storytime7 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 What are some of the hardest video games you've ever played? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Snake Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The hardest game I've ever played by far is Battletoads for the NES. There's twelve levels, and nearly all of them are impossible to beat without a LOT of trial and error. To make things worse, you only get three continues.

person Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii New Play Control: Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for Wii Super Mario Bros 3 New Super Mario Bros for DS and Wii Vexx WHY? I became so agitated in so many levels to the point where i wanted to throw my controller against the wall. i didn't do that though because then it would break, but i did yell and scream and swear loudly because i just couldn't contain myself. These game made my forehead sweat and my heart beat fast. Every level is all or nothing intensity. Checkpoints come too long into a level(except vexx because you select missions from worlds to complete so there are no checkpoints), and you will have to replay the same part over and over again that you have already past until you get past the hard part that was after that. Or even worse, you will lose all lives, get a game over, and have to restart the whole level all over again. This can take forever to beat it because of its cruel, brutal, and devilishly evil difficulty. But, despite all the frustration, tension, and stress you get out of these games, you also get a lot of fun, entertainment, addiction, and nostalgia out of them too. After all, they ARE platformers, the only genre of video games that I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Tracy Ghosts/Ghouls and Goblins. Don't think description is needed, if you've even HEARD of these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Tracy only gets really difficult on the last two levels IMO, but Ghosts n Goblins is hard as hell. I used about 190 continues before I finally finished the first game. I am NOT kidding.

Minty Car Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 There is this one boss in Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story that pissed me off SO MUCH! It was like this Junkerbot thing that Midbus sent after Mario and Luigi, and it always fucking got me. Finally, when I got to it when replaying through it, I powered up the bros with beans, and spammed with the falling star, and barely beat it. It wasn't that it was hard, it just pissed me off because I was underleveled, and 99% of the attacks on me were a OHKO. Oh well, I beat it at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deli Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah, that thing I could never get past The Wiggler. The mirror levels on Mario Kart Wii are really hard to beat, considering the tracks are completely reversed from left and right and take a while to learn. The level inside of the frogfish on SpongeBob's Truth or Square (Wii) always gets to me, too. Then there's the whole ''Rock and Roll-a-dillo'' level from Super Mario Galaxy 2 that's a total headache.

storytime7 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Anybody ever play Mega Man 2? If so, you KNOW you hated those laser beams in Quickman's stage. Also, Wily's Fortress: Stage 4....everything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

person Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 eh, i'm average at NSMB Wii, and finally managed to get through it the first time after playing it so long because it was so hard. after that though if you replay the game again, it's pretty much cake.

ExKizuna Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I still don't get why some people think the first game is difficult.... Yellow Devil No E-Tanks, which would be fine, if the other games didn't get them. Bosses being incredibly hard if you don't use their weaknesses. Yellow Devil 6 Robot Masters, but only about 3 useful weapons given to you. Might not seem bad to a lot of people, but-a-still. No passwords(Passwords are something in Mega Man that are given to you so if you want to stop playing, you write the password down and when you play the game again, you put in the password an bam. It's like a save-point.) No passwords would be fine, you know, if the next game and the others didn't get them. Yellow Devil. Was the Yellow Devil mentioned yet? old "hard" games are shit. lolumad?

ExKizuna Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 quite satisfied actuallyWhatevz. Because most old games are hard, by todays standards(You know, how now in video games, most will have a nice training section where they take you by the hand and walk through everything nice and slow), so you're basically saying a lot of old games are shit.
