Is this the hardest game of all time?

Is this the hardest game of all time?

>single-player
>hard
lmao

Not even remotely with shit like Deathtrap Dungeon, Wizardry 4, Cauldron 2, etc. around.

Dunno you ask me i beat fucking god hand on hard and shit like super meat boy 100% or dmc 3 on hard but i have yet to see the day where i can get trough those really close swinging axes in sens fortress

Yes, objectively.

It's like $5.00 on Steam right now, II is going for $13.60

You can't name a harder game. 2D games don't count.

Oblivion

There, took me half a second.

>arbitrary conditions

lol

Why not?

>all shitty DOS dungeon crawlers that require no skill, reaction, or strategy but instead require you to just learn arbitrary bullshit through trial and error
lmao

so, dark souls?

Also, 3D single player games don't count.

Gotta narrow down that definition of "video game" so I can win the argument somehow.

>Dark Souls
>DOS
nice try kid

No, because Souls requires skill, reaction, and on-the-fly strategy. Shitty DOS dungeon crawlers don't.

those games are shit

NioH is shaping up to be much harder.

I never said Teleglitch was good, I just said it was hard.

Ok let me back up a bit
Name a game harder than Dark Souls.
CONDITIONS
NO 2D GAMES
IT CAN'T BE SHIT
and nothing before 7th gen because nobody played that ancient shit
you fucking CANT

Melee oblivion without umbra or powerleveling

>DMC3 on Hard

user Must Die

Way to narrow the selection choices so that it's true.

It's like saying:

Name a food higher in potassium than a banana
CONDITIONS
MUST BE A FRUIT
MUST BE YELLOW

You fucking CAN'T

Also can't be Bloodborne because that falls under the banner of Soulsborne.

Common wrong answers:
Ninja Gaiden
DMC
MGRR
God Hand
Vanquish
any turn-based JRPG
any old shitty DOS dungeon crawler

>Let me slap as many filters on difficulty as possible

Who said DS wasn't shit?

...

nioh

Finally beat Mem Aleph.
>She has a second form that 1 hit ko'd.

Ninja Gaiden Black

Face it. Dark Souls is the hardest game in existence. I bet you couldn't even dodge this

>hardest game of all time
>conditions limited to 5% of all games ever

Let me guess, everything that isn't Dark Souls is shit.

Name a bigger faggot in this thread- his post must end with 7660. You can't

This shit is impossible

It's just a shockwave dude.

No, the original Rayman is much harder.

Yeah, sure. Other questions?

Do games with difficulties count? Because most games when played on their hardest difficulty are harder than DaS.

don't forget chess

I would argue 'no' because DaS only has normal difficulty and that is what it should be compared against.

All memes aside Battletoads is the hardest. Maybe Spelunker for the Famicom but fuck that game.

What about games with difficulty options when played on "normal" ?
Like original DMC 3

>dmc 3 on hard
Beat DMC1 on DMD and then we'll talk fag

Bloodborne is more difficult than DaS.
The vanilla story is debatable in terms of difficulty, but the DLC and chalice dungeons make the game much harder than anything in the souls games.

I'm not sure what you mean by difficulty options when on normal, but DMC3 on normal already is more difficult than DaS.

Ah nevermind I figured out what you mean, but I would say hard on SE and normal on the original.

I mean like if we consider games that have the option for higher difficulty, but we only count the game on normal. DMC 3 normal infamously being being the japanese "hard mode"

holy fuck why come to Sup Forums only to bait?

>first day on Sup Forums

>Neo Sup Forums The Post: Volume 34 Generation Z

DMC3 only ends up difficult in the beginning because you lack move variety, and attacks all hit like wet fucking noodles to promote comboing retards

>some RTS games on normal
They destroy me, I think I just suck at the genre, but if I get rushed early or constantly, I'm boned.

>Ninja Gaiden
>not harder
NG on Master Ninja is literally the hardest game ever made.

its just a steep difficulty curve compared to our usual call of duys and skyrims

dark souls puts you headfirst into a boss fight, without any real tutorial

the enemies are unrelenting, but practice makes perfect.
if you dedicate just a few hours into learning how to dodge and hit, and learn how enemies move about then the game gets much easier. and much funner

I died a shitload of times to vergil in the river. That fight took more timing and reaction than any other boss fight I have ever faced.

try out R.U.S.E.

lol. Not even harder than Souls

Play this again, it's fun as hell, but it's brutal. Especially because Nintendo does not normally make games nearly as difficult as this.

Please.

I'm sure back then Myst had a higher bought-the-game:never-finished-it ratio.

>100% SMB
>cant get through axes in sens

As someone who has actually gotten 100% on SMB, I'm going to call you out on this. If you have the timing for SMB, Sens axes are absolutely nothing.

get 1, get 2, skip 2 SotFS and get 3.

1 > BB = 3 > 2 >>>> SotFS

I started playing it for the first time today. Uninstalling it was the most fun I had with it.

there's a reason RTS is a dead genre, too hard for the fps/dota crowd

What's wrong with SotFS?

Memers don't like it.

>Trying to go through Dark Souls 3.
>It's the worst fucking Souls games of all.

It's like every single enemy is one of the mace guys from Dragon Shrine, every boss is Bed of Chaos tier of "can't see shit Sherlock" and every map is linear as fuck. Add to that that the story so far is just a rewind of DaS. How do people like this piece of garbage?

It isnt bad, as it includes all dlc, but has 1 annoying flaw of
>i know what makes a game hard
>enemies EVERYWHERE
>FUCKING EVERYWHERE
Basically, there are 3 times the amount of enemies. Isnt hard as it is annoying.
