I was wondering what you all think the hardest game this gen is. I am looking for a good, challenging game So far for me it was Wipeout HD, ridiculously hard to conquer that game. I also played Armored Core 4 and the Ninja Gaidens. So what game should i try for a good challenge? I was thinking about Demon's Souls, but that game seems more about challenge in trial and error rather than reflexes.

From all I've heard, it's quite the opposite with Demon's Souls. Everyone says that you always feel like it's your fault when you die.

From what I have played and remember right now, also even if I don't know if it is really hard or I'm just a noob in the genre but I believe the correct answer is DCS: Black Shark.

Yandere

.......and it's FREE!!!!!!!!! :o

Seriously, roguelike RPG's are hard by nature, good choice.

Wait Blast Tactics doesn't have permanent dead? I see in the pic something about respawning or is it like start again from the beginning respawning?

Demon's Souls by far... You die because it's your fault, not because of trial and error, you could easily get killed by a lesser demon than a better demon if you're not paying attention. Plus, you can't pause the game (which was really to much), and you have to start allll the way over, just like in the old school games. Lol.

they could do that with very few or no save points but pausing is a requirement for ppl with responsibilities and a bladder ;)

black out the screen on pause if they really have to.

not really a big deal. just find a place where theres no enemy. if you were able to pause, then keeping your health bar full all the time would be a breeze.

you dont need to pause. You kill some enemies and then if you need a break you can break. enemies dont hunt you down. there are tons of safe places you can stand and not die in the levels.

Castle Shikigami is the Hardest game this and any other gen that had one. That series is unbeatable.

Mushihimesama is ridiculously difficult too

I mean Look at these screens:

No, those aren't just purple paint splotches, those are enemy bullets that you have to dodge. You can see it in the 2nd video I posted up there^.

sounds like you'd have to kill them all and find a safe stop before you could leave without having to start all over. not the type of game you want to play if you have a wife :) "Honey can you get the door?" "No I'm fighting monsters"

you cant pause in a MMORPG, RTS, nor FPS if you play it online? demons souls is online too so i dont see the problem here. but i guess there should be a feature for it if you were to play the game offline.

As hard as Demons Souls is, I doubt its anywhere near as hard as 黒 ("Kuroi" or Black) difficulty songs in Beatmania IIDX StyIe 15 DJ Troopers. There is about 65-75% more notes on screen than their equivalent Another charts. Demons Souls might take a lot of skill and good reaction time... but Kuroi difficulty is just insane. Only the best of the best can actually play it... I'm not sure if anyone can actually beat them (yet).

Then why would they take out the pause in the first place??? It does make the game harder, you cant equip anything else quickly if you are in a fight, and you dont have time to re think of anything else. Nevertheless, demon souls isnt as hard when you get the hang of it, they even let you summon up to two online players on it!

But demon souls is still pretty hard though.

They can actually make you just disappear or appear as a stone or something if they really wanted you to pause.

As a fan of Bullet Hell games I wouldn't say they are the "hardest games ever", but they have some of the hardest.

Play the game and you'll understand, just beating the first level yields more of an accomplishment than beating most games on the regular difficulty settings.

With all this talk of not being able to pause in Demon's Souls, am I the only one reminded of the scene in Southpark of the boys playing when when Cartman yells, "Mom! Bathroom!"

black out the screen on pause if they really have to.

i agree. the nice thing though, is that once you clear enemies out of an area, they won't come back, i actually took a phone call for 20 minutes today with my game running, and it was fine.
