Whether you beat it or ran away with your tail between your legs, which game do you consider to be one of the hardest things you ever played?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
It's a tie between Spelunky and Dark Souls. I'm almost certain I have played games that were harder, but these are the only two I can remember off the top of my head. I wasn't able to beat either.
X-Com: UFO Defense
Also Civ IV on the highest difficulty level. Ahahaha that one did not go very well.
Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call, maybe? Never managed to beat that one.
Oh, and Diablo II, but that was just cheap and unfair. The final boss just throws away what you know about the game out the window. Smurf that guy.
Civ on high difficulty is essentially something I see as an impossibility, and don't even consider.
Beyond that... hmm. Bayonetta, because I suck with QTE's, perhaps. Actually it wasn't hard, more just frustrating. Hard games aren't very common these days. I suppose I could point to games like Pacman and Tetris which are impossible to win but some people can do so much better at them than I can. And playing Hotline Miami was addictive despite how tricky it could be. It's definitely doable, if only because each level is actually really, really short, but the amount of times I had to attempt some of the levels was excessive. xD
Hardest learning curve? X3. I just couldn't figure out what I was to do and/or how I was supposed to do it. With Dwarf Fortress at least I had fun deciphering it. With X3 it was just frustrating.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Hmm personally that would be Shin Megami Tensei DDS1+2 I guess. I always wanted to try Nocturne as well but never got my hands on copy.
Probably Contra. Also any FPS can be considered hard in my books
Not even kidding you:

Even if you DO get past Gonzo's space level (you won't), the final boss level is virtually unwinnable.
i don't know why this is a discussion because the only answer is battletoads
Hmmm. SMT games can be brutal if you make a wrong move - in P4 I was almost finished with the final boss when I didn't guard one turn when I meant to, and that was it. It was over. Had to do it all again. Bayonetta is also pretty unforgiving, and I never had trouble with the QTEs but damn was I just not skilled enough at it. The Disgaea games have a ridiculous curve too.
Basically I am not too great at video games okay.
Hmmm.... dark souls definitely changed the way I looked at games, but at least I was able to beat that.
Now, serious sam 1 is a game that Im not sure I'll ever be able to best. It just gets way too crazy later on in the game for me to handle.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
