RIDICULOUS difficulty

[TheTrojanBadger]

What? NOBODY mentioned it before me? Okay.
GODDAMN FAR CRY 2
After that first mission where you have to rescue your buddy or something, it is like sprinting into a brick wall. Mostly because of two flaws.
1-In the early times, you have basically shit for guns. All of the enemies have guns at least a level above yours, but when you take their guns, they are all rusted and stuff.
2-They can snipe you through 5(!!!) layers of jungle, in the fog, at night, because your heart was beating at about the noise level of a ninja's church fart in a vacuum.

i decided recently to check out the original fallout games on steam... yea there hard.

Mad Jack, who was the boss on Frantic Factory in Donkey Kong 64. To this day, I've only beat it once because it pissed me off me so much when I played it years ago.

I love that game! Absolutely kicked my ass for a while on the later levels.

F-zero Gx. Story mode. Very hard difficulty.

I still have that tunnel bit burnt into my brain. Also the only game so ridiculously hard that I still dedicated to finishing it.

Somehow I beat all of those somehow x-x...I feel proud of myself, for making it through and not breaking my Gamecube controller, the first mission(the simulation) and the umm...F-Zero Grand Prix are the hardest ones out of all of them though

I beat the simulation when I made a map on a piece of paper for the most effecient route to get them! The tunnel level was hell on the hardest difficulty I found, my god... Master mode on the normal races was a joke compared to story mode though. Well obviously, the unwashed masses could never finish it, but I can come first pretty often now, whereas the story ones take dozens, if not hundreds of tries to get them...

 

[Flack]

The final boss in Dantes Inferno on the hardest difficulty.
FUUUUUUU~~~~

Antony is pretty gay so far(that's as far as I've gotten so far), eventually just cheesed it spamming L2+X, the move that makes you stab like 6 times.

I dont have that move, cause i went full holy. Just spammed my crosses @ him and dodge dodge dodge. He wasnt that bad though. Hes CAKE compared to Lucifer though (not the first form, which is easy, the 2nd form).

Star Ocean 3. All three of the first ones seem to have this to some degree due to having a large number of sidequests and expecting you to do a good number of them. Once you arrive on Planet Styx however, every battle becomes a fight for your very existence unless you've mastered Item Creation and made some uber-weapons before going to the Lunar Base.

Did you ever try Sphere 211?
If you thought the Lunar Base was hard (average for me) then (optional dungeon) Sphere 211 will destroy you about halfway through.

Not to mention the end game superbosses...

Yes, I was hoping not to remember them too much lest my head start hurting again. Sphere 211 was where I gave up entirely and sold the game, though all of the other dungeons following Styx are murderously tough in their own way, particularly the Firewall. That's why its a ridiculous curve.

Alien Resurrection on PS1 is mercilessly hard and also the scariest, most underrated game I can think of. Despite the insane difficulty it was fair and never cheap, fighting aliens is supposed to be hard. I couldn't beat it so traded it in back in 2002, I've just ordered a copy and a PS1 memory card from e-bay as 8 years on I consider it unfinished business, I'm going to take that bastard down if it kills me.

Only one game made me want to actually break the TV open and say it was ridiculously hard.
I never usually find a game too difficult. There's always a way to get past it. But goddamnit.

That boss in FFX-2 in Bevelle on the 100th floor. Maybe it was because I was young. Maybe because I went through 100 floors. But when that guy kept killing me...

 

[chaos order]

id have to say demon souls the the difficulty curve is equivelent to climbing a brick wall which eventually has barbwire around it

 

[xitel]

Of most recent games I've played, it has to be Prinny: Can I Really be the Hero? Dear lord, it's pretty much inspired by IWBTY but set in an utterly hilarious universe. The fucking levels are harsh and the bosses are flat out douchebags, I'm looking at you Chefbot-9000 and Sir Sweet!!

Spoiler: This is the expression you will have playing this game, wasting you lives away

This game is fucking evil...but dear god will not give up despite how many times this game slaps you around.

Gah, fuck yes. I nearly broke my PSP mashing the Square button in that game. It still squeaks when I click it.

As for ridiculously difficult games, I would have to say Ninja Gaiden 2 is up there. The worm boss in the subway made me quit. Halo 2 switched to Legendary gets ridiculously hard ridiculously fast.

Also, I want to mention that I don't think IWBTG is really all that hard. It fucks with you, but once you recognize patterns it's actually pretty easy. Although, on insane mode it's... insane. I mean, the only save point in the game is a glitch that appears for like, a couple frames.

No More Heroes 2. Pick any boss fight, there you go.

 

[Urgh76]

As has been said before, Kingdom hearts

 

[Small Waves]

Most shmups.
Most music games.
Most Atlus titles.

No one's mentioned it yet? Seriously?

The Water Temple from OoT. Everything's a breeze for the entire game, and then BAM! Lowering/raising water levels, going all the way to the clothing menu to change into your iron boots, and worst of all, being able to get yourself stuck forever if you do things wrong with absolutely no warning that such a thing was even possible.

Still haven't beaten it.

I personally thought that was the best Zelda dungeon ever, of any Zelda game. I loved every second of it, it was beautifully designed. I think I know what you mean about the 'glitch', if you will, of getting stuck but it's not forever.
The original Price of Persia on DOS is right up there. 1 hour to finish? instakill when you drop more than 6 feet? Insanely hard levels? Bastard of a game

 

[BigHandInSky]

The water temple, as everyone else says.

But also that level from C&C 3 where you have to control limited power when there is a fully defended enemy base inches from your doorstep. That was the first time I threw a mouse against my wall. Video games do make me at least violent

i know my first try i was being owned, i ust managed to be able to hold them off, when.....
the flipping MCV comes to play, RIGHT NEXT TO THE ENEMY SUICIDE BOMBER BASE

Mass Effect 2's Insane difficulty. Now don't get me wrong, I liked Insanity in the original game. It was perfectly feasible if you were willing to spend the extra time and effort. Some people, however, complained it was too easy; to rectify this, IMHO, Bioware went too much in the opposite direction.

Now, if you try and use your newly-game-completed Shepard to tackle Insanity difficulty, the difficulty curve spikes, so you're forced to import a ME1 character and start anew at Level 5. And even if you do, the difficulty's just unreasonable. Scions become demigods. Harbingers become armor-plated juggernauts, and while it's not impossible, there's nothing you can do to make it easier on yourself, even if you've beaten the game twice. It's just too much for one person to handle.

I have no problem with Bioware implementing an Insane difficulty in ME 3; rather, I'd welcome it, but only if they manage to fix it so it's still hard, but not unreasonably so.

 

[Premonition]

That slums level in Jak 2.


Many controllers were broken.

I figured out to hoverboard to the end. Solved a lot of problems. but yeah, that game was all over the place when it came to difficulty levels.

 

[ShoryukenDude]

Hmmm......
Dante's Inferno- Full Holy
Games all well and good as you Cross-spam your way through everything in sight, until you face....
A: Heretics-Who are Immune to the Cross and make everything else in the room immune.((At least the ones with the purple circles above their heads.))
B: Lucifer- Who Hurts you if you spam the cross. ((Still trying to figure out how that works.))

The rest of the game is cake, but god dammit Visceral

DJ Boy.....DON'T....EVER.....PLAY IT!
