Zack & Wiki.

The first stages are easy. By the time you get to the first boss you can feel a moderate challenge. The next stage comes and it stops being easy. Some of the levels are really quite tough. The third stage comes and your totally baffled in some places. By the time you get to the final stage your using your full mental capacity to wrap your head around the insane logic.

I agree with Zack and Wiki. That last level was hell. I don't know how many times I wanted to throw my controller towards the TV.

Without difficulty settings increased Demon's Souls I guess (It doesn't have difficulties).

On the highest difficulty setting its been either Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1, Sigma 2, or Killzone 2.

Later this week I should be started Bayonetta on Climax Mode so that might make its way in there

Probably Wipeout HD. That game can really kick your ass on phantom elite.

Not too sure. I try and play all games with difficulty settings at the highest possible on first playthrough.

I'm gonna give it to Persona 3 though, because maxing Social Links, levelling up, and trying to max Academics, Charm and Courage can be incredibly tricky.

I have absolutely no skill when it comes to action games such as DMC. I mean I really suck. I'm surprised I got through GOW 3. But I say the hardest for me is DMC4.

BulletWitch on the hard difficulty, what a pain. To be honest, there were quite a few, but I hated that one the most.

Prototype on Hard for me. Just because you would die in 2 hits from anything... :evil:

second, i'd say Resident Evil 5 on Professional WITHOUT infinite rockets. Holy god.....

the COD games frustrate me on the hardest difficulty, even if I'm smart about using cover enemies will keep me pinned down where if I just peak out I get shot nearly to death, causing me to go back into cover and repeat, yet my AI partners will be like standing right outside my cover area out in the open lookingl like they're laying down fire but they're missing everything they shoot at and yet nobody attempts to cap them, yet when I simply peak out of cover there goes the bullets at me again

I've got to go with Super Mario Galaxy. It took me the longest time figuring out that the way to beat Bowser for the last time was the same way you fought him 5 times prior to the final battle.

This. I got to the boss, died in about 30 seconds, and turned the game off. I haven't played that game in months due to that. I always tell myself that I will, but I still got DA:O to beat.

God of War 3 - Chaos Mode (Infuriatingly, controller-tossing-out-window difficult) Demon's Souls - No difficulty selection. Its only default mode is hardcore enough already. MGS4 - Big Boss Extreme - No Alerts, No Kills, 5 hour completion (including cutscenes). A true stealth and fanboy test for any MGS veteran out there.

No, its really not that hard of a game dude...if u can just not die till u figure out what to do on a boss you will win easy. Plus...magic makes the game much to easy.

Why do people play Demons Souls? It's average at best, especially if you use your brain. I'm assuming we're talking single player. A lot of FPS games are really hard on top difficulty settings. But to be honest, 99% of that is cheap difficulty. Doesn't really count. I'm going with Oblivion on Very Hard. Those rats....

COD:WAW was really, really tough on veteran mode. Killzone 2, last level on elite. Demon's Souls. Boss Extreme run on MGS4 is quite hard, especially the motorbike part.

I wouldn't call Demon's Souls hard, because if you figure out what to do, it's surprisingly easy. On the 4-1 boss, at first I died with no damage to it at all, but when I figured out what to do, it was bleeding easy, though wth do you with 2-2 boss?

Ninja Gaiden 2, although that is more because the 360 version has some incredibly cheap segments(I hear Sigma 2 cleans that up a bit). Recently it's Sin and Punishment: Star Successor. I'm sure for shmup vets it's a walk in the park, but normal is actually requiring me to try. SO I would assume the game on hard mode is probably rediculous.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (2nd G), fighting some bosses alone requires extreme skill to be able to win. Excellent game difficulty though (Not cheap like cough cough cough ninja cough cough gaiden cough cough). The other one is Demon's Souls first 2 play-throughs, I got killed probably 5 times by [spoiler] Flame Lurker [/spoiler] and got disappointed in my skills.

Mega Man 10 on hard, Castle of Shikigami, and Deathsmiles probably.

I seemed to die a lot in STALKER too, but I think that was just me being sloppy
