Thread 11965138

This was absolute hell. Your regular attacks barely do any damage, and specials are impossible to pull off with any consistency. I won't ever play it again.

I beat DMC1-3 as a kid but now my hands are too fucked up and slow and imprecise due to working that I can't beat the first boss of 1 no matter how many times I retry.

How old are you and what do you do?

mgs2 european extreme
ninja gaiden xbox on the hardest difficulty

You're supposed to use negative edge in SF1, in case you weren't aware.

>>11965162
even doing that it's difficult to do a shoryuken

>>11965138 (OP)
Either SMB2J or Plok, both are a solid tie in terms of difficulty.

>>11965138 (OP)
Getting all platinums in Blast Corps was a major achievement at the time. I've probably done harder stuff but that was one where I felt the greatest sense of achievement.

>>11965313
I felt a similar sense of achievement when playing Gunstar Heroes. (However, I ended up liking the GG version a bit more because it skips the Dice Palace entirely.)

>>11965138 (OP)
I've beaten Final Fantasy III, Shin Megami Tensei I and II and Altered Beast

>>11965138 (OP)
1cc street fighter 2010 the final fight, bit I did it on a Wii. I've been playing on a real console trying to do it again, but fuck me. You basically have to not get hit ever. Luckily, fully powered up, you're an absolute unit. That and zombies ate my neighbors. I don't care what anybody says, zamn gets hard as balls in the later stages. It's all about rng though

>>11965138 (OP)
Kid Chameleon. I beat the last quarter of the game on my first attempt, too. Gradius, Punch-Out!!, and Double Dragon 1 (all on NES) are also definitely up there.

>>11965330
Shin Megami 1 and 2 are supposed to be hard? They're piss easy.

>>11965345
Oh god, that game is literal hell! The fact that it had invisible blocks meant to troll you long before Kaizo is especially evil.

>>11965138 (OP)
Castlevania 3 JP version
I'm absolutely terrible at video games, so I still don't know how the fuck I did it. I think the Doppelganger stage alone took me about a week to get through.

>>11965138 (OP)
Fucking pic related. Your only hope is to inch forward ever so carefully and have the reaction time of an abused housewife.
I won't do that that again because it's too stressful.

>>11965138 (OP)
I had to use save states when I played through it (didn't beat it) and I admire anyone who can endure that game. How Capcom allowed a sequel to be made is beyond me.

This anon knows. I find getting the bazooka in the first stage and thus getting access to the hidden stage ends up helping out,(and that's random) but you need to be fairly accurate against those gigantic spiders, and there's a few mazes that drove me nuts a few times and caused me to game over. I find that the final boss was tough, but at least you can fall back and eventually win, but make no mistake, you're right. That game is a bastard in terms of difficulty. Love it though. Beaten in only twice in all these years and never back in the day.

Adventure Island
1943

Kung Fu Heroes was pretty hard too. Some people claim Starship Hector is hard but it really wasn't on the level of 1943

>Your regular attacks barely do any damage
hit the buttons harder bro

This game with all the bonus worlds. The SNES version is 100 times easier
Valis IV for PCE was brutally difficult for me
Siren for the PS2, all archives collected

>>11965816
>The SNES version is 100 times easier
If you thought the SNES version was easy, just you wait until you see the GBC version.

Dracula's Curse is sickeningly hard, but I beat without save states a good few years ago.
I tried replaying it recently and I quit at stage 9, it's so fucking frustrating I don't understand how I did it back then.

>>11965313
I got 1. Just 1. On the first level. Said "Fuck this gay noise" and just noped out of the rest.
If memory serves, it's the devs/playtesters best times for those platinums.

Gran Turismo Licences.
Batman on the Nes.
Punchout (Mr Dream version)
Jurassic Park Genesis.
They are all the hair pulling games I remember.

>>11965330
Same.
Though I found only FF 3 hard. SMTs were relatively easy. Barring one dungeon.

>>11965348
I dunno. Heroine's Mind was a hellscape.

>>11965968
Forgot pic.
Luckily I was a kid back then and found the Bahamut dungeon a good place to grind so the last 3 dungeons werent as grueling as they could be.

Retro hard game, not really sure. I'm not a big NES/SNES generation gamer.

I did beat Driver on PS1, 100% legit, and it was a hell of a rush. Great game, recommend it highly.

>>11965138 (OP)
I can understand that it's difficult but that seems to be down to how bad it plays, not that they made a challenging game.

>>11965313
props. i attempted to do that once but didnt get very far before realizing i did not have the skill/patience
>try something else

>>11966038
The tutorial filtered me.

F zero snes all cups in master.
Wizardry 1+2+3 snes was tough too.
Rayman on saturn was a pain to finish.
In arcade/coin op : Viewpoint neo geo 1cc mvs difficulty. It took me years but what a game! <3

Ghosts and Goblins.
No save states.
I have suffered.

Hard Corps, Alien Soldier, and I suppose getting all the golds in GT3 and 4

>>11966356
Clever jumpcut.

>>11966356
real?

>>11966356
@grok is this real?

street fighter 1, god hand

>>11965330
Reminds me of the Yellow Bastard from Sin City.

>>11967024
It's fake, I went out of my way to try it.

>>11967024
It's real, you went out of your way to try it.

>>11966212
It's not a tutorial. It's the first mission.
If you want a "tutorial" you pick "training" from the main menu. There's a video there showing you what to do in the parking lot.

>>11965138 (OP)
Crash Bandicoot (PlayStation) 100%

>>11965313
That fucking stage with the bike where you have to shoot missiles wasn't that bad but for plat it was by far the hardest one in the game.

>>11965138 (OP)
None.

>>11965138 (OP)
Probably Castlevania 3 JP or Contra
I beat Ninja Gaiden too but I used save states for the 2nd to last boss because I couldn't figure out WTF to do
