Darkest Dungeon is the best one I can think of

It's hard to think of anything since most games don't seem that hard by the time I've beaten them lol

F-Zero GX Story Mode on Very Hard. Been a while since I played a super challenging game without giving up (or at least, without giving up after beating the main game rather than doing all the hard optional content).

I dunno, but I'm sure it was something I did ages ago when I was 13 because games were harder then and I was more willing to beat my head against a wall until I won. Contra, maybe?

Conan on the NES. There was this one stage where it was unclear what you needed to do to kill the bad guys, and GameFAQs wasn't a thing back then. It took me a couple of years to figure it out (you had to do jump kicks, which in every other situation was entirely useless; also, position it wrong and you fall to an insta-death).

I got all rainbow medals in Action Henk, which puts me in the top 1.1% of all players who have played the game.

Funnily enough only 1.8% of players have the achievement for getting all bronze medals. Not because getting bronze is hard, but because unlocking the final world requires clearing the world before it, and that task is considered too difficult for the average player. So they don't even have all levels unlocked in order to get a bronze on them.

I need to go back and finish Super Meat Boy at some point. I'm on world...5, I think? My wife can't even watch me play it because the difficulty stresses her out just watching it.

As far as hard games, maybe Lost Levels? I don't play games on hard settings, so I'm trying to think of stuff that's just hard on its own.

Elemental Gearbolt (using the standard PS1 controller, not the light gun) was probably the one I would consider the hardest for me to beat, though I think some others I've beaten would be considered harder than this.

IIRC there is a part where you have an extremely high chance of dying after a scene before even being able to control Nathan lol

I'm not really sure what my answer would be. I know some people think beating Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled on hard is difficult, but I don't have too much trouble with it so I'm not sure if I count that.

While I cant say for sure what the absolute hardest game was, Evil Within on AKUMU mode was up there.

Also known as one hit kill mode. I gave up for 3 years due to the Cabin siege section in Chapter 6.

Also a shout out to getting 10 Stars in Silent Hill 2

You are correct! Its the final chapter fortunately, this occurs relatively near the start of a checkpoint. Although you can die before you even get a chance to play, thats not the worst part of Uncharted 1 on Brutal. There are a few memorably difficult checkpoints, and I probably failed one part close to 100 times before I finally got past it.

This is probably mine too. This or Viewtiful Joe on Ultra V-Rated.

For the most recent one it's Halo 5 on Legendary. Last fight with Warden Eternal took me like 5 hours I think. Why I did that to myself, I'll never know.

Probably the F-Zero games. In particular, X.

I personally consider X to be harder than GX, particularly Joker Cup Master compared to Diamond Cup Master. Big hand is a true fuck-off track. (Though, tbf, X has bullshit tracks on every cup-- High Jump is actual cheating AI B.S. and doesn't act anything like Aero Dive, Dangerous Steps is probably the hardest track in X, and is much harder than anything GX has (even Cosmo Terminal, but Cosmo Terminal is actually pretty easy once you get used to it; ditto with Slim Line Slits) X's Half Pipe is also a bullshit track and actually hard to deal with, unlike GX's. and so is Sector B. Yeah, X has Rainbow Psychedelic Experience which is a free win, but that's 1 out of 6 being a freebie. GX has Undulation and Dragon Slope, both of which are basically Ruby Cup tracks that somehow wound up in Diamond.

X cup probably doesn't count, but X cup master definitely can be harder than anything GX throws your way [where as the X equivalent in GX is the AX cup, which is even easier than Ruby cup.

X has a rougher physics engine, that while, sure, you're less prone to wall-bouncing, still blows ass, and tends to launch you into the air for no goddamn reason, like on High Speed [where if you live up to the track's name, you will die.]

I'll give Story Mode credit where Credit's due, Staff Ghosts are the hardest thing in either F-Zero and VH Chapter 9 pits you against a legitimate Staff Ghost on a unpracticiable track. But on that note, speaking of Staff Ghosts, X still wins there. God damn they're hard.
