Let's get a list going because I'm curious. I want to know what the most common names are.

Note: Only list modes that are considered beyond the Hard mode of that game. If the highest mode is just "Hard", don't bother.



Legendary - Halo, Destiny, Skyrim
Insane - Gears of War, others?
Veteran - Call of Duty
Realistic - Rainbow Six, others?
Nightmare - Dragon Age, others?

Death March: Witcher 3 (Witcher 2 uses Insane)
Monsoon: Risk of Rain

Reallyjoel's Dad: Iji
(The hardest standard difficulty is Ultimortal, but you can unlock this one with a code. You have one health and have to kill everything in the first level in an impossible time limit to open the door at the end. It is still impossible to progress if you do this. Because games are too easy for Reallyjoel's dad.)

Anytime a game has "Realistic" as a difficulty rating, you already know the game is going to be very poorly designed and lazy. Also...

"Ultra V-Rated" - Viewtiful Joe
"Nonstop Infinite Climax Mode" - Bayonetta

Cruel Mode' in the Super Smash Bros series.

I also remember 'Mondo Tough Guy' from Arcade America.

'Crazy Hard Mode' from Rocket Knight Adventures just popped into my mind.
