For me, EVE Online, hands down. I just started my trial a couple of days ago. Even after the great tutorial... what in the sweet and holy name of God is going on. :shock:

I didn't even understand the tutorial....hahahaahhahah. Other game for me would be Baldur's Gate 1.... my first introduction to an RPG game, and I went to the extreme since it used advanced Dungeons and Dragons Rules. I was completely lost at the start.... (didn't even know I could PAUSE, lol)

EVE Online was pretty tough, the X series if you get into massive fleet management and complex building. Supreme Ruler 2020 is micromanagement hell and Paradox games can be fairly overwhelming when you first get into them and are fairly complex, especially Hearts of Iron and Victoria series.

Agreed, those games can be pretty difficult to figure out (also Europa Universalis III, dear Lord). EVE Online is confusing, baffling, but for some reason, I can't get enough of it.

AI War: Fleet Command. To this day the most mind-boggling game I've ever attempted to play.

I haven't really had much trouble with PC games personally (yet). I'd have to say maybe Dragon Age as it was my first experience with a CRPG in over a decade and my previous one was the relatively simple Diablo II. :P

But the most complex game I have played is probably Gun Valkyrie for the first Xbox...... wow. Wow.

Wow.

X3 as difficulty and GTA IV (followed closely by Crysis/Metro), technology.

I'll go with Hearts of Iron and Europa Universalis, complex as hell at first, but fun and rewarding when you get the hang of it.

Never tried EVE, but I guess that it's not easy to pick up and play.

Could get into Civ 4 cuz it was such a pain to learn. Got into Civ V alright though. Umm...what else...Galactic Civilizations was probably worse than Civ 4. lol if i feel like I wont like how complex it is...I dont buy it. Like Europa Universalis 3...I played that demo and then said...hell no.

falcon 4 allied force for me, the only game I really had to know what I was doing for even just playing the game. I wonder if I can even call that thing a game, it's such a complex sim...

Civilization IV or X3: Terran Conflict

I love them both, but they do hurt my brain.

Disega or however you spell it for the PS3 is pretty much HUH WTH complicated at times coupled with a difficult to master fighting system.

Temple of Elemental Evil is complicated in its fighting system and actually getting the game to work is also a challenge.

Baldurs Gate series.

Final Fantasy Tactics.

Neverwinter Nights 2 etc

Overall i havent struggled to much its more down to learning what you need to know! Actually Demons Souls is complicated if you get into mastering the PVP some of the Stats and things required of you are highly demanding.

This. Even Falcon 4.0 and DCS: Black Shark on full realism are more easy to understand than the Battlecruiser games. Universal Combat had me scratching my head for a week before I finally just gave up.

Freespace 2.. You literally have to map every key on the keyboard. I only ended up using about 50 of these keys, but I had to do so while piloting my spaceship through intense dogfights...

Probably Baldur's Gate. I'm only just getting into complex western RPGs after playing platformers and JRPGs for most of my life. It's a fun change. I hope to get Temple of Elemental Evil off GOG soon; that looks pretty cool.

I second the mention of Freespace2.

Temple of Elemental Evil is a masterpiece to be honest! You will need to download player Patches tho BE WARNED i would link them but sadly i lost the 2 Hard drives with that information on. Just do a search and watch out for the Magic Missile Bug its annoying until you understand why and how it happens!

ArmA 2 is kind of complex, X3 Reunion is pretty complex, Hearts of Iron 3 probably takes the cake. Played it for like 2 hours, had no idea what was going on.

Dwarf Fortress, the only game that can really challenge it for me is Europa Universalis III, but it doesn't even come close to Dwarf Fortress.

I dunno, EVE is probably the hardest.. but my level of understanding was so low, that I didn't notice any difficulty, just that it was boring.
