose. where did i lie?StarStruckStrumpets said:
That's how hard it is.leet_x1337 said:
OT: Real quick, this isn't a second time, I've lost count of the amount of times. Granted, there hasn't been one in a while that I've seen. Anyway, gonna also have to say IWBTG. I know it's mostly artificial difficulty, it hates you with a passion in the meanest way possible, but that's why it's hilarious.
I don't know about the hardest game, but the most unfair game I've ever played was Jurassic Park 2. That one was the side-scrolling one. Basically, random raptors would charge at you from off screen leaving you with a fraction of a second to react and if they hit you, you would lose a large chunk of your life. Entire levels would be filled with this sort of thing.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky.
Even on the Very Easy setting,you will loose many many lives before finishing it!
Imagine how it will be at Expert...

To hell with you!
Ive already said this in another thread like this one but Cave make some of the hardest bullet hell shmups especially as many of their games require you to beat a second loop of the game (thats much harder thean the 1st loop), all without using a continue, and if you do that you get to fight a hidden boss.
My personal pick as the hardest goes to Dodonpachi Death Label on the PS2, this is a special boss rush of the main game and you have to fight all the bosses from the 2 loops, and the final boss Hibachi isnt just alone you must fight two of them at the same time.
You get hit once and its game over. Suffice to say (iirc) that only one person has managed this feat of skill 7 years after the game was released.
Here is the vid of the guy beating hibachi
On the subject of difficulty in games there is 2 types imo, 1 type is how many old games use difficulty where the player has zero chance to beating the challenge on their first play through EG the jetbike stage in battletoads and I wanna be the guy.
The 2nd type is the hard but fair type where the player can beat the game first playthough if they have the skill to do so. Imo more modern games use this type of difficulty even bullet hell shmups are like this (eg some of the best CAVE players on shmups forum have boasted theyve beaten a Touhou game or two in their 1st playthough)
There is a 3rd type of difficulty, that of when the game is broken in someway or has shitty controls. But im sure we all can agree these type of games dont really count.

You know... were the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games not absolutely broken and bugged to the point of being an exercise in frustration I would agree with you, but as it stands base S.T.A.L.K.E.R makes Fallout: New Vegas look polished.namewon said:
Do we also need to go into the long history of Shadows of Chernobyl, how it was vaporware for the longest time and many of the features that appeared in build 1935 [http://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Build_1935:_Quick_Guide] were removed in the final release due to bugs and S.T.A.L.K.E.R complete restores and polishes that functionality making the game closer to the developers original vision.
Congratulations on running 100% completion on TR:A in 2 days! That's insane! I tip my hat to you.lacktheknack said:
