Most difficult games this gen BY GENRE?

RTS:

Company of Heroes; its EASY difficulty will make you hand your ass to yourself.

Action adventure:

Ninja Gaiden?

RPG:

Demon's Soul?

I consider NG2 a beat em up, there's nothing really adventurey about it.

Well if I played every video game from every genre I could give you my opinion, but I haven't.

From what I have played/remember it might be:

Platformer: You Probably Won't Win (it isn't trial-and-error hard)

I rarely play Strategy games so I'll put them all under one genre

Strategy: A wargame

FPS: No clue

Tactical FPS: VBS2?

SHMUP: No clue

Bullet Hell: No clue

Sim (overall): No clue

Action RPG: No clue

Tactical RPG: No clue

TPS: No clue

Anything under Adventure: No clue

Survival Horror: No clue

Puzzle: No clue

Stealth: No clue

Beat em Up/Hack n Slash: No clue

Light Gun: No clue

Rhythm Game: No clue

Action Adventure: No clue

That's my list.

Haven't played too many games I thought were particularly difficult this gen, with the notable exception of:

Real-time Tactics: Men of War

I consider NG2 a beat em up, there's nothing really adventurey about it.

Uh... Ninja Gaiden isn't an RPG

[QUOTE="Zerkrender"]I honestly don't play a lot games. But from my limited knowledge these are the hardest games. FPS: ARMA2 SIM: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2010 Action RPG: Demon's Souls TRPG: SMT: Devil Survivor came out this gen, but it is on the PS2. Does that count? JRPG: Persona 4, but same problem above. WRPG: Dragon's Age AA: Ninja Gaiden 2 for the Xbox 360. So hard people claim it's impossible rather than they suck. Possible the hardest game this gen overall.Slashkice

Devil Survivor is a DS game. I'm not sure what the official stance is for games like Persona 4. It depends if you define a gen by the systems, or by a timeframe.

TC, Ninja Gaiden is an Action game not action-adventure.

GTAIV is action adventure.

NG2 is beat em up.
