Like what games encompass the dedication, exploration and git gud kind of game play that exemplifies Dark Souls? Obvs the last two gens have had Dark Souls.

Shadow Link

You know, I never had an issue with him and I see a lot of people say this. My issue with the water temple was that one key I just could not find as a child.

there was a game called Baroque that I heard was pretty difficult.

but the only way to regain your memory was to die.

From Soft also made the King's Field games

Basically, just don't use the master sword against him.

For me in the NES generation, it was battle toads on the nes (battlemaniacs and battle toads and double dragons was a good deal easier compared to the nes original, imo). Mind you, I was a youngin' when I first got it and beat it, but no other video game that I have ever played required as much game overs, gittin' gud, patience, and tranquil fury from me compared to it. Even stuff like dark souls and bloodborne is a walk in the park compared to some of the pixel perfect stuff you had to pull in that game.

The speed bike level is usually the one that crushes and spits out your average gamer, the slightly better ones usually get stomped at the snake pit, the really good gamers tend to fall at that either the one level where you have to swim through a bunch of pipes, dodging spikes and whatever else or rat race, etc., lol. The original ninja gaiden is a strong runner-up. You got to be on point to be dodging those damn eagles/bats towards the final stages.

For the super nintendo generation, I had the most trouble with certain jrpgs. I remember breath of fire 2 on the snes busting my ass. (I beat the gba re-release mad easy though, so I'm not sure if capcom toned some stuff down with those ports or not). I don't recall struggling at much stuff in the playstation/64 era.

For the PS2, the NA version of devil may cry 3 could get pretty rough since they bumped the difficulty up from the japanese release. I remember cerebrus fucking people up something serious back then even on normal, and agne and rudra finished off mad gamers, lol. Like someone else said, ninja gaiden on the xbox was serious business.

Dark souls isn't hard it's just a game of don't get hit. It's like playing a game at one hp the entire time where you just have to run in circles and abuse enemy ai. In the new zelda it's the same way. Take on ganon or one of the scourges with three hearts and one hit kills you.
