What's the most unbelievably difficult game youve ever played?

Topic^

I know everyones got atleast 1 game they've played that makes them want to smash it to microscopic pieces :P

Mine is Ninja Gaiden II (360)

This game can be flat out unfair at times...

I assume the answer is battle toads or the Gosts and Ghouls series. those games are just ridiculous. Devil May Cry 3 original version is just beyond belief as well.

- Ninja Gaiden 2 on Path of the Master Ninja. With sheer perseverance and arrogance, I somehow beat it.
- Battletoads
- Super Ghosts and Goblins
- Shinobi (PS2) on Super

SWAT 4. True tactical gameplay+realistic rules of engagement+idiot team AI+insane suspect AI+sadistic level design=nightmares.

Tekken Dark Resurrection for PSP gave me some raging moments, also, am I one of the few people who actually didn't find DMC3 that difficult?Deadly_Fatalis

Actually I didnt find any of the Devil May Crys difficult.... except 2 which I havent played.

Megaman 3.

Legend of Zelda on second quest mode.

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn on Hard Mode would definitely be harder than anything else I could think of. I don't even want to imagine what Maniac Mode is like for those Japanese fellows. >____>

Well, you have to remember what the fanbase is like in Japan. Most of them can probably beat it blindfolded.

Beatmania IIDX. I can get about halfway up the difficulty scale with little trouble... but once it hits that wall around 9-10 Hyper difficulty, it just makes a jump I can't carry myself over. And they've made a new difficulty with the release of StyIe 15 Troopers... called "Black."

"Another," the original "highest" difficulty is on the left of the Autoplay, the new one is on the right...

As the tc said in the op Ninja Gaiden two frustrated the heck out of me, got all the way to the multiple bosses at the end but couldn't get past it. Majora's Mask was pleasantly challenging, and Ocarina of Time Master Quest was very hard. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was brutal as well.

Megaman and Contra are very difficult games.

Shinobi. Insanely difficult. but highly addicting.

Just fighting games in general, especially 2D fighters. Samurai Spirits III was outlandishly hard and it didn't help that the game was broken too.

Also 2D shoot-em-ups are a very hard genre. Layer Section and Ikaruga particularly.

Have any of you played a bullet hell game? (Yes, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to this stuff, but seriously, nothing in America really compares)

Games like

Mushihimesama/Mushihimesama Futari

Ikaruga

Perfect Cherry Blossom

Imperishable Night (Same series as PCB)

DoDonPachi Daioujyo

Those are just off the top of my head

Just a couple ground rules

1) No shields

2) A single bullet will kill you

3) Small hitbox

You know, stuff like

First Ghost n´goblins or Section Z (both on NES)

Sometimes I wonder if it's games like these that are to blame for making shoot-em-ups more and more of a niche genre. I'd never so much as touch a game like Mushihimesama Futari, but then who doesn't love Ikaruga or Dodonpachi? :P

Barbie's horse adventrue (ps2), trust me, i could'nt look at the screen for even 13 secs per 4 seconds between them >.

KZ2's campaign on Elite difficulty. I have still yet to beat it. :(Doolz2024

The real Super Mario Brothers 2 and Ikaruga.

Dragon's Lair for the NES. Litchie

I watched the AVGN review of it than tried the game for myself, and I couldn't get past the first screen.

Condemned Bloodshot was the hardest game I have ever played. It was tremendously difficult to even get past the few levels that I did get through. I was totally spooked, to the point that I traded it in. I would inch my way thru the levels...my nerves were shot playing it.

if I were to make a list of the top 100, 75% would be from the NES era and the other 25% from the SNES era. The hardest modern game for me... F-Zero GX. I have not unlocked the Arcade courses ;_;
