What are the hardest games you had finished?

[ericgobbo]

you completed ghost&goblin without cheating? I always admire people who could do that!
I do for completing all games with limited lives and continues I never managed to do myself.

Ghosts n' Goblins you need to beat the game two times! And worse, the first play is already hard and the second is even harder! I can't get past the first level without getting game over. At least this game has infinite continues.

I wasn't questioning your answer, I was giving my own.

Also I wasn't saying that was the hardest game ever (you can still be wrong with your statement). I was saying none of the other games I've played were that hard in comparison.

Ok.

Zelda on Snes is not too hard. BloodBorne, Sekiro and Demon Souls by other side are hard as hell.

This is insane.

Let's see... When going over my list of completed games, I wanna nominate commandos and a virus named Tom.

A virus named Tom is an arcade like game about turning the level green. It starts out fairly okay, but famous up fast. More so : the devs went very creative on level design, making the latter levels insane nightmares on dodging enemies, using other enemies and /or making under pressure.

Commando's is a bit more known. It was one of the pioneers of the stealth genre. It was also insanely hard, with guards being able to spot you from across the map. As with many games, save scrubbing was a thing. But this game was insane even with that in play

Zelda Ocarina of Time on the other hand, I finish it when I was like 10 years old, I know it's not a difficult game, but have in mind that I barely knew english at that age. I finished ALL THE GAME with the aid of a Spanish-English dictionary, literally translating word by word all the dialogs. I guess that helped me learn English.
So the game was hard because this language barrier thing, but I overcame that obstacle and I finished the game.
I still remember my hands shaking when I was escaping Ganon's Tower, and later got a really big surprise when I had to fight Ganon.
Maaaaan... being a child experiencing these games...

Nice one. I appreciate this because I've got a similar story. The game was called LLLL, or leisure suit Larry in the land of the lounge lizards. This was an old Sierra game where you had to input everything. We barely knew English, so friends and me literally played with a dictionary on our lap.
We somehow managed to finish it. So... Never underestimate the power of pure teen boys on their quest to pixelated boobies.

Even better /worse : this was an adult game, and as a test whether you were 18+ (we weren't even teens) you had four or five multiple choice questions. We had entire pages of questions and possible answers, effectively making entering a game in itself.
... And later we found that there was a shortcut to bypass all these questions.

Rockman 2
Zelda 2
that's it really

 

[JeffRuLz]

I finished Celeste the other day. C-sides, chapter 9, all achievements, no assist mode. It gave me a small blister on my thumb.
Guitar Hero 3 on expert. I almost have 5 stars on the main setlist, except for Raining Blood.
Demon's Souls, and Dark Souls 1 (Ng+) & 2
Kid Chameleon on Sega Genesis

I KNOW THAT GAME TOO!

I'm just gonna say "Megaman Zero Series" on GBA...

Guess 12 year old me just wasn't as good in videogaming...

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Kid Chameleon on Sega Genesis

Ah, a man of culture.

But what do people know about Demon's Crest on Super Nintendo? Ghouls N ghost got nothing on that.

Also, Alien Soldier on genesis. Phantasy star on master system and genesis.

Demon's Crest was a game I was very anxious to try when I first saw some screenshots on the Club Nintendo magazine.
Now with the aid of emulators, I tried the game and it fucking sucks.
Might be just me, but fucking sucks.
I was expecting some kind of Megaman & Ghouls'n'Ghosts mix, but no, it fucking sucks.

Well, it's nothing like mega man or Ghouls N Ghost. Now you know why those red demon guys in ghouls n ghost is so hard. They had hard life of their own.

Don't forget to thank nintendo for bringing that to virtual console and also SNES nintendo switch online for more people to experience the pain and suffering of the most hated enemy in Ghouls N ghost.

BRAWL BROTHERS DESERVES MORE LOVE.
It's music and gameplay are awesome.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I don't know why, but I was just never able to beat pilot wings... or f-zero... or Super Mario 2 Yoshi island. Okay I beat mario yoshi island, but I never got 100 points in every stage cause that's just way too much effort and it wasn't fun trying. Pilot Wings is too hard to control or judge perception and f-zero just seems unfair. The other cars always bop me to death, and I can never stay in the lead long enough no matter what car i picked.

 

[shadowcopalypse]

For me it was Devil May Cry (the first one) on regular difficulty ^^

 

[666nyan666]

No mention of Hollow Knight?

Never actually tried it but I hear people find it tough to finish. Everytime I think about that, i confuse it with salt & sanctuary.

I had to put it down for a while before I was actually able to beat it.

It's an amazing game, especially if you like Metroidvanias, but it's also hands down the hardest game I've played.

 

[ThoD]

No mention of Hollow Knight?

Probably because it's not hard at all, but that's just my guess Only people who find games like that hard are people who fail to understand what genre the game is in and also fail to adapt to the game's mechanics!

 

[Nikoxlas]

All Starcraft II campaigns in Brutal

 

[Hambrew]

For me... (prepare for asterisks galore)

Aspire Mine********** (Minecraft mining server. **********: Due to poor game design, I couldn't actually finish. Still got to Prestige area, so it counts to me.)

BFDIA 5b (super difficult platformer)

Battle for Ice Cube (Reddit object camp. Was cancelled, but I was never eliminated, so I win by technical forfeiture.)

Doom 2 (used PrBoom 3DS)

Mario Kart: Double Dash 50cc (Second-best Mario Kart game.)
