I'm a married man with a toddler in twins on the way, the hardest game for me is anything beyond hitting the start button
Sounds like you’d fined up for years of headache to me
@@BradBrad-ff6hqsounds like you’re a boy and he’s a man
sounds like pull out game is the hardest game for you
I have a toddler (3 years old) and twin boys (1 and a half yrs ols). My advice is getting them on a sleeping schedule with white noise and a nany cam. With time and consistency. You will succeed! Currently passing RDRD2
Mine is playing the game of trying to not drop the baby who is attempting to yeet himself on the floor as I play games while holding him lol.
"Howdy my totally tubular gamers we're back with youuu guess it anoother video" A Truly Iconic Intro 💯
u guessed it or u guess it
Cringe
A big reason why Devil May Cry 3 was so hard is because the difficulty was deliberately increased from the original Japanese release. Their Normal was our Easy, their Hard was our Normal, and so on. The Special Edition was closer to the Japanese difficulty system, making the game noticeably easier, though still no walk in the park.
Only normal mode made a difference, playing on hard-DMD is the same as the og and as far as im aware there were no noticeable balancing tweaks.
Depends on which one you played. The Original one Normal mode was like the hard mode for the American release. Then they released it in special edition which made each region equal.
I had to farm a lot in the second stage only to beat Cerberus, yeah DMC3 was no joke, but when you spend all your savings in just one game you can't chicken out. Even if I beaten DMC1 in DMD mode DMC3 was hard as ballz.
@@diegomireles Funny enough, Cerberus is actually probably the easiest boss in the game, besides the optional Jester fights. They only get harder from there.
I was there, Gandalf.
Great video. Sekiro might be my favorite game of all time. It’s just perfect.
And not nearly as hard as he makes it out to be in the video
@@notimportant8643 Sekiro is not that hard to learn, but it does take a lot of time to learn and a lot of tries on each boss. Also, it feels really hard because it's almost impossible to just jump in and actually be good at the combat.
Sekiro is not even hard lmao
@@notimportant8643he did say that "difficulty is subjective"
@notimportant8643 if you dont cheese it in any way and don't go out of your way to make the game easier, it's hard bro don't even lie. The first hours of any player are just a massacre and the game does not help at all. When you are at your lowest all you'll get is a new dragon rot notification telling you another one of your friends is about to die because of you
Im a an average gamer skill wise and Returnal took me like 10 hours to get to the second level but after putting around 50 hours into the game, I started a new game with no upgrades and was able to complete the entire game without dying. Returnal is a very well balanced game.
100% agreed about Returnal. The difficulty doesn't change as far as I remember, what changed is your skill level you got super good at it.
I loved Returnal. Your skills improve and you eventually dominate. It is perfectly balanced
Underated, it's console exclusiveness made it relatively unknown
Coincidentally Housemarque just announced a Returnal graphic novel and animated show
What do you mean by second level? The red desert area? I don’t understand how you beat the whole game in one life. The game gets much harder after Act 1 (after you defeat the final boss), with new enemies and completely new attack patterns. To be able to figure all that out on your first attemp makes you an impressive gamer, not average.
When you mentioned Toy Story 1 ( a game for "kids" that most people would think would be easy) I immediately got vietnam flashbacks of the Abe's Odyssey games on the PS1 and Lion King for the SNES and Genesis😭😭
man Abes Odyssey is a honorable mention for sure game was hard but honestly more frustrating than difficult it felt like lol
the lion king was NEVER that hard. It was challenging sure but I can breeze through that game without dying easily now
I forgot about Abes Odessy totally freaking insane.... I'm definitely putting Wipeout 2097 on my list just trying to unlock gold in latter tracks is insane when combined with the speed and speed reaction time.
The lion king was made with a hard difficulty on purpose because in that years people used to rent games and games developers were worried about lower sales,when Westwood Studios was making the lion king Disney ordered them make the second part of the game harder.
Lion King is super hard, way harder than toy story
It's just a kid's flash game, but "Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby" is infamously difficult. It just becomes insane when you reach Christopher Robin.
I seriously can’t believe you haven’t played every single video game. Casual
Thanks for putting respect on Nioh 1. Going from the base game to DLC bosses is the most insane difficult jump I've ever had.
Even end of base game Nioh was brutal for me, but yeah it's up there as the hardest game I've completed.
Thank you for your time man great video 🙏
OMGGGG I felt so validated when you put Jak 2 on here! I love difficult games, but Jak 2 has so much jank to the point where the game is just plain unfair.
Yeah I liked the game overall and got all the trophies on PS3 version but man is it frustrating and downright cheap.
Yep raged so hard at that shit when I was like 12-13 took it back to the trade in store for credit. Awful game, such a troll for young kids that think it's gonna be fun like the first one.
The final boss in JAK 3 sucked, very difficult.
This is a really fun list! Nice vid!
Crash Bandicoot 4. The purple relic time trials. That's the hardest challenge i have ever done. I stopped playing platformers for about a year after completing that challenge.
All Souls games are stupid easy compared to Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma and Ninja Gaiden II on Master Ninja
Two different types of difficult. Master Ninja difficulty is just plain unfair and unbalanced. The Souls series has the perfect difficulty balance.
@@ElGaby323its not unfair it just test how good you are enemies can die with one combo if you know how to execute it the only downside is spamming explosive shurikens
@@ElGaby323Im a huge souls fan but dont act like its perfectly balanced, there is a lot of bullshit in these games, just less than most on this list.
i took out NG1+2 on master ninja without to much difficulty. in the third one i struggled due to very limited healing. dark souls i find so easy that i dont even get hit if i put some effort into it. but BATTLETOADS and other ultra hard NES games i just cant beat them without either practicing rough parts with savestates or watching a speedrun and copying their strats.
@smoothyodaproductions4373 especially elden Ring, it's easy with summons, but when you play the right way the bosses are extremely artificially difficult for no reason, like Maliketh was artificially difficult dude was broken as all he'll
I’m so glad you mentioned Mega Man 9! The final 3 levels and THEN beating all of the bosses and THEN Dr Wily in 3 forms…it is absolutely insane.
The hardest game I have ever played in the history of gaming is The Adventures of Bayou Billy. I would go on to say that it’s actually impossible. Journey to Silius, SILVER SURFER and Ninja Gaiden (OG Xbox!) are all brutal too.
By the way, I loved the video! Great picks and I really enjoyed your commentary, very detailed with each game. Subscribed 😊
Whenever someone mentions a hard game my mind immidiately goes to the original Rayman. It's like getting you ass beat by a childrens cartoon
Great video bro
my top 10 is this:
Ghosts n Goblins Resurrection
Devil May Cry 3
Megaman 9
Donkey Kong Country 2
Sekiro
Super Mario Bros Lost Levels
Cuphead
Bayonetta
FZero GX
Spelunky 2
DMC 1 was a living headache, I went back for a 2nd playthrough, the game made me want to pull out my eyes
DMC 3 was extremely Versatile with Dante and had many ways of combo-ing, but dmc 1 was something I wouldn't even recommend
bayonetta ? on the hardest difficulty or you mean Rodin ?
That's the new ghosts and goblins right? If so i agree that shit is relentless. It's harder than any of the other ones I've played I think.
Im
Glad you never played battletoads 😅
Phantasy Star II on the genesis. Even with a guide it was a nightmare. You can't power level, the enemies scale with you, the dungeons are comically large and labrynthian. It's a miracle I completed it.
I play 1st Contra so many times as kid that I would complete game without losing 1 single life. That was like 30 years ago.
One of my favorite channels, really.
Love the deadly premunition music in the background!
If you haven't played La Mulana 1 and 2 I strongly recommend you do so. Cave story is also pretty damn difficult too. I liked and subscribed, keep up the good work sir.
Great list!! I’ve played almost all of these but most importantly you’ve confirmed you’ll do a Mega Man video someday and you also mentioned Castlevania!
Great video and list buddy
glad you added Nioh😂
Sekiro is definitely my favourite platinum I have, it is so damn rewarding
Sekiro is one of the greatest games of all time
@@Lou_Begga I 100% agree
Sekiro's plat would've been the best one... if it wasn't for that goddamn "unlock all skills" trophy/achievement. It takes forever. When I 100% the game again (played it 1st on PS4, then a 2nd time on PC) I got every achievement really fast except for that grind. Oh and getting all materials kinda sucked too. I'd say Elden Ring has the least tedious plat so far
No matter how hard Battletoads is, it’s still a blast to play.
Agreed. I've only beaten it once when I was a kid. It was a Blockbuster rental weekend and I HAD to make sure I beat it before I returned it. Thank God for Nintendo Power. Lol
@@nickparsons337I wish I was alive during that time.
@@RetroNicho Trust me; I know how lucky I am to have been alive at that time.
@@nickparsons337I was also alive. Also Battle Toads/ Double Dragon was a banger.
Having Jak 2 in the 20 spot made me smile. The battle at the docks on PS2 was crazy. And that battle with Barron Praxis is where I got stuck and quit. Good times.
I've got one harder than Battletoads. It's a shooter on the NES called Recca: Summer Carnival. It was never released outside of Japan and was never intended for mass production. It was a competition game made just for a festival in Japan. I've only been able to play it through emulation; but man, it's fucking incredible what those programmers did with the hardware. The very definition of the earliest examples of a bullet hell shooter and it was on the fucking NES. Fast paced as fuck, and even with the screen filled with enemy fire; pretty much ZERO slowdown. It's incredible. Highly recommend. (If you're a glutton for punishment.)
Great video idea man, congrats!
Difficulty was truly insane in the old era of gaming, since game design was completely different.
So here are my 2 cents from games I’ve played.
I don’t know the hardest game I ever played because I played too many classic games, like Splatterhouse and Battletoads.
I also loved Arcade games, and House of the Dead 2 gets a mention from me. The fire-rate requiered to play well is something that most people can’t achieve. No wonder internet people play with a mouse instead of a light gun with auto-reload.
When it comes to popular games, Resident Evil Code Veronica is the hardest one of that series. DMC1 is the hardest one from that one since Gold orbs weren’t that but rather Yellow, so if you didn’t know strategies, ran out of items, and lacked gaming skills/brains to load a save if you messed up. You could be stuck on a guaranteed D rank save that will force you to play the entire level once you die.
Souls-likes are overrated on the difficulty topic IMO, but Nioh 1 has to be the hardest if you aren’t paying attention. On the late game there are too many “duo fights” and gauntlets. They are great if you manage to create a build, but hell on earth if you are going with a character that dies in 1 hit.
I think there are different sorts of difficulties. As far as a lot of older games goes, the difficulty comes from inexperience and not being developed well enough imo. Limitations in control and more. You'll find very few older games that are balanced and fair when it comes to SUPER difficulty. That's what games like the Souls series, Nioh and more do well. It's quite fair in the difficulty scaling. It's meant to challenge you, but also give you the right tools to advance forward if you use them correctly.
Technically speaking Nioh doesn’t start to get hard until you reach “Way of the Demon” or NG++ only because by then….
- every enemy does a gazillion damage stacked with modifiers
- armor and weapons don’t drop the recommended level
- to get stronger you have literally farm for new armor and weapons
- beating the final boss of nioh requires a beefy build.
On the other hand nioh can be super easy like im telling you, the easiest way to beat nioh on your FIRST playthrough is the following
- onmyo magic: sloth, weakness, elemental talisman, and kekkai (onmyo magic just makes the game braindead easy)
- guardian spirit (you are literally invincible until you run out)
- ninjutsu (has stunlock builds)
- armor and weapons at EVERY LEVEL drop the recommended gear. So you don’t have to farm or grind for armor
- Spears, Odachis, and Kusarigama (poking game)
@@juanpabloduarte2001 have you heard about how not everybody uses guides at first Playthrough like a casual?
Nioh is very old now. Everything has been figured out.
When I played many years ago, I didn’t know about leveling and equipment levels.
So I basically played NG with constant 1 shot deaths.
But I learned all movesets thanks to that and every single NG+ was a joke. Even way of the Nioh’s enemy repositioning.
Saying you need builds at NG+ whatever sound more like you turned the game into a RPG experience instead of the classic Souls of perfect dodging and not being an Estus chugger.
@@juanpabloduarte2001 and my point stands. The difficulty of Nioh 1 is the gank fights. Look at raw game designs Nioh 2 was full of 1v1’s in comparison.
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is the hardest game I have ever played. You can't even compare the original to it. I finished the original in the arcade paying quarters. The new one is just impossible for me.
for ikaruga, see the person playing 2-player through the arcade version controlling both ships, one with each hand. sheer lunacy
I remember as a kid renting Battletoads from Pharmor, if I recall (pretty sure they had video games to rent, or maybe it was a different place NOT called Blockbuster). Like the AVGN used to say, the rented game was our entire weekend once chores & HW were done. We never beat the turbo tunnel. Endless attempts, but no success. We eventually beat Super Ghouls n Ghosts but never Battletoads. We kept replaying the first 3 levels because it was fun, but the tunnel was the endgame.
Cuphead is the one video game that broke me
It’s a great game, modern classic but I fucking hate it and I earned that right
just platniumed it i honestly dont undertsand i dont play diffcult games and it wasnt all that as soon as you learn the moves thats about it and the bosses are short so you dont lose alot of progress when you die that said i died a 1010 times lol
@@Yehya-rc1sm the game just isn’t tailored to my liking
I’m not saying the game is bad, I just really, really don’t like it
And I specifically mean the gameplay, the visuals are great and the characters and story are charming
@@kruegerpoolthe13th everyone has a type
@@Yehya-rc1sm exactly
That video was straight cement 🙏
NINJA GAIDEN BLACK is one of the very few games I've beaten multiple times. The very first run through I struggled mid-game with Alma - I wanted to throw the controller multiple times. Then one Saturday I repeatedly tried to beat her taking long breaks after multiple attempts and about 8 hours later, VICTORY. I was stunned. Fast forward to the last time I faced Alma (a while ago) and I beat her without her touching me ONCE. :-) Though I have to say, I would not have the patience to get that good today.
Jak II is the only Jak game I have played. It made me cry as a kid almost everyday. Racing missions like you mentioned felt unfair.
Man...i loved this video. I remember playing Battletoads on my sega when i was like younger than 10 years old....never got past the secobd stage.
YOOOO, super glad to hear Darksiders be mentioned at the DMC3 segment in this video :D love that series!
And i'm hearing that Sheep, Dog 'n Wolf/Sheep Raider OST playing during that segment.
Where it concerns games in that genre, i can heartily recommend Soulstice by Reply Game Studios from 2022! One of my favourites in the entire genre with a lot to offer, some shortcomings notwithstanding. *Lot* to offer on gameplay, mechanics, world and characters.
The upcoming Genokids, Enenra, Yasuke: A Lost Descendant and Gori: Cuddly Carnage are looking interesting too. Honorary shout to No Straight Roads from 2020. Not *exactly* in the same genre, much shorter and boss-centric, but full of style, character, personality and a big, big love for music. (All bosses have at least five versions of their boss themes: Base, EDM, Rock, Christmas version and Encore Edition remix).
I totally agree with the number one, you have choose of the 20 Hardest Games Of All Time that you, and also i have played.
I play video games since 1986, and i have finished every game i wanted to finish, including most of the games on your list (there are some, i didn´t played Cuphead, Returnal and Super Meat Boy), but in those 38 years of playing video games, i was never able to finish Battletoads on the NES or Super Nintendo.
I was hoping that with the rewind feature in Rare Replay, it will be easy to finish it but still no success in this case.
At least Battletoads Arcade has unlimited lives and continues, otherwise i don´t think i could finish this game either.
I literally quit on Castlevania 3 because every time I tried to get off the stairs I would just plummet.
Great list, I also remembered a brutally difficult game if you want the true ending: Volgarr the Viking. An indie game from 2013. Even if the game has 5-6 levels I think you must not die on any of them and beat the final boss to get the true ending. You die in max 3-4 hits and lose pieces of your armor like in the Ghouls games. Have fun! 😆
i never really thought about it, but its nice to know i've beaten what people consider the hardest games.
having beaten a fair bit of the games in this list, you should check out God Hand for the ps2. its not as hard as shattered soldier or anything, but it has to be one of the hardest ps2 games out there
Great list! I've never beaten the turbo tunnel of Battle Toads and have no idea what the other levels look like. 😂 Nioh was way too difficult for me. I gave up on that one.
My list would be ALL NES games
Have you played many smt games? If so were any of the games close to making this list? Great vid though, keep up the great work!
I struggled and never progressed in Cuphead, that game is insane. Just when you think you/re getting good at it....
Spent a whole 2 weeks on and off working on getting the platinum trophy. Probably the hardest plat difficulty wise that I’ve ever done. There are much long and tedious plats but this is easily the worst difficulty wise.
I beat it in a day after seeing some videos of it on RUclips. Pretty harsh and occasionally super annoying, but I think people call the game way harder than it actually is
Skill issue. Cuphead is too fair and well-balanced game to be called "one of the hardest of all time"
Im a very casual gamer but i beat cuphead in one sitting somehow
I have Cuphead on my switch but not played it too much due to it's difficulty but there's one game that broke me SO MUCH It's a soulslike Metroidvania called Grimvalor it's the soulslike game that broke me because of the ancient beast in shattered rift it's probably one of the hardest enemies in any game I ever played
After a shit day at work, this was exactly what I needed, new subscriber here. Absolutely fantastic list, very entertaining sir awesome
Some of the guardian moves and casting slow on some of the harder bosses was a lifesaver on my way to the Nioh plat!
Hardest gaming challenge I've ever done is to get gold on the 3rd Ayrton Senna race on Gran Turismo 5. It's at Brands Hatch in the Lotus 98T F1 car. You have to beat his record breaking qualifying lap time which I think is the lap record to this day. It took me hundreds of attempts to beat it. You get a silver trophy for beating all 3 of the challenges with gold. By the time I finished I was an absolute pro with that car on that game. I used to go into pen lobbies and was doing doughnuts in it all over the place. If I can do that I think I can do anything!!!! You can look up his lap on YT. It's well worth a watch and shows why Senna is the GOAT.
Don't the rules make the cars less powerful nowadays?
@@liamconverse8950They technically might be similar power overall. The way that the power is created is different. The cars back then were out and out animals. With the Lotus you have a ton of turbo. It affects the way the car handles. Until you can learn about when and where the power is going to kick in through the turbo the car is a nightmare to drive. Once you get the feeling for it to the point where you are basically used to it you can master that car but it takes alit of practice. I was on the pad back then so not sure how it would be with a wheel. Nowadays the cars are more stable and predictable so way easier to drive. Got to give credit to Polyphony for the work they did on getting that car right though. Like most people I've never had the chance to drive a real F1 car from the turbo era but if I had to guess they done well making the video game equivalent and I would guess the handling model for that car is about as close as you can get to the realistic thing.
Wow I did not expect jak II to make the list, and I'm so glad you put it in, I thought I would see just fromsoftware games and ints clones, Jak II is so good and yeah it is hard
Hi man, your video is very good.
I do have a question: my first souls game was Sekiro and I completed it through the difficult ending. It took me tones of hours and effort. The most difficult game of my life. Then i went through Darks Souls games, ER, Lies of P... They are difficult but not as challenging as Sekiro. Question is... Will I suffer a lot when playing Nioh?
no nioh isn’t hard lmaoo compared to any other souls game lol idk why this guy finds nioh hard
Amazing video!
What is the name of the song played on background for mario lost levels? sounds like something from nintendo.
it is the Mario Kart wii menu theme!
Def a thumbs up 🙂 Nice to know that someone else consider some games Ive played as hard too 😉
I do remember beating Jak 2 as a kid with cheats on which is a testament to how hard it was. Out of the games here that I've played, Nioh 1 edges out Sekiro for difficulty. Isshin the Sword Saint took the most attempts out of any fromsoftware boss, but Nioh's combination of Date Masamune and Maria really gave me a hard time. Only reason I beat Maria was cause she glitched into the wall otherwise I wouldn't have beaten her ever.
Not ever eventually you would have beated her. it will only took longer thats all. Isshin was indeed one of the all time hardest bosses ever!
On my first playthru, when i encountered isshin i spent like 70+ tries in one sitting and couldnt defeat him, then month later i decided to try again and beat him in 2 tries.... Underwhelming
I mean you are including the dlc there. I’m pretty confident Nioh 1s dlc is the hardest action rpg content I’ve ever played. Still think for the average person Nioh 1 is the hardest souls like game and action rpg. I also think it’s harder than sekiro. I actually think it’s harder than any other team ninja game on the normal difficulty.
Although xcom is relentless and beats you down, those moments of glory with an incredibly well put together ambush and the rng gods in your favour feel truly satisfying.
Cement. What’s the song in the background during 10. Nioh?
I love how you pronounce a word one way and literally two seconds later you pronounce it another lol. Gaiden and Gayden, Sekiro and Sekeero 😁
I feel validated with Jak too. It was so hard I gave up on gaming as a kid, because I thought I didn't have the skills to game. It wasn't until 2018 that I tried again. Cement.
Ninja Gaiden Black is only hard on the hardest levels. I think most people should be able to beat it on its lowest levels with practice.
Some honorable mention titles:
Hollow Knight
Shovel Knight
Deadcells
Hades
Celeste
SIFU
Flappy Bird
Takeshi's Challenge
Well... my opinions.
I actually got Sekiro's platinum earlier this year and while it was incredibly hard it was also so much fun.
lol it took me 4 hours of grinding to beat the final boss ishin the sword saint in sekiro . i legit screamed i was so pumped to beat him lmao, ill never forget that feeling - so satisfying.
The boss fights are so satisfying 10/10 - played it after elden ring and maybe loved it even more than elden ring
DMC3 is so easy. It’s super exploitable, I have every edition of the game and bought the first release at launch. It’s DMC1 on steroids. Beat DMC1 and you will learn how you’re supposed to play it. There’s so many invincibility frames in the dodge roll, jump, and with trickster’s dash.
even kindergarten kids can finish dm3😂
Once you said jack too I knew exactly which level you were going to mention 😂😂
I'm a little too old and slow to play most of these, though I still try (and fail, mostly) at Dark Souls, Sekiro and Cuphead. I am currently trying for a legendary playthrough of Xcom 2 WotC. This is my fourth attempt and I can testify to it's mind numbing difficulty. A couple of honorary mentions for you masochists out there. For strategy the Pathfinder games, particularly Wrath of the Righteous. And for you action junkies try any or all of the Serious Sam games. Good vid
Boss fights in snk fighting games…. Legendary
Geese Howard in the OG Fatal Fury can bite me
I played Ikaruga on the Gamecube and loved it. Great list here. Played F-Zero GX too. I pretty much 100% completed that game and yeah the tougher difficulties get ridiculous. You basically need to take out the other racers in the top 3 to have a chance to win.
I’ve beaten a lot of hard games, but Battletoads is just something else. As a kid I beat the turbo tunnel maybe once or twice but when you die after that in the next stage and realize you have to do that again… the only game in my 37 years alive I just straight up gave up trying, not out of lack of interest but pure hopelessness.
The way you perceive difficulty really depends on whether you like the game itself or not. I've beaten all the Souls games multiple times (Nioh included) and they sure were difficult but I never stopped having fun with them. On the contrary is the game Returnal. I absolutely hated the difficulty and couldn't force myself to play it any longer after suffering 8 hours on the first level but that's because I was just not enjoying the game itself, it's gameplay mechanics just aren't fun for me
I felt so accomplished when finally beat Returnal.
Off the top of my head Heart of Darkness on the PS1 and Split/Second on Xbox 360. The rubberbanding on S/S is insane
Battletoads 😢 I also first played it on Rare Replay. Never finished the game but man I can't imagine the 90s where you and your school friends cannot beat the turbo tunnel to even see the rest of the game 😮
Watch Bootsy (Cinemassacre/Angry Video Game Nerd) play Battletoads and beaten it.
Oh , I had a copy of battletoads as a kid, played it many many many times when I was 10-12. I once made it to the final boss, only once.
Playing games such as:
Battletoads
Bucky o hare
Willow
Contra
Guardian legend
TMNT 1
Double dragon 3
All back in the mid 90’s with no help or guides/internet and being 10-11 years old is about as hard as it can get.
Great times with friends trying to figure it out!!!!
Now try Sekiro with the Long May the Shadows Reflect Mod for even more brutal difficulty, as well as the Resurrection mod, another difficulty mod! Both add mini bosses I believe, enemies, and more!
I think the rat race and airplane level in Battletoads are by far more difficult than level 3. I’ll get back into Battletoads and master it sometime. Sekiro was a fun one.
hey bro, would you do a video ranking your 10/20 favourite games? big love from the UK ❤
well I love the UK! And man one day I might do like a top 50 haha
@@TotallyTubularJonathan dat'd be sick
Dude Jak 2 is brutal. That mission where you are on the docks and all the ships come down dropping a million dudes. Ninja Gaiden always jumps forward for me. The first boss is insane. That idiot with the nunchucks. A couple newer ones that I played recently that killed me were the first ghost runner and nioh 2. The underwater level in returnal was pretty brutal as well. Donkey kong country 3 is a killer also
The dock mission in Jak 2 is a cakewalk if you do the upward punch all the way through.
Sounds crazy, I know, but I tried it myself. Got through the whole thing without incident by just using the upward punch maneuver.
I'm proud to say I beat F Zero GX on Very Hard and have the full roster unlocked :)
It took me a total of 2 years to beat it.
Same
Took me some weeks tho
Try Downwell. Amazing game. One of my proudest platinum trophies.
I remember the underwater, bomb disarming level from TMNT on the NES being pretty hard. But I cant judge the difficulty of the entire game because we only beat it once or twice without enough lives or continues left to get much further.
43:00 Yaiba has to be my most challenging platinum trophy on PS! It surpasses anything I had to do in Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring. The only platinum I didn't have the patience to get was Demons Souls plat.😢
I really enjoyed playing Maximo 1&2 Back then in early 2000's.
Sweet, Maximo being mentioned!
Sekiro is my favorite FromSoftware game but it's also one of the easiest for me. The game is essentially a Dexterity build, which is normally how I play Souls games, and it's completely tailored to the style, which makes it a walk in the park.
You can make a list with 20 fighting games from the 90's and it would hold up.
this channel is criminally underrated and FOR WHAT RUclips?? FOR WHATT
Same
Still remember Andy Bogard was S tier with his charge move in Fatal Fury 1. Nobody could beat him from the ai. EVERY other character didn't have that 1 move you could abuse. Special mention to Xmen Psylocke.
Saw Battletoads in the intro and IMMEDIATELY had Vietnam flashbacks
Sekiro is truly one of the smoothest and hardest games ever. Beat it 4 times for the 4 endings, and it is so damn rewarding!
If you crave for more Contra i recommend playing Hard Corps Uprising although not as hard its still super fun
Its in my 25 most loved game
HC Uprising is amazing
Dude i kept watching it going through the list and was like this man ain’t played battle toads. Then i got to the end and laughed and was like yep
"Cement" The only game I wasn't expecting was DMC. I played it like 2 years ago but didn't really find it that difficult (I played it on devil hunter the first time). It wasn't the combat that made it difficult for me but the navigation in some levels. I was lost for like hours in one area.
I never see someone comenting this but in the speeders levels in battletoads I would always spam pause buton as fast as I could, this not only was helpful to see what obstacle cones up but for some reason it will fill up all your hearts. Anyoneelse did this?
Bro, Toy story on the genesis
Holy crap
So absurdly hard
Kaiser knuckles I think is called like that is a Taito fighting game that has one of the hardest boss fight ever.
Tubular do you like games from Taito?they are quiet good and dam hard
You're not alone on thinking Toy Story is really hard. The Lion King is also a low key ball-buster.
Although I've beaten Cuphead and Ninja Gaiden 2 legit, I had to resort to marginally easier Japanese versions to beat Castlevania III and Battletoads
Hellfire for the Sega Genesis is my favorite hard game. I play it every year and it beats my "asu" each time. Still, I love to play it.
Honorable mention for me: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Adventure Mode. Still can't beat it for the last trophy. You need to have perfect runs and luck on your side to clear all maps in the last round of levels. It reminds me of how you were describing F-Zero. The game just decides to randomly let you win and you move on. It's frustrating and annoying but also addictive since you come seconds close to beating it every time until it finally just let's you win. It's a game I have to quit and come back to like I had to with the gold spheres from Sonic Mania!!!!
Sifu, hollow knight and jump king are good contenders as well 👍
Sifu is the hardest game I’ve ever played. I couldn’t beat on master difficulty. Maybe my broken AC and hot weather at the time played a role, but even disciple difficulty made me feel physically ill.
I hated Hollow Knight, but it’s definitely a great game that deserves to be on this list.
