I don't remember beating a difficult game.
the difficult ones, I never beaten them (or else, it wouldn't be a difficult one).
And If I ever used action replay/Game Genie/Cheats, then there's no merit getting praised for completing it.


I remember I spent a looot of time and retries completing Snake Rattle 'n Roll on NES., it's not a hard game, just a very long last boss.
The hardest games I wished I had completed is Ninja gaiden on NES.
and there are too many games I wish I could beat that I won't list them here.
You can see a list of games I completed in my signature. (though, it doesn't mention if I cheated or not)
 
Nice,
I also beat Ninja Turtles on the nes back in jan, not a bad game. Maybe this will top it. No Continue\Warp run on Battletoads. My best playthrough on battletoads is a 3 death run but I don't have a video of that. Not sure what my most difficult game is, most games get easier the more you play them.

I don't think I've ever even passed that underground hovercraft level. Battletoads is top tier difficult.
 
In terms of the most fair challenge in games, beating the hardest hunts in the older Monster Hunter games is a mark of some pride for me. Of course these days I'm much better and can rip a Fatalis apart in a matter of minutes, and with Amatsu returning for MHG on the 15th I look forward to ripping him apart with better times as well.

As for the game that left me the most drained, Sonic 06. So much stress, so many glitches, so many dodgy designs (that F$&king kiss...EWWWWW) and redundant plot points (how many times does that dumbass Elise get kidnapped? She rivals Peach at this point), so much of an absolute nut-ache to finish the damn thing. Beating those high speed sections was a matter of more luck than judgement, and aside from the final boss music I didn't enjoy a single goddamn second of it. I persevered because my dad bought an Xbox 360 simply so I could play the new Sonic game, I didn't want his expense to be in vain, but hot damn did those first few days suck. We got Sonic 06, Bomberman Act Zero and Perfect Dark Zero with our console. Truth be told I think we were glad when it died.

Back in the day it was beating Nitros Oxide in CTR and Dark Rayman in, well.. Rayman.
Nowadays, I can't really say I've played really challenging games other than a few mobile titles (if you count those as games :P). As far as those mobile titles go, I've beaten Super Hexagon and received a highscore of about 80 (can't recall the exact amount cause I deleted it) seconds on "Hardestestest" (yup, that's the name of the difficulty hahah).
But I think my biggest achievement is 98% completion of the stage Clubstep in Geometry Dash, which was at the time, the hardest stage of the game. When I failed after 98% I never opened that game in my life again. It's was just so ridiculously frustrating that I just had to stop wrecking my nerves over it. Here's a run through of the stage I'm talking about (I failed at around 1:25)
 
Probably this fun, but ridiculously hard I Wanna Be The Guy-inspired precision platformer. Note that this is a TAS.

My first playthrough took me about 35000 deaths in 50 hours if I recall correctly.

If you are saying sonic on genesis is hard, i dunno what to say.:blink:

Personally, I'm wondering why monkey island are mentioned. You literally can't die in those games.:-P

(And none of those are remotely known for being hard... Perhaps with the exception of doom on nightmare)

it's a list allready not that much maybe, i'm more proud of solving a puzzle like game without the possible game over though than for 3D shoot'm ups... 3D shoot'm ups end up being repetetive on after 5 minutes to me...most of you guys might not know, but there used to be a time without walkthroughs and internet... i didn't have that till i went to 4th grade...
hard isn't defined in the detailes of the game to me, it's not defined by reallety it's by the thoughts behind, okay monkey island wasn't the best example... though it's better than battlefield and doom for sure... farcry, modern warfare... i really don't see those game as being a hard game, and i'm not interest in multiplayer for even a slight bit.
 
Ps2 Rogue Galaxy (BET NOT MANY KNOW OF THIS HIDDEN GEM OF A GAME)
is this a hard one? I haven't started it yet, but one day....
it's cheap on PS4 PSN this week, but it's not undubbed.


I'm currently playing Vagrant Story, and it's insanely hard. Even with infinite HP cheat code haha
why monsters give no Exp ? ;___;
The only way I found to attack enemies is by counter 30% of attack/magic, it hits them 40HP instead of 1HP per hit >_> (and infinite HP helps a lot using that technique)
I will have no merit in completing that game as I'm cheating, but I really tried without cheats first, It's not possible. How could people enjoy that game back in 90's? Or is there an anti-piracy check that PSXonPSP triggers that makes that game impossible to play?

I forgot to add chrono cross for playstation to the list, But rayman is way harder I guess. But it is two different games.

As for your question, Is definitly worth getting. :)
Anyone who like action rpg games like Kingdom Hearts, should play this Hidden Gem game. Is on the same level as Xenoblade chronicles.

"Experience Rogue Galaxy™ for PS2™ system with 1080p up-rendering and Trophies. Additional enhanced features include Shareplay, Remote Play, Activity Feeds and Second Screen support for game manuals with PS Vita or PS App."

• Explore what you see with no load times
• More than 100 hours of gameplay (Compared to $15 Worth that time, your getting more game than your paying)
• Choose from 8 different space pirates
• Unique real-time combat.

I would say it depends on the player opinion, for one thing there is no moves that heal you, so your limited to using healing items, The items are very inexpensive and there about 4 kinds, One that heals 50% to one player, 100% to one player 50% to one party, and 100% to the party. That's uniqe if i ever seen that in a rpg before. There is many items to create, make, find. You need to find some "RECIPIES" For item crafting and use Materials earned in battle and in stores. The combat system isn't so bad but some monsters can be little unfair, like the mimic (Usually represented as a Fake treasure chest monster in like most rpg games) Usually when you play games when you attack enemies and they flinch, some monsters are immune to that making it hard to do combos or just avoid taking hits.

Is a very long game. Again about the same level of quality as Xenoblade chronicles on wii, but you should enjoy the game and feel satisfyied by the end. :)

I didn't even know this game was avaible on ps4, I was waiting for it to be on ps3, But "THANKS SONY" Of all the HD ports of games from ps2 games to ps3, How could you not put this game on ps3:nayps3:
I'm tempted to buy a ps4 as soon as possible to play this game.
