Many of us here love playing video games. From RPGs to FPSs, new games are released every year. But nowadays, a lot of games are just too plain easy, and it seems games are made not for us die hard gamers, but for the money they'll make. Games nowadays seem to do nothing but hold your hand and guide you through every step of the game!
But, there are games that are truly difficult! Games that make you swear, throw your controller down, and shake your fist at God when you just can't figure the puzzle out, or when that damned boss hit you and took your last heart away, because either the game is just cheap or God is conspiring against you!
What are some difficult games you've played over your lifetime, or have seen played? And why?
My list (in no order of difficulty) is as follows:
1) Zelda CD-i games. While speaking of these games is in fact forbidden by the gaming Gods, and playing them for eternity is the equivalent of going to hell, these games can prove to be difficult. A friend played it, and in order to progress, you (as Zelda), need to go to the second half of a town. However, for some obscure and never explained reason, you must go to the second floor of a house, and jump out a window to get to the second half of town. Not only are you given not a single hint, but ever house has the same bloody window as well!
2) Fire Emblem Series. I just started playing, in fact (having installed several emulators and a ton of ROMs on my PSP), and that game requires utter cautiousness. If a unit EVER hits 0 HP, they're gone for good, and can never be revived. I lost my beautiful Pegasus Knight within the first 15 minutes of having her, because I didn't know death was permanent... >.<
3) Zelda 2. Arguably THE hardest Legend of Zelda game. EVER. Die, and you lose all your EXP. Points (but your levels won't go down), and you're instantly sent back all the way to Northern Palace! And until you figure out the secret to killing Iron Knuckles, you're screwed!
Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg! Now share your list and experiences with it!!! DO IT!!!
