King Marth 64 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) What video games did you find it hard + hard difficulty mode as well did you managed to clear in your playthrough. I did managed to beat some of the hard video games that I managed to complete that are: The Mysterious Murasame Castle Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3 on the GBA (I did heard it was one of the hardest games on the SNES) The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Star Fox Zero (I did heard people complaining about the controls, but I managed to play the demo first to get use to the controls) Fire Emblem Heroes (I beat all the Story Mode Chapters in Lunatic Mode and Paralogues, and plus, this is kinda like the first Fire Emblem game that I managed beat Lunatic Mode) Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels on Super Mario Bros. All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition in the Wii. Super Mario Maker for 100 Mario Challenge in Expert Mode (13 times to get the Mystery Mushroom costumes) StarTropics (two times on Wii Virtual Console and NES Online) Ninja Gaiden (NES version) The Legend of Zelda (NES version) Zelda II: The Adventures of Link Ninja Gaiden II (NES version) Castlevania Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse Super Castlevania IV Castlevania: Dracula X Blaster Master Mega Man I am still haven't cleared on Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Ninja Gaiden III (NES version), and Cuphead.

Ronnie Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Fire Emblem Conquest. That's really the only game I found terribly difficult even on normal. Most of the games I play aren't that difficult, then again I play them on normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ercdouken Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I Wanna Be The Guy Ninja Gaiden 2 (nes) Revenge of Shinobi Fire Emblem Conquest (Hard) Batman (nes) Castlevania Dracula X (snes) (I recall using save states though) Castlevania III MegaMari These ones come to mind.

Armagon Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Fates: Conquest Binding Blade Link's Awakening (wasn't actually hard but the game confused me a lot. Still loved it though) New Super Mario Bros Wii wasn't hard, but i played it when i was like 9 and i legitimately had trouble with the game. If i go back to it though, i could probably beat it within a day. Mega Man 2 (i used Restore Points tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucarioGamer812 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I haven't played that many hard games to be honest, but I guess I can throw out a few names. God Eater 2 Rage Burst (can be hard if you don't max out support abilities or upgrade your weapon fully or at least get tier 4 combat abilities, that or get really good) I've also gotten all of Heroes Story modes done (at least the normal ones, chain challenge is another story) Project X Zone 2 (not necessarily a hard game, but one that requires patience. There's a few levels that still mess me up in it today and I'm on my 3rd playthrough. Plus the endgame being two hours long is something else) Haven't beaten this one yet but Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier. (so basically as I often call it Boss Gauntlet, as 90% of theb game is boss fights within 2 minutes of another boss, meaning the leveling curve is huge, and the only way to be prepared is grinding up levels and getting better gear, so normal rpg stuff, but very tedious as your characters rarely do very well against bosses and grunts take a little while to kill. Also every enemy in the game can just say "screw you" and force dodge your attacks mid-combo, well they do it when they're close to the ground but at the same time that's where you want to hit them to do extra crit damage, as most bosses are hp sponges and deal a lot of damage) Does Conquest really count? Yeah it was the hardest out of all fates and the only reason I was able to beat it was me abusing dlc grinding to get my units decently leveled for the game but that's it.

EricaofRenais Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The only game that I have beaten that I would consider hard is the original Legend of Zelda game for NES the hard part about it was figuring out where to go, I used a walkthrough to find everything in the game. I need to go back and finish the Legend of Zelda ii the adventure of Link, I got about half way through and then stopped and it and BotW are the only Zelda games I have not beaten yet.

Topaz Light Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Completing Mega Man 1 legitimately with absolutely zero use of save states/Restore Points at any point, for any reason is probably my crowning achievement as a player of video games when it comes to the sheer difficulty of a game I completed. I've also beaten the VVVVVV fangame 333333, albeit on easy mode which was still so tough I kinda dread whatever hard mode is like, and Mega Man Unlimited, another fangame of its respective series, and a pretty darned tough one. I didn't, like, finish them with flying colors or anything; I had a bit of a rough time of it in spots, but I was able to complete them all legitimately and that's what matters to me.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Mmm, gonna try to focus on games that ask me to do hard things, rather than accomplishments that just took a lot of time and effort, which is what a lot of genres (like RPGs, open world games) boil down to, even on their hard modes. Bioshock on its hardest difficulty with no Vita-chambers. Super Meat Boy VVVVVV. The Dark Souls Trilogy I 100%ed Crash Bandicoot 1 as a teenager. People are doing that plenty with the PS4 remake, but on the original PS1 release, you had to do an entire level in one life as another requirement for each gem. Ninja Gaiden (NES) Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix 100% completion on Critical mode. Dead Space 1 on Impossible using only Plasma Cutter and Stasis Final Fantasy 4 DS, the hardest version of the game ever released...and also my first final fantasy, weird. God Hand (Normal Difficulty) God of War (God Mode) Metroid Other M Hard Mode. There are no health expansions, enemies do several times more damage, and your health doesn't drop to 1 on hits that would normally kill you, you just die.

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Of the ones that is listed here and some Endless Frontier 1 and 2 Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden Fire Emblem on highest difficulty modes on 5, 6, 12, and Conquest Aria of Sorrow Julius Mode EO 3 and Untold 1 SMT4 SMT SJ Devil Survivor 1 and 3 Im shit at platformer games but as far as rpg goes in a weirdly hardcore casual in a sense that i would play their hardest mode but proceed to abuse the game to death to make it super easy regardless. My SMT 4 playthrough is a good example in which i played the hardest mode but i did shenanigans like abusing the way Mitama and Stats growth works to create a Long to destroy a huge portion of the game Or like in SJ i delightfully abuse the infinite Demon Source Or Crystal Kaizo where i did some hardcore shit like creating Ancient Power Piloswine and grinding 4 Exeguttor to spam explosion Edited October 27, 2017 by JSND Alter Dragon Boner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrymidfields Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 FE Binding Blade - and I say it was harder than Conquest in some aspects. At least Conquest had better gameplay balancing between characters, amongst other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbus Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Not entirely sure what constitutes hard nowadays, because most of today's "hard" games - non Dark Souls division - are hard for the sake of being hard, usually by calling it "retro" and making it cheap as hell. But these definitely qualify: Ninja Gaiden 1 through 3 Castlevania 1, Simon's Quest + 3, + Super Castlevania Every Zelda before Ocarina of Time Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 Battletoads Star Tropics Metroid Kid Icarus Metal Storm* Streets of Rage (2 + 3 weren't too bad, but one was hard as hell). VVVVVV (though to hell with the perfect clear bollocks)* Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! (the NES game) 14-0 Solomon's Key An asterisk denotes anything I beat for the first time in the past ten years (I'm 37), which goes to show how much harder it gets over time. Now, I very rarely play a game over the default difficulty and if it's an older game, I'm very likely to use things like savestates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 On 10/26/2017 at 9:00 PM, King Marth 64 said: Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3 on the GBA (I did heard it was one of the hardest games on the SNES) I don't know if 2 and 3 can really be considered hard other than the Lost World and maybe 1-2 normal stages (parachute panic maybe). The Hard SNES DKC game is the first one - most noticeably due to how water levels and minecarts are so toned down in the sequels, but it's general platforming also edges out the other games (except lost world stages) by the 4th-5th worlds in general. 2 and 3 provide a better "exploration" challenge, for obvious reasons, but in terms of simply surviving the platforming, they aren't that hard. On 10/27/2017 at 12:36 AM, Glennstavos said: Beat every Round 1 challenge on Pokemon Stadium 2 with Rental Pokemon I don't consider this terribly difficult. The rental pokemon in Stadium 2 for the most part have base 90-100 STAB moves more often than in Stadium 1, and more importantly you get counter/mirror coat / destiny bond. Also Round 1 trainers and not R2? It's really nice of Stadium 2 to only have 1 tournament with level differences, and at 50-55 the stats per level don't actually represent a very large percent power difference. At Level 15-20 and 25-30 in Staidum 1, the per level percentage matters a lot more- 2.5%x5 in the one and 4%x5 in the other. Ths is why you get stuff like R2 Fisher's alakazam being able to 2HKO the rental chansey. Honestly I consider the most difficult opponents in any pokemon game to be the R2 Pika Cup Hiker and the R2 Petit Cup Junior Trainer Male. 22 hours ago, Superbus said: Super Castlevania Every Zelda before Ocarina of Time Personally I've always thought that the multi-direction whip and the reduced importance of sub-weapons puts Super Castlevania a tier below the other classic games in difficulty. I think maybe some of the jumping gaps are harder, but there's only really 2 Super Castlevania levels that I would consider harder than the easiest level in 1 or 3 with the remainder of the levels being intentionally more fluid than anything in the other games. As for Zelda? I think that the Capcom-Oracle games are definately harder than anything other than 1+2 due to the psedo-platforming and many of the bosses lasting longer than other games, especially the final ones. But LttP and Awakening aren't terribly challenging for 90% of the time. I think only like the Ice Cavern and Eagle's Tower come to mind or me. I've heard people say that Awakening is confusing, but compared to the mandatory goron minigame tradequest or skeleton pirates in Ages, I think finding the ghost and doing that maze for the ocarina song so on isn't that bad, especially since the telephone houses are a lot more direct in their hints than the mila tree pause screen hints.
