I ****ing Did It!

[Xanatos]

I finally managed to beat Gargoyle's Quest: Ghosts 'n Goblins. This game was the bane of my childhood. Clearly I'm exaggerating It's a challenging game for sure, although looking at it now not nearly as hard as I recall. There are only two instances where I felt it's hard in a cheap kind of way. The final boss is disappointingly easy, the only tricky thing about him is hitting his weak spot. Overall a damn fine game. The kid in me is so happy and proud right now

Any games that kicked your ass?

I've finished Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES) multiple times on both single player n (mostly) co-op altho sometimes Id get stuck on a couple stages for a lil longer than I liked no matter how hard I focused.

Zombies ate my Neighbour's kicks my ass every time I've gone back in an attempt to finish it. You can skip levels by using the passwords given to u but I find them useless since u need to build ur inventory as u complete each level (furthest level Ive reached is 28). I always start from level 1 anyways its just a really fun game.

In Bloodborne I found Amygdala n Ebriates the most challenging bc the design of those assholes kept making me gag#trypophobic. The AI is the best Ive seen in a game taking on the small fry was too risky at times so I felt I had no choice bt to run past em esp when all my focus was on defeating a boss (optional or not). I had a few one-offs in Bloodborne tho with Micolash, Vicar Amelia, Bloodstarved beast, Shadow of Yharnam n surprisingly most of the chalice dungeon bosses incl that pretty Watchdog.

If it werent for Einhander's (PS1) godly ost to carry me I wouldnt have delved so far into that game. The epic music was so in sync with the chaos. It kicks in where you're in the middle of dodging a million projectiles while dishing out a million of bullets from your gunpod. They absolutely knew how to compose a boss battle song just as lengthy as to fit the boss battle patterns.

My 2 fave hack n slash games DMC3 and Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox360) were enjoyably difficult. Moreso Ninja Gaiden 2 bc I found the gameplay 10x better. Its faster n more fluid n I like all the gore.

The first Bubsy (SNES) like..

1 hit kills
EVERYTHING hurts you.
9 lives.

That shit annoys me in a platformer.

I'm still trying to master Tetris Attack/Panel De Pon for snes very hard difficulty with no continues to get the best ending. I have made it as far as the last stage but then I'd blow it. I'm trying not only to get through the very hard difficulty, I'm trying to get to the level of skill of the people on YouTube who can get high amount of chains and their way of doing it is raising the stack to a really high level. I'm capable of doing that and handling it but there are times I can't hold down a bunch of chains.

Definitely progressing though, I managed a 11x chain during my intense vs mode sessions this evening.

Congrats on everyone's gaming victories!

Hmm, difficult games...

Well, I can't get past the first level on any of the Kaizo Mario World games.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is crazy-hard. I still play it from time to time just to hear the music.

I've never been able to complete Round 2 Mode on Pokemon Stadium 2. I've been trying to complete it off and on for years, but I never have.

Also, I've never been able to defeat the final boss of Banjo-Kazooie. Granted, I haven't tried for years, but I could never defeat the boss's final form. Maybe one day, haha.

My ass gets handed to me fast and often in most games because I always start on the highest difficulty. Unless Fallout or Elder Scrolls. I'm not that much of a masochist.

To this day though, I haven't yet beat Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts II. I swear, my mind can't pick up QTB that quickly.

[Spooniest]

Yesterday, today, and probably until the end of time, I was, am, and will be unable to beat Ninja Gaiden 1 ever again. That's the NES one, I mean.

That there level 6-3 can kiss my patootey.

I RNG'd my way through the Demifiend fight in digital devil saga, does that count?

I have an update to my Tetris attack progress. Since I have last posted, I have beat vs mode very hard difficulty with no continues at least twice so far.
