Hardest Game You Ever Beat?

[norid]

Ninja Gaiden II. Oh Goodness gracious how I rage pouted.

[Hyper_Reality]

The Ninja Gaiden games are ridiculous! I've never come close to beating any of them!

Completely forgot about ninja gaiden. I think my mind blocked those memories to protect me from their difficulty.

I never beat Ninja Gaiden... I rage quit... and I openly admit it. =P

I think most older games use to be so hard because they had no continues or saves. If you died, you go back, that's what made it hard. I've played Ninja Gaiden for NES, hard game yeah, I've never beaten it, but If I could load up at the beginning of a level, It wouldn't take me that long.

Also, Black ops on Veteran I claimed impossible, I got stuck where you are in this desert looking place and have to run down the hill using bunkers or sand bags as cover. You can kill as many as you want, they never stop coming, I claimed it impossible and deleted the save off my xbox.

Anyway, hardest game I've beaten.... hmmm, BioShock on the hardest difficulty and beating it 100% was definitely intense. I got close with Deadspace, half way through the game on impossible, and the name of the difficult is dead on. I gave up on that as well. Trying to think of the games I've beaten none of them really stick out in my mind. I've mostly only beat shooters, don't really play that many other games. If I do it's not normally on the hardest difficulty so they're really not that hard.

Along with no continues or saves as Trunks stated, I believe older games were much harder because most of them did not have a difficulty setting. You got stuck with whatever difficulty the game programmers decided was hard enough. Nowadays, you can just dial down the difficulty to easy and dominate any game in less than a week.

And this why we refer to extremely hard games as "Nintendo Hard".

How hard was Contra? Without cheats?

You only have a few lives, you die in one hit, and everything imaginable in the world is out to kill you. A great game, but it will extremely piss you off.
