hardest singleplayer games out there

hexen 2

 

You cannot even fathom the meaning of "difficult" until you have died literally hundreds of times and not scratched the easiest 10% of a game. Nethack is a game renowned for its incredible brutality. people can play it for years and never finish it (I can testify to that). It seemingly kills players at random, except it isn't random: supposedly every attempt is winnable, every death is avoidable. There is just so much you can do, and have done to you, and so much to work through, and since the levels and items are randomly generated, you can memorize nothing but overall strategies.

Yes, it is a text-based game, but it is a game so difficult that it is doomed to only be enjoyed by nerds with enough obsession to basically walk into their own slaughter hundreds (if not thousands) of times before achieving anything.

 

Sounds like the perfect game for emo people. On par with cutting themselves.
(not that everyone who plays the game is emo, but emo people would like it)

 

nethack is teh hardcore..

my friend plays it.

 

tell me more about this game...how is the gameplay?

 

Yep, Nethack has gotta be the nerdiest of them all! Even nerdier than the Zork series! It's uber nerdy!

 

Nethack Parody Song.

The lyrics seem really weird, but I swear, all of this is the kind of stuff that goes on in the game. "...Running from the D's and Ls and killing all the os ... you never ID all your stuff until your at-sign dies."

GM_k: the gameplay is basically wandering around in a text-graphics dungeon, trying to reach the bottom, retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, then get out, fight through the higher planes, and present it to your god (each class has a different god, too). The really interesting thing about it is that, just about anything you can imagine can be done. Need to get rid of a piece of cursed armor? Disintegrate it with a scroll of Destroy Armor, have a nymph come along and steal it from you, dip it into a potion of holy water, pray to your god to have the curse removed. There are many ways to save yourself from tricky situations, but just as many to get into them.

Read a spellbook when you have a low intellect score, you might end up being blinded, stunned, or teleported to a random spot on the level. The expensive book you just bought for 600 gold might then crumble to dust. Maybe you read it in a shop while holding unpaid items. After you teleport, the Shopkeeper will then call the Keystone Kops on you, and they'll throw pies at you(blinding you, unless you wipe the goo off) and beat you with rubber hoses while the Shopkeeper (one of the fiercest creatures in the game, I might add) makes his way to you to kill you. If you're a wizard, your default robe of magic resistance will protect you until his wand wears out, but after that? A couple of solid, old-fashioned blows to the head will do you in for good.

 

seems interesting..so u suggest i play it? or its not worth it? or will it make me mad?

 

It's already made me mad. I don't get the boulders. But it's fun kicking in doors.

 

Id say splinter cell or MGS the sc missions were pretty hard as well

 

Ninja Gaiden Black, the Directors Edition. Freaking hard. Like, the hardest boss ever.

 

has anyone played hexen2 on the hardest level....!? or even worse try it with a paladin or crusader...

you probably should be able to download or torrent it somewhere because it's old and takes crap-all memory.

 

everysingle megaman side-scroller game

 

Godhand is pretty hard. I'm stuck on a boss and I have top of the line moves for my style and I just can't get him down to 50%.

 

Starcraft!!!




jk ^_^

 

I have a broken copy of godhand

 

lol godhand looks funny

 

No offense, but the style must suck. Have a name?

 

No but when I say style I mean what abilities I'm using.
I have all fast ones that do moderate damage but they're for a few hits then I back off. It works well against bosses because they can't touch me then but this one... phew.

 

Whats the game like?
