Most difficult game you've ever played?

[Salandrin]

A game that really tests your full limits as a gamer, and hopefully a good one, and through good design.

If anyone ever played Catherine on max difficulty........that's my opinion.

[OnlineSamantha]

Well I played Dark Souls on computer. That was pretty hard.

[Djuntas]

Maybe Donkey Kong on my Gameboy coulor, or some mario game back then. The terrible memeories off jumping to platforms/obstacels that are fucking hard...stupid controles.

Diablo3 first month, was very hard-core like but fun.

RTS games when I play online like AOE2/Warcraft III

Multiplayer game goes to wow. What does it matter if one wasen't part off 0.1%? Be it world ranked 500, 1000 or 3000, hard-mode raiding is hard.

edit: few corrections.

Skyrim with the Requiem mod. No joke.

Dragon Age on hardest difficulty. Spending 40 mins in pause/sequence mode for ever encounter.

Skyrim with the hardcore survival mods. That's fun as hell though.

[Klingers]

Super Hexagon. Or Robocop 3 on the SNES.

Probably I wanna be the on Boshy on hard and up - That took me over a year to complete with stopping and going back, I honestly just have fun with most other games regardless of their intended difficulty (E.g. Super Hexagon was hard but I enjoyed every second of it, Boshy REALLY tried my patience and took WAYYY longer to beat (last boss itself took me over 4000 deaths)).

QWOP
it's hard.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm.
No contest, there.

Well; maybe Broodwar. Broodwar was pretty hard, but it's so long ago that I've played it.

Actually yeah SC2 multiplayer is probably the hardest thing to master, but i stick with my original statement about single player games.

I really enjoyed the 'test' of Geometry Wars 2, and attaining the 'Smile' achievement.

It's a game that requires total concentration -literally if you let your self lapse into autopilot for a few seconds the achievement is over. It was nice to find a game with a simple premise that offered a challenge and one based on acute concentration.

Otherwise I'd have to say the 'hardest' game I've played... hair-pulling frustration... would be Ninja Gaiden 2 on the PS3. That game was pretty much relentless at the highest difficulties in it's challenge and unforgiving.

Some of the (solo) 'Spec Ops' in Modern Warfare 3 (Xbox 360, PS3) were incredibly challenging to pull off by your self (much easier with a buddy in two player), but like Geometry Wars 2 provided that 'acute' challenge where your skill, cool, and concentration were what saved you.

EDIT: Left 4 Dead (STEAM) @ Reality difficulty... needs a lot of concentration from all four players, was a blast back in the day !!

Pong or any other atari game at the time! no difficulty just you kept going or died, Games got faster and harder the longer you go!!

[Afrospinach]

QWOP. Yep.

Going rather far back: Inquisition on hard, just brutally difficult and unforgiving to the point of unfair/unbeatable. But I did beat it after two years...

In more recent times: Metal Gear Solid 4 guns of the patriots on big boss mode and trying not to get detected throughout the game and also not kill anybody. The first hour or so you pretty much have to do everything perfect not to be detected. After that you get the tranq. gun and it goes down to the point of only being extremely hard

Single player: Shatterhand - NES. No game ever made me want to throw my controller through the TV as much as that one.

Multiplayer: Starcraft - PC. This game takes a ridiculous amount of skill. How a joke like LoL is a more successful tournament game is beyond me.

[zera]

starcraft 2 (multiplayer ofc)
Broodwar was way way harder but I feel that was more due to some stuff that don't make sense (can't select buildings in groups worker rallies and poor ai) which did make it amazing to watch but horrible to play.

Edit: if anyone says wow and wasn't in a top 10 guild in the world I call bs

[Eyechewer]

Single player: God of War Ascension on Titan difficulty was pretty tough

Multiplayer: Torn between StarCraft and WoW

[Lancer]

Probably a tie between Super Ghost and Ghouls or DKC2.

[Austilias]

Call of Duty 4 on Veteran. The Ferris Wheel level where you're with McMillan and have to hold off the enemies until the helicopter pick up comes was absolute hell.

[zehzao]

QWOP, for sure.
