Hardest Video Games

[Tecmos Deception]

Why is it that anytime someone tries to talk about being "good" or "skilled" at an MMO, 99% of people suddenly go full retard?

Just because an MMO doesn't have a set of victory conditions doesn't mean that everything you could possibly do in that MMO is simple. Just because grinding out levels 55-60 in LCY in a full group is mind-numbingly easy doesn't mean EQ is nothing but a timesink. Pick some things to do that aren't lowest common denominator and give them a whirl.

Super ghouls n ghosts, think I only ever got past the 2nd level once

hard to judge how difficult some games are now adays because before people even see the start menu, they already have read the wiki, guide, forums, and whatever else can be found on the internet. i played dark souls forever without reading the guide i think up until the catacombs or 4 kings.

Robodemons and Solomons Key are among some of the hardest games I have ever played.

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).

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.]
