"This **** will not beat me."

[archvile93]

Super Mario Bros. 2, the lost levels version on Wii. Dear god that's hard. I wasn't really having fun eventually, the game was too hard to be fun, but I kept going, and won. It took probably half a year to do, but I did it. To give you an example of how rediculous this game is just go to level 8-2. If you get to the end of the level, you'll just run into a wall. You can sit there and wait for time to run out, or you can realize that you need to find a secret vine. Where is this vine? Well it's in a block over a cliff, with a red paratroopa. To hit it without dying, you have to make a running jump at the very edge of the cliff and hit the troopa at the exact right time to both hit the block and make it to the other side. Also, don't forget, that troopa doesn't come back so even if you survive you only have one shot. If you blow it to many times it's back to the begginning of the game for you. I think this game is the reason Atlus games seem so unappealing to me. It sucked all the masochism right out of me.

 

[Whispering Cynic]

Insanity difficulty in the first Mass Effect, playing as an adept, a new (low level) character, and the final Krogan battlemaster on Therum. God fucking damnit, that was a fight I'll never forget. It took me almost three hours to kill that bastard, I died more times than I care to remember, invented a few new (and fairly incoherent) expletives, attained levels of furious rage I previously thought impossible, but I preservered. The feeling of satisfaction upon finally killing him was well worth it.

Max Payne 3...if you try to beat the game without taking a bullet.

 

[DesertMummy]

Grand Theft Auto 3 ported on the Xbox. The controls were atrocious, not to mention the unnecessary timers on 90% of the missions. Seriously, fuck that game. Also, Gears of War. No, I'm serious. It was mainly due to the fact the game wants you to sit in cover like a good little boy, and play the game like a pop up shooting gallery at a carnival. But you know what? That's boring! So fuck that, I ran around playing the game like it was half life, barley ever using cover. Boy, did I ever get my ass whooped! But I soldiered on, and beat the game, and shortly after hurled my disc onto concrete, shattering it to bits because I lived through all that difficulty for a shit story nobody cares about. Fuck both those games

The Tricky Chest Chases in Rayman Origins. If any controllers were to be smashed in this game, these would be the culprits.

...Just watching the first part of that video made me think, "Kayin has NOTHING on this."

I'd say Dungeon Defenders on Nightmare. It's incredibly difficult compared to the rest of the game (if only because there are enemies that spawn that you might have never seen before, and they require a fresh way of thinking compared to even Insane mode), especially when you're only starting to get into mythical equipment (but it's also a requirement to get said equipment). Still, I'm determined to do everything (eventually) on Nightmare, so I'm inching my way through it.

Mythical equipment drops on insane difficulty.

Also if your having problems, your obviously not playing as the squire. . .he is still stupidly OP, and probably will continue to be.

Although I enjoy fighting over the top fighters (Marvel vs. Capcom series, Skullgirls, Super Smash Bros. series, etc.), I can never seem to master/get as good to play competitively. And it isn't because I don't practice or play solely with experts, but I just get to a point where I get good with some characters and just peak a few steps before actually reaching tournament level skills.

I still just play for fun and I'm not really out to win tournaments anyway.

I refuse to stop playing Guilty Gear even though I have been fighting the same boss for 3 hours something in me just wants to keep going until I have proven my superiority over a machine.

 

[AppleShrapnel]

Wandering dragon/drake/wyrm in Dragon's Dogma (in Devilfire Grove, for those familiar with the game)... he promptly roasted/stomped me several times, but I eventually figured him out. Leveled up a bit, refined skills, upgraded equipment and went back and just barely skated out of the ensuing fight victorious.

Been gaming a long time, but that was the most personally rewarding fight I've ever had. :3

Gears of War, General RAAM on Insanity difficulty. I spent two weeks trying to kill him just so I could beat the game on its hardest difficulty. When I head kill him it twas a glorious sight. Still to this day my greatest gaming achievements.

Something curious happened to me with RAAM. Couldn't even beat him on Normal difficulty. So I stopped playing. 6 months later, I re-started playing the game on Insane and got to kill that bastard on my first try. One of the best moments of my gaming life (with all the achievements popping up)

OT: Your case reminds me when I started playing Counter-Strike I, literally, died so many times I didn't even enjoy the game, but, I kept goin' (for the sake of it, I suppose). And I, now, consider myself pretty decent CS player.

Yeah, crappy low tier Mythical stuff, and in wave 16+ on survival. I know, I have some. That's one of the problems with random drops.

Anyway, my main builder is a Countess, but I also have an Aura Initiate, Trap Huntress and Wall EV, along with a DPS Monk. I just managed to solo Aquanos Insane last night, and now I'll be farming Trans Seahorses, that should help.

As for having problems, keep in mind my highest character in level 78 (DPS Monk) and I have no stats above 800 yet.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

That iss when I love games the most. Some games that are too hard I just don't like because they either require luck or just pure force. If I have to think really hard and change tactics in a game to beat a level that is kicking my ass then I love it.

 

[Triforceformer]

"This shit will not beat me" is pretty much the mindset you need to get skilled at Dota 2 and Dota-like games like Super MNC. Only replace "Shit" with "That fucking Tank who can always get just enough damage to have the Afterburn kill me just before I get inside spawn."

 

[Tazzy da Devil]

Mario Kart Wii at the moment. Yes, I know it's not a hard game, but I suck at it. I'll keep on playing it until I unlock Rosalina, though.

 

[Jimmy T. Malice]

Obviously Demon's/Dark Souls are insanely hard, but the two Batman:Arkham games are surprisingly challenging on Hard/New Game Plus difficulty. It's surprising how much not having a counter icon throws you off, especially in Arkham City when multiple enemies attack at the same time. Armoured guys with guns are also hard to take down stealthily.

Captcha: lark about. No, I don't think I will with these games.

Well your highest level character not being a builder is your problem. The only characters I don't have at least lvl 74 is the monk, because on Nightmare he is just about the most useless character.

And I broke 1000 on my tower damage stat at Lvl 74 with my Squire, back when 74 was max level. It was all just Mystimire forest, over, and over, and over, and over, and then a few more times for good measure.

 

[Terramax]

Anyone played the last tag team battle on Dead or Alive: Dimensions. Someone PLEASE pm me if they've completed it. Just to prove it can be beaten.

Not only are you up against 2 ultra-hard fighters, but they can both do a move that takes around 70% in just a split second, AND your AI tag character (which you can't control) spends half the time standing there letting themselves get beaten up.

My 3DS has nearly been thrown against a wall on a few occasions.

I don't play a lot of hard games, but I had this reaction a lot while playing Jak 2

 

[Mysterious Username]

I still have no idea how the hell I beat Bomberman 64. Admittedly not the hardest game but the controls were so awful that it might as well have been the most hardcore title on the N64.
