What's THE most difficult game of all time?

[QUOTE="tjricardo089"]Dark/Demon's Souls.foxhound_fox

Agreed.
The enemies and boss fights in Dark Souls are easy to overcome with only a minimal amount of damage if you just take the time to watch their basic attack patterns. The only times I really died were when I didn't know where to go or what items did (which was mainly due to a lack of information on the game's part), or when I tried to rush things. Other than that, the game was definitely beatable.

Meanwhile, I don't know what the most difficult game is. I doubt it'd be anything recent - although perhaps I Wanna Be The Guy would be up there. Then again, that's also beatable, so...

Without a question Battletoads for the NES

The Impossible Game

from what I've played ether Demon Souls or Dark SoulsBallroompirate

Evidence: The Last Ritual

Stephen Hawking wouldn't be able to figure out that SOB

Ninja Gaiden for the SNES and maybe Castlevania 3.

I'm probably older than you kid.

I know there are harder games, but of the ones I personally own, one of the only I absoultely cannot beat is Devil May Cry 3.

Off the top of my head next would be MK3 as Smoke. Doesn't matter what difficulty or how many continues you select. You pick Smoke and the AI is insane. Can't even beat the first guy with him.

Gain Ground on Genesis is another hard one, but not a great game either so to hell with it...

I think thats Ninja Gaiden 2, the game doesnt give u a chance to do anything.

QWOP

How any one manages it is beyond me.

Ghosts 'n Goblins for the NES by far. The game threw kitchen sinks at you at every turn. 2 hits and you're dead, widely spaced out checkpoints, losing all your lives meant starting at the beginning of the level, endlessly spawning enemies, platforming segments that regularly forced you to make blind jumps, a brutally short time limit to finish levels, and NO password or save game feature. If you turned the game off, you had to start the entire game over again. Oh and if that wasn't sadistic enough, when you "beat" the game you didn't actually beat it. You had to play through the entire game again, and it was somehow HARDER than the first time.

Either I Wanna Be the Guy or some Bullet Hell game.

Battletoads, like many of you guys said. Playing with someone else made it less hard but I don't think I've ever finished the game.

I never got to play Ghost n' Goblins (I know right, what type of video game player am I). But, that does sound hard. Maybe the closes game I got to play with that type of difficulties would have been, Adventures of Bayou Billy.

Bayonetta on the harder difficulties is pretty ridiculous.

Demon Souls/Dark Souls. I know i probably just suck at the game's but dam are they hard.

Battletoads is a triumph of difficulty that laughs at other games. Rare was a d1ck company before the SNES days. If you want a laughably difficult game this is the one for you. And yes, it has to be the NES one.

Recently....Alan Wake on nightmare mode.

Nah...

You probably just get tired of doing the level over when you die and get sloppy.

I do that a lot.
