I love how after all these years, after many many games, Tyranny's first act's end fight still stands as an insane difficulty spike of unfair proportions.
I always thought it was hard because of bad builds. Glad to hear that it apparently was on purpose or generally seen as hard lol
@@aurex8937He was referring specifically to that boss on the highest difficulty level.
Only beat that on PotD because I eventually ran away from it in desperation, which led to me accidentally managing to split off a bunch of adds while the main group dropped aggro.
I set myself a rule after uninstalling the witcher 2 (3 hours in), if the first 2-3 hours of a game doesn't hook me in then I'll just play something else.
Thats why persona games didnt hook me. I even gave persona 5 around 40 hours to get good and those games all are just not my cup of tea. None of them are more than a 5/10 to me lol
@@weirdafters4007 tbf 40 hours are about 1/4 of a persona game, so it's fair to give it that amount of time 😂
@@tobykenoby3502 more like almost 3/4 through the game, you can easily get the true ending with the royal content in 60hrs and that's taking your time, 100% game in 2 1/2 playthroughs took a little over 100hrs for me
@@weirdafters4007Persona and Yakuza have almost no similarities
The last fight of Act 1 in Tyranny, even with all my meta knowledge, is STILL one I have to do multiple tries on the POTD difficulty. I dont think they tested it on that difficulty, you have to cheese it, or luck out. They nerfed all the defensive abilities to the point they require massive amounts of lore and accents that are not available until AFTER the fight, just to be at the point it was appropriate for that fight.
This pretty much, even knowing how to set up defensive magic etc with whats available it was just never enough. Limped out of it with Lantry the only one standing who had a sliver of health left when I finally got it
@@MortismalGaming Last couple of runs, I had to use the tables in the room as a bottleneck to keep the melee opponents from being able to attack me. Which I classify as cheesing it, which doesnt feel great, but the fight is just horrible if you try to do it straight up in POTD.
Lore Accurate fight, in reality the Rebels had a miniscule chance against the elite Kyros armies.
Thanks for the video. I always enjoy listening to you talk more about the 100% experience of a game than the game itself, if that makes sense. About your struggles and the bugs or mechanics that make it difficult or easy.
The hardest videogame fight for me personally would have to be the Yxunomei fight in the original Icewind Dale.
I was very young when I first played it and didn't understand how to cheese the game's broken AI. That fight stood as a massive roadblock to what was otherwise one of my favorite games.
I almost completed underrail with a spear wielding tanky build, except the last boss killed me so many times that I gave up. I recognised that the spirit of underrail is such, that losing at the end boss was fair. Even expected, and patted myself on the back for creating a very unorthodox build that came very far.
Read this once on a forum many years ago on difficulty: "This boss sucks, way to overpowered, it took me 20 tries to defeat him" vs "This boss sucks, way to easy, it took me only 20 tries to defeat him"
The duality of personal preference is a museum.
This is a very interesting video actually, and it pointed to some good directions. Thanks a lot for this. I enjoyed a lot aliens dark descent, the game was fantastic (besides the bugs) and I'm a big fan of the franchise. Hope it will come back with a new expansion on the future.
Underrail took me close to 100 hrs alone to get used to the builds and combat, but the other 900+ hours were really fun
I'm just going through lies of p and struggling as well, it's comforting to hear that even for an experienced player like you it's not always straightforward.
Thank god the developers added the specter summon for bosses, helps me keep going to the finish line
I'm stuck on the final boss. It's so frustrating because giving up when it's the last thing in the game isn't something I can do 😂. Ive put it down for a bit and gonna go back with a fresh perspective lol.
@@Philpot1992don't feel bad though. That's my preferred genre, play all of those games multiple times, yada yada; and I had to put it down for awhile too. Still haven't beaten the last 2 bosses because I can't be bothered to have to perfectly learn every delayed timing and spend hours on a single boss. Even the so called "pros" of the genre struggle, at least on the 1st playthrough
Underrail was a love from first sight for me. After installing it I started my first playthrough at about 3 P.M. on Saturday and stayed up until like 4 A.M. the next day. No regrets, one of the best post-apo RPGs. It's true the game can be tough, but it is a well-designed game and as such, as you mentioned, it often throws you a bone to make things a tiny bit easier.
I did not expect it at all, but on my second playthrough of The Witcher 3 on the highest difficulty, I got destroyed by the Dettlaff boss fight at the end of the Blood and Wine DLC and struggled for hours...
He was a really hard fight fwiw
His second phase is just absolutely brutal
There were tough moments, but I looooved my Death March difficulty run! One of the best gaming experiences ever ... I was forced to learn the game's system that I just ignored on my original playthrough.
Defeated him on Death March without dying. Witcher 3 is one of the easiest and dumb game I ever played, plain awful. Gameplay and perk system is just plain awful.
@@domagojkersun9630 *dumbest games
I feel like these types of videos are not generally about games but more so about your own tastes. Almost like a Vlog instead of reviews- wish to be totally clear I love these kind of videos. After watching your reviews for so long I really enjoy your style a video and personality you put in these so it’s fun to hear these other videos
Yeah thats more or less what these are for, they give me an opportunity to talk about specific aspects of games that dont always make sense elsewhere
It took me almost 40 hours to beat a single full stage of Halls of Torment. After probably a 100 hours of relatively stress free Vampire Survivor playing, it was a crazy difficulty jump for me. Glad I got through it though.
Nice to see witcher 2 on the list. I thought it was already ungodly difficult on the regular difficulty, especially the opening segment, when I first played it lol.
Love this video, I have been hunting achievements on Steam since 2016 so I understand some of these game difficulties :)
Definitely agree with Underrail, also really like how it is not afraid to do what it wants to do. I mean, yeah, i felt really badass with my dex-swords build even on hard... Until i kept missing my flurry. And then i just understood it was the game's way of saying that you should always have a backup plan for situations like this. Very good way of discouraging all those overly-specialised builds that are usually prevalent in games like these.
In terms of quality, you consistently deliver. Never change.
Really great, I was surprised to not see Sekiro on here due to it's boss rush requirements to 💯
For anyone struggling with that Act 1 Tyranny fight the sigil of frostfire aoe cone on two characters made it possible for me. Getting frozen and mage fire on all those enemies is a game changer
I started playing lies of p after hearing all about it by UA-camrs and other people, and before getting into it I had a lot of trouble with parrying as well. Somehow I was able to scrape through sekiro years ago, but none of that experience really helped me with this game. How I ended up beating it is somewhat intriguing, I basically turned the game into a rhythm game. I would walk into a boss arena, basically take all of their attacks to get a feel for the timings and then I would try to match them up with beats. Somehow this actually worked, it trivialized some of the boss encounters which was interesting to me.
The Witcher 2 Iron Man was also really difficult for me when I did it years ago. I love that game by the way, but what made it more difficult was when I applied the mod which fixed combat and rebalanced everything. What I didn't know at the time, was while it removed a lot of the jank from the game, it made it significantly harder on Ironman.
Probably the hardest game I ever played was a game on the Vita called natural doctrine, it was this turn-based strategy game and it was full of jank. Some of the enemies were essentially one hit kills, and the way the strategy components were conveyed, made the game extremely difficult. A lot of it had to do with positioning and pairing up characters in a very specific way, it was convoluted as hell. I remember struggling with that game for almost a year. It actually was somewhat satisfying to eventually beat it but the struggle was real.
A lot of people say some sentiment of "the hardest Dark Souls game is the first one you play", so I recall playing Dark Souls for the first time, and I think it was the hardest game I have played - at the time. Entirety of Starcraft 2 on Brutal was also pretty, well, Brutal. And currently, Unfair for WOTR, but its not so much hard as it is (or was, before Act 3), time consuming.
How did you feel about the difficulty on an Unfair run in WOTR? I think the idea of "not if I can do, but how long will it take me to" applies very nicely to it.
Funny enough, someone thinked that brutal in SC2 wasn't hard enough and made nightmare mod, cranking up difficulty even further. Quite a few other mods use it as new baseline.
Yeah if you can make it to Act 3 it gets easier thanks to all the options available, I always found the shield maze to be the hardest part because you just dont have a lot of options
Agreeing with the sentiment entirely that the hardest DS is the first one you play and I also found DS1 to be the hardest of the bunch at release.
God looking back I've played some hard games though. Generally the hardest were always the ones with selectable difficulty that intentionally made things unfair when you selected them. Of course, something in my brain does not allow me from choosing easier difficulties, try though I might. It has actually made me appreciate games all the more with a singular vision of difficulty because I don't feel any amount of playtesting will be enough to satisfy everyone, but satisfying your own vision? That you can do as a game developer. I actually think it's a huge reason why the Souls titles are as successful as they are. I recently beat DOS2's honour mode and stomped the game so hard I questioned how anyone thinks it's difficult, but what it really made me wonder is if the game might have had more focus if they just cut the idea completely of having 5 levels of difficulty. The debate continues - I'm all for accessibility in games, but I think it comes at a massive cost to quality.
@@thepancakemann Havent played D:OS2 yet, so take my comments with a grain of salt. I did play D:OS though. I can tell you that while i enjoyed the game, i didnt enjoyed it as much as other RPGs or JRPGs. I understand that the game values experimentation tremendously and thus balance does tend towaver. However, i felt that the game tried unfair rules (physical immunity, magical immunity, 1 hit kills etc) so i also had to use unfair rules (summoning=better action economy) & that is always a problematic approach. Do note that i only mentioned simple concepts (physical immunity), because D:OS has even more outlandish tools to break the internal rules (and i am sure D;OS2 does that to an even greater extent.)
Another great Top 5 video!
Last fight in Tyranny’s first act kicked my butt! When I finally won I felt so proud of myself
I really love the underrail game.
Sekiro was hands down my hardest game to beat. I got to the end boss and had to take a year break from it cuz i felt so beat. Came back in and tried some new tactics and finally won :) even malenia wasnt that hard compared to isshin
I think to this day Isshin is a perfect example of how to make a boss incredibly challenging yet also incredibly satisfying to beat. I probably died to him like 30 times, but literally each time I retried I got just ever so slightly better and could see why I had failed each time before. Despite being absurdly tough, he’s definitely a completely fair boss that doesn’t pull BS tactics or have some glitchy weirdness that gets unearned kills on you. But yeah, I also had to take year break before I had the patience to beat him! 😅
I got stuck on the giant monkey man and gave up, unfortunately I will probably never get back to it, but I do love the aesthetics of Sekiro.
@@alexgame3357 "unfortunately I will probably never get back to it" well not with that attitude you wont! idk personally it took me two and a half tries to finally get into sekiro before it clicked and it was so worth it. ninja rhythm game with swords and shit. man what a good concept.
I personally didn't think isshin was difficult as some put him up to be, by the end of the game you should have every tool to beat him, he is kind of like an amalgamation of everything you've been taught throughout the game reflected into a boss.. he is a great boss though top 10 in gaming imo
@@WinterLantern. now, now, don't get your panties in a twist.
I am looking forward to listening to your experience on the darkest dungeon.
I've played some truly excrutiatingly hard titles over my years of gaming and its extremely rare that I subject myself to attempt 100%'ing them.
Of the games I have 100%'d I'd probably go with Dark Souls 1, mostly because getting into Dark Souls at release without playing Demons Souls beforehand felt like a real paradigm shift in gaming - one that caught me off guard by how it felt like a return to form to the difficulty you would expect of games in the 80's/90's. I bounced off DS1 3 times before it completely consumed me and it's still on my Mount Rushmore of games.
Battletoads on the nes is my claim to fame 😂
Lies of P is a fantastic game, it is really focused in the type of gameplay I already go for in all of FromSoft games but I can understand many people are not like me in that sense. On the other hand UnderRail is one of the toughest min/max crpgs I've ever tried. You get filtered quickly. Not for the faint of heart.
Underrail Heavy Duty just released Nov 1st - seems small, but I’d love to see a video on it!
Great video!
Ah Underrail. Yeah the pain is real. Knight of the Chalice 2 is another one where if your party is not right and your characters not optimised, very very very hard!
Beating underrail blind on rhe highest difficulty was probably the most challenging and rewarding experience ive had in 40 years of gaming. Cant reccomend it enough.
A20 in Slay the Spire took me as long to complete as all other ascension levels up till then combined. I've still only managed it with the defect. The needed combined amount of skill and luck is just crazy.
For me the most difficult thing in any video game that I have grinded my face against for hours is the Pantheon of Hallownest all bindings.
I can not beat it, I want to, but I'm just not able.
Battle Brothers. Unforgiving combat. Unforgiving economics. No hand holding. The only good news is, like Darkest Dungeon, if you get wiped, you can *probably* rebuild if you can be patient.
Currently on my playthrough of POTD Tyranny, and I just don't have a mental capacity for it, lmao. I really enjoy pushing the limits in many games (I have The Ultimate achievement in Pillars of Eternity, for example), but Tyranny is a completely different beast. Even fights in side missions in Act 1 are extremely difficult if you don't abuse every single mechanic in the game. But, at the same time, I do think it's actually a great challenge for me, even though very frustraiting.
It drops off after Act 1
Mort please check out Tales of Maj'eyal!! I feel like it'll be right up your alley. Of course you can't 100% it because it has like 2-3k achievements but it's still really fun!
I'm still amused that they managed to rename this from "Tales of Middle Earth".
Absolutely second this!
good content, keep it up
the hardest game I've beaten and got 100% are Dark souls 2 (also got the 2 infamous illusory rings of champion and exalted), Dragon Quest 11 100% with All (draconian options on), Bloodborne, Dragon Dogma in the hardest difficulty (this game is surprisingly hard), and my proudest 100% game achievement is 100% completion in Ghost Mode of Ghost recon wildlands
Some good games there Morty son! 100%íng them certainly increases the difficulty somewhat 😂❤ 💀
When I heard someone talking about difficult games.... I think there must be Underrail too.😄
Love the game soo much. Best game ever for me.
FTL. One of those rare games where getting to the final boss is an achievement in its own right. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.
Akumu difficulty in the Evil Within is pure madness. Every hit kills you. Even normal difficulty is hard as nails.
fr. So much so that the sequel even recommends hard if you beat the first game on normal lol
I didn't think Celeste was too difficult to finish the main game, but goddamn, the road to 100% was insane at times.
I still haven't beat Celeste's last lvl. I must have 5+ hours on it. Done all the C sides and yet the Farewell is still there
Ah man I remember the Underrail final boss, you get locked in to an area you can't leave and it's really easy to die. I used cheat engine to become invisible and kill the last boss. Hopefully they've changed it since I first played back in 2015.
My hardest plat was probably The Evil Within. I did Akumu Mode + No Upgrades in a single run. Hellish but satisfying, couple points I thought were impossible.
Underrail is pretty great :3
Have you played Sekiro? That game made me rage quit about 10 hours in. Came back later and 100% completed it. It's now one of my favorite souls games. Great game to learn parrying with, since it's absolutely neccesairy haha
Interesting timing for this video. Are you going to complete the new DLC that just released for Underrail?
No plans
I have played Witcher 2 on the hardest difficulty. I also battled with horrible FPS frames, the worst was 10-15 frames whenever i loaded on the Undead field (when collecting the ingredients for the ritual, the Dun Banner etc). I remember i did a lot of rolling and that i was lucky on Witcher 2's superboss, the Imperator (superboss mage with 2 gargoyles underneath Loc Muinne). Somehow i could momentarily heal after i killed a Gargoyle. I remember i was feeling inspired from the training arena & Witcher's intro mission, so i decided i would play hard difficulty, preparing with potions for the encounter. I wouldnt do it in Witcher 3, because its a much bigger game. IMO hard W3 would be easier to beat than hard W2, because the open world can make you tackle the problems at your pace. In a sense, that also is true with W2 but there are just not that many leveling options or options for armor as opposed to W3.
Loved lies of p. Its my favorite souls game.
One game i just couldnt platinum was devil may cry 5. I was determined to get it, unlocked hell and hell difficulty, and was just like "nah". You can def cheese nero and dante mission, but the v missions... Oh boy
I was playing and LOVING lies of p and then I reached (i think) the 4th or 5th boss and could not get even close to beating its second phase. It made me uninstall the game which was really disappointing. Then they released a patch and I redownloaded it, beat that boss, and went on to keep loving it. Not sure if anyone else had this experience?
I really like the game overall, but I bailed on the second black rabbit brotherhood fight. Why they thought it was a good idea to not only put that fight in the game in the first place, but make you slog through it TWICE is easily the worst design choice that otherwise very well made game has.
Miasma Chronicles was a surprise W this year
So far I'm up to act 6 in Lies of P and each boss only took me 1-2 tries expect for the Mad Clown Puppet which took me about 30 attempts purely because I would run out of Stamina and would be unable to dodge causing me to get hit by a 6 hit combo
Hi Mortim, I'm a recent sub of yours (started watching when Baldur's Gate came out), and I like that you 100% your games before reviewing them. It has somewhat inspired me to start 100 percenting them myself, but I was wondering if you had any advice for when you're grinding through tedium and want to move on? For instance, I beat every boss in Dark Souls 3 recently which I'm proud of myself for, but I'm somewhat dreading have to go back through the game and pick up items that I might have missed or grinding for the covenant rewards.
I want to 100% it like I did for Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen, but there are also so many other games that I want to play (Diablo 4, Lunacid, Last Faith, etc.) I'm afraid that if I move-on, I won't have the motivation to come back.
Well this is my job, so for me its usually just the equivalent of a work day spent doing things you dont necessarily want to do. Though I enjoy doing this a lot more than my previous jobs so thats a good motivator
Thanks for the response! Yeah, that makes LOL. It does feel somewhat like a job for me to 100% - perhaps I should treat it like that too, so if I'm feeling burned out, I shouldn't pressure myself too much and come back to it when I have the gumption. I have the luxury of games being just my hobby after all :)@@MortismalGaming
If your having a hard time getting the perfect parry timing down in LoP... play Lords of the Fallen... The pasty windows are very generous and also when you do a quick step dodge and you're rolling ever has a generous amount of I-Frames for youth room abuse.
I put 2,800hrs in Bloodborne on the PS4 back in 2018-2019...I was a regular in the robust PvP fight club scene... Bloodborne for me is the greatest game ever made for me.... Lies of P launched a masterpiece imo, played like a spiritual successor three quarter parts Bloodborne (with the game mechanics that influenced Lies of P from both Bloodborne health regen promotes aggressive play, combat mechanics, level design, etc...and one quarter part Sekiro, with the mechanical arm attachments )
2 Years ago u quoted Pathfinder: WOTR as "This was easily the most challenging 100% I've completed to date." Man oh man that game is insane.
Witcher 2 was really, really difficult at launch. It got a patch after a month or so where it really lowered difficulty. Playing normal at launch and Dark difficulty post the patch felt exactly the same.
Wircher 2 is on my list, the 360 list only requires Dark difficulty but the lack of good info been making me put it off
My hardest game ever - and I never finished it - was Commando on ZX Spectrum and of course....Tetris :P
I just finished lies of P and I enjoyed it. I noticed it just had an update a day or two ago. However, the parry is not consistent at all. I've been through sekiro and wo long where the parry is fine.
Hi @Mortym. Please try Xcom series. I tried it highest difficulty settings. Like you I reloaded it multiple times because of RNG that if I didn't the enemy first time I'm gonna die. Even if the chance was 98% like WTF hahah.
Blackguards, game had several almost unreasonable difficulty spikes.
Deflecting in Lies of P is very satisfying, but the window is very unforgiving. I genuinely find Sekiro much easier simply to the fact that the deflecting window is much larger. For Lies of P, I don't find it to be necessarily a huge problem against bosses since you can just retry them over and over until you get the timings down, but it's pretty lame against strong mobs, who are so annoying to fight sometimes that it's often just better to ignore them. This with the fact that you take a ton of damage through regular blocks...
I have never beaten Divinity Original Sin 2 because of the insane difficulty spike in the final act, even on the default difficulty.
Your comment about not having time essentially increasing difficulty rings so true for me.
So many games I got stuck and just gave up on because of a busy life. It took me 3 different tries over a year to get into and beat Dark Souls for instance.
I didnt think Witcher 2 was all that bad, it had a few frustrating parts. Miasma Chronicles though, I loved that game until coming across my first BIG fight, something like 10 against 3, they could all one-shot any member of my team, meanwhile, IF I hit them, it still took 3-4 turns to take out a single guy. This wasn't even the hardest difficulty. Fights up until that point were a nice challenge. Haven't played it since.
Good show sir
Yeah UnderRail can be really brutal unless your build (gear and perks) is almost perfect and you know how to deal with the situations - I still don't know how to deal properly with crawlers even after beating the game twice and with expansion. It also helps that Styg (dev) gave up and put the automap in the game. Imagine playing old version and getting lost in the dark tunnels with no map...
Apparently Age of Decadence is not that difficulty? Succesful speech checks ain't win buttons there...
Wonder how you can handle older Wizardry games - not just those on sales (Steam/GOG) but also Wizardry 4 , which is one of the hardest RPGs in the history.
I was one of those degens that styg made fun of with al-fabet where I spent HOURS hauling stuff to sell. I learned the pre-map map and now I get lost in the tunnels after the map changes LOL (the old map made no sense geometrically apparently and had to be changed).
Re crawlers: spam molotov (fire breaks stealth), u can even back up to a wall/corner and molotov in front of u. Also spam flares.
@@pengindoramu used both and still didn't work most of the time
Hmm Age of Decadence has multiple playthroughs though, and each origin story makes for a wildly different experience.
So i'm guessing for Wizardry games, Mortym would use the knowledge of those others before him, the ones that found what is the optimal party composition.
Other than that, if Wizardry 4 would be released today, it would be down to the achievements available. Probably Wizardry wouldnt have many hard achievements, due to the nature of the game (its already hard or rather your party can get wiped, thus the possibility of failure). So not many hard achievemenets, unless they wanted a timesink, like many roguelikes do.
Assassin's Creed games (Brotherhood through Syndicate with the exception of Unity). Those were the most difficult games for me to at least attempt 100% (for me, 100% is collectibles, side quests, things like that). Now, I have 90-100% completion on most of them. The only ones I don't I either couldn't get into (Unity), could get into but didn't like (Rogue) or recognized I probably wasn't good enough to get everything (Black Flag). I don't attempt 100% with every game I play. I'm not the type of gamer who likes playing games on hard.
I always end up leaving games, can you recommend a game like divinity original sin that are more easy to start out with.
Nothing quite like it, but Id say give Wasteland 3 a go
The game of life
Miasma is tough. Almost no room for mistakes. Scarce equipment...
Hollow knight the god pantheon was a nightmare, but in the end i finished it, it just took me 1 year.😅
This is a bit cheaty, but Fallout 4 is the only game on console with mod support that I’ve ever had. You can ramp up the difficulty to your liking.
Also cheaty, are challenge runs. But I want to shout out Dark Souls 2, for rewarding players with unique rings after completing the game under certain conditions. It’s just nice to know that a permadeath run has a tangible reward, and you can even show it off to your friends as proof.
I totally agree with Lies of P, I just cannot parry even though I've beat all the Souls games
Witcher 2 was weird, the combat was difficult around Flotsam, most mobs one shot you like but the latter portion of the game is super easy.
aliens dark descent; I couldn't get credit for all the datapads, even though I meticulously collected them all! So frustrating.
Will you review the new underrail dlc?
No plans
blade the edge of darkness gorenity mod installed ofc
For reference: I've 100%ed all recent Fromsoft games and The Binding of Isaac. IMO by far the hardest to 100% are Rockstar games. I won't even bother.
Yeah, about Lies of P, it's a rough one for me. It's a game I absolutely LOVE with all my heart for its setting, and visuals, and unique weapons and combat mechanics... yet I am so bad at parrying it's heartbraking. The very same issue blocked me completely in Sekiro (and it was such a hard time to let go that game as well... similar to Lies of P, I adore the world, the combat, the very soul of the game's brilliant art style, the story & narrative... but I can't get into the combat, even with cheats enabled. It's just not my thing), and when I played the demo a few months ago I was torn apart.
The game that I was so excited about turned out to be yet another Sekiro in disguise... that over-reliance and focus on parrying is most certainly not for me since I could never improve my reaction time neither in Sekiro nor in Lies of P demo, and I think it's just not possible to improve at (I do believe this isn't something as easily trained as, say, dodging - so 'gitting gud' is not an option really).
(And after that I started to wait for LOTF (2023) even more... just to be disappointed once again with its floaty weightless combat/character movement which I find so lacking in weight and impact, that LOTF (2023) feels (and plays) worse than LOTF (2014) where (despite all the flaws of the original) I really enjoyed the slow bulky feel of Harkin's impactful blows, and clunky rolls really helped to make the game feel extremely satisfying when I finally learned how to play it properly using the STR build)
I've given this video another watch and that bit about Lies of P and enemies/bosses with staggered attack animations or weird delays meant to bait parries or dodges is way too true. It's one of the cheaper forms of difficulty to exist in that genre of games. I know FromSoft has been doing it in their games lately, but I really wish other game companies who decide to take notes from them wouldn't copy the delayed/staggered attack animations.
Vermintide 2, Alien fireteam is probably the hardest 100% I have
I found mutant tear zero FAR harder than miasma chronicles. Admittedly I have a lot of time in MC planning attacks . You have way more resources than in MYZ where you had to hoard your scrap and could get screwed if you bought the wrong things
No matter how much ANYBODY tries to convince me, the undisputed hardest game OAT is Nioh. I played all these games listed in this video and not a single game came close to how hard Nioh was for me, if you don’t know what to do and want an absolute beast of a challenge then look no more because Nioh will do more than just deliver
What's the game on the intro?
I know Dragons Dogma is by no means the hardest game to get 100% achievements on but by the time I'd done everything besides the DLC and level 200 I was so burnt out. Also because of how underexplained some quests are and how there are multiple times you can miss many of them, I had to do many playthroughs. Also in Yakuza 0 I hated having to learn how to play majong to 100% it. Maybe i'm a brainlet but the entire time i was frustrated.
Did you finish sekiro? It’s my favorite “souls like”
Sekiro was the hardest game I’ve done. Not completed but all I have left is easy in comparison to that final fight. Took me 4h30 to win.
I'd say pick a Wizardy, but i'm biased to 7 and 8. A sadomachochistic experience.
One game that surprised me with how easy it was ended up being Baldur's Gate 3.
I suppose the years of playing with the system just lead to that ...
BG3 isnt focused on being super challenging, its more about the roleplaying than anything else
Fun fact about Witcher 2 insane difficulty - save scumming did not work. Any backup saves did not work - if you died, even backup saves in other directories/folders did not work. There was a probably way around that, but simple backup of save did not work
Underrail has a new DLC out, with machine guns and grenade launchers, new feats, ect... I've sunk hundreds of hours into it over the years, but i cant wait to replay it, I've never had a run that panned out the same in many encounters.
I relate so much to having troubles with Parrying. I've beaten Elden Ring and DS3 and I barely used parries since they were just so hard for me.
Oddly enough tho, Sekiro is still my fave Fromsoft combat. Idk why the parry there just feels so good, but I suspect it's related to how rhythmic parries are there.
Where the vid for the witcher 2 run?
Whats that game in the intro?❤️
