Both are extremely good and extremely difficult.

Divinity II, Demon's Souls, Risen, and a few others.

Very difficult, hardcore, and niche titles.

I don't get it. What's a hardcore game? I thought hardcore meant a person that invested a lot of time in something, or a more extreme version of something.

MGS4 and LBP have very weird reasonings for being in the poll. :P I'd say its a toss-up between IWBTG/Mushihimesama Futari/ and DCS: Black Shark On another note, I REALLY need to get ARMA 2 :P

if you measure hardcore in terms of difficulty, then god without a doubt definetly demon souls

however if you measure it in depth and amount of time dumped into a game Id have to say for me either Oblivion, or Borderlands. Well for general people fallout 3, but I hated it so I didnt play more then like 2 hours :P

Haven't played either, but I heard Megaman 9 and Demon's Souls would make you wish you haven't played either.

Probably something no one's heard of. Ask Yandere, I'm sure they've played some absurdly hard game no one's heard of here.

Of ones I have played Demon's Souls, or Megaman 9, that game is evil.

Same here. The only reason it should be called "hardcorz" is because of the story and how it's for fans who've played the series.

He plays games of the hardest genres, thats why (not visual novels).

Strategy RPGs and Rogue likes, pretty much his bread and butter.

Indeed, Yandere plays uber-niche and hard games. Oh, BTW, you updated your sig again, looks nice with the DS/PSP sections. However, the PSP lacks MGS: Peace Walker. Do take note. ;)

Lol. You've obviously never played any matching making above 40 if you dont think Halo 3 can be difficult. Some of those guys on the higher levels are crazy good.

If you mean to truely master those games, like becoming a lvl 50 online in halo, then yeah I can see that, but that's true of mastering any game where you have to go up against human opponents.

Lulz at the poll options. You all ought to give DCS: Blackshark a try on the hardest difficulty. It has the steepest learning curve out of all the games I've played by far... and yet it manages to be fun (for sim-fans like me, at least).

I've been meaning to pick that up for a while, but I'll probably just wait for DCS: A10 (as I prefer flying fixed-wing aircraft.) On topic - out of the ones I've played, HOI3 or ArmA (haven't played ArmA2.)

i feel GEARS OF WAR is the most hardcore game of this gen..these listed games look softcore..except demon souls..
