Looks fun though Darkest Dungeon - Even harder-than-nails Lovecraftian inspired dungeon crawler, stunning art and great strategy gameplay Rebel Galaxy - Heard good things about this space adventure and want to try it when I get rid of some backlog The first five games were chosen because I want to try them and the second five were randomly picked throught random.org because I don't know what to add All good fun choices.

It's one of the PS2 games and I think a RPG. Never heard about this game before its release on PS4, but RPGs are one of my favourite genres so I bought it.

There were quite a lot of NES-games that already defined the term Nintendo Hard. Battletoads, Turtles, Ninja Gaiden, Zelda II. And personally I think SSW is as hard as many other platformers on the SNES. Lion King and Donald Duck in Maui Mallard (Cold Shadow for those US-citizens) come right to my mind. Rogue Squadron was cool, though. Really liked that and Episode I Racer. Still I never made it too far in the later one as I somehow always screwed up the upgrades and had a shitty pod racer in the later levels. The only "future racing"-game I was able to handle on the N64 was Wipeout 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing of the NES era, I only got interested in gaming when it reached 16-bit. Super Star Wars, thanks to the licence though, was the one that everybody knew and that was hard from the start, contrast to Mario which was getting much easier with World (except for the Special zone), Link To The Past which had a good difficulty curve, and others (I finished Lion King and it's not that hard, one or two levels towards the end maybe). Super Star Wars was so tough that a very high percentage of gamers claims to never have gotten beyond the "Inside Sand Crawler" level. Personally, I think Super Star Wars only gets tough on Jedi difficulty but it does seem to be the most remembered game when talking about tough difficulty. 2 minutes ago, Crimson Idol said: Rogue Squadron was cool, though.

What I always did in Racer was make sure that the winner would get all the prize money, and then I would win the race and get so much money with which to upgrade my Racer... Also, F-Zero X!

Personally, I think Super Star Wars only gets tough on Jedi difficulty but it does seem to be the most remembered game when talking about tough difficulty. I guess nowadays it's hard to discuss about the difficulty of old games as the memories are kinda foggy (and we all had less experience in gaming) but I guess it's save to say that there were many hard games at that time which may have been as difficult as Super Star Wars or were more difficult, but they weren't that well-known outside the mainstream as they weren't based on movies. If you have some spare time and just take a look at this to get an impression: Spoiler As you can see, there were much harder games back then. I wonder how people could handle games like the first Castlevanias or Ninja Gaiden. Sidenote: The answer took so long as I got lost in watching those kinds of videos... OMG, and I complain about Gymkhana in Dirt 3. Edited February 17, 2017 by Crimson Idol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemiak Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I can probably count on one hand, definitely two, how many NES games I actually finished. Then again I was an 8-11 year old kid who didn't have a lot of money so we rented games for a day or two instead or dropping $80 on something I might only play a couple hours. Edit: Nvm, I can think of at least 6 or 7 after just a minute if two actually thinking. I also didn't do particularly well with frustration back then and had more than a few Rage quit moments. Some of that was brutal (or non-logical) level design, some just built in unfairness, limited lives/continues, etc. I never really completed a lot on the Genesis either. The SNES is probably where I started to stick with games longer and even set random challenges for myself to complete. Again, I'm not sure whether that was because the games actually got that much easier or just a shift in ability/attitude in myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really click the first time, but I absolutely loved it and got the Plat later on. But with my games for KYC3 already decided on, I probably won't get to it right away. I'm hoping to be done with Borderlands 2 by then. Maybe I can squeeze it in after that, but I was thinking of playing LEGO Movie next. The struggle. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mix of active (and rather slow) combat combined with the planning wasn't something I enjoyed.

Played the first one for two levels (getting all collectibles in level 5 and playing level 6) and don't feel like playing the second game anytime soon. I really don't like the gameplay... Now I just have to think of a good replacement. I thought about using either Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Grow Home, or Valkyrie Drive. But I guess I will choose Valkyrie Drive, mainly for the reason that I already have enough PS3-games and Grow Home is too similar to games already chosen. And on a sidenote: Made some progress in Dirt 3: The DC-Challenges are still giving me a headache as I only get gold at best, but I'm starting to get the feel for the Gymkhana-mode. I'm even able to win against the enemies on difficulty 3 of 6. I also finished all random online-trophies for the base game and the DLCs and the only one left to do is the Superstar-grind which will take about 6 to 8 hours of dedicated boosting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladynadiad Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 So assuming I raid the bargain bin and all, my list is looking to be roughly as follows: Tales of Graces f (technically started it, but didn't get far enough for a trophy) Drakengard 3 Remember Me God of War Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Deception IV: Blood Ties Journey Pocket RPG Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep With one last TBD title. Unless Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse could count when I have no trophies in episodes 2-5 which PSNP counts as separate games. Yeah, I'm running that low on games and some of this includes stuff bought very recently. If not, I'll just pick another interesting seeming bargain bin title, maybe Dynasty Warriors. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzquaid Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Looks like this will be my list, mostly because I don't have many other unstarted games that I'd actually like to play: Actual Sunlight (PS+) Dear Esther (PSN winter sale) Dishonored 2 (Christmas present) Doom (recent online sale) Grow Home (PS+) Invisible Inc (PS+) Joe Dever's Lone Wolf (PSN winter sale) Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence - Ascension (probably foolish impulse buy) Papa & Yo (PS+) Stories: TPoD (PS+) Yeah, yeah, some of those are really short and easy, but I'm bad at games so it evens out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
