Do you know any games with really hard difficulty?
« on: February 03, 2019, 07:44:56 pm »
I find most modern games very easy. I always play on the hardest difficulty on the first play through because I want all the trophies/achievements and probably won’t replay a single player experience.

There really hasn’t been a lot of challenges this generation in my opinion.

Mass Effect Andromeda was kinda hard at points but that was only because of how bullet spongy the bosses became.

The only good example I have of challenge is Sniper Elite 3 on aithentic difficulty. That is just masochist hard on some maps. You die virtually in one hit if spotted and will be swarmed at any opportunity if noticed. I like to try to kill absolutely everyone in the level, and there are no saves on hardest difficulty.

Most of the time if a game wasn’t designed to be hard (like dark souls was) the difficulty slider just makes enemies bullet sponges and it’s really phoned in and makes the games more tedious than hard.

I hear any remastered Uncharted game on Brutal difficulty is just...hell.

First things that come to mind are the Kaizo Mario games and I Wanna Be The Guy and it's spinoffs.

For some reason, I tend to have a lot of difficulty when I play any games of the Makaimura (I never know the order or proper names of the English titles of this series... Ghosts and Goblins? Ghouls and Ghosts? It is always so confuse to me).
I don't consider myself to be particularly bad at action platformers, but I am yet to clear a game from this series...

You want hard play or emulate just about any arcade or cheap NES or SNES game ;)

Try Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, or maybe Ikaruga.

Dude, don't sweat it. Ghosts n' Goblins is an infernal pile of shit that was designed as a torture method.

In actual serious though, being killed in 2 hits in ghosts n goblins along with the many things on screen and devils make the game very difficult. It's not you it's the game.

Thanks! I wasn't expecting this kind of support.
