What do you think is the hardest game ever? (Touhou: LoLK)

[Dwolfin]

I believe, of all the thousands of games I have played, the hardest of them all or at least one of them, is Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.

You either defeat the Lunatic Kingdom, or lose your sanity.

This game has challenge and insane or lunatic levels of insanity of what it expects you to do. This game can be water downed and easy with the checkpoint system that makes the game crazy easier (because its so insane ZUN had to make a whole new game mode so most people could beat it)

This game simply brings levels of challenge that not a single souls game, or the likes of battle toad could ever bring to the table in sheer skill and power, and it genuinely makes me wonder what games out there are harder.

People used to say Subterranean Animism, but now the peaks of LoLK I believe it can't even scratch at. SA and LoLK are definitely games that are up there at the peak. There are bullet hells that are insanely harder in other series, but I believe LoLK actually saught to possibly be one of the hardest ones ever.

It may not be THE hardest game ever, but it is, likely one of the hardest games ever.

gundemonium recollection. touhou is easy compared to that. too bad they took it off steam.

IS SA and LoLK not on an even level? These are not normal Touhou games.

I found sa easier, but then I played it much more than lolk

Mortal Kombat Mythologies isn't hard, per say.

It's unfair, what with all the leaps of faith you have to make into pits and off sections of the bridge, but that makes mastering it all the more satisfying. Which I did... WITHOUT any walkthrough or strategy guide.

Of course, the N64 version is crippled by the terrible controller, but nobody should play that version.

Agreed.

It took me over 40 hours to beat that game for the first time. It then took about another 15 hours to beat it a second time.

Almost 60 hours of playtime, and two wins, and I am still not confident in my ability to beat it.

Credit, where credit is due, have some well deserved points along with my utmost respect.

SA is a pretty normal touhou game, it's only made slightly more difficult since it relies more on reaction time than actual memorization (and that every shot type is garbage except for like 2)

LoLK is difficult because ZUN made each pattern with the expectation you'd be using save point mode for them. But even then, no touhou game is that hard if you use continues. It's when you go for a 1cc that they actually have some challenge to them.
Also again, resources are *really* easy to get in LoLK if you have a basic idea of how the main scoring mechanic works.

4 Games I found rather insane...rather, their modes.

1: Black Ops 3 Reality Mode
If you think shooters are insane, the reality mode for BO3 has it to where any bullet that hits you, is death, any bomb, death, falling? Death. You'll be lucky to leave the starting mission without more then ten over all and thats only if your good at dodging, oh and dont bother trying to take cover, the AI's also charge you when you do so no rest for the player

2: Doom Eternal Ultra-Nightmare
Basically welcome to the mode where if you die, your save gets deleted. Forever. No recovering it, want to die? Thats fine but just note that everything you got is gone forever.

3: Men of War 2 Hard-modes
Normally the AI in this game is not great and while it never improves, the way it gets harder is by making the enemy throw more difficult things at you the more you advance. In easy mode when you say, do the first US map, the Germans call in the Tiger only after your going for their final point, on hard they call it instead at the halfway point and then by the end they have 5 that constantly respawn.

4: Touhou Lunatic mode.
I love my bullet hells but Touhou makes me understand why I never went to a japanese high school, I dont think I could survive academically when one day all I find left of the school is a bombed out concrete building with more blades in it then Caeser saw before death. Lets I also forget that I got glasses and a big screen and I still have screenburn on my eyes from the last map I tried.

Also Bad Apple best song, wish it was in one of the games tho
