That's just really a bad idea . I went to play black ops 1 on veteran . They literally programmed the enemies accuracy to 90 % . So whenever i got to a gun fight it wasn't a fight it was just fending off unfair ai. It's possible to win but not for me .

No game company would put in a trophy that’s unachievable 🤷‍♂️ but what you said is somewhat correct, you have to remember much of the layout of areas, especially in the mines. It’s really nothing else but trial and error. If you fail, learn from the mistakes you made and be better next time. It’s grueling to have to start over from the very beginning but that’s just the way it is. This is really only for hardcore gamers, like myself

OMG cod waw veteran. I actually beat it but yeah That grenade icon and noise from waw gives me a heart attack... PS.) DMC4 he'll n hell is set on son of Sparda mode so it's not too difficult. Dante must die is technically harder due to more enemies, stronger enemies that can kill you in 3 hits but have a ton of health, and ALL enemies have devil trigger. Making them even more durable and damaging.

[@GodOfOrphans]

plus Hell and Hell mode ranking doesn't matter so you can just use Super characters whereas DMD mode still has incentive to go for those S ranks so no super characters if you want those sweet sweet S ranks (I haven't played Special edition so this is all referring to the original I don't know if the Special Edition added rankings for the And Hell modes)

[@conor9745]

Yeah I agree. I would of put the Dante must die mode from dmc3 on this list instead. That game on Dante must die is fucking insane. Some enemies basically turn into bosses when they devil trigger lol. Dmc4 in general wasn't really that bad even on Dante must die. Nero's mission weren't that bad anyway. Dante's mission were a pain in the ass. It was still not nearly as insane as dmc3 was though.

[@dowman5]

I just watched this list, and rushed through the comments to find the DMC4 entry discussion. It didn't disappoint. I didn't use the super costumes through Hell and Hell, but even so, the only time I had trouble finishing was against Dante. He's the only DMC4 boss that was as difficult as the DMC3 ones. DMC3 DMD, though? Ooh boy. Especially level 18 with that chessboard. It took me ages to figure out how to beat that without spamming holy waters, even after figuring out that all you have to do is kill the king. Jesus.

[@conor9745]

[@LortOfTheStones]

A plus one on Hell and Hell mode, I might not be the only one with this, but I make it even harder for myself. Normally you get 3 gold orbs, that means you can be hit a total of 4 times during a level, until you get a game over. Now, using gold orbs is -at least for me- accepting that I am weak, so instead of using any I restart the level. That means I either have a perfect run through all the fights and the level boss if there is any, or start it all over.

[@CSSLZT13]

Agreed. Veteran WaW is a whole other game, practically -- one of patience, skill, and a whole lotta luck, making it one of the most tense experiences I've ever gone through. Also, Heart of the Reich has the one checkpoint that is practically impossible to progress through on Veteran, and I only beat that due to a weird glitch. (I went into the co-op mode on Recruit, then returned to singleplayer Veteran Heart of the Reich, and for some reason, my health pool was as big as on Recruit, even though enemy accuracy was still at Veteran levels. Only died once past that infamous checkpoint, and when the game reset, I still had the Recruit health pool. I'm just glad I'm still not there anymore.)

Halo 2 LASO. Jackal snipers. Bezerking brutes. Flood hallways. Good God almighty, speedrunning only exists because the missions were too hard to beat normally.

[@michaelscardino8614]

A sudden death mod that makes the Arkham Knight / City / Asylum / Orgins nearly impossible. Two unarmed attacks or of anything else; one bullet, one electrical shock, one explosive, etc will kill you. I tried the difficulty after I played the games on hard. I'm pretty sure I developed a brain condition from the panic and anxiety that I endured while playing that difficulty.

[@humansaredumfuckthemtodeat9461]

I am the knight mode in arkham city and arkham origins . I never completed that mode but I feel the vibes of that one . I would always quickly hit start than reload check point cause once you died it's game over . I would know when I failed so I would fast hit start into restart checkpoint . That's the only thing that can save you from game over on I am the knight mode . I got pretty far in the story now thinking of it it's origins I don't recall city having I am the knight mode but I never played it in origins I did and almost beat it but lost interest due to the nerve wracking experience it causes the user .

[@reubenp7840]

I actually beat xcom legendary ironman. Took me a LOT of tries, but honestly if you beat the first 4 or 5 missions and make good choices then its pretty doable

[@swanky2202]

Unless the game randomly decides to xcom you when you miss like 4 95% shots in a row.

[@donjuan3182]

lunatic+ in awakening is the definition of fake hard at the start of the game. Enemies will have completely broken skills that you literally can't win against in the early levels, so you have to keep restarting until they appear without skills that won't break the game in the first 5 levels.

Dishonored 2 Iron Mode, Very Hard, Flesh and Steel, Clean Hands and No Detections I'll explain these bit by bit: Iron Mode: You can't save your game manually (Quicksaves and restarting the mission is not allowed) the only method of saving is by exiting an area or when the game autosaves for you (You cannot access these autosaves as these are erased once you complete a level) If you die, your saved game is erased Very Hard: Enemies are incredibly perceptive, have higher accuracy and can see you while leaning out of cover and you're completely visible in bright light then your footsteps are so loud that everyone will find out where you are just by running Flesh and Steel: You have to reject the Outsider's Mark when you attempt this No Detections: Complete the whole game without being spotted at least once Clean Hands: Avoid killing just about everyone

[@Dullsonic3]

I know it's not a difficulty, but i still want to talk about it. It's in a very underrated bullet hell/rhythm all about bosses called "Noisz". If you beat the final boss on the highest difficulty, you are awarded with a hidden style called true lunatic. It makes you as OP as you were in the final boss, but on one major condition. you die in ONE HIT!! Try doing that on any of the bosses on overload and you are going to have a bad time! It will take you many hours of practice just to beat a level 10+ boss! Thought it's bad? Well, in a upcoming expansion, it will add a even higher difficulty then overload known as Re:||venge! So imagine true lunatic while fighting bosses on that difficulty! But still, more people need to play this game!

I beat COD WAW on Veteran Difficulty and that may have just been the most difficult thing I have ever done. I got the purple heart achievement already on the second level and sometimes I'd be stuck on the same checkpoint for hours. Blowtorch & Corkscrew was probaly the hardest mission of all, with the part where you're supposed to attack that Japanease bunker.

[@haydenbrannan7187]

COD: Grenades at War is what I used to cal it. But I’ve beaten it on veteran and done Doom(2016) on ultra nightmare. And honestly call of duty was a lot harder and I was a teenager then and had insanely good hand eye coordination at the time. You had to build certain paths through sections to grab checkpoints and even then you had to rely on luck to not have a grenade drop in on you while you’re gaining health and if it does and you try to move cover you’ll still die bc your health is already low. It was awful but I had to continue my 100% completion train of COD games

Call of Duty: World at War's veteran mode wasn't that hard, just some grenades they throw at you, that you have to be ready to throw back. You can still take more bullets than the average soldier, just cover yourself whenever you get shot and let natural regeneration work wonders. Good luck speedrunning this though.

[@MattrickBT]

Speedrunning is gay though.

Cod 4s vet mode is harder, black ops 3 realistic was a lot harder than grenades at wars vet mode..

[@ngrav4732]

Oh boy, BO3's realistic diff. literally made me a 1-2shot, I almost forgot about that diff, I spent about 35 hours hiding from cover to cover, checkpoint to checkpoint. It felt a lot harder than the grenade nazis and ninjas. And that last mission, OOOOOOOOF.

[@hudder13597]

Black Ops 3's Realistic mode was so stupid. It took over 2 hours to complete the last mission because of the ridiculous spawns of you and enemies after cut-scenes, and the way that even after you kill an enemy they often fly away as crows only to re-appear and shoot at you again, like once wasn't enough. Having said that, it didn't take me THAT long, only perhaps 3 days to complete it on realistic difficulty. It was my first play-through of the campaign too, so I didn't have the ability to use all 3 skill sets, so that made it a lot harder too and I used the Chaos Tree. And when I'd finished the campaign, I wasn't even max rank yet, I was on 19/20. But yeah, the infinite spawning enemies on missions number 7 and 11, were so enraging.
