Hardest Video Games

So I was browsing the Internet and saw a site talking about the hardest video games of all time. I started looking through other similar lists and no mention of EQ... I feel like original EQ got totally snubbed and is much more challenging than many games on these lists.

There's nothing difficult about any MMO's, Like Samwise said they are timesinks, EQ may be the most skill intensive but you're comparing basic motor function (EQ) to a paraplegic (WoW).

I don't see how Lost Levels could possibly make that list. Also I think Bart's Nightmare belongs somewhere on a "hardest games" list. That game is insane.

Final stage of Lost Levels is a PITA, I can see it getting on the list for that alone, the rest was simply Megaman level annoyingly hard.

If you think EQ takes more skill than WoW you're braindead. While EQ is a far superior game in terms of enjoyability, all you have to do is not be a fucking moron and you can win. I have no idea of the current state of WoW, but back in the day (pre-WotLK), you had to earn your shit through complex raid encounters.

Following the simplest instructions and learning basic patterns is considered 'complex' these days? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think the diff with EQ is the vast impact of skill. When tanking on my SK I have people actively go "holy shit you can hold aggro" or "thank god you're here, the last warrior/paladin/sk/ranger (lol)" sucked, etc...

EQ is a very, very unforgiving game if you suck at it.

Lol @ complex raid encounters. WoW's idea of complex raid encounters were "don't stand in the giant glowing circle" or "run away from the badass murder mob." And if you're too fucking stupid to accomplish such complicated mechanics, you can download an add-on that holds your hand and tells you exactly where you need to be and what to do at all times.

WoW is complex is you're a fucking idiot. Or blind. I was deep into psychedelics back when I played WoW, I was tripping my face off 95% of the time I played and I was one of the top rogues in my raid guild.

BT wasn't so bad. Sunwell pre 3.0 was a fucking nightmare. M'uru / Felmyst were cut-your-dick-off territory. Could never seem to get them on farm status. Sometimes we'd get them in 1 attempt but usually it was closer to 4-5 attempts each goddamn week until 3.0. Still, fun ass encounters.
