I Wanna Be The Guy (and any game in the series)
Seriously, I don't think any of you guys have a game harder than these. Granted, it boils down to memorization, but that doesn't mean it isn't hard as all hell.
I only remember having problems around the end of Zelda 2 but otherwise I finished that game.
Since this is listed in PC gaming, I'm going to say Diablo 3: Immense amount of grinding and hoping for good equips with excellent attributes.
Inferno mode is no joke..want a real massacre?
Play Hardcore Inferno mode, where if you die once, your character is permanently dead.
And in Diablo 3, dying is an EXTREMELY NORMAL occurrence, like, you can literally have scenarios here where you were just resurrected, only to die within a couple of seconds if you pick the wrong moves or have bad equips.
..Oh and I Wanna Be The Guy. You think you can play it without dying?
GL with that, you'd have to memorize the whole route and not make a mistake.
There are so many more games on the net that are crazy like that, you know like Super Kaizo World, a hack of Super Mario World.
Super Mario Bros. Frustration..I know I've seen plenty more.
I know all the games I mentioned are rage inducing, very sure of that.
RUST IS THE WORST! So freaking hard to progress. I started playing AFTER they took the zombies out and its still, like, impossible. Either you get killed by a wolf or a bear, you starve to death, or you get killed by another player. So hard.
But another game I'm gonna add to the list is Dark Souls. So frustrating. It's the only game I've ever yelled at while playing.
I feel like this is super cliche, but I had/am having a hecka hard time with Dark Souls. It's so brutal, and I think I'm playing it wrong. But it FEELS like I'm playing it right. I just keep getting massacred.
I'd also like to mention my favorite game, Doom. It's not really hard by todays standard, but come on. Ultra Violence mode was a true test of manliness back in the day.
