Deus Ex Alpha

What was yours?

I'm giving mine to trying to finish Call of Duty : World at War on veteran mode, got to the second last level, even with the 1 shot whilst hidden kills and the constant grenade spam, only to have my save data corrupt on what was probably the hardest level i'd ever played, needless to say , i've never touched it again.

God Of War 2 was pretty difficult on its hardest mode but exploits made it slighlty easier

Oh my Goodness, how was either hard?

Dodgy Game AI on COD

Hardest game to the point of no fun: Dead Rising
Hardest game without being frustrating: Super Meat Boy

It took me like 2.5 years to get all gold medals in Tony Hawk's Pro Scater for Symbian on Nokia 6600. But that killed so much time back then in school, between school and pre-university courses, queues etc so I don't regret it.

The first and the only time I played something on veteran/expert was Left 4 Dead. That day Jay invited me to his team with Clix and someone else to take Dex's place to beat the finale. I guess Left 4 Dead's expert mode is not too hard by today's gaming standards, but we all made it and it was fun.

Let's see if I can list hard experiences

Diablo 2 First enemy in Hell difficulty

I'm told the beginning of The Witcher 2's fight with the Kraken is amazing from the first second
DEMON'S SOULS

IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE LAST GAME
SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER AND PLAY THE ONLY PS3 GAME ANYONE SHOULD PLAY

Hardest videogame experience by far: playing l4d2 with Dex and James on the same team.............

surely that should be l4d1

(Root Beer) Tapper, alien stage
Sinistar
COD4 on Veteran, the level where you're in Pripyat and you have to get picked up by a helicopter
Halo 3 on Legendary solo (didn't take long, but was frustrating)

CJ following the damn train

SPY HUNTER
F-Zero GX
Tons of levels in RE: Outbreak and Outbreak 2 on Very Hard/Nightmare mode (especially Showdown 3 in Outbreak 2) good times though when I played it online with friends and we did speed runs
Joust and the pterodactyl, fuck the pterodactyl


But the hardest game experience that tops it all was playing Contra.

We didnt have as much games with dex on l4d1.

On l4d2 each time you two were on a team that was losing, it ended up in a flamewar between you two lol

OH LORD SPYHUNTER

Clix I thought it was so severe in L4D1 that we banned him from playing lol

James wrote:CJ following the damn train

OH GOD EXACTLY

that was a hell mission.

Like I said, we hardly played with dex in l4d1

My hardest video game experience is trying to learn to play deus ex again, after 3 years of not playing on a laptop :O It;s hard you know.

Oh and trying to win on Deity difficulty on Civilisation Revoloution

This is true although after like 50 tries it's not THAT hard

Hahaha, damn that was hard. I used cheats anyway!

GTA 4 trying to fly a helicopter with keyboard+mouse.

Spy Hunter. Never finished that game.
Lemmings.
Minecraft.
oh and every C&C made by EA because I cry everytime I see what they did to that beautiful game.

FFXIII: Barthandalus 1st form and third form. I didn't find the second form as difficult.

then...

FFX: Sin Jecht, and then Sin Jecht II

Hard as fuck (if you play the game at a normal pace)

Then after three solid months of consistent levelling, and obtaining god weapons, I finally beat him.



There are other games I've played that are a lot more tough, but they'll come to mind later on.




I've also began playing AC:Brotherhood today as I haven't played it yet for some bizarre reason.

THE FUCKING CANNONS NEAR THE BEGINNING TOOK ME AT LEAST 15 TIMES.

As soon as I heard "AHH NOO RELOAD THE CANNON AGGHHGGGGG!!!!! ggg..."

-WHAT THE FUCK REALLY!!??? I STILL HAVE LIKE 9 ENEMY CANNONS LEFT TO DESTROY ON THAT SIDE

neither is hard. sin jecht was also using a very static attack pattern, not hard at all. seymour 3 was definitely a harder story boss. status bosses bleeeergh

My characters were quite weak when I took a go at Jecht, I was too stubborn to level them up more, so I kept attempting him.

That's odd, I found all of Seymour's forms quite easy. Same with Omega weapon.

Also, I just remembered that elemental blob in the Guado forest.

oh I had like this game called TRIGGERMAN, it was on PS2. and damn it was hard.

The hardest for me was 'The World Hardest Game 2'. Played it a lot of times, couldn't be able to finish it.
Online : Unreal Tournament & Trackmania.
Solo : Ninja Gaiden 2 (Mentor)

Others : (When I was young <.<)

Spec Ops - Stealth Patrol
Diablo
Super Ghouls n Ghosts
Resident Evil 2 (Made me scared)
Final Fantasy 7 (Especially Emerald & Ruby)

Zelda 2 is pretty damn hard.

Resident Evil 2 was easy as shit.

Indeed, great game tho!

It was too scary for me to finish when I was young
