I want a game so hard that you can die in the tutorial. And even the tutorial is brutally hard.

And let’s make the final boss instant kill you during a cutscene to catch you off guard… and your last save point will be 40 minutes ago as well. Lol.

How about this one? I wouldn't exactly call it hard at all, but it is brutal in another way.

Age of Empires on the Nintendo DS. Go and buy the cartridge and play it. Enter your name as a three lettered word. Play the game and when you save marvel at the fact that cartridge is now permanently corrupted.

Not only has your save gone but the actual game too.

End-game progression raids in "old-school" Everquest. WoW was cake compared to that. (Not sure if that counts)

For single-player gaming, it'd likely be something old-school, too. There really aren't any terribly difficult, popular, new games.

(Sorry, but "Dark Soul" and like games are simply "old-school cool." Anyone who spent hours watching people take turns playing Zelda and trying to get past certain bosses/areas or had Castlevania parties on the weekend can attest to that. Great games, though, no doubt.)

The most intense, difficult, I can think of atm is always going to be one session in a popular game at the time, but playing with a Total Conversion mod, which I'd think doesn't count.

Oh boy yes. Old school Everquest was, compared to WOW, tough. Even vanialla to some degree.

I used to play the PS2 version which weas obviously different but built much the same. It was INCREDIBLY difficult to play it solo, nigh on impossible in most respects. And levelling was far slower, so if you wandered into an area that was just one level above you, you were mincemeat.

I never got to play high level raids on original but I can absolutely imagine how brutal it must have been.

I invite anyone to play crazy and suicidal difficulty. Lets see how long they will last.

Hotline Miami

One of the few games that can actively piss me off

There's a really good point that Hotline Miami demonstrates and I wish more games would get it and employ it.

It's a fast paced game, and you can die in a flicker of an eye. And sure, it can piss you off. But it mitigates that by respawning QUICKLY.

This often gets overlooked by games. How many times have I played games where you get a sticking point and you die repeatedly yet because it takes too long to respawn or reload it gets fruistrating quickly?

You can play slow games /turn games and get crushed. Try strategy games as one I posted lets see how far speed will take you even if you don't do meticulous calculation and strategize every little move and adapt strategies with so many factors and mechanics that affect game play that make most conventional games look like a joke.

Also good luck to anyone trying it as convectional game

A great point.

Speed ain't the only metric by any means, as you rightly say.

I would even go as far as to point to speedrunners. Not necessarily the best twitchy gamers but people who so logically and thoughtfully dismantle the games that they break them in astonishing ways.

Take for instance how the recent "true" ending of Tetris came about. To get into the meat of the game code to diligently study to find out every time a level causes a crash and then plan around that is something else.

I play planetside 2 , give it solo a try in term of speed vs hotline miami than let me know, how long you will last against other humans in zerg rush vs Ai in hotline miami.

More than skills your reflects and visual cues in speed games are what guide you stratagize but no where near complex strategy games.
