What’s the hardest game of this generation and are we all going a bit soft?

Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "So, I’ve been playing through Bayonetta recently and it’s a great game. It’s also a challenging game. Not the hardest I’ve ever played and certainly always the right side of fair, but a challenge all the same. That got me thinking – what’s been the hardest game of this generation thus far"?

Res 5 on hardest difficulty with a.i, no cheats and nothing carried over from another playthrough. That or L4D with a.i on hardest difficulty.

For me it's demon souls.
One of most hardest games this gen.
Not unfair hard or broken hard like some games!
It resemble everything I loved in ps2 era games.
It rewarding and actually take skill, not like today's games where the developers take your hands to the end of the game!

If you are used to bang bang, slash slash, win win! Then you gonna boo boo, cry cry and go home :D

Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master Ninja
Left 4 Dead 2 on Realistic
Demon's Souls

Although, Demon's Souls is more of a trial and error. Once you know the level, the only hard thing to deal with is the boss, and some of them can be exploited.

For me, it's Ninja Gaiden 2 "Mission Modes" for Xbox 360. I still haven't conquered it yet on Master Ninja!

There are things I feel I can get good enough, and then there are those that seems unreachable even if I had all the time in the world. Ninja Gaiden 2 Mission Mode is one of the latter! :(

I think the author mistakes "fiendish difficulty" for enemies that we given the advantage in damage , health, and other things. It's like trying to break a rock with silly putty; That too also has an extremely hard difficulty, but only because your given bad equipment to accomplish it.

Mgs4isOverrated5043d ago

Definetely Pixel Junk Monsters.

NukaCola5043d ago

The one game to destroy you:

PEGGLE!

Demon's Souls and Catherine come into mind first.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4137d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP137d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot137d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19136d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff138d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga138d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast137d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion138d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion138d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha138d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z138d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.
