Title: Hardest thing in a Video Game
Post by: Kuiper7986 on October 27, 2004, 04:39:30 pm: Out of all the video games and pc games in your life, what\'s absolutely the hardest thing you have ever done?

For me it was Xwing Alliance (PC):

Mission: Protecting a Corellian Blockade Runner from a Star Destroyer and two squadrons of Assault Gunboats with only having an Xwing and three wingmen to protect the ship.

Post by: Watcher on October 27, 2004, 04:47:59 pm: Hardest thing i have done is on battle of Yavin trying to take down a whole star destroyer + gun turrets + ties with 1 X wing (all my wingmates had been killed) I failed at it. Dam that was a bad day for the rebolution.

Post by: Olig on October 27, 2004, 07:17:06 pm: The hardest thing I completed (not the hardest thing I attempted) was beating the Aztec level of Goldeneye on 007 difficulty; with AIdamage 200%, AIHealth 200%, AIAccuracy 100%, and AIReactionSpeed 200%. I fell victim of a April Fools prank made by a magazine I have, EGM, that fooled readers that by completing the level at those settings, they would gain a secret cheat to gain more characters in multiplayer. I spent weeks trying to beat the level. When I finally did, and didn\'t get the cheat, I was severly pissed. I didn\'t find out that it was a prank until the next issue.

F-Zero X is pretty hard too.

Post by: Syzerian on October 28, 2004, 04:47:30 am: I never got stuck on X-Wing Alliance.
For me it is probably playing UT 99 and 2004 singleplayer on godlike or probably playing FarCry on realistic. I just dont find games very challenging :O

Post by: snow_RAveN on October 28, 2004, 04:53:43 am: Staying alive , period. When playing on ub3r hard mode you slowly view death as a major set back when you didnt quick save the last 5 mins :D

Then when you do manage to save
this is what usually happens

\"crapo i just died ... again... heck ill get him the moment he pops his head out of that wall ... \" wash, rinse, repeat

No I know what I mean. Battle of Yavin is a free game. Look for it on the net.

Post by: Xordan on October 28, 2004, 01:25:00 pm: hmm, one of the freelancer missions on hardest difficulty.. I think you\'re flying through unstable jump rings, then you have to blow up a couple of giant battle cruisers, and most of your squadron get blown up within 5 min, leaving you against 100/1 odds :/

Yeah, I did it :D

Post by: Boldstorm on October 28, 2004, 04:55:02 pm: Hardest thing I ever did was to put down the controller and actually stop playing Final Fantasy VII when I first got it. :P

Post by: ArcaneFalcon on October 28, 2004, 05:10:46 pm: The last American level in Battlezone was pretty hard, but even harder was a Total Annihilation skirmish match of me vs 9 computer opponents on hard allied against me. That was about a 5 hour game, the first two and a half of which I was being attacked non-stop. Heh, I had all 10 hotkeys pointing to my nuke silos which were running constantly. Most TA players nowadays can do that, but only because only the hardcore ones are left.

:emerald:

Post by: Ionas on October 28, 2004, 05:16:00 pm: In X-Wing alliance one of the last missions you have to help in stealing a shuttle from a base. However at the moment the shuttle has been taken hell brakes lose. Never made that one, finally i decided to \'skip\' the mission.

Also in Diablo 2 i still have to face a very tough moment. Right now im at hell dificulty in the extension at the quest where you\'ve got to defeat a couple of statues. In fact they nearly did me in at the second difficulty level. I sure was glad i had spread full rejuvenation potions all over the place before starting the fight.

And in Dark Forces, the final mission with the last boss level. Though i had many lives i lost all but the last of em in that mission and while duelling that guy. With the last life and little ammo he appeared to be right in front of the door of the elevator where i stood. So i had no room to dotch anything Scared as hell i opened the door. I was extremely lucky as the door didnt fully open and i could shoot the b*stard in his feet.

Just to name a couple of situations...

btw why does b*stard become peanut when posted?

You beat the Contra for NES without using the Code?!?!? Wow, Single or Multi? Single is hard... =.=

Post by: hook on October 29, 2004, 10:37:20 am: There were a few games which I played and never finished, but I don\'t remember them right now.

But here\'s one big bastard of a game: Bastet - Bastard Tetris (http://fph.altervista.org/prog/bastet.shtml) :]

Post by: XpYtZ on October 29, 2004, 09:10:27 pm: Haredest thing I ever did in a video game...Hmmm...I managed to sit through all of FFX :)
No really I made it to wave 980 in the old Mac game Wave 15.
Man that was hard. It was on an old, BW Mac SE~II. Man that was hard.

I always played single and no... I never beat Contra without the code... and that is why that was the hardest thing in a game for me ;P

Probably when I had to beat half of majoras mask in one day because my stupid n64 cartridge was screwd and I couldnt save. Made a zelda game not fun. *shakes his head in dissapointment and sheds a tear*

Post by: Adeli on October 30, 2004, 12:42:45 pm: Watcher: Elegrand was talking to DepthBlade, not you about X-wing and TIE Fighter.

The hardest things for me...

Currently : Doing anything in Doom 3, I just keep dying.

I also had trouble with that Freelancer level, took me ages, and only I survived, my group was annihilated.

Dodging lightning in FFX, I needed to dodge 200 I think, I was one bolt off the needed limit, eyes watered from staring at a screen that flashes occasionally, and blinked... ZAP! Never did it again.

A stupid boss in Shadow Hearts on PS2, took me a very long time to be able to beat him... The fake Roger Bacon... I still can\'t beat Yuri\'s father to get some ultimate fusion monster... Hard game, stupid spinning wheel attack thingo.

Post by: JellyWerker on November 01, 2004, 01:24:17 am: beating ocarina of time in less than 24 hours
Title:
Post by: Krahan on November 01, 2004, 02:21:40 am: I know someone who beat Ocarina of time in 10-30 minutes. Crazy i know. The hardest thing for me is.....waiting for CB to come out =D
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on November 01, 2004, 02:32:46 am: 30 min is impossible. You wouldn\'t even get close to getting the master sword. The cinematics itself takes up at least a half hour. Beating it in 24 hours is quite a feat.

Ocarina of Time is probably one of my all time favorite games. Its amazing.

Post by: Myrtl on November 02, 2004, 03:22:47 am: Trying to beat a low tech game called Red Alert. It was so fun but its last levels are so hard!!! I had to try and find cheats but not even they helped me :(
Title:
Post by: Adeli on November 03, 2004, 06:29:57 pm: IceFalcon, that was my thought too, those bloody cinematics... the intro alone is long enough, and then there is all that dialogue -groans-.

Myrtl, I love Red Alert, Soviets or Allies? It took me ages to finish, I found Command and Conquer harder though... Stupid Nod.

I have another one, it\'s silly though... Getting an exhibit suitability rating of 100 for a group of artic wolves in Zoo Tycoon, stupid wolves... DIE!

Post by: smoak on November 04, 2004, 05:11:00 am: TA kingdoms a mission where you had to kill 20 something guys with two units and a scout, how a hated that mission.
adeli- did you play tiberium sun?
Title:
Post by: Adeli on November 04, 2004, 09:01:26 am: Yeah, I did, Nod vs Nod annoyed me though, I still have TS actually, never played TA Kingdoms, heard it was bad.

I thought of another game thing, then forgot it when I was thinking of TS... I\'ll post it if I remember.
