DIYGamer: Here’s one for the developers (aspiring or otherwise) among us – If you’ve never heard of I Wanna Be The Guy, you’ve probably been living under an internet-free rock for the past few years. A landmark ‘masocore‘ game, and heavily inspired by infamous romhacks of classic 8/16-bit titles such as Kaizo Mario. As of tonight, the source-code for the game has been released along with a broadly permissive agreement on what you can do with it. In short, it’s an open invitation to fans to turn the game into a leaner, meaner, even more hilariously sadistic experience.
Siliconera got in contact with Michael “Kayin” O’Reilly of Kayinworks, the mind behind I Wanna Be The Guy and now Brave Earth: Prologue, at BitSummit to talk about his new game’s long development time and its devotion to NES authenticity.
Every great game has incredible boss battles. These are the moments gamers live for, a true testament of one’s will and gaming skill. Only players who are willing to learn from every crushing defeat can rise victorious against these beasts listed below.
Psycho Mantis wasn't hard at all!
Shao Khan was a prat in Mk3 and somehow in MK9 they made him even more of a cheese monger!
I got MGS before it was stateside. I couldn't wait to get it so I had it imported. Of course, everything was in Japanese then so the whole game was quite difficult first run through b/c I had no idea what they were saying...especially Psycho Mantis, LOL.
I can beat these bosses. I have beat these bosses. And yet...I HATE facing Seth in SFIV.
Ninja Gaiden Black - Dark Samurai Boss
oh and the first Boss (spoilers) who is also the last Boss seriously eef that guy
viewpoint on the neo geo is a total bastard! it re-uses previous bosses until the game destroys you.
Cheat Code Central's Jenni Lada writes: "Many people lament the loss of “Nintendo hard” games. But if you’re willing to look for them, you’ll find that not all the insanely challenging games are way back in the NES era. If recent years are any indication, developers understand that we actually do want games that kick our asses. We want to be tested. We want to throw our controllers through our HDTVs. So if you need to be brought down a few pegs, you should spend some time with the ten following games."
Note: Hardcore mode did not and does not make Fallout harder.
It just adds a food/drink component, which I guess you could say is harder, but it's not in the same "dimension" as the main game. It doesn't make gunplay scarier, or anything--it just means you need to be cognizant of your inventory.
If there ever was a game that would make you cry, this is it. So many random event you have to remember paired with constant precision. I once got to the Metroid section and promptly gave up on the game. That part is already hard as Samus, nightmarish with "The Kid".
