Hardest Games to Beat?

[LnGrrrR]

What are the hardest games you've ever played? And I'm not talking a game that was cheap or broken... I just mean a legitimately hard game to finish.

Off the top of my head, I'm going with COD4 on the hardest mode, Castlevania, and Mike Tyson's Punchout.

[IronMexican]

God of War on Titan mode. I couldn't even beat the first part.

[leemajors]

zelda 2

[Heath Ledger]

Ninja Gaiden Black.
Original Metroid.
R-Type.

[mardigan]

God of War on Titan mode. I couldn't even beat the first part.

Dude, I couldn't get past the first Athena statue in God Of War 2 on Titan mode, that shit is impossible. Also Ninja Gaiden for Xbox on the hardest setting was unbelievably difficult.

[BlackSwordsMan]

ninja gaiden 2 on master ninja
so fucking frustrating

[dirk4mvp]

Ninja Gaiden. 2 isn't as hard but it's still pretty difficult. I didn't finish Black because I was tired of getting my ass kicked.

[Creepn]

100% of Nintendo games. I haven't beat one nintendo game in my whole life. I dont even know the ending of Mario Bros.

[Sense]

Some tetris games..... seriously..

I remember having this game.. where I was a square.... no REALLY. a fucking square... cruising around rectangles "mazes" or some shit... oh and there was a key... and a duck.

WTF.

[lefty]

Yao Ming in NBA 2k9 :D

[IronMexican]

Same.

[ace3g]

100% of Nintendo games. I haven't beat one nintendo game in my whole life. I dont even know the ending of Mario Bros.

I was basically going to say the same thing, the old NES games, sometimes you would never know how many levels there were or how hard the bosses were.

[Jacob1983]

Resident Evil 4 Wii edition

[resistanze]

100% of Nintendo games. I haven't beat one nintendo game in my whole life. I dont even know the ending of Mario Bros.

You should've played Kirby's adventure :lol

But you're right for the most part. I owned about 30 NES games, and I probably only beat 10 of them without Game Genie.

[resistanze]

I think Devil May Cry 3 on hardest difficulty (PS2) was insane.

[stretch]

NES Ninja Gaiden. Level 6-2 is the biggest fucking pain in the ass in video game history.

[florige]

Wolverine Origins. There is nooo way in hell I could had beaten that game without a cheat code for invincibility. Certain parts are damn near impossible to get by without it. I did figure out how to beat the final boss without cheating though.

He said games that weren't broken.

E.T. was shit. Blaster Master wasn't that tough. It was very possible to beat.

[jman3000]

If you play CoD 4 on Veteran like it was a Rainbow Six game it's actually not that bad to beat at all.

The only old game I can recall as being hard for me was a Star Trek game I had for the Genesis. Recent games would be Earth Defense Force on Inferno mode, CoD 2 on Veteran (Hill 402 or whatever is insane), and getting to a million points in Geometry Wars.

[Thunder Dan]

Donkey Kong......they actually made a documentary about it

[stretch]

It took me about 2 days to beat Mike Tyson. I had a much harder time with Super Macho Man than with Tyson.

Really? My hardest guy was Mr. Sandman. Other than him and Tyson, everyone else was pretty easy to me. He was so much different than anyone else in the game.

Idk, once I got the timing down with Tyson I used to show off for my friends and toy around with him. But for whatever reason I could never figure out Macho Man's tactics. I can't remember Sandman. I know I did beat him though. I tried playing Tyson like a month ago and he was beating the crap out of me. lol I lost the timing when he starts throwing those damn jabs.

The last time you fight Bald Bull was always the toughest guy for me. Don't know why. Soda Popinski was a pain in the ass but not too tough. I never had alot of trouble with Macho Man or Sandman.

[Mister Sinister]

The Silver Surfer game for the NES.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Ninja Gaiden. 2 isn't as hard but it's still pretty difficult. I didn't finish Black because I was tired of getting my ass kicked.

play on master ninja and try fighting a group of incendiary ninjas

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
I've probably started this game about six-thousand times, but have yet to make it all the way through. Something always inevitably comes along to remind me why I didn't like this game. Once Donatello and Leonardo go out, you're done for.

Battletoads (NES)
It's all cake until you get to the third stage. It's a mindfuck beyond that.

Paperboy (NES)
You're constantly running out of papers, running out of customers, running out of time, and as if that's not enough, there's the crazy bitch with the butcher knife who has a problem with The Daily Times.

The Arcade Version was a classic, and was released as TMNT2 for the NES. That is one of the few arcade games I plugged enough quarters into to see all the way to the end. :smokin

Not as technologically advanced than what we have now (duh), but fun and entertaining.

Plus, the cartridges would load the games in seconds, and you didn't have to remember the buttons combos for every single game.
A = hit/shoot

When I was 10, I wanted to kill the makers of Ghosts 'n Goblins.

[METALMiKE]

Top Gun

[z0sa]

dragon warrior 2

[Death In June]

The NES Ghost and Goblins was probably the hardest game I've ever played, and it was a cock slap to the face when you finally did beat that game the first time. Donkey Kong is a close second. Beating Tyson in punch out, a distant third.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Super Ghouls and Ghosts for SNES, only an asian of the highest caliber could possibly beat this game


(which is related to ghosts and goblins IIRC)

[florige]

Top Gun

+1000 :lol It took me damn near a year just to figure out how to land on the damn aircraft carrier without over shooting it.

[stretch]

Top Gun gets hard starting around level 3. I could always beat the first 2 pretty easily.

Top Gun 2 is pretty tough though from the get go. Level 2 is a bitch because everyone shoots like 3 missles the second they see you, then you have to dodge a shitload of trees which makes no fucking sense since you are in an airplane and should just be able to fly over them.

[resistanze]

Anyone ever play Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warship for NES? That shit was not only difficult, but trippy as fuck.

Think the second last level was called 'Urownd' :lol

[sabar]

Ninja Gaiden for the NES is pretty ridiculous. Stage 6 is pretty much impossible to finish if you take too much damage because if you die to any of the 3 bosses you get to do the whole thing again. Couple this with the fact that stage 6-2 is just retarded and you have an extremely frustrating game, even when using save states on an emulator. The brown eagle/hawk enemies are easily the most retarded thing ever placed in a video game. They do more damage than bullets, rockets, swords, bosses, everything.

Oh, and if you dont know that jump-slash does more damage than normal, you are in for a harder game.

I spent hours upon hours on stage 6-2 and 6-3. I finally figured them out, and to this day, I can still usually beat them after losing only about 4 or 5 lives, as opposed to dying 20+ times, throwing the controller at the screen, and turning the game off, having to do it all over since theres no saves or passwords.

The key to the game definitely is having the jump-slash. That thing makes the game too easy, especially bosses. If you do it enough times, you can actually kill Ryu's father without hitting that orange ball thing. Well, all it does is make him explode, but to beat the level, you still have to destroy the orange ball. But its hilarious when you can beat bosses in one hit with that thing.

This one is better imo. The graphics are better on the arcade version, but this one has more options.

[DarkReign]

Wolverine Origins.

Not being a dick, but...

Huh? Walked through that game in a day.

[Dex]

U3NfG0vDdRo

I beat this stage exactly one time. I was hanging out with a friend, and had ingested the perfect mix of Dos Equis and Wendy's. He had already lamed out, and I was literally sitting and bitching about how impossible the stage was while I went through it. I completely lucked out and zoomed through the last part without dying once.

Then I got to stage 4, summarily got my ass handed to me, and never picked up the 'Toads again.

This has been posted before, but it seemed appropriate for this thread as well.

Agreed.

I had both Ninja Turtels....the original. Impossible to beat. You simply run out of turtles and boy did i hate that fucking water level.

Paperboy...hard too, i could never escape the lady or whatever that chases you.

Rad racer? i dont remember beating this..ever

Turok 2, got to the very end and didnt finish...i forget why but i think the level became too large and complicated to run through and i got tired of running around.

and there were others, but i could go on for hours.

on that note, i wonder how fast/slow i would get through these same games today...either way i miss being a kid and having the only worry in my life be that i cant get through a specific level....:depressed miss those days

[AnthonyM]

Bump.

It's 4:15 in the morning, and Ninja Gaiden has been running on my computer for approximately 26 hours. Fuck you level 6-2.

I was going to start a thread about the hardest games to beat, but upon searching found this one. And to no fucking surprise Ninja Gaiden for NES litters this thread.

Aside from that...if anyone ever played Amagon for the NES, that game is really difficult too just because you die instantly from one hit...Don't think I've gotten past level 2-1 in that game.

Edit: TMNT is just ridiculous also. I would say Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 are tough if you want to play it straight through...but both games have such an abundance of secrets that I can't rank 'em up there with most difficult.

[Xevious]

When I was 10, I wanted to kill the makers of Ghosts 'n Goblins.
I was going to say the same thing. That game probably took a decade or more off my life expectancy from stress it caused. It raises my blood pressure to think about to this day.

Astyanax for NES was the same. I don't think I progressed passed the first level.

[MannyIsGod]

I smashed battle toads when I was a kid. Loved that game.

The original Contra was near impossible even with the up, up, down, down, etc. cheat code. It was comical trying without the code. I never beat it tbh.

Fail Gamer.....

you have no IDEA what hard is...

Contra aint shit.

[AnthonyM]

Yeah, I feel like most people should be naming NES games tbh.

I don't really count a certain game on the hardest difficulty being one of the hardest games to beat. I feel that a game is hard to beat because it was the game itself was difficult to beat...not because you put it on the hardest difficulty.

And, because NES games had no saves, and had tons of glitches/respawning enemies in certain games...that makes most NES games some of the hardest to beat.

Games like God of War and Metal Gear are difficult but they really don't have shit on NES games because those games had saves and didn't have respawning enemies that owned your soul.

And, Ninja Gaiden has been running for near 48 hours on my computer now...but I don't want to turn it off.

Not only that, but even if you had cheat codes on, with god mode and unlimited ammo/magic, and even no-clipping on (walk through walls) the main boss can STILL KILL YOU! I couldn't even CHEAT to win!

You using an emulator? Can't you just use the 'save state' command and pick up where you left off?

I was using virtualnes.com. It's an online emulator, not one I actually downloaded and only certain games on that site have save states. Ninja Gaiden did not.

But I downloaded an emulator and ended up beating it using save states, I just wanted to try to beat it without them and basically gave up.

[AnthonyM]

I'm playing TMNT on my Droid, and the slightly less responsive controls are make that shit so much harder. :lol

On my Incredible, it's near impossible to play any game of the like. Games with a lot of movement would be impossible to beat using Nesoid.

I may just uninstall it from my phone because there's almost no point in having it.

I give Nesoid props, because it works much better than I expected initially, especially the onscreen controller. That said, the random split second delay from not hitting a button right/the button not responding is a killer. You end up having to glance beneath your thumbs at the controls at the same time you're playing to make sure you're gonna nail a move.

[BlackSwordsMan]

No question.

I'm not sure it's in the upper echelon of hardest games, but it's definitely tough. I'm actually playing this on my Nesoid as well, and surprisingly it is easily the best controlling game of all the platformers I've downloaded. I've been flying through it like it was the old days.

[Booharv]

You suck.

lol video game smack

I haven't played any games in 8-9 years. You're right, I really wasn't a great player tbh. Never said I was just said that it was the hardest game I played.

Hah, Hexen. hadn't thought about that game much since i played the multi on a three comp coax LAN in the dorms.

[resistanze]

It's funny how a lot of NES games were difficult simply because you could not resume progress in most games after you turn it off. I remember when I first got into emulation in the late 90s I would download every game I owned for NES and beat them with the luxury of resuming whenever I pleased.

Seriously. There's no shortage of NES/SNES games that I only learned to truly love once I got save-state abilities.

Yeah it was a blast going back to play them in NESticle when that came out. That stupid Japanese Transformers game was still impossible imo.

You know another game I had a real hard time with was Duck Hunt no matter how close I put the gun to the screen, I could never beat it.

The first Megaman was also pretty tough, mainly because there was no passwords...

And because of the damn boss after you beat the 6 robots...If it weren't for the "pause" cheat I'm not sure I ever would have beat that boss...tough game but the ones I mentioned earlier were still tougher but this one should be mentioned...

The original Mega Man was cake, but the final bosses were pretty difficult, though.

I used to hate The Boy and his Blob and Friday the 13th...

No question.

yeah, its pretty tough. definitely up there.

God of War 3 or really any game that requires you to be patient, I am REALLY REALLY REALLY impatient when it comes to video games. I just rush the shit outta every game trying to beat it as fast as I can which causes me to die a shit load of times.

Yeah, the game itself isn't too hard. It's when you get to the bosses is where it got tough.

A Boy and his Blob was sorta hard, and so was Friday the 13th, but I never really got into either of them so I didn't mention them.

Did anyone play Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on NES?

If so, were any of you able to find the secret door in wave 10, without having the Magic Idol?

Damn near impossible.

AVGN went pretty shitty for a while, but he's picked it back up the last few episodes IMO.
