What bothered me about this top ten countdown and most others that include Super Mario the Lost Levels, is that they fail to mention Super Mario Bros Deluxe, I GameBoy color release of the original game, and once beating that, you unlock the lost levels. Most people don't acknowledge it.
I remember playing Battle Toads with all my friends in Grade 3. This one kid managed to waste 5 weeks trying to beat that damn speed run that everyone got stuck on. He came back from Summer Holidays with a Polaroid of him completing the level. He was never forgotten about.
When I was a young kid I spent hours mastering F zero GX and "got good". I also spent a lot of time playing melee and is why I know where capt. falcon is from.
@@gamerlife4276 in my defense, I have over 1000 hours between demons souls, souls 1 2 and 3 and all platinum trophies for them... I guess you could say I made those games my bitch
@@jamestsoukalas5941 My friend told me about Sekiro when it came out and before that I hadn't touched a Souls game and barely seen any real gameplay. I beat Sekiro with sweat and blood and then my friend told me that Ds1 is a must. I tried that and gave up in the undead burg but he convinced me to keep going after a week. I hadn't played anything as hard as Ds1 so I decided to binge the whole series and Bloodborne (just finished today actually). My friends all ask me which one is the hardest and I think that it depends on which one people start first. After playing all of them (or some of them a few times) the game becomes essentially a rhythm game and it can be super easy on most bosses but saying Dark souls is easy is kind of a stretch. Its easy to someone with 1000 hours and heck its even easy for me who has a total of around 30 hours per game. Its definitely hard on your first playthrough and all of the bosses are usually hard the first time but if you can learn quick its possible to, as you said, "make them your bitch"
Dark Souls is a difficult game, but only in comparison to other modern games - whose core design philosophies are made to allow anyone to beat them. Dark Souls requires patience and repetition, like old NES era type games, but compared to them... it'd only be "average-hard".
Anyone who says that Dark Souls "isn't difficult compared to old games" and "is just repetitive block and attack gameplay" has clearly never played the game.
Nick Hippen Is this in response to me? I never said that second statement, so don't put words into my mouth. Dark Souls is one of my favorite games of all time, but its difficulty is ridiculously overstated.
The hardest game I ever played was real life You only have one life No powerups, potions, spelles, ect. Some people just want to kill you Punishments Once you die, the game is over and deleted Edit 7/25/23: why is this still getting replies lol
IRL is so hard you have to use reality checks if your dying which are so rare and to stay popular you are constantly changing the gameplay and there is no way to fast travel until you are sixteen unless you get the Western version
Here's the thing; In my eyes there are two types of hard: Adaptable: A game in which at first you are brutally murdered until you are accustomed to the games design and are aware of how to deal with enemies normally. Games like this may include Devil may Cry 3, Super Meat Boy and Dark Souls. Trial and Error: A game that is bad and hard by design in which you must memorize the worst parts in order to succeed. Games like this may include: Super Mario Bros. 2: Lost Levels and the original Ghouls and Goblins.
If you are looking for an "adaptable" game, look for roguelikes, where the levels are randomly generated and where it's permadeath. I recommend spelunky and the binding of Isaac (I know you didn't ask, but if you ARE looking...)
Clearly WatchMojo rarely played NES Titles with Silver Surfer,Dragons Lair,Double Dragon 3 and The Karate Kid all of those were harder than Dark Souls. Come on now.
+DisneyEndings I would rather have the difficulty in the games not be from poor design. Silver Surfer is unfair because they give you no room for error on minor things like walls. That's not hard, that's just stupid. That's like saying Tetris is the most impossible game because it never ends unless you do score attack. Dragon's Lair was not hard, it was tedious platforming much like Out of this world.
i actually beat battletoads when i was younger, that tunnel level was absolutely maddening. had to memorize that thing for a long time to finally get past it.
I don't know why some people keep saying that Dark Souls is the one of the hardest games ever made. It's a challenging and punishing game don't get me wrong, but it isn't as hard as some people say when you just pay attention and use STRATEGY! I guess gamers think this game is extremely hard because many of today's games are way too forgiving.
Yeah, although my friend and I did get to share a laugh. It was taking him FOREVER to beat two common monsters that kill him in 2 hits... only for him to find out that he went the wrong way and walked into a high level area.
people only consider it hard because they cant just pop the game in and start killing bosses. you need to learn, strategize, and soul grind before you can take on bosses.
Kylee Smalley and even that enemy (i think you talk about skeleton)you can kill them at lvl 1...you can kill all bosses and complete the game without armor and lvl...because is the way the game work: you know how to parry, backstab and stay carefull you win.
I agree. I'd rather play Dark Souls any day over some of the old NES titles. I had a harder time with their honorable mentions than I had with Dark Souls.
The most funniest thing about this video is the comment section. With people naming easy games as hard: LoZ:OoT, Kingdom Hearts, Mirrors edge, Jak 2, Turok 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, etc.... wow. You guys must really suck at playing video games. I'm just amazed at how people have gotten soft in recent years, when it comes to difficulty.lol
LoZ OoT has the water temple. Which isn't that hard, but it is possible to screw up the locked doors in a way that makes it impossible to beat. THAT is what pissed me off over, and over, and over... But yeah, other than that it really wasn't that hard. Majora's mask was a bit more challenging though.
M A IN I A C One thing is games that were designed as hard games because the devs did not know other thing (main reason why the NES games usually are ungodly hard), and another one is putting games made explicitly to be impossible, with cheap deaths and stiff controls intentionally. Battletoads is a "naturally" hard game. IWBTG is an "artificially" hard game (so to speak)
Dark Souls isn't really hard, UNLESS you learn how each enemy works, and how each attack works. Deaths correlate to you learning. That's what makes Dark Souls so amazing. The true learning curve of the game is why you love it and the need of overcoming the obstacle.
DS is a "hard" game for most due to the lack of hand holding. DS is one of those games that pretty much pays you to be cautious and wary. All the traps and pitfalls are avoidable. Kinda reminds me of the "Tale of two adventurers" video. Though, I do admit, getting into Anor Londo waa the tough part, and after that, obtaining the Lord Souls is the real challenge.
I think touhou should have been on it. On one of the games, to get a good ending, you have to go through on normal or higher mode without dying once. And on another, you have a certain time limit for each level to get a good ending
I've never even played I wanna be that guy but from the speed runs I've watched (yes speed runs where the player doesn't die and gets everything right) that game looks incredibly hard
First, bullshit artificial difficulty, the games on the list dont have (just extreme skill requirements) The traps on that game are impossible to predict. Second, no released games so I dont think they qualify for the list.
Jegue Perneta I absolutely agree. Without all the dark worldy and cotton alley stuff, it only takes about 12 hours to beat dr. fetus from having known absolutely nothing about the game.
You just need to aim down your sights. If you aim down your sights, you will be more acurate, because you will be aiming down yout sights. Aim down your sights beforse shooting. Aim down your sights,because aiming down your sights makes you aim down your sights.
The hardest games I've beaten so far (by no means the hardest ever, but I can't rate what I haven't played) 4. Donkey Kong Country Returns/Tropical Freeze (K levels) 3. Hollow Knight (late game and path of pain) 2. Adventure of Link (pretty much the whole game) 1. Celeste (the B-sides and C-sides)
There is something even harder than I Wanna Be The Guy, Kaizo Mario World, a Super Mario World rom hack that can kill you at the beginning of the hack. Don't believe me? Watch some videos on it. Don't Starve is pretty hard too, pretty much anything will kill, even darkness.
***** You make a good point, but there probably are some people out there that can flawlessly run through Kaizo World witout save states. I'm not one of those people.
There are much harder games out there... this is the problem with WatchMojo; they don't know about things that are not popular. None of these games have anything on I Wanna Be the Guy.
It's probably that they made this for the average public. It's not made for a bunch of gamer nerds who look at this list through their coke bottle glasses and scoff because it doesn't include some obscure game that 3 people on Earth know about.
MrHauf85 You play IWBTG and tell me you can see whats coming. I wanna be the guy, its, die, get past one obsical, just to die on another obstical that you never would have seen coming unless you died.
crazynuttyperson1234 yeah i have played it and it´s not harder the battletoads, might be a reason that IWBTG didn´t make the list and battletoads did, and maybe your not that skilled at video games
@@epg581 hello im talking about all extreme demons CUZ A LEVEL CALL BLOODLUST WAS VERIFIED IN 1.5 YEARS AND REMEMBER ITS JUST 1 EXTREME DEMONS WHAT ABOUT THE HARDEST LEVEL ZODIAC MANY PEOPLE TOOK LIKE 100,000 ATTEMPTS TO FINISH THESE LEVELS BRO
Funny thing about battletoads is that Turbo Tunnel is like 6th hardest stage in game. Hard game yet last boss is very easy you can literally beat her on first try .
Honestly, turbo tunnel does not do justice to how hard the game is. I can beat it fairly easily, but I cannot for the life of me get past level 9. Those g****** ducks!
+UltraMc _ I started playing Battletoads a couple weeks ago and can get to Level 8 at this point. It's good to know I have so much to look forward to...
I can't even get past level 2. T~T That little tunnel under the squid where there's spikes on the top and bottom and only a one unit space to swim through was literally impossible to figure out. Not even backtracking helped.
honestly dark souls isn't hard. it's the damn pvp that gets you. in the first playthrough, the only major threats are a select few bosses until you understand how to kill them, and all playthroughs after that you already know how every enemy moves and where it's weak spot is. that being said, those damnded silver knights on the ledge outside the castle pissed me off.
yeah its the people who don't like a challenge and then whine about it that blows it out of proportion the game it self is amazing and even the pvp can be great if you don't get a troll, gankers, or a lagspike (including people that use lag switches on console).
Tropic Pugs It's not that dark souls is overly hard, but it takes patience and observation to figure out the best way to fight enemies. Compared to a game like Skyrim where you just stand in one spot and smash a weapon, there is a level of fines that most people find trying. When I first started playing Dark Souls it was a disaster, but once I got a hand of the controls and just how tight the combat system was it got much easier.
razaelll Sadly true. I'm not good in those hard games but I saerch them beacause they are challenging and it's something you really have to practice a bit before playing through it. Well, osu! on insane was too hard for me, can't even get through the songs on medium.
anas moukhliss and top 10 hardest game with highest difficuly x,X some games really become impossible! Unless..unless you pass 1 year and all days to do this xD luck will happen somewhere...a good example is : Shadow of Rome ...
I'd love to see another F-Zero game come out. Heck if Nintendo just remade GX in HD with online 30 person race multiplayer, and 4 player racing with the ability to add in 26 computer players, I'd call it the best racing game ever made.
missing out on a great game....i sought a challenge in gaming due to the garbage disposible games that have 5 hour easy campaigns out there...dark souls was a good challenge and an endurance/frustration game.
This video proves that they no longer make those fantastic, hard to beat, lasting for yeaaars of playing, games... Nowadays we have a shitty 3d games which can be finished in hours. 2D rocks and as I said - this vid proves it.You don't need fancy polished graphics with thousands of pixels and textures to enjoy a game. AC Unity proved my theory. I enjoyed my childhood with Mario Bros, Contra, Pacman... etc. Greetings from Poland to all gamers.
I've been playing the Elder Scrolls series of games for years. Not boring, not tedious, and definitely not easy (unless you set it as so, then it'd be your own darn fault). Play Skyrim on Legendary and finish the main story line. In the wise words of Yoda, "Years you will play, young Jedi". And greetings from NY in the US to all you crazy Polish gamers : )
I agree with you my friend :) I didn't say ALL of the 3d games aren't worth playing. :) But I still think that 2d games are harder to beat than most of todays 3d :)
iambiggus Oblivion,Skyrim,Dark souls 1 and 2 I love them all oh and if you want to make Skyrim harder then the highest difficulty Get a mod called SkyTweak you can change anything about the game from damage % to armor defense/rating.
I think the hardest game, which isn't total trash, would be I wanna kill the Kamilia 3, but sadly, that it isn't so popular, but it is way harder than all of these games =/
Zanis Zanis Agree. Kamilia 3 is probably right at the edge of manageable enough for a good chunk of people to beat it. If it was just slightly harder I think it'd be only beatable by a few hardcore players who spend hundreds of hours on it. I also consider Kamilia 3 the hardest good game there is.
1) difficulty is subjective 2) (linked to 1) difficulty depends on your favourite genre, for example if you are specialized in bullet hell probably you will find hard playing in a fps arena 3) difficulty can means how many times you die, how hard you can find hard the system of gameplay, how little stimulating the game can be. It's always a question of points of view 4) generally *rage games* like Cat Mario or Golfing Over It are considered most difficult games beacuse the gameplay doesn't stimulate the player and the """""fun""""" isn't enough to compensate the difficulty and furthermore because every single level is well studied in order to predict every player's moves, soooo good luck boys
Zachariah Adul there's this saying: if you can beat Touhou on Lunatic difficulty, you can beat the rain. if the rain is color-coded and you have a teeny-tiny hitbox.
Demon's Souls was much harder than Dark souls. There were no bonfires... you had to complete a full level and beat a boss on 1 try. Farm-able grasses (life items) made it a little easier in some ways than the limited estus flask, but it really didn't matter as using these items mid battle was difficult.
For ME: Dark Souls. Do you know what I did, After I tried to beat any of the bosses, I get so close to the until I die from it because it was hard. It got me pissed. So pissed I smashed the disk with a hammer, and vowed to never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER, play the game again!! GOD I HATED IT!!!!!!
When Dark Souls places over Ghouls n' Ghosts, you know your list just fucked up. And Battletoads isn't nearly as hard solo, even I've beaten the tunnel level and i'm just a scrublord.
I really don't get why people bash a list because "they got it wrong! Q.Q" when it's entirely their opinion. Remember, this is WatchMojo's Ten Hardest, not yours or mine. Oh, and since my multi-managing skills aren't that great, I can't even beat StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty on Normal even though every other mission prior to Char was relatively simple.
Watchmojo you guys gotta play the Super Star Wars games on Super NES. Super Empire Strikes back is an INSANELY difficult game and I have no idea why it's never mentioned in ANY list of the hardest games of all time.
Haven't played alot of the ones on WatchMojo's list. These are the hardest games I've played. 10. Dragon's Dogma 9. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link 8. Contra (beat it) 7. Castlevania 6. F-Zero X 5. Ninja Gaiden Black 4. Dark Souls 3. Rayman 2 2. Rayman 1. Ninja Gaiden (Original NES Trilogy)
Take it from me as somebody who has played both Ninja Gaiden Black and Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden is way more challenging and rewarding than dark souls. Disappointed to see Dark souls higher on the list obviously due to its popularity and everybody that worships it just because it's a little challenging. I think anybody else who has played Ninja Gaiden can side with me on this one.
i can agree i gave up on ninja gaiden. im a casual lol. im gonna buy it and beat it eventually though. which ninja gaiden do u think is the hardest ive heard many say black is the hardest. then others say the original is the hardest.
Prince Ashitaka I'm not for sure. I've beaten Ninja Gaiden Black on the hardest difficulty. (took many months). However, I have only played Ninja Gaiden I and II for the NES and I haven't beaten them simply because I just didn't put enough time into it. I feel like both games are very challenging in their own ways but I'm gonna have to say Ninja Gaiden Black edges out the originals just a little bit.
then how can you make that statement with out actually beating the NES versions ? the whole NG series is fucking brutal, i beat NG 2 on master ninja myself, it took many months but those NES versions are in a league of its own
***** Just from playing the NES versions for probably a total of a week or two, I just think Ninja gaiden black is a little harder, at least on master ninja. on normal - very hard I think that the NES games have it beat.
Prince Kai um, no. I mean you cannot say that Undertale is a hard game just bc of the two genocide route bosses. True Touhou is hard in general and Undertale is easy.
+ProtoManZero ShadowStarX if you think undertale is easy download the game and play The genocide route see if you can beat sans without losing a health
Gamalol Gamalol well I've already beaten both pacifist and genocide. Sans was hard, yes. Same with Undyne the Undying. And I once did a no-hit run on the first half of the Sans fight. (before the fake spare) Also a game being easy =/= easy to perfect run. True the second half of the Sans fight is quite hard because aside from the anti-gravity attack and the final non-special attack, everything is random.
Revenge of Shinobi on the Sega Genisis I remember being pretty hard although I only played it a couple times when i was little and I only got past the first level.
Castlevania III isn't that hard if you just go the Syfa route and blast everything with magic. Even Dracula is a chump if you've got Syfa. If you go the Alucard route, on the other hand... yeah, the game is insanely difficult.
@@Seoulwanderer I actually found the Alucard route to be easier since there are a lot of areas that can be cheesed with his bat form. But yeah Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse should've been on here imo, the last two levels nearly made me tear my hair out of frustration on my first playthrough
My personal top 10 hardest games I have ever played: - Bayonetta - Ninja Gaiden 2 - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - Contra - Dark Souls - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - The Binding of Isaac Rebirth - Double Dragon -Perfect Dark - Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
thepeoplehateu Oh no I died. Just most people make another character because they messed up on their first playthrough. I on the other hand beat it with my first ever made character because I chose stats that were suited to my playstyle, which I easily beat it.
first try in souls means nothing ..... its not that hard to beat if you just go from boss to boss and not worry about sidequests ... and how long did this first playthrough of yours take ? :)
For people saying Dark souls isn't ''hard'' it is for the generic cod duty gamers and players who don't have the patience to really get into the game. I'm telling of all the games i've played DS1 and DS2 were the most rewarding, most fun game experiences i've ever had.
I had mostly just played shooter games before dark souls and the second I started playing I noticed it getting easy, it isn't a case of learning the game it is a case of playing the game like back in the old days
Well, it might make sense. Gamers who have cleared a ton of hard games might go and start looking for more, and a solid place to look for difficulty impressions is UA-cam!
rule of every megaman game:
easy = normal
normal = hard
hard = ARE YOU F*CKING INSANE!?
uh no

Beating Battletoads with 2 players is a feat people should put on resumés. And interviewers should take it into consideration.
Silver Surfer for NES is the pinnacle of difficulty. Time for a REDO of this list!
Even the legendary Avgn didn't beat it
Here's the thing; In my eyes there are two types of hard:
Adaptable: A game in which at first you are brutally murdered until you are accustomed to the games design and are aware of how to deal with enemies normally. Games like this may include Devil may Cry 3, Super Meat Boy and Dark Souls.
Trial and Error: A game that is bad and hard by design in which you must memorize the worst parts in order to succeed. Games like this may include: Super Mario Bros. 2: Lost Levels and the original Ghouls and Goblins.
If you are looking for an "adaptable" game, look for roguelikes, where the levels are randomly generated and where it's permadeath. I recommend spelunky and the binding of Isaac (I know you didn't ask, but if you ARE looking...)
Watchmojo: Does not put touhou in
Touhou: Looks like they cannot doge rain during a thunder storm
I'm not a gamer by any means, but it makes me feel good to know that Battle toads, and Contra were actually hard games and I didn't just suck.
Haven't watched video, predicting Dark Souls.
Called it.
MrNachosniper it was in the thumbnail.. *slow claps* good job
thanks bud i try
it isnt even a hard game, just a strong learning curve, and if you just use your brain you can beat it.
FrozenSprite I'm just going to sit here and guess you built a strength offtank build with a heavy shield that can block any attack.
Clearly WatchMojo rarely played NES Titles with Silver Surfer,Dragons Lair,Double Dragon 3 and The Karate Kid all of those were harder than Dark Souls. Come on now.
Karate Kid is by NO means a hard game. I beat that game in 15 minutes as kid, no problem.
+DisneyEndings Are you sure you just weren't that good at them? Because WatchMojo has included some pretty obscure games before.
+EC Legomon silver surfer is insanely hard
Why don't you make your OWN top 10 list?
+DisneyEndings I would rather have the difficulty in the games not be from poor design. Silver Surfer is unfair because they give you no room for error on minor things like walls. That's not hard, that's just stupid. That's like saying Tetris is the most impossible game because it never ends unless you do score attack. Dragon's Lair was not hard, it was tedious platforming much like Out of this world.
hardest game for me : inserting a thread into the needle..
😂 Lol
😁😁😁
i actually beat battletoads when i was younger, that tunnel level was absolutely maddening. had to memorize that thing for a long time to finally get past it.
I don't know why some people keep saying that Dark Souls is the one of the hardest games ever made.
It's a challenging and punishing game don't get me wrong, but it isn't as hard as some people say when you just pay attention and use STRATEGY! I guess gamers think this game is extremely hard because many of today's games are way too forgiving.
its more than strategy, unless u build ur character up to the point where he can tank u can still be killed very quickly.
Yeah, although my friend and I did get to share a laugh. It was taking him FOREVER to beat two common monsters that kill him in 2 hits... only for him to find out that he went the wrong way and walked into a high level area.
people only consider it hard because they cant just pop the game in and start killing bosses. you need to learn, strategize, and soul grind before you can take on bosses.
Kylee Smalley
and even that enemy (i think you talk about skeleton)you can kill them at lvl 1...you can kill all bosses and complete the game without armor and lvl...because is the way the game work: you know how to parry, backstab and stay carefull you win.
I agree. I'd rather play Dark Souls any day over some of the old NES titles. I had a harder time with their honorable mentions than I had with Dark Souls.
The most funniest thing about this video is the comment section. With people naming easy games as hard: LoZ:OoT, Kingdom Hearts, Mirrors edge, Jak 2, Turok 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, etc.... wow. You guys must really suck at playing video games. I'm just amazed at how people have gotten soft in recent years, when it comes to difficulty.lol
I know right? I can understand some of them but Batman Arkham Asylum?! Really?
LoZ OoT has the water temple. Which isn't that hard, but it is possible to screw up the locked doors in a way that makes it impossible to beat. THAT is what pissed me off over, and over, and over... But yeah, other than that it really wasn't that hard. Majora's mask was a bit more challenging though.
I loved Mirror edge! and i died a few times but it wasn't that hard, but a really good game.
Kingdom harts was only boring... the only difficulty was not falling asleep while playing it XD
Coarjester the only thing in kingdom hearts tht was really hard is if u took the time to fight the secret bosses they were stupidly hard for me

Battletoads: NOT TDAY!
Cmon i finished battletoads :3
They need to remake this top
Battletoads! YOU HAD TO BRING OUT MY SCARRED MEMORIES OF BATTLETOADS!
what do you expect,they are talking About hard games,battletoads is very hard right?
Cole Lapp
No. Commander Keen is hard.
BATTLETOADS IS IMPOSSIBLE!
JonathanToolonie
um,you're not counting mario hacks right?
Cole Lapp Commander Keen is not a Mario hack (I think)
JonathanToolonie
how impossible?
Wheres I wanna be the Guy?
Those games won't be on here; otherwise it'll be full of games that are just shit and is extremely unfair.
Jordan Lowrie I Agree
M A IN I A C One thing is games that were designed as hard games because the devs did not know other thing (main reason why the NES games usually are ungodly hard), and another one is putting games made explicitly to be impossible, with cheap deaths and stiff controls intentionally. Battletoads is a "naturally" hard game. IWBTG is an "artificially" hard game (so to speak)
I wanna be the boshy is much harder then I wanna be the guy... Should actually be on the list imo
Dark Souls isn't really hard, UNLESS you learn how each enemy works, and how each attack works. Deaths correlate to you learning. That's what makes Dark Souls so amazing. The true learning curve of the game is why you love it and the need of overcoming the obstacle.
Geometry Dash - check limit of people powers
Have you guys noticed that the only people that say Dark Souls is hard are the people that never played the game? Thats because it isn't hard.
I like to call it "challenging."
disguy67 it's hard for like...the first 5-10 hours of the game but dark souls 2 is easier than ds 1 anyways XD
Anyone else dislike Dark Souls 2? I found it to be a disappointment.
disguy67 I agree. It's challenging -- but it isn't hard.
DS is a "hard" game for most due to the lack of hand holding. DS is one of those games that pretty much pays you to be cautious and wary. All the traps and pitfalls are avoidable. Kinda reminds me of the "Tale of two adventurers" video. Though, I do admit, getting into Anor Londo waa the tough part, and after that, obtaining the Lord Souls is the real challenge.
one of the hardest game i have ever played was JAK 2
I just recently finished Jak 2 and haven't cursed or raged at a game more in my life
***** me too but still i think that it's hard
i know i played to
***** okay not that hard
jak 2 was hard but not too hard except a few missions
not gonna lie this list introduced me to Dark Souls
Play bloodborne
I would've have put Lion King on Snes/Sega Genesis
xyzmaster86 almost all SNES games were evil and I never beat half of them.
:P I finished this game lion king just so easy
Ikaruga shouldn't even be on a list of hardest games. Even honorable mentions. Have they never heard of Touhou?
I think touhou should have been on it. On one of the games, to get a good ending, you have to go through on normal or higher mode without dying once. And on another, you have a certain time limit for each level to get a good ending
Most likely they haven't heard of Touhou though.
touhou is definetly harder than ikaruga, even on easy mode
I don't think touhou is that hard
You must not play bonus difficulties very often.
....i wanna be the guy.....i wanna be the boshy....jak 2....the bunker level in the first LBP game(IT COUNTS)....mortal kombat shaolin monks....
shaolin monks wasnt hard at all
Oh dear, the Bunker level is terrible. I stopped trying years ago and accepted the fact I'm never gonna finish LBP.
Oh shit thanks for giving me bad Lbp memories.
you could've at least shoved "I wanna be the guy" in the honorable mentions
I'm a simple man. I see that dude from Marvel vs. Capcom who I don't know, I click.
No I wanna be the guy? It's seriouslly a lot harder than Super Meat Boy
Boshy or i wanna be that guy had a programmer constantly changing it ..that games not hard its made out of the Devils Dick.
I've never even played I wanna be that guy but from the speed runs I've watched (yes speed runs where the player doesn't die and gets everything right) that game looks incredibly hard
First, bullshit artificial difficulty, the games on the list dont have (just extreme skill requirements) The traps on that game are impossible to predict. Second, no released games so I dont think they qualify for the list.
Novah Ikkala Nah, after the first god damned apple, you expect the rest because you find out the game will NOT go easy on you
Jegue Perneta I absolutely agree. Without all the dark worldy and cotton alley stuff, it only takes about 12 hours to beat dr. fetus from having known absolutely nothing about the game.
Modern Warfare 2
I am unable to complete Sgt Foleys boot camp.
Yeah never passed that part and I've been trying for years :/
You just need to aim down your sights. If you aim down your sights, you will be more acurate, because you will be aiming down yout sights. Aim down your sights beforse shooting. Aim down your sights,because aiming down your sights makes you aim down your sights.
How do I aim down my sights? I play on an NES
nice one.
Ok I switched over to an N64 much better graphics but still don'y know how to aim down my sights :(
The hardest games I've beaten so far (by no means the hardest ever, but I can't rate what I haven't played)
4. Donkey Kong Country Returns/Tropical Freeze (K levels)
3. Hollow Knight (late game and path of pain)
2. Adventure of Link (pretty much the whole game)
1. Celeste (the B-sides and C-sides)
"I wanna be the guy" is the hardest ga I know.
There is something even harder than I Wanna Be The Guy, Kaizo Mario World, a Super Mario World rom hack that can kill you at the beginning of the hack. Don't believe me? Watch some videos on it. Don't Starve is pretty hard too, pretty much anything will kill, even darkness.
***** You make a good point, but there probably are some people out there that can flawlessly run through Kaizo World witout save states. I'm not one of those people.
There are much harder games out there... this is the problem with WatchMojo; they don't know about things that are not popular. None of these games have anything on I Wanna Be the Guy.
It's probably that they made this for the average public. It's not made for a bunch of gamer nerds who look at this list through their coke bottle glasses and scoff because it doesn't include some obscure game that 3 people on Earth know about.
subsamadhi
Actually i wanna be the guy is pretty infamous...on the internet.
have you even tried battletoads? in i wanna be the guy you can see whats comming, in battletoads, it´s just die die die to you learn....
MrHauf85 You play IWBTG and tell me you can see whats coming. I wanna be the guy, its, die, get past one obsical, just to die on another obstical that you never would have seen coming unless you died.
crazynuttyperson1234 yeah i have played it and it´s not harder the battletoads, might be a reason that IWBTG didn´t make the list and battletoads did, and maybe your not that skilled at video games
Dark souls is like the dark souls of................ WAIT
Elden Ring is the Dark Souls of From Software games
I bet geometry dash aint here
Geometry Dash isn't necessarily hard. I beat all levels and there is literally no way to beat the demon levels on your first few trys.
@@epg581 hello im talking about all extreme demons CUZ A LEVEL CALL BLOODLUST WAS VERIFIED IN 1.5 YEARS AND REMEMBER ITS JUST 1 EXTREME DEMONS WHAT ABOUT THE HARDEST LEVEL ZODIAC MANY PEOPLE TOOK LIKE 100,000 ATTEMPTS TO FINISH THESE LEVELS BRO
@@lolskigames3818 Oh if you're talking about custom made. I know GD has the hardest custom levels. But Mario Maker should be here as well.
@@epg581 YES THATS WHAT IM SAYING
AND ITS NOT HAS ITS REALLY THE HARDEST
Funny thing about battletoads is that Turbo Tunnel is like 6th hardest stage in game.
Hard game yet last boss is very easy you can literally beat her on first try .
Honestly, turbo tunnel does not do justice to how hard the game is. I can beat it fairly easily, but I cannot for the life of me get past level 9. Those g****** ducks!
Thing is, the Turbo Tunnel is the first uber-difficult stage of the game; few people will get past it to see the even harder ones.
sorokonojkaboris Level 10 the rat race is pure bullshit.
Rat Race (Level 10) is the purest form of devil in a video game I've ever seen or will see.
+UltraMc _ I started playing Battletoads a couple weeks ago and can get to Level 8 at this point. It's good to know I have so much to look forward to...
Echo the dolphin is the hardest game I ever played. I never beat it.
I'm disappointed Echo didn't make this list. I think it's hard er than battletoads
I can't even get past level 2. T~T That little tunnel under the squid where there's spikes on the top and bottom and only a one unit space to swim through was literally impossible to figure out. Not even backtracking helped.
5: Super Meat Boy
*Shows dark forest*
Boi try dark rapture, end, hell, and cotton alley.
Rayman 1...
honestly dark souls isn't hard. it's the damn pvp that gets you. in the first playthrough, the only major threats are a select few bosses until you understand how to kill them, and all playthroughs after that you already know how every enemy moves and where it's weak spot is. that being said, those damnded silver knights on the ledge outside the castle pissed me off.
yeah its the people who don't like a challenge and then whine about it that blows it out of proportion the game it self is amazing and even the pvp can be great if you don't get a troll, gankers, or a lagspike (including people that use lag switches on console).
ever get one hit by someone who isn't even in the same room as you?
other than the hackers and lagspikes, yeah, I play every day
mopo30 all the people who say dark souls is really hard are just too casual. Jk it just becomes easy mode past capra demon.
Tropic Pugs It's not that dark souls is overly hard, but it takes patience and observation to figure out the best way to fight enemies. Compared to a game like Skyrim where you just stand in one spot and smash a weapon, there is a level of fines that most people find trying. When I first started playing Dark Souls it was a disaster, but once I got a hand of the controls and just how tight the combat system was it got much easier.
dark souls should have an i wanna be the guy mode where everything is trying to kill you. EVERYTHING

Sadly true. I'm not good in those hard games but I saerch them beacause they are challenging and it's something you really have to practice a bit before playing through it. Well, osu! on insane was too hard for me, can't even get through the songs on medium.

try Chivalry: Medievel Warfare
or winning a Dota 2 much with 4 russians
***** Crusader kings II isn't 'dark souls' hard, the tutorial is just a bit lackluster.
anas moukhliss and top 10 hardest game with highest difficuly x,X some games really become impossible! Unless..unless you pass 1 year and all days to do this xD luck will happen somewhere...a good example is : Shadow of Rome ...
Dark Souls gets #2 and this video came out before Dark Souls 3 and bloodborne were even out, that's impressive.
want a hard game ?
want to prove that you are a pro gamer
-mike tyson's punchout
My biggest video game achievement ever was beating Ghouls & Ghosts.
This game was amazing well both of them, SNES and sega games were completely different have you tried both?
I'd love to see another F-Zero game come out. Heck if Nintendo just remade GX in HD with online 30 person race multiplayer, and 4 player racing with the ability to add in 26 computer players, I'd call it the best racing game ever made.
Fighting games. Just the entire genre
Mortal kombat shaolin monks or mythologies sub zero
There's so many games bro, I completely agree those are up there I'm trying to collect gems like that.
I've never died in Dark Souls... because I've never played it.
missing out on a great game....i sought a challenge in gaming due to the garbage disposible games that have 5 hour easy campaigns out there...dark souls was a good challenge and an endurance/frustration game.
This video proves that they no longer make those fantastic, hard to beat, lasting for yeaaars of playing, games...
Nowadays we have a shitty 3d games which can be finished in hours.
2D rocks and as I said - this vid proves it.You don't need fancy polished graphics with thousands of pixels and textures to enjoy a game.
AC Unity proved my theory.
I enjoyed my childhood with Mario Bros, Contra, Pacman... etc.
Greetings from Poland to all gamers.
I've been playing the Elder Scrolls series of games for years. Not boring, not tedious, and definitely not easy (unless you set it as so, then it'd be your own darn fault).
Play Skyrim on Legendary and finish the main story line. In the wise words of Yoda, "Years you will play, young Jedi".
And greetings from NY in the US to all you crazy Polish gamers : )
I agree with you my friend :)
I didn't say ALL of the 3d games aren't worth playing. :)
But I still think that 2d games are harder to beat than most of todays 3d :)
iambiggus Oblivion,Skyrim,Dark souls 1 and 2 I love them all oh and if you want to make Skyrim harder then the highest difficulty Get a mod called SkyTweak you can change anything about the game from damage % to armor defense/rating.
Obimaru Good info man, thanks. I'll check it out!
Dark souls is a great example of the old school formula put into a long 3d experience.
I think the hardest game, which isn't total trash, would be I wanna kill the Kamilia 3, but sadly, that it isn't so popular, but it is way harder than all of these games =/
Zanis Zanis Agree. Kamilia 3 is probably right at the edge of manageable enough for a good chunk of people to beat it. If it was just slightly harder I think it'd be only beatable by a few hardcore players who spend hundreds of hours on it. I also consider Kamilia 3 the hardest good game there is.
1) difficulty is subjective
2) (linked to 1) difficulty depends on your favourite genre, for example if you are specialized in bullet hell probably you will find hard playing in a fps arena
3) difficulty can means how many times you die, how hard you can find hard the system of gameplay, how little stimulating the game can be. It's always a question of points of view
4) generally *rage games* like Cat Mario or Golfing Over It are considered most difficult games beacuse the gameplay doesn't stimulate the player and the """""fun""""" isn't enough to compensate the difficulty and furthermore because every single level is well studied in order to predict every player's moves, soooo good luck boys
These "honourable mentions" aren't even remotely hard. There are much harder games out there like Touhou.
touhou isnt hard just have one knowledge : HITBOXES!!!!!! and you beat the game (easier said than done XD)
Implying that WatchMojo would know about Touhou ._.
which I can safely say and conclude ...........they don't ._.
now who want a cup of tea!?
Zachariah Adul there's this saying: if you can beat Touhou on Lunatic difficulty, you can beat the rain.
if the rain is color-coded and you have a teeny-tiny hitbox.
That ampunt of flying projectiles in touhou xDDD
Demon's Souls was much harder than Dark souls. There were no bonfires... you had to complete a full level and beat a boss on 1 try. Farm-able grasses (life items) made it a little easier in some ways than the limited estus flask, but it really didn't matter as using these items mid battle was difficult.
I found Demons souls the easiest out of the souls series. At least until Elden Ring.
For ME: Dark Souls. Do you know what I did, After I tried to beat any of the bosses, I get so close to the until I die from it because it was hard. It got me pissed. So pissed I smashed the disk with a hammer, and vowed to never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER, play the game again!! GOD I HATED IT!!!!!!
Test The Game : Geometry Dash, and play the hardest level on it, thank you
Boy I finished most dark souls on hardest difficulty
And exactly where in dark souls did you adjust the difficulty
Nex Lit I can’t tell if this is a joke from a veteran or someone trying to act cool and has never played the game
When Dark Souls places over Ghouls n' Ghosts, you know your list just fucked up. And Battletoads isn't nearly as hard solo, even I've beaten the tunnel level and i'm just a scrublord.
Lord Sithis
That's a good point, since Watch Mojo top tens are based on user votes rather than actual data.
After I have played dark souls series all the the games look like childish except to stalker and corantaly looking for filling the gap
I really don't get why people bash a list because "they got it wrong! Q.Q" when it's entirely their opinion. Remember, this is WatchMojo's Ten Hardest, not yours or mine.
Oh, and since my multi-managing skills aren't that great, I can't even beat StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty on Normal even though every other mission prior to Char was relatively simple.
You are right.
Watchmojo you guys gotta play the Super Star Wars games on Super NES. Super Empire Strikes back is an INSANELY difficult game and I have no idea why it's never mentioned in ANY list of the hardest games of all time.
I loved Contra
Haven't played alot of the ones on WatchMojo's list. These are the hardest games I've played.
10. Dragon's Dogma
9. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
8. Contra (beat it)
7. Castlevania
6. F-Zero X
5. Ninja Gaiden Black
4. Dark Souls
3. Rayman 2
2. Rayman
1. Ninja Gaiden (Original NES Trilogy)
Try Devil May Cry you'll rage like a bitch..
+Mark Lo I played the original I didn't find it that hard.
I liked contra
nah dark souls Is super easy one you get used to it
Harambe not to be racist but are an asian because you called dark souls easy?!
Take it from me as somebody who has played both Ninja Gaiden Black and Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden is way more challenging and rewarding than dark souls. Disappointed to see Dark souls higher on the list obviously due to its popularity and everybody that worships it just because it's a little challenging. I think anybody else who has played Ninja Gaiden can side with me on this one.
i can agree i gave up on ninja gaiden. im a casual lol. im gonna buy it and beat it eventually though. which ninja gaiden do u think is the hardest ive heard many say black is the hardest. then others say the original is the hardest.
Prince Ashitaka I'm not for sure. I've beaten Ninja Gaiden Black on the hardest difficulty. (took many months). However, I have only played Ninja Gaiden I and II for the NES and I haven't beaten them simply because I just didn't put enough time into it. I feel like both games are very challenging in their own ways but I'm gonna have to say Ninja Gaiden Black edges out the originals just a little bit.
then how can you make that statement with out actually beating the NES versions ? the whole NG series is fucking brutal, i beat NG 2 on master ninja myself, it took many months but those NES versions are in a league of its own
***** Just from playing the NES versions for probably a total of a week or two, I just think Ninja gaiden black is a little harder, at least on master ninja. on normal - very hard I think that the NES games have it beat.
I've never played Ninja Gaiden but I can certainly say that Dark Souls shouldn't be on here.
Hahahaha "Contra" reminds me when i was a child lol My brothers used to throw the controller through the room because of it
Update: cup head is out and holy crap it’s insane!
Touhou 15
Just sayin'
+Prince Kai isn't touhou 11 the hardest one? Utsuho and Nue look like hell for me. o.o
ProtoManZero ShadowStarX Have you ever fought Clownpiece though :v
Prince Kai um, no. I mean you cannot say that Undertale is a hard game just bc of the two genocide route bosses. True Touhou is hard in general and Undertale is easy.
+ProtoManZero ShadowStarX if you think undertale is easy download the game and play The genocide route see if you can beat sans without losing a health
Gamalol Gamalol well I've already beaten both pacifist and genocide. Sans was hard, yes. Same with Undyne the Undying. And I once did a no-hit run on the first half of the Sans fight. (before the fake spare) Also a game being easy =/= easy to perfect run. True the second half of the Sans fight is quite hard because aside from the anti-gravity attack and the final non-special attack, everything is random.
Shinobi on PS2....
Revenge of Shinobi on the Sega Genisis I remember being pretty hard although I only played it a couple times when i was little and I only got past the first level.
This is a ps2 game thats harder than then dmc3 for example.
tough game but once u master the fighting system its pretty fair as u can 1hit kill the bosses.
Que Onda Zetita
Bottomless pits were the bane of my existence in that game. Couldn't dawdle either since the sword will drain your health unless you kill enemies.
I still remember Contra's old password... :)
I think unfair mario should be in this list

How is castlevania not in here lol (1986) (NES)
Ambidextrous Gaming Castlevania isn't that hard
It's hard, but not Top 10 hardest.
I agree had a harder time with that than dark souls
Castlevania III isn't that hard if you just go the Syfa route and blast everything with magic. Even Dracula is a chump if you've got Syfa. If you go the Alucard route, on the other hand... yeah, the game is insanely difficult.
@@Seoulwanderer I actually found the Alucard route to be easier since there are a lot of areas that can be cheesed with his bat form. But yeah Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse should've been on here imo, the last two levels nearly made me tear my hair out of frustration on my first playthrough
My personal top 10 hardest games I have ever played:
- Bayonetta
- Ninja Gaiden 2
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
- Contra
- Dark Souls
- Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
- The Binding of Isaac Rebirth
- Double Dragon
-Perfect Dark
- Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
WatchMoJo: Battletoads is the hardest game ever made
Geometry Dash: Hold my beer.
Ever played silver surfer?
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ
Dude i even passed that on the mobile version ...but it is difficult though
Dark souls hard? That's funny. Ninja gaiden Black easily tops it. I easily beat Dark souls my first try. But the game is great and is rewarding.
What do you mean you beat it on your first try? saying you didn't die? If so you could easily be lying.
thepeoplehateu Oh no I died. Just most people make another character because they messed up on their first playthrough. I on the other hand beat it with my first ever made character because I chose stats that were suited to my playstyle, which I easily beat it.
DrCoding i beat NG+6 on my first character not knowing what i was doing when creating my character but it buffed out.
first try in souls means nothing ..... its not that hard to beat if you just go from boss to boss and not worry about sidequests ... and how long did this first playthrough of yours take ? :)
Who cares?
I suck at video games but i beat Bayou Billy when I was 12 years old on the original NES :)
Contra, harrddd!?!??? I beat it without any faillllll
Attempt 10000000
For people saying Dark souls isn't ''hard'' it is for the generic cod duty gamers
and players who don't have the patience to really get into the game.
I'm telling of all the games i've played DS1 and DS2 were the most rewarding, most fun game experiences i've ever had.
I had mostly just played shooter games before dark souls and the second I started playing I noticed it getting easy, it isn't a case of learning the game it is a case of playing the game like back in the old days
Tropic Pugs
Very true :D
Nope too hard for me
I would say Dark Sector, never got to beat it
Weres dark souls in this picture
Why is Dark Souls so high? Have you guys actually played it? It isn't that hard.
pirateking2 Are you even human?!
It's still hard, but it isn't as hard as the other games on this list. I've also played Super Meat Boy and that one is definitely tougher.
pirateking2 I've played Super Meat Boy, aswell and it's really gettin' tougher each level but Touhou has still deserved the top of the list.
how far are you in smb?
pirateking2 I haven't played it for a very long time but i think I stopped at the 3rd map
no touhou? not even in the honorable mentions? seriously...
Agreed.
While Touhou on Lunatic Mode makes you want to smash a whole into your screen, on Easy mode it is almost no challenge at all.
that depends on the game, also easy is not an option for REAL touhou players ;D
NoReXx yeah, but the condition fpr this list was, that even the easierst mode is hard to beat.
Have any of you naysayers beaten Touhou on easy? If not, go do that, then become a real man and play it on normal.
