the hardest game you ever beaten?

[lokiduck]

XD I haven't played many games and most of my experience is with flash type games the hardest for me being security. http://www.andkon.com/arcade/obstacles/security/ There is this one level that gets me every single time >>

Back In my day you didn't beat games, games beat you. Pac-Man is less a "game" and more a war of attrition that people are not equipped to win. But seriously, I feel old that I am saying that the first games I beat, were the hardest fought battles. Bucky O'Hare and the first ninja turtles game for the NES come from an extinct mindset, punish kids for buying video game tie ins to popular cartoon franchises, (or tragically unpopular in Bucky O'Hare's case) by making them stupidly hard.

Ninja Gaiden Black on the Master Difficulty, using only the wooden sword.

..

...

I kid, I kid. I was PLANNING on only using the wooden sword, but after a couple levels the game insisted that really wasn't an option. I did beat it though.

Mega man 10 but im sorry to say this, but it was on easy! I know ive shamed myself terribly by playing Mega Man 10 on easy. I just want to say Im sorry.

...actually, I've abandoned most of the games I couldn't beat due to difficulty.
I still haven't beaten Rule of Rose because of it. Seriously, anyone who plays that game for the first time will agree how ridiculous the combat is. I've never been fabulous at gaming combat, but it's seriously torturous in RoR.
Also, Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii. MUHFUCKEN TRITI.
Can't do eet.

Halo reach solo legendary with all the gold skulls on, so fucking difficult.

what is the hardest game you ever beaten beat?
personaly i don't play many hard game just because i lack pacience. but i beat VVVVVV this weekend so i am happy i got 1986 deaths and i still need to find 6 more trinkets i know one area Veni Vidi Vici is the hardest to get so i will attempt to get it last.

what i learned was just take on any challenge with a smile and don't be afraid to say a few curse words when need.

Megaman 2
Devil May Cry 3
and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

GOD DAMN VANITAS and XEANHORT!!

 

[Madara XIII]

god of war 3 hardest difficulty because zeus wouldn't stop multiplying and then after there were like 9 of him they all did the jumping shockwave attack it sucked but I eventually beat them using only conterattacks, except when zeus tried regenerating using gaia's heart thats when the cestus came out.

Honestly I thought the hardest part of beating God of War 3 on Chaos difficulty was fighting the Cerberus and 2 Satyrs right before Zeus.

God that fight was a *****.

I beat IWBTG on Impossible difficulty,
'Twas a fun day.

You are a maniac.

 

[windlenot]

I beat Contra without using the Konami code. That was pretty epic...

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Super Star Wars (A New Hope) for the Super Nintendo. I beat that game without using the debug menu which should give me bonus points for badassness.

 

[Trixsy]

I had a much harder time with second opinion on the wii... because the motion controls SUCK for that game

 

[eaoliver]

In recent memory, VVVVVV, 100% my first time. I've also beaten a lot of the Megaman games as well as the original Castlevania.

Demon's Souls is arriving in the mail soon, though. So I guess I'll see.

 

[mada7]

Super Meat Boy is my choice. I havent 100% completed it but Ive beaten the main game and a good chunk of the extras. No game has ever made me curse at my screen more than that one

 

[Dr. Feelgood]

Vanquish, I played it on normal, and even that was still a challenge. I don't think it'd be a good idea to try it on hard.

 

[Madara XIII]

I beat IWBTG on Impossible difficulty,
'Twas a fun day.

....No...no way in hell is that even possible! You sir are a miracle!!

 

[Mungular]

i cant remember, but i did just beat castlevania order of ecclesia which had some hard parts that took me a while to get past

 

[triggrhappy94]

Er, Gears of war 2 on insane? Though twas easy... I give up on hard games

Gear 1 on Insane was harder, just saying.

OT:
Um... CoD2 on Veteran. That was back before bullet penatrion made it easy to mow down multiple enemies at one time.

 

[TheShogun]

Metal Gear Solid on Big Boss mode, so bloody hard.

 

[Snork Maiden]

I've got Mr Minecraft and finished the Cotton Alley dark world on Super Meat Boy. Unfortunately I'm only on 92% for overall dark completion, but after 35+ hours and 7000 odd deaths I just don't have the drive anymore

I completed the Super Monkey Ball 2 story mode as well - that was pretty tough.

I beat IWBTG on Impossible difficulty,
'Twas a fun day.

....No...no way in hell is that even possible! You sir are a miracle!!

I don't think IWBTG is that hard in the grand scheme of things, but to finish it on impossible... that's beyond an amazing feat. I'm not bad at platformers and IWBTG is one of my favourite games, but I know that's one thing I'll never come close to achieving.

I remember how long it took for anyone to claim beating impossible on the official IWBTG forums, and when the first guy finally did he only managed it by running two versions of the game (one on impossible, one on normal) and practicing the shit out of each segment. I know that my palms would still be sweaty as all hell when it came to the impossible bits.
