I was stuck on bloodborne 1st boss for 3 hours. My friend was laughing so hard at me.
3 hours isn't that bad 🤣 we've all been there
Cap. You don’t have any friends
@@SkoolNerdsooooooooh! roasted!
I’m 51 and have been gaming since I was about 8, started with TV Games, then a Spectrum, then Commodore, then Amiga, then Sega Master System, then Mega Drive, some Game Boy, PlayStation, N64, XBox 360, Switch, XBox Series X and all along I’ve been shite at games and immensely frustrated at difficulty and insta-death levels. Mate, I’ve been playing Ghosts N Goblins for over 40 years and go nowhere. Shoutout to those of us who’ve been crap in every generation for five decades.
There's a ton of us! 🤣 Never stop playing
@@RNGGamerYT Oh, alright. I’ll keep going. Got you a sub bro. I’ll think of this when I am rage quitting and killing another controller 😭
@ManCave1972 I'm glad I could earn your subscription! I really hope you enjoy the videos
same here and im 42
Remember the mega CD?
I'm 54 years old and I have been gaming since the beginning.
I notice now days my hands are staring to cramp up while playing which totally sucks.
Gotta do those stretches! I'm a guitarist and I stretch my hands every day
@@RNGGamerYT really kk I will trying doing that then.
Thanks for the tip man
@Ronsilk-pu5hr you bet! If you don't use it, you lose it.
106%-ing Super Meat Boy turned one of my 57 year old hands into a claw.
@davy_K it was worth it though, right?!?
The worst is when you get stuck and finally go look at videos for help and the narrator just keeps saying how easy that part is....
I'm fully aware of what you're talking about! It's so passively aggressive in its insult, haha
Narrator: "See friends after 120 hours of practice you too will find level 2 of (insert game title) perfectly doable. Easy as cake."🤣🙃
fromsoftware since demons always pointing out you died.
I had someone comment on a reply of mine where I was essentially thanking the good lord for save states. This guy says, “yeah but where’s the satisfaction beating a game with save states?” If I ever make it past the turbo tunnel in Battle Toads I guarantee you I’ll be more than satisfied to not have to replay it EVERY SINGLE time I die again after that point. NES devs were masochists.
I've only ever used save states to practice. I try to play games the way the developers intended. Yes, they were masochists 😅
Either way many NES games were practically unbeatable before saves states whether using them to practice or for play.
@@pauljacob99 they were super hard! A lot of them were practically impossible without a guide. Even save states won't help if you can't figure out where to go or where to go 😅
So relatable. I have the PS4 Castvania Rondo of Blood and abuse the crap out of the save system. The game is so much harder than the remake I jammed with on the PSP. I dig it, though, but if I was on the NES, I would've despised a lot about this game. I've used them on my emulated Sega games. The Incredible Hulk, X-Men 2 Clone Wars, and Contra Hard Corps. I would lose my sanity.
I recall I read a Miyamoto interview where he mentioned that "Japanese game player are lazy as they want to finish their game easy and move on" type of way. And that he praise that the American/International folks play the game on hard so that they will take longer time to finish the game.
I'm still figuring out at 34 how a 12 year old me was able to beat that monstrosity known as Battletoads.
I feel exactly the same way!
The snakes in Battletoads almost sent me on a killing spree.
I talked about that stage... but it had to be cut out of the video because it was just a 5 minute rant
Then you would definitely hate the crazy Segway race against a giant marble.....
@csargent31 Lol
U Albinos are Wild
What's up with all of the Albino comments?
The first time I played Ghosts and Goblins on the NES I remember my 7 year old self saying... "What the hell? This is impossible."
You were a wise 7 year old!
With that in mind, the arcade version(og verision) is considerably harder than the NES one.
The first win is doable, but then the game hits you with a "the princess is another castle" BS and have to beat it AGAIN, that second run ive never could pull it off in original hardware, (on emulators with save states is much more forgiving)
@user-dp8ec6yu8e just gotta get the knife and never drop it... you know, until you have to get the shield to actually beat the last boss 😅
There is one game that was actually impossible for one person. That game was Punch Out for the NES and that person was my friend Chris. During the training cut scene, where the trainer was riding his bike in front of you, we told Chris that if you pressed "B" and "A" fast enough you would catch the trainer, throw him off the bike and ride off the screen with it yourself. For at least two summers, every time that scene came up, Chris gave it his all to see this special scene. He never got suspicious that my brother and I never gave the slightest effort to do this just to show him how to it was done. It was quite entertaining!
Lol.... we all tried to catch the trainer! It's still really funny that Chris was so diligent about it 😅
In Bloodborne, I was stuck on the final boss Orphan of Kos for literally 2 weeks. I gave up on my weapon and started trying out other weapons, only you have to level the weapon up so I had to grind materials. I tried so many weapons and just couldn't beat him. Finally tried out the DLC weapon Beast Saif and it made the game super easy. I'm not joking, it was easy. I had my wife play the game, as soon as the DLC opened up in the beginning I took the controls and ran straight through everything to grab the Beast Saif and then handed the controller back to my wife. When she beat the game, she only had 2 deaths on Orphan of Kos, took her only 3 tries. That weapon is so broken.
Orphan of Kos is legendary hard!
I kind of like it when developers give you an out on a game like that. I feel like it's good design to have a last ditch effort in there for everyone 😆
@@RNGGamerYT oh yeah, I agree. And it's something I had to find and discover myself so it still felt awesome.
Got him down to like one more hit many times.
I have never beat him.
I have been in that same position quite a few times myself
@@dr.wolinsbelt you've never beat him? Please try the Beast Saif. Level it up first of course.
Some of the jumping puzzles during the raids in Destiny 1 and 2 are the hardest thing I've ever done. There are so many blind jumps that you have to make around corners and land on a tiny little rock or pipe and if you miss you have to restart so many other hard blind jumps just to get back to the blind jump you missed.
I know exactly the part you're talking about on Destiny 1. I failed it about a million times with my buddies
⚠️ you forgot the ninja gaiden trilogy for the SNES. Ninja Gaiden for the SNES was and still is a very super hard game till this day. Even the 3D version of the Ninja Gaiden trilogy for the PS3/PS4 is hard as well. Great video by the way 🎮🎮
Thanks!
I'm sure ninja Gaiden will make it into the next video!
Those are some rough ones man! I’ve always thought it was funny that everyone says Battletoads is such a hard game (I mean it is, so many people have only ever seen the first 2 levels) yet it seems like people all still love it and hold it as a good game in their minds (It really is cool!)
“What’s the hardest NES game?”
“Battletoads! It’s such a cool game!”
😂 I’m not sure there’s a lot of games out there that can hold both of those titles in that way for so many people.
Great video man!
I smashed my controller in a thousand pieces playing toads 😮
No! I've never gotten that angry playing a game... but tomorrow's another day 🤣
I did playing Bayou Billy. Even broke the light gun too. That game once I beat it I never touched it again.
@vikinglife6316 I still haven't beaten it...
How could I miss your channel. You’re awesome and full of positive vibes. I’m 40 myself and still enjoy playing games, chiefly the old ones.
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you found me
Awesome video! I recently picked up The Adventures of Bayou Billy and share the same frustrations lol. I didn't know about the history of why the developers increased the difficulty for the NA version. Very interesting......
I'm so glad you were able to learn something new... and I'm so sad you had to suffer through Bayou Billy recently 😅
I love when you not only list each game but also talk about them. Enjoying the video immensely so far.
Thanks! Yeah, I always talk about every game. Even if I haven't played them, I'll talk about where I got them, why I bought them, and what I've heard about them.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Ninja Gaiden was insane on the NES. I agree with you that a game should be played the way it is supposed to. However even with the tips and cheats I still found this game impossible LOL! Great video mate. Glad that I'm not the only one who found games tough in my youth!
Ninja Gaiden is super hard! I've beaten it, but it's been a long, long time!
Thanks for watching and commenting. You're not alone 😁
Ninja Gaiden is my favorite game for the NES! I could beat it in one sitting back in the day. It’s not hard. It just demanded practice and tactics.
@laurigardner6227 it's beatable with practice!
Nah. It's a lot of timing, and you can 1 hit every boss.
first time here
i love how Your gaming room looks ( i am a bit jealous, but You got me into thinking how to achieve similar result )
i love the way You narrate the video and your attitude
Subscribed !
Thank you so much! It definitely has a look to it. I'm very thankful that you like my narration 😄
Great video and a solid list of crazy hard games! I love that you have a few shmups in the list!
Thanks so much! Shmups are my favorite genre. I want to make sure each one of these videos has at least one in it
Great video, you mentioned two of my favourite games of all time in Bloodborne and R-type. I put around 200 hrs into bloodborne, god those chalice dungeon bosses were brutal.
I remember walking into a local arcade as a wide eyed 10 year old and being totally blown away by R-type. Now 36 years later, i own pretty much every version of it and i still havent beat the last stage. Actually the only port i finished was the gameboy version (less stages).
Thanks for sharing your history with these games! The chalice dungeons were no joke. I got burned out on them really quickly.
I wish I could have played r-type in the arcades. I'm envious that you did
Single dad if 4 with full custody…Bloodborne is also one of my favorite games, that being said I’m loving Elden ring right now on the steam deck. I love type as well especially delta and final part 1 on ps2…those BYDO had some creepy last levels.
@TheL1arL1ar keep up the good work with those 4 kids!
I love your "know it all" impression so much! Your eyes are glued shut as you pull data from the archives 😂
Lol... I never thought of it like that! I'm just doing an impression of several people I've known throught my love (mixed with Napoleon Dynamite) 🤣
Watching your 2 part series on this topic, have experienced most if not all things in gaming since playing 1942 by Capcom in '84, can't argue with you bringing up the likes of XCOM, that game is like bringing a butter knife to a gun fight, also how you mention Pink Sweets, Ikaruga & R-Type, those Shmups don't hold a candle difficulty wise to Dodonpachi Daioujyou & Battle Garegga, also I have to mention the likes of Ninja Gaiden Black Label, SMB The Lost Levels, The Sharp X68000 version of Castlevania & F-Zero GX, have enjoyed seeing your perspective / experiences of difficult games.
Thanks so much! Don't worry... DDP DSJ and battle garegga are being saved for a future video 😅
I'm glad you've had a similar experience!
The first minute of this video warmed my heart! Every response to every question on every gaming forum is "git gud"!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I'm happy it warmed your heart
In Star Fox Adventures, I got stuck at the Lightfoot Strength Test because I had to rapidly press a button to get him into the pit. 1 1/2 to 2 years later, when I bought a turbo controller, I made it right through and went on to beat the rest of the game.
The perfect loophole! I use turbo controllers, too. I can tap fast enough. I just don't want to 😅
Omg that test was crazy! I asked my mom to give it chance and she beat it the first try!!? I was blown away by that because she doesn't even play video games! I'll never forget her coming to my rescue after hearing me so upset and then saving the day.
@tjames6427 your mom sounds awesome!
@@tjames6427that’s so funny, I knew my gf was a fast tapper cuz she would kick my ass at those Mario party games. So I was like babe can you help me in this trial and yea she did it first try. I just don’t understand why I don’t have a fast thumb lol
@@bobbyrivera2951 I've since came up with a method that will help you beat any fast tap section in seconds! Take your pointer and place it over the button then with your other hand alternate two finger tap on your pointer finger. I call it the double tap lol.
Great video!
It’s interesting to hear your comments about Divinity: Original Sin 2. I have not played it yet, but I want to say that the experience of failing at a strategy and having to try again until I get it perfect is actually the most addictive thing for me that keeps me hooked. Funny how that works differently for different folks. Good job - keep up the great content!
Thanks! I'm sure you'll love Divinity 2. If you like that sort of trial and error, it'll be right up your alley.
@@RNGGamerYT The DOS Series is great, yes you get your ass beaten in the beginning but things become easier once you have figured out the mechanics of the design, there are literally infinite ways to win a battle and often you have to think around corners! For instance it took me a while to take the surrounding stuff into the strategies, in the beginning I often confronted the enemies straight away, then i figured out to use oil and set it on fire, or light barrels lying around and suddenly wham an unwinnable fight suddenly was won!
In one of the Medal of Honor Undeground levels, the last part of the level required me to wipe out the stockpile of parts that were already built. I tried a few times running away from it, but it caught up to me and I failed each time. A week or 2 later, I came back to it and went sideways, straight and sideways again to get to the end of the level. Near the end of the game, in the second to last level, it took me a day and a half to beat that level; after that, I made it through the level and beat the rest of the game.
I'm glad you were able to finally beat it. I have experiences like that, too. Where nothing works... then once day, it all just clicks.
the immortal and wizardry were some of the toughest games on the nes for me. ive played them later on an emmulator, and aced them, but wow, at the time, they were my most difficult. great video, dropped a sub
Both of these are in my backlog... and I'm sure they would make the list. But, I have to play them first 😁
@@RNGGamerYT have fun, and honestly, The immortal needs a rebirth for current gen consoles, imo
@ralphharrison6622 maybe it'll get a remaster 😅
Oh god, the immortal.. I rented that one a few times, never got too far lol. Something about that one sparked my imagination as a kid though, I remember being a little obsessed with it
@keithmichael112 it seems like such a cool game... but I've only heard bad things 😅
Willow on the NES was a pain. Can't miss with the cane phase 1 vs bavmorda. Plus the grind to get your xp high enough to even fight her.
In all of these years, I still haven't played willow on the NES. I'll have to finally pick it up one day
So glad I found your channel. I'm 57 and have been a gamer for as long as it's been possible to be one!
Here in the UK there's a channel by a guy called Nick, "njenkin". It's not the same as yours but it's similar in that you both play games from a "real" perspective. The kind of game-play that average players experience. Definitely subscribing to your channel now 👍
Thanks so much, brother! I'm thrilled you found my channel.
I really am just a normal guy who loves video games!
I'll go check out njenkin right now!
Have you tried “Yolanda” on the Atari ST? Such a hard game. Start the level, think “Where am I on the screen?” And before you see your character, all the floors are on fire and you’re dead. Start again…. It’s a random new level and you still don’t know where your character is. Took me so long to beat it!
That sounds insane! This is my first time hearing of it. I'll go check it out
To be fair, it was difficult to finally understand that getting new skills is most important in the early game to succeed in combat.
Very true!
Bro, just found you here on YT and I must say I love your content! Pretty straight forward, no shenanigans or anything like that - just honest reviews. Gotta watch your other videos! HAHA
Subscribed, and if you need any music for your channel and/or any other medias you work with, lemme know, it would be awesome to collab with someone like you!
Thanks, bro! Keep up!
I'm so glad you love the content! That means the world to me.
I'm actually a professional musician! I've done session work for years.
I'm always down to collaborate.
Miyazaki is one of the most influential people in my life!
and there is two specific games that I still think is hard today, and those games are Cutthroat Island and Blackthorne on the SNES... maybe I suck, maybe I lack the mental requirements to play it, idk, but man... hard as f***.
Still love them, tho hahaha
@CaioBarbosa I never played cutthroat island, but Blackthorn was done by the same developer as Flashback... and I super suck at that game
I love your videos so much!!!!! So relaxing and relatable! Love your voice too!!!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that.
I'm glad you were able to find me
Another great video. As someone else wrote, I enjoy how you present things. Very relaxing, somehow. And I wrote previously, your explanations about why you like or dislike something are very clear.
I have Pink Sweets as part of a dual pack, but haven’t actually played it much. I did not realize that rank aspect was ever escalating. At least there is the arrange mode for mortals like me to enjoy.
Divinity OS 2 is in my own backlog. Have not played many CRPG but somehow I think I will enjoy this one, as I sometimes get very deeply into games with tactical battles. I did not realize how difficult it can get. But I do think I will tackle it sooner rather than later. One of the games I’ve been most curious about - even before Baldur’s Gate 3 exploded onto the scene
Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks for your kind compliment! I really appreciate it. I act like myself in my videos, and I guess people can pick up on that.
The arrange mode for Pink Sweet on that double pack is the best way to play the game. It isn't easy at all. It's more like a different game that uses the assets of the original. It's one of my favorite shmup experiences of all time.
You may love DOS2. It's a great game, but my brain just doesn't work in a way that makes it easy for me.
If I see a nail sticking out, I hammer down the nail. I don't think about charming the master of the builder's guild into doing it for me 😅
The other reason BattleToads is hard on 2 players is if one guy dies both people have to start the level over.
You're absolutely right! There are so many frustrating issues with this game that I didn't even have time to mention them all 😆
Turbo Tunnel may not be the hardest level, but i am pretty sure, the majority of people gave up at that level and never played the rest of the game.
You're absolutely right!
@@RNGGamerYT I don't know if you're a fan of James Rolfe of AVGN fame, but his episode of Battletoads perfectly sums up how hard that game was.
Donkey Kong....I can never reach the top
That's one I can loop a couple of times! It's hard for sure
Bayou Billy made me realize as an Adult how much better I was as a kid at playing games. 😂 I had fond nostalgic memories of the game and remember getting quite far into the game. Loving how the gameplay was so varied for different stages. Then I picked it up and played it years later and wondered how the heck did I ever love this game? 😂
Haha! Some games are like that. Others feel much easier now... at least for me!
When you made the comparison to playing a fighting game, but doing a sweep move over and over, it made me think of how my buddy and I play, no holds barred. If a move works, we spam if we think it'll be effective. If the other person can't figure out how to get out of or past it, they deserve to lose. Makes things way more fun and less frustrating when you strictly go for the win and don't have to hold back, and it's good practice for online play.
Yeah, I understand that. But, it's different when you're playing a single player game. The computer can't learn or adapt
@RNGGamerYT True. Though, with time and AI implementation, that might change. I get what you mean, though.
I completely agree with your rant around the 7:54 mark. There is a subset of gamers out that enjoy the masochistic side of gaming. Being an older gamer myself, games back in the day were made difficult to prolong play time because of technology limitations. But if I hear a game is made like Divinty original sin. Hard pass. That’s why for years I avoided the soul’s borne games up until Elden Ring. Which funnily enough, they made for more mass appeal. Great video. You got a subscriber.
Thanks for subscribing!
I feel like a lot of games made these days are designed to be the one and only game you play for a few years until the next game comes out.
I see so many posts on Reddit about people looking for a game can play "forever."
I hate it... and it's a hard pass for me. Like you, I prefer to head into a game, knowing it can be finished with some sort of relative ease
Bloodborne was my introduction into souls games. I got so frustrated with it I stopped playing it for months. Then saw a video of Sqillakilla playing it and it motivated me to try again. I realized what I was doing wrong. Once I went back to it I started doing better. I went on to play DS3 after that. Then I went to DS1 and 2. Demon Souls remake and finally Elden Ring. Now I really love souls games.
Not realizing I was playing it wrong was the same issue I had. I kept trying to force my playstyle into it... and that just didn't work.
Glad to see you got the hang of it! Thanks for watching!
To make the giant wheel stage on Battletoads even harder for you, if you're playing two players and you both make it to that part, that's the end of the road. A glitch in the game won't let you move the bike and the wheel will just kill you. You actually can't beat the game two players, it really is impossible.
Lol... I had no idea. That's so crazy. I wish I had known that before I filmed the video!🤣
@@RNGGamerYT How many people are good enough to make it that far with a partner anyway? :P
I do disagree with you on Double Dragon 3 though. Not that it's hard, it is, it deserves the spot you gave it. But I actually thought it was a decent game, not the best but all right. So I guess I disagree with all of gaming. But I've always taken the beat em ups like a duck to water.
For that opening dojo room, turn on your nunchucks, with I think select at the character screen, it's been a while. You can only get like 5 hits before they break, but that's 5 hits that you don't have to fight to get and you don't have to spam special moves.
Battletoad is the best game where it's fun that you can't beat it, not even half of it.
There is a charm that the whole world is terrible at it. It's like a club of 7 billion people 😆
@@RNGGamerYT Yeah, but also, I think a few decades ago, people did enjoy their time spend playing, now it seems like people want to finish a game in order to jump onto the next one. That's why I enjoy Soulslike games so much. The gameplay keeps me coming back, I don't care how long it takes me to finish them or if at all...
I completely agree on Divinity: Original Sin
My wife and I kept trying to chug through that game and eventually gave up. And that was at 70+ hours in.
It was a lot of fun to play, but miserable to figure out.
The clues are vague and the journal is just a single bullet point. Good luck finding where you need to go based on the quest journal if you don't remember who or what you did to get that journal entry.
After having to look up where to go for the umpteenth time, we called it quits.
I'm glad we're not alone! I'm really surprised so many people are into this style of game.
In dying laughing that you found divinity so confusing some how like wtf
It's a nightmare for me!!!
First time watching this channel. You were articulate and genuine. Will be a watching from now on. Good job!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that.
Honestly buddy, I enjoyed this video SO much!! Really glad to see double dragon 3 on this list 😂
I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it! There will be another one next Saturday.
My wife is still angry over double dragon 3 😆
1st time here, very good video. Subscribed, +1. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video
@@RNGGamerYT Thanks! Please continue the great job! Cya!
I'll do my best to keep putting out good content!
@@RNGGamerYT Thanks! I'll check in the channel. :)
Just found your channel. You’re a real pleasure to watch and listen to! Your rant about Divinity 2 how you have to do all these obscure things to progress that you would never think felt like listening to myself lol.. it’s what turned me off to CRPGs the past 15 or so years, like you I also grew up playing them but it seems making them as obtuse as possible is supposed to be fun now! They tout how dynamic everything is which is achievement I guess, but I don’t want to “try” 24 different things just to make essentially an hour of progress. There’s far too many games out there that respect my time.
Anyway you earned a sub, nice job on this video!
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I appreciate you subscribing.
I guess great minds think alike 😁
I only found your channel today. great quality vids! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks! I'm so glad you found me!
The presidents run in driver is almost impossible… You’d get crushed so hard the car would smash over the buildings & just freeze/stop working… Need some luck to get slammed a few blocks in the right direction
That sounds miserable! 😅
Your videos have been steadily improving!
Question for you: What do you do to increase your video game collection as you have done?
Second question is how do you find the time to play?
Thank you so much! It's good to see you in the comments again.
I try to find discounted prices on games at stores and at charity shops. Also, at conventions, you can often get very good deals if you buy a large amount all at once.
Finding time is difficult, but I make it a habit not to waste time doing things that don't benefit me. I try not to spend too much time on my phone unless it's for youtube reasons. I don't watch much TV. I try to make fun games with my children that involve cleaning the house.
...I sleep less 😅
I played my first shoot em up this week and I have never been so thrilled and angry playing a short game
Welcome to the wonderful world of shmups! Very fun... and frustrating!
Dragon Warrior ll for the NES is brutal. Your party feels overwhelmed and outmatched throughout the entire game. The last couple of areas are absolute hell.
You're not the first person to mention this!
It's hard, but beatable. Takes lots of time and lots of luck. iirc the last areas are hard because of the instead death spells, no?
Regardless, it really is the worst game I've played in the series. Easily. Much like Final Fantasy 2.
Yeah, buddy! Two of my favourite games on this list. Divinity and Bloodborne. Divinity was great once you realized you could use elemental damage to make every battle pretty easy. Also, breaking the game [completely by design] by using the teleport devices. It has a great RPG story and cool characters IMO. Very in depth and I can't wait to get around to playing the new Baldurs Gate.
Bloodborne now, this game is legendary because of the hidden Insight system that gets overlooked. Building up high insight is incredible. Makes the environment noisier, the enemies have new attacks and visuals, and you understand the deep lore of the game. The trick weapon system was also brilliant. Great games, great episode! Cheers.
Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you liked the video.
Bloodborne is one of my favorite games of all time. Divinity was a struggle for us, but we still ranked it highly.
My man!, I was really good at Bayou Billy 😂, here’s a couple super tough NES games Zanac who had a great song, and Deadly Towers. Thank you for the video!!
I've played a lot of Zanac! Deadly Towers is in my backlog somewhere!
I'm surprised anyone was good at Bayou Billy 🤣
Big fan of your channel mate you actually inspired me to start my own CZcams channel Retro Head!
Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help inspire you to share something you love with the rest of the world. It's hard work, but very rewarding.
I'll go check out your channel!
Well said in everything about Battletoads. I beat Battlemaniacs in the Super Nintendo, it helped me get better at the NES one but it still was so difficult I couldn’t get much past the surf board level, it does suck worse than the turbo tunnel.
It's just a cavalcade of impossible levels! I'm surprised I was ever able to beat it
I'm surprised you didn't mention TMNT on the NES - the original one. OMG, it's one of the hardest and most frustrating games of all time. I had a hard time as a kid and now I'm 40 years old and still find it super hard.
There are more videos coming! Maybe it'll make the next list!
Aw man I had the exact same experience with Divinity 2, really wanted to love the game but it drove me mad at every turn! Love tye channel 👍👍
I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel! That means a lot to me. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that gets stuck on CRPGs!
Here's a tip to make crpgs quite easy (or easier anyway). Be really specific in levelling your characters. Don't aim to be jack of all trades, specialize each character to have one particular strength. If you have a squad of 6 have 3 melee heavy warriors, then 3 ranged with say 2 magic and one bow, so basically you split the team half melee, half range. Don't be tempted to have balanced team members, just a balanced team. Also have range and melee weapons for all characters so you can swap as needs be.
That's what I typically try to do! Maybe I'm just bad at building out my team
@@RNGGamerYTAlso specify your buffs and spells to the strengths of each team member. An extra tip is to grind early on to level up and the cruise through the rest of the game.
I'm 42 years old and as a kid I suffered R-Type on Game Boy and Battle Toads on NES. I tried so hard and at a certain point it was no fun anymore.
We're the same age and had similar experiences 🤣
"Palm trees .. and 8" Does that ring any bells? Mystic Quest on Game Boy. I was already traumatized by various Game Boy games and then I got the NES in combination with Zelda II completely in English (I'm German and was in third grade at the time). I played a lot but I can't tell you if it was fun.
@aimlevel I've never actually tried it.
TMNT for the NES. Some of carts had a program error that you wouldn’t automatically throw the rope to cross buildings. That pretty much ended the game for that cartridge.
I didn't know some of them were messed up like that!
About 6 months ago I downloaded Tetris99 on the Nintendo switch. It's a free game, thought I'd give it a try. I really liked tetris as a child, loved Pokémon puzzle league and Lumines. So I'm feeling pretty good about myself when it comes to these types of games. Boy oh boy.. it took me months to finally get to the top spot in tetris 99. But I wasn't going to stop playing until I made it to the top of that mountain. And it felt great. If you haven't tried it yet and enjoy that style of game I'd say give it a shot.
Love your videos . Keep up the good work
Thanks for watching my videos! I'm so thrilled you've enjoyed them.
I watched a lot of Northernlion stream Tetris 99. It's wild. I'm not sure I would be very good at it 😅
I had to give up on Sekiro man, I had just beaten Dark Souls 3 and I couldn't force myself to go through all that stress again
I totally get that. Having to play through any two Souls games back to back would be s very daunting task
Hey man the alogorithm brought you to me. Loved this video cant wait to go through and watch your other videos.
Thanks! I'm so glad the algorithm did me a favor.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch my other videos!
I gotta say like, on a sidenote? I love how involved you are with your watchers. You really take the effort to respond to everyone, that's awesome
I love my watchers! I want to build a community, not just a following.
I've been answering comments for over an hour this morning!
And just quickly, "super thunder blade". Wow, that was hard. I played that when I was 8.... finally beat it when I was 27. There was a rumour it was so hard because the makers didn't have an ending. But wow, what a fun game
@jake90052 I've never actually played any of the Thunder Blade games! I like helicopters and After Burner style games. Maybe I'll finally try it out
@@RNGGamerYT brace yourself man, that game is hardcore!! Glad to see your stream building a following
@jake90052 the streaming is a slow build. I mainly do it to build a community with the people who are already subscribed. It's also nice to have a guaranteed 3 hour gaming session every week
I had Bayou Billy growing up and I don't think I ever made it past the second stage. I was so annoyed because I wanted to get to the light gun stage so darn bad and I never could do it.
I could get past the turbo tunnel stage on Battletoads but don't think I could master the surfing.
Double Dragon I could not get past stage 3 if I remember right. Thanks for the memories.
I'm glad we share the same PTSD experiences with these games! Thanks for watching 😁
Bayou Billy was literally unbeatable to kids. Also you mentioned Bloodbourne, but Sekiro is WAY harder to me. the last guy, Isshin, is in my top 3 for hardest encounters in any video game.
I'm sure seikiro is way harder. But, I haven't played it yet.
I almost want to tell you not to lol. It's brutal!@@RNGGamerYT
@ChairmanMeow1 haha
Wasn't unbeatable but it was insanely hard. I dont know how long it too me to beat it but it was a long time. It was a christmas present and back then we didnt get games all the time like today. You had no choice but to beat them.
Liked and subscribed after watching you for the first time. Incredibly entertaining content!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the content. That means the world to me
The original Megaman drove me nuts. It didn't have any instructions to even tell you about swapping powers. Whoever said they can beat it with just the cannon is full of it. Elec-man takes no damage from the cannon. Trust me, I tried.
It'll probably make the list on the next video!
I got battletoads for Christmas at like 6 years old. Needless to say I pretty much just played the first 2 levels on repeat until finding something better to do
You had the same experience as 99% of the people who ever played it 🤣
I only managed about 3 hours or so of divinity before I got rid of it, one of the worst most frustrating god awful games I’ve ever played and it drives me insane I seem to be the only one in gaming that hates it so bad
I can see how you feel that way. There was a lot about it that I didn't like, too. But after I learned how to play it, it got better. But I still don't think it deserves all of the fanatical praise it gets
this is great content brother man subbed!
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
R-type and Raiden ps1 are my favorite shooters of all time. I used to play rtype every week at the arcades but only got to the big battleship level but i still love it and you are right you gotta have a good memory. When it came out to the sega master system (good port btw) i finally beat it but remembering certain area's is a must!
R-Type is one of my favorites! Raiden is also great... but it's a couple of tiers down for me. I get really frustrated with it 😆
I'll have to try out the Master System version of R-type
As somebody that finished Original Sin 2 a couple of times, my view is that character builds are the secret for this game.
In the first run I went for some balanced characters and they were quickly thrashed. They did too many things but were masters of none, so I had to resort to this kind of tactic you describe. Preset the battlefield, pre-position characters.
In the second run we had some archetype characters. A tank, a glass cannon archer with lots of mobility, a healer/buffer and a somewhat squishy barbarian that did decent damage. The run was a breeze
Now, the crpg I had a hard time playing was Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It is a really good game, but it always needs you to have the correct team and do the correct tactic or the game is over. And there is no build that will save you from redoing a lot of battles.
See, that's the thing with CRPGs! You found out how to breeze through the game... after playing through it already and learning how to exploit it. It's like having to go through college twice. The second time is easier because you know all of the easiest classes to take and what professors grade the easiest. 🤣
I haven't played any of the Pathfinder games... if you struggled, I may have to avoid them
"And I'm talking about not cheesing the game"
I took that personal 😂
So many people do!!! 😁
NES TMNT was one of the few games I never could beat as a kid. The often bemoaned water level wasn't hard at all, but I just couldn't get through later levels.
I never had much trouble with the water level either... but the end was killer
Im hooked, awesome video, and color me newly subscribed!
And yeah, i play games like you do. The save scum stuff kills me. But yeah, when i het a new game i try to skip tutorials and just dive in. Except the old school Nintendo manuals, those were required reading.
I'm so thankful that you enjoyed the video! Glad to hear that there are other people out there that feel the same as me
Bloodborne is the game that unlocked the Soulsborne genre for me. Absolute masterpiece, up there with The Witcher 3 and New Vegas as my favorite games of all time.
The Witcher 3 is another one that I love!
I haven't played New Vegas yet, but I have a tendency to not like Fallout games. I'm hoping it's the one that wins me over 😄
@@RNGGamerYT i would suggest making yourself get through Fallout 1 and 2 first. A lot of New Vegas’ appeal is the continuation of the world building that took place in those first two…. 3, 4 and 76 are technically set in the same universe but the fallout games set in the west have a totally different vibe from the fallout games set in the east.
The turbo tunnel used to send my older brother and I in tears from laughter after one of us died from hitting the walls 😂😂
It's really funny... the first 40 times you do it... after that, no none is laughing 🤣
Totally forgot about Bayou Billy. That really brings back memories! I remember being so excited for contra 4.. until I played it.
They are both so stupidly hard!
I couldn’t beat a single R-Type game on every console that’s how terrible I am
It's really hard... one of the hardest games of all time
I know right I barely made any progress playing it on my iPad and my sister Mac book air laptop
I've recently been playing the first D:OS and everything you say I feel. You have to fight every battle in exactly the right order to be levelled enough to get through, the game is horrendously obtuse, and of course fun stuff like walking into a trap that spews lava everywhere and destroys treasure chests forever.
There are dozens of people like us hidden in the masses that say it's the easiest game of all time! 😂
First time seeing your channel, i can relate good stuff bro.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found me and enjoyed the video
Did play Salamander and Nemesis on MSX when i was little. Me and my friend did spend an entire summer to beat both two games.
They are extra hard on the MSX... that scrolling 🤣
Good video, I'll be sure to avoid those. Remember I had problems with Divinity 2 before I happily traded it in. My personal hardest game conquests were beating Castlevania and Castlevania 3 as well as first 2 game boy titles,the SNES Castlevania 4,and Bloodlines. Those are the only harder titles I still play on occasion,via the anthology collection which is far more forgiving because of the save feature. I'm 42,so my days of playing aggravating hard games are over,as life is tough enough. I just game to have fun and get some entertainment out of it. I can see how earlier devs on Nintendo,etc. were really sadistic on the player,something that echoes in Bloodborne,for instance. Another game that's a bit hard by today's standards that I really enjoy however and beat maybe 30 times with all character classes is the original Diablo. It can be tough at times,but I find it very fun and addictive. I like how now with modern games,you as the player can choose the difficulty and make it as easy as you like or as hard as you want. I think that's a positive step.
I agree that having difficulty settings is a step in the right direction.
You sound like you're a pretty accomplished gamer! All of those Castlevania games are brutal.
I don't mind a good challenge. But, I won't spend ages on a game if I'm not making progress!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've never played any of the games you mentioned, but I have purchased Elden Ring. I haven't played it yet, though. I usually stay away from really hard games because they're taxing on my arthritic hands, and they're not very relaxing. I mainly play video games to relax, not to get more stressed
I lot of people feel just like you! Embrace your age. You earned those tired hands
In the Lumber Mill level in Tomb Raider Chronicles on PS1, I tried swinging from the rope to the ledges and never made it there; I tried so many times and I failed each time.
I also have a history of missing ledges in Tomb Raider games. Don't feel bad. There are a lot of us. We meet on Saturday nights to share our feelings 🤣
I am a GIGANTIC fan of the first three Resident Evils, but number 4 is a different story. I don't know what it was but that game kicked my ass from the get go. I got suck almost at the beginning, rage quit over and over and never even came anywhere close to beating it.
That's crazy! Maybe it's an issue with the controls. I found the first 3 games to be harder
My step brother and I beat BattleToads in the 90s but it took a long time. It left such and impression I can still recall some images of the game from back then like it was yesterday. Tough game.
I'm very impressed that you were able to beat it in co-op with your brother. What an incredible feat!
@@RNGGamerYT Caused many fights between us lol. It was a brutal game to get through
@vikinglife6316 I bet it was!
DOS2 is soooo much fun, though.
It definitely requires some outside research to be good, but when it clicks, it's amazing.
It was a lot of fun! We just got frustrated a lot!
I beat Punchout, I beat Battletoads, I beat Ninja Gaiden but Bayou Billy broke me. I tried and failed so many times I gave the game to one of my cousins. Some newer games are hard but doable if just beating the game is your goal. They get insane later on when you try to complete them 100%. I still never completed every bandage from Super Meat Boy and still had a few medals from Trials Evolution I couldn't get.
Bayou Billy broke everyone 😆 trials evolution is so... so... so hard
Body harvest on n64 was mental hard took me 2 years to complete 😅
I haven't played it! I'll be on the lookout for it
Wow, the three day weekend rental nes game sessions I had were so challenging but usually fun for me. There was also a Trade center in the 1990s were I could and trade-in games for buy with cash. Games had point values, so you had to usually trade in up to three low tier games for one top tier game like Legend of Zelda for NES.
That's an interesting idea for trading in games. I've never heard of anything like that before.
We had some crazy weekend rental sessions as well 😄
I'm shocked Blastermaster didn't make the list. That game wrecked me but I beat it. I remember getting to certain sections of the game and would start over if I burned to many lives because later part of the game were so difficult that I needed a certain amount of lives to get past it.
Blastermaster could probably make the list! But, I've never beaten it myself. Maybe it'll be in a future video
Dude, Bayou Billy was the first game that ever made me rage quit! Good call on including it here.
Lol... we have that in common!
I remember having a Nintendo Power subscription. I still have paperback strategy guides for older games. Now that everything is online, there are no more guides like we used to get.
The internet is a disaster of broken up forums and information scattered all over the place. I truly miss those handheld paperback guides, like for Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy games, my friends and I had a blast, one of us would read out the info while a buddy ran through. If one of us couldn't do it, the other would grab the controller. Good times.
I miss them, too. But I'll admit that a couple of times I used them, they had errors that caused me to soft lock my game 🤣
@@RNGGamerYT I'm currently playing Granblue Fantasy Relink. I really wish I could buy a guide for it, even a PDF professional guide released by the developers but it's still incredible! Good content man! I love the Bayou Billy part, frustrating memories! It was like child abuse! Brutal console child abuse! Jeeesh!
@@EddieCensored haha! It really was tough!
I need to try out the Granblue Fantasy games
I only beat Bloodborne because I played about 70% of it co-op with a seasoned player. Jak 2 always comes to mind first when I think of hard games that I beat, especially games that I found difficult from start to finish (vs. games that had a brutal last level, like Rez).
I've never played any of the souls games co-op... was it fun?
I also haven't played any of the Jak games. They are all in the backlog 😁
@@RNGGamerYT I was fun, but in From fashion, more difficult than it needed to be. Certain areas you couldn't do co-op, you need a bell to call a co-op partner, and if they die, you're alone and have to wait until you can call them again if you're in a boss fight, and just overly complicated.
@ebbderelict sounds like a pain!
