Doom Eternal Nightmare Mode

Celeste I don't play a lot of precision platformers that's probably why, but still a fun game

i don't know if this is necessarily the *hardest* game i've beaten, but the first one that comes to mind is Little Witch Nobeta which i sadly ended up not really liking that much outside of a couple of things, like the story and a couple of bosses during the endgame stretch was really interesting, and Nobeta herself (and a certain other character)

hollow knight. I didn't enjoy it. incredibly hard to play on laptop's keyboard

>>290 I love hornet...

Ninja Gaiden 3

>>285 Darkest Dungeon and Noita Mainly because a lot of the difficulty comes from the roll of the dice

>>291 Would you do it to hornet?

Wait.. you guys complete games?? My playing list is almost as big as my backlog

>>446 Not very often since I can get easily bored with a game after a while. The more challenging games are the ones I finish usually for the achievement My recent accomplishment is Celeste

>>446 i always try to beat one game before starting another. the trick is to avoid online/live service games (and also try to cut down on things like using the internet)

>>285 Imperishable night (Touhou 8), specifically because of stage 6A's final spell card. It took me way more attempts to clear that one spell card than all of stage 6B.

I don't know if this is embarrassing to say but the hardest game I beat without any difficulty options was probably GTA 3. I played the PS2 version and it controls like Max Payne with OoT controls and no bullet time. Tons of missions past the first quarter of the game 100% weren't playtested by anyone, and usually rely too much on trial and error, have horrible time limits, or both at the same time. Walkthroughs just barely make the game easier. I've heard people say that San Andreas is harder purely because of the train mission, but I'm blaming that on the PC port being half-assed since I've never failed that on PS2.

>>285 after months, i finally beat No More Heroes 2 on the hardest difficulty! ...paradoxically, even on bitter, this game wasn't super hard to me, it was literally just one phase of the final boss that i was stuck on for months. the frustration of that one boss was almost not worth beating the game, but also the fun i had with everything else outweighs that.

>>285 Recently I've 100% Elden Ring I'd say it was the hardest Souls game I've played so far (and I've finished all the Dark Souls), mainly due to its different approach and mechanics, which I was not used to, but the easiest to get all the achievements in Now I'm playing Tears of the Kingdom in my Steam Deck

>>623 Agreed. I'm playing it for the first time with a friend and we're slowly going through 100% completion. Even some of the missions are a headache to get through, not considering the tedium of 100%.

One's have had to retry bosses the most are ds3 and the trails of cold steel series. Trails could be hard but always had room to try different strategies, was very satisfying to figure one out that finally worked. DS3 when you lost it would happen quickly but in a jrpg where boss battles can go 30 minutes - an hour losing towards the end hurts much more, esp when you realize you were just stupid/confident.

It was probably soloing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate's G-Rank. There were certain fights that were dogshit but the game was mostly fun and felt rewarding when beating tough quests. That was until G3, where everything was just artificially difficult (the only exception being Chameleos). Everything would just 1 tap you and Gog was just a giant damage sponge that was obviously not intended to be soloed.

>>639 Sekiro makes elden ring look like hello kitty island adventure

>>1823 Sekiro was only hard for me because I refused to learn. Deflecting isnt the same as blocking and it took me too long to learn that. I also beat Isshin in maybe 3 real attempts. I will say I did have to fight Owl Father and the Demon of hatred about 10 times each though

Been playing any hard games hikarins? I completed ninja gaiden good doggy for mommy, and super mario bros recently, although with super mario bros, it was on the gameboy with save states (bit crushed screen though).

>>1951 I didn't type good doggy for mommy next to ninja gaiden, WTF?! I CAN'T DELETE THE POST EITHER!

>>1951 So are you a good doggy for mommy?

>>1953 I'm legit fucking scared. Cause this can't be a mod editing the post, it happened instantly.

ASD DSC shadow good doggy for mommy good doggy for mommy plus

The word is s1gma jej

>>1951 good doggy for mommy.

>>1956 S!gma

>>1956 Oh I'm a fucking idiot, I forgot I typed s!gma, or good doggy for mommy. I literally thought my PC got hacked!

>>285 I have never really played a game that's considered hard, but I did 100% completion on super mario odissey and the hidden levels were kinda hard

Genuinely not sure. Maybe it's the Bloodborne DLC for Child of Kos, or DS1 DLC for Kalameet (in retrospect it's not so difficult, killing off Nightreign bosses when you're the last alive in the team AND you're underleveled is more difficult), maybe it's 100%'ing Armored Core For Answer. I don't bother to remember difficult games if I didn't particularly liked them. Carnage Heart EXA is definitely difficult for the average gamer, but not for someone who'd enjoy that type of game, for example. Some of the most difficult challenges are exactly either PVP or retrying a whole mission or a stage until RNG favors me. Some other supposedly difficult games are just trivial with the right playstyle and habits.

There's a bit of a story about that. When I was young and gaming magazines had CDs with usually a full game or a bunch of tiny freeware stuff, one of them had this game on it called Revenge of The Robot Cats from Mars. It was just your average Space Invaders clone but it kicked my ass repeatedly to the point it stuck with me. Every couple years I kept suddenly remembering and then coming back to it just to give it another go, and I'd get a little further into it every time. Until about two years ago when I almost got past the second boss (we both got killed lol) and decided I'm going to grind this until I've beaten it. For a couple days I was playing nothing but this thing, but eventually I got past the second boss (recolor of the first boss), managed to fight my way through the third set of stages and eventually beat the final boss too (who was also a recolor of the other two), and then the game just put me back to Stage 1. Anti-climatic? Yes. But it feels good I finally crossed it off my list.
