Nonsense.

The truth is that games are far easier now than they've ever been . If you don't believe me, try playing the original Battletoads on the NES. Back then, most games were crazily hard to make up for being short on content.

You're just making up excuses for being a rubbish gamer.

Na lie you lie Ninja Gaiden on xbox 1[b] the original game[/b] is the hardest game i have played. I have been playing it for a few years now and still haven't beat it. I pick it up ever so often and when i get frustrated i see it in another couple of months

ritchboy:

I finished Ninja Gaiden(Xbox) in a week. The difficulty was dumbed down from the NES games. There is one particular stage in the ORIGINAL Ninja Gaiden game that's almost impossible to beat.

Where are you stuck?

Where is the joy in a game if you can finish it in one day at the first try? I know some games can be annoyingly difficult that you feel like driving over the disc with a steam roller but one has to relish the days when you go to bed dreaming about alternative ways to defeat a boss or complete a level. Challenges that are not easily bested usually have the most delicious victories lingering afterwards.

One of such memories for me was in defeating The End in Snake Eater (MGS3). After many weeks of trying to beat that nasty geezer I had become exasperated but when I finally got him in a corner the joy in spraying him with my XM16E1 was boundless. Then there was finishing the Homeland Security stage of MW2 Spec Ops in Veteran mode. I probably tried that level about 200 times before I could finish it but that was a victory that I always relish.

You've just got to love such games.

well i guess my level of frustration is shorter than yours i'm stuck at the spot where you fight this demon slimy looking thing in an open field. I dont know exactly what to cut on it and i keep running around and jumping and jumping until it gets me not to mention i dont have enough health orbs

@moodie.u mean vergil in mission 20 cos in 19 u both team up to fight arkham.dat guy is a hell of a boss!.I later killed him after about 30 tries or even more.here's aw I did it
u can replay mission 19 to get enough orbs to buy 2vital star small.nd 1large vital star.then use trickster to evade his attacks wen he's in devil trigger mode,use your ebony nd ivory 2 attack him from afar.wen he returns back 2 normal u devil trigger nd attack him.try as much as possible not to allow him attack u with his deadly 4 hit combo.continue repeating those sequences,d fight maybe long but u gotta b patient.he might throw his sword @ u occasionally wen u r too far from him so b alert.wen his life is about one third.he will start creating some devastating attacks.use your trickster to evade dem by jumping then pressing circle.jst run 4 your lyf.den continue d attack sequence nd u r done.though its easier said than done but after maybe 40 tries u shud defeat him.third.he will start creating some devastating attacks.use your trickster to evade dem by jumping then pressing circle.jst run 4 your lyf.den continue d attack sequence nd u r done.though its easier said than done but after maybe 40 tries u shud defeat him.

Touchdown!!!

I played Megaman recently just to refresh it's stupendous difficulty in my mind

I can't even think of any really difficult console (retail) game in the last decade. The only games i might find challenging nowadays are DLC, i.e Super Meat Boy.

Come on, Ninja Gaiden is a "two day" game.

suprted:

Dude, did you know that if you set the clock of your ps2 like one week ahead, the guy will have died of old age?

whobemumu:

i used to ove video games but i noticed that they are getting too hard

i mean if u havent got anything to do then they are very good for passing the time but for those of us who have got jobs

or maybe going to school u just cant afford to sit in front of tv for hours n end playing games

the other option is to miss out on the most popular games and pay '' trash '' that u wouldnt normally play

i mean look at God of war 3 ( after the labyrinth )

or pes 2011 ,

gone are the days when u do 1-2 and score now its like rocket science to be able to play games

i just cant spare that amount of time

i guess am gonna have to give up gaming
