Hardest Video Games

[Vaildez]

So I was browsing the Internet and saw a site talking about the hardest video games of all time. I started looking through other similar lists and no mention of EQ... I feel like original EQ got totally snubbed and is much more challenging than many games on these lists.

eq isnt known for its skill cap, its known as a time sink. wasting time != hard.

MMOs will never be included because these really "most difficult games to complete" which you obviously can't do with EQ.

I don't see how Lost Levels could possibly make that list. Also I think Bart's Nightmare belongs somewhere on a "hardest games" list. That game is insane.

Demon Souls / Dark Souls - great games, bloody hard games!

Yeah I didn't get Lost Levels, it's only like slightly harder than Mario 1. The article also says the poison mushrooms look exactly the same as good mushrooms, but I don't remember it being like that at all. Kaizo Mario makes Lost Levels look like a bitch.

Well as far as MMOs go EQ is way harder than any other I've played and it goes way beyond the time sink. Most other games you can just run around without needing to pay attention to your surroundings. Also the stiff death penalties and corpse retrieval make it a biatch.

There's nothing difficult about any MMO's, Like Samwise said they are timesinks, EQ may be the most skill intensive but you're comparing basic motor function (EQ) to a paraplegic (WoW).

Final stage of Lost Levels is a PITA, I can see it getting on the list for that alone, the rest was simply Megaman level annoyingly hard.
