Hardest Game You've Played?

[doom44]

Far Cry. A lot of fun but there are these mutated monkey things that jump at you and kill you in one hit. Plus, they like to hide in all the bushes at night. Also, there are these invisible mutant things that hop all over the place. Very frustrating fighting these things.

Duke Nukem Forever is pretty hard. I'd call it a real challenge.

[Lord Ornlu]

Didn't like the begining of Duke Nukem, like it had the spirit of the old games but it was kinda too much guided for me, not much experimentation and difficulty. Later on it gets better

[BTGBullseye]

Hardest would have to be the final levels of a game my brother made for the old Apple computers back in the late 80's... (back before his accident his IQ was somewhere above 190, and he had it mostly dedicated to computer programming and graphics)

 

Couldn't say why that was so much harder than Doom 3 on Nightmare with an 'enhanced difficulty' mod, but it was for some reason. Was far more fun too...

The Game. I keep losing. lol

I think it was Ninja Gaiden. I suck at it.

Another one I played was one of the rainbow six games for the PC. You played as a squad member of your choosing for each mission. head shots killed you instantly, else it was a 2 hit death. if anyone died in the mission, they were gone for good from the game. If they were injured in the mission, they were injured permanently. At least, that's the conclusion I drew from the first 6 levels. Never beat it to this day. T_T

May be a bit nerdy, but it is Zelda 2. Honestly, I never beat the first level.

You never beat LoZ:aLttP?!?

I think he meant Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link on the NES, which I'll admit has a very steep difficulty curve. ALttP is actually Zelda 3, technically.

Ah... Most people refer to ALttP as the second one, hence why I asked.

 

Yeah, I never actually played the second NES one, so I don't know, but I'll be doing it soon just to be able to say I did...

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, Zelda II is considered the underdog in the series and a lot of fans dislike it, mostly because it has a lot of gameplay differences. It's a sidescroller for one.

 

Though I wouldn't say it's a bad game, just a hard one.

Duke Nukem 3D on the IPod Touch. The controls suck and whenever you go into the menu to try and fix them and press back the game ends! Plus, Machineworks never released an update to fix it. So whenever I try to move backwards I end up strafing to the left.

Hardest game I ever played, Red Faction on hard difficulty. The game was challenging enough on normal but on hard it was dam near impossible. Though I have heard of people beating it on hard, I never did.

Challenge accepted!

Any serious Sam game on mental difficulty in single player

[Axeldeath]

Serious Sam is pretty difficult on normal, hate to think what it's like on mental D:

[Batman]

Somebody already said it, but Contra for NES that game is tough.

[Dr. Derpy Hooves Ph.D]

LoZ puzzles are somewhat difficult.

In LoZ:TP it took me longer than i really care to admit to figure out how to get to the first poe in Arbiter's Grounds.

I just skipped it. it was the last one i got.

I never made it past the deku tree in OoT. I was just too lazy to figure it out.

In the original, it took me 3 days to pass the 5th dungeon. I bombed down every wall in sight and nothing happened.
