10 Outrageously Difficult Games From Recent Years

"As gaming begins it slippery descent into the eighth generation with the upcoming dawn of the Wii U, it's a time of reflection for many of us as we hark back to the golden eras of gaming. Whether you grew up with an Atari, NES or PS1, childhood gaming experiences are one of the great sources of nostalgia that the modern gamer can rely on. One thing we so often see in our gaming pasts is the sheer difficulty of some of these older titles. Pitfall, Contra, Battletoads etc. These retro classics are some of the hardest games out there, but difficult games haven't completely receded in recent years. To hush all the hand-holding cake walks out there are plenty of titles from the past five years that will truly have you tearing your hair out. We've picked out ten of them for you."

What an incredibly lazy... did you call this an article? I't just a series of screen shots... no discussion of 'why' the games are difficult? Shameless...

Lord_Sloth4176d ago

Most people don't actually read the articles written for top 10 lists anyway, they just get the list. Especially when the ass-hat running the site spreads everything across 10 pages.

Cam9774176d ago

They spread it across 10 pages so they can gain more revenue from ads. Avoid articles like this at all costs.

According to their updates some of their readers are dead. It's probably due to clicking through so many pages.

caseh4177d ago

Lmao I just saw that and thought WTF, i'm guessing they mean 'Dear' rather than 'Dead'.

Bimkoblerutso4177d ago

Yeah, I'm not clicking through that many pages just so you can get a few extra hits.

1.Ninja Gaiden Sigma
2.QWOP
3.The Heist
4.Trials HD
5.I Wanna Be the Guy
6.Trauma Center (really ?)
7.Sin and Punishment (really ?)
8. Super meat boy
9.Mega Man 9
10. Demon Souls

BinaryMind4177d ago

I'm not sure if this list is in order, but there's no way you could put Ninja Gaiden Sigma ahead of MM9 or Super Meat Boy. Heck, where's Super Hexagon?

Captain Qwark 94176d ago

id agree with sigma, trials, smb, mm9, and demon/dark souls.

never played the rest. also id like to note that despite their difficulty, easily some of the best games this gen too

Donnieboi4176d ago

Where is Catherine? It was so hard that they had to add an easier mode, and it was STILL hard.

Fateful_Knight4177d ago

That first screen is from Ninja Gaiden 3, not Sigma.

The_Con-Sept4177d ago

As seen on top10.com Hahahaha what's with this shizzle?

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Friendlygamer9m ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
