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.
Hardest game ever.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-Akytalusia said: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:
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:
Certain tracks on certain rhythm games require way more from the player than most "games".
Besides those... hmmm...
Ikaruga on Arcade Mode. Three hits, you're dead. I can't even get passed the second boss on that mode, and it gets harder and harder and harder.

I know I can't. I played that on a SNES emulator and got to, what I guess, must be pretty close to the end, but then I ran into this reeeaaally long impossible to make jump.IamSofaKingRaw said:
How about this:
I've not played it, but I imagine the challenge would be dodging all those bullets AND putting up with that bitches annoying laugh.

IWBTG isn't hard so much as it's mindless trial and error. In the first 3 minutes I died 15 times to obsticles that were literally impossible for me to avoid, because by the time I was made aware of the way around them, it was impossible to avoid them.thedoclc said:
That is cheap difficulty that artificially extends playtime without ever actually challenging the player's skill.
