Galaxy Next Door writes: Ah the 80s: a time of neon sneakers, wild hair, Duran Duran, and video games that didn’t give a damn about easing you into its gameplay. Nope, gaming in the 80s was unapologetically hard, but we liked it. Well, to be honest we really didn’t have a choice. There were no save points or even game saves. There was, if we were lucky, game codes that would allow us to continue from a level — but that was it. Hard Corps: Uprising brings back the brutally tough (but fair) side-scrolling action of yesteryear.
Contra has been missing in action for quite sometime now, and with the current trend of next gen reboots/remakes/re-imaginings, it would be a perfect series to revive. David
Conversations this week revolve around Phil Fish leaving gaming and cancelling Fez 2, a Contra game you probably have never heard of and Zach Braff hate-speak. Despite our best efforts the show somehow spirals back into a discussion about GTA V.
4 bosses in the first stage?! Definitely sounds like Contra ;)Can't wait to check out Hard Corps: Uprising!
You could be the ultimate gaming dynamo and these games are likely to send you crying and hurling your controller at the wall.
Demon's Souls is the toughest I played on PS3. Awesome game btw.
Wipeout is tough to Platinum. Socom Confrontation was another without grinding.
@Bordel, im still stuck on the first level of Demon Souls and I still love it.
I'm still working on my Confrontation Platinum. Just need a few more rounds won by extraction on Escort and hostage extracts. It's ridiculously hard do get this trophy without cheating (getting your clan on alts to help boost those stats).
I feel it is a worthy game though, I only plat games I love.
1. Demon's Souls
2. Dark Souls
3. Confrontation (TBA)
I'd actually stick ninja gaiden sigma 1 ahead of demon's souls. I found that game much harder than DS. I never beat it. Well, I would have if my save hadn't bugged, but that's not the point.
Mine would actually be any of the GoWs. Button mashers are my downfall. There's not a snowball's chance in Hades I'll platinum a GoW. Getting a platinum on Demon's Souls was relatively easy, for me. I'm better at that type of gameplay.
demon souls.... i died aleast 10 times with the first monster
it took me while untill i knew how to play it
killzone 2/3 on Elite difficulty
uncharted 2/3 on Crashing difficulty
Call of duty games? Haha! Absolutely not, WAW is the exception but the others (namely the latest ones) were easy on Vet. I should also add COD4 to the hard list, the last level has become fairly infamous to completionists and trophy hunters.
Demon's Souls was not too hard for me. Maybe because I chose magic, but for the majority of the game I was careful.
I stopped buying COD after BLOPS but both BLOPS and MW2 were only slightly more difficult that regular difficulty. I think I finished each on veteran in under 6 hours. WaW is a different story, at times it was like I was being carpet bombed with grenades.
Yeah a game can't be hard if, on default, it allows you to snap to an enemy's head via auto-aim.
Demon's souls is an easy plat. You can do it in under 100 hours if you know what you're doing. Try platting SOCOM: confrontation. I didn't even get one of those.
Killzone 2 on Elite difficulty, oh boy the last level before you face Colonel Radec.
Edit - and ofc Demon's Souls, but at the same time so great and rewarding!
