Other gamers just like put themselves through the must punishing gauntlets imaginable. Why? Why not! Playing challenging games and eventually besting them is one of the best accomplishments a gamer can have in their repertoire and is often cited as a badge of honor for years to come. So for this week's installment of our Top 10 countdown, we're taking a look at the most brutal, difficult and challenging games we can think of. Are you good enough to beat these 10 beasts?"
It came from the shadows, and to the shadows it shall return. Here are the best ninja games on the PlayStation 2.
Everyone is focused on open world unfortunately 😒 2000s had some of the best games in general. Just enough depth that you don't have to sign your life away to complete a game.
Seriously, I miss classic character action hack n slash games. Now everything is either huge open world gruel or a souls-like, often both.
Ikr? I would love a new Tenchu game.
It doesn't need to be a big budget with epic scope or other BS. Just a fun game like before with updated graphics and some quality of life improvements.
I'm hoping the success of armored core they'll be more inclined to revisit Tenchu as it really showed that a smaller scope game with a tight refined experience can be a success as well as the huge complex open RPG affairs. Still bums me out that Sekiro started as a new Tenchu, but they changed their mind halfway through development.
*ARAGAMI 1 and 2 for a current fix
**Wrath of Heaven is probably the greatest ninja/stealth game ever.
Shinobi was okay. Your sword drained your health. So you had to constantly keep moving. You couldn't take your time to even explore or even breath. Nightshade rectified this.
F-Zero 99 is a fantastic new way to play the franchise, but it falls far short of a new game built for modern hardware.
I would have loved a F-Zero GX remake, not remaster, or a brand new F-Zero game.😞
The problems with that are it'd probably weigh in at a full price game and it wouldn't include the AX tracks that are weirdly in the GameCube version but can't be accessed.
Actually I thihk you can get the AX tracks but it's really hard to do it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ga...
But I think you might still need to find the arcade of AX, that would be nearly impossible today. There is hope, there is a rom hack for the GC rom that has all the AX tracks in there. 😁 Just search for: F-Zero AX Direct Boot
This. Why Nintendo won’t fan service us with this and give Wave Race the same treatment is beyond me. Switch 2 launch games would sell them out of consoles, but we’ll prolly just get another Mario because they figure that’s enough. Sadly, they are correct.
Was Tetris 99 a new game built for modern hardware? What about Mario 99?
Does this person not know that Fzero 99 is built on the SNES title? Were they actually expecting a brand new Fzero game? hahahahaha
Also, what's with all of the spammy ass tags?
Let’s break out the wine glasses and celebrate the legacy of the last great entry in this overlooked Nintendo racing franchise with F-Zero GX!
I bought this for GameCube the day it released, it was fantastic and I think a Switch port would totally hold up as well as Metroid Prime did. I would buy this again…
Does that say something good for the game or something bad about the progress of graphics over 20 years?
It says something good about the game. Some age well and some don’t. Standard practice for games today and features can’t be compared to 2003 because we simply weren’t there yet. Features that are standard now hadn’t even been dreamed up yet back then, it’s called progress, everything is changing incrementally all the time.
If you don’t see the ridiculously impressive difference in graphics between games released today vs 20 years ago then you don’t really know what you’re talking about. Games are approaching film quality CG in real time now. You sound like an entitled kid who doesn’t know how good he has it, who also wasn’t even here 20 years ago.
It would be a day one buy for me if this was re-released on the Switch. My favorite racing game on the Switch is Fast RMX. I would like a sequel to that game as well.
As long as Nintendo made the AX tracks accessible. They’re hidden in GX on the GameCube.
The AX tracks are hidden on GX on the GameCube. Weird how you can only access them using a Datel cheat disc.
Absolutely loved this game. Nintendo needs to stop messing around and give us a new F-Zero.
I think they're scared of releasing a new entry after all this time and the sales don't meet their expectations. There are very few racing games I'd pay full price for, but a new F-Zero? I would get a limited edition if they offered it.
Completed 2 of those. Nothings as hard as that sonic the hedgehog reboot.
I beat all except FTL and God's Hand (never played em).
I only played NG2, MTP, Contra and G&G from that list. All were hard but G&G gave me the biggest fit, I don't even remember finishing that one.
Ninja gaiden 1&2 were hard as hell!
I played NG Sigma 2, I don't know if it's any different in terms of difficulty from NG 2, but to me it was much easier than the first one.
