7 Crushing Difficulty Spikes That Will Utterly Destroy You

[@aryamangupta3661]

Playing uncharted 3 on hard almost convinced me I'm color blind as I only saw back and white.....

[@woollyclouds2677]

Hah! I know that feeling!😭

[@Kay9Perfection]

+Mel Zemourit I went for the platinums for all three of the games, so I had to play on crushing difficulty. There's always one point that seems so unfair

[@taokakatheneko7613]

same here mate i thought i broke my tv

[@thomasdavidge9813]

+Aryaman Gupta Completing them all on the Crushing for the plat was one of the most horrific experiences, ever.

[@KhashayarJan]

After playing Uncharted 1 on hard, I realized it's not as hard as The Last of Us so I played 2 and 3 on crushing on my first play through. Still wasn't too hard, but the part mentioned in this video was pretty hard.

[@TheJegkkon]

2 days before 2023 and I decided to go back and rewatch one of the few series on KZbin that I looked forward to weekly. The nostalgia...still love these

[@asherriley7332]

The tutorial in Driver was one for me as well. It drove me mad.

[@ziyaadjakoet]

Driver was insane. I remember changing the game in the editor just to get rid of it, whenever I wanted to quickly start a new game...

[@nilsbossiusklintenberg3623]

I have ever only tried the tutorial in Driver. Once. Didnt make it through... Never picked it up again.

[@jackass3907]

[@thedahakha]

If people are stuck on the ratchet and clank sewer thing, just run and jump with R1 and X. It should be a breeze then

[@MsWatismyname]

In the demo too? I remember it being impossible in the the demo.

[@cephalonprometheus6186]

Regulus Black it isn't impossible, it was way harder in the original game.

[@Usy122]

It's only difficult on hard, it's a breeze on normal.

[@yourboyrussell6738]

Or just R1. You don't have to press R1 and X like in the original. Want an added challenge? Beat the sewer escape WITHOUT the heli-pack. On the hardest difficulty.

The Uncharted 3 Graveyard Sequence kept me on my PS3 for HOURS!!! At least there's someone who also feels my pain

[@Road_to_Dawn]

Same! And there was also the encounter against the big guy on the ship with the shipping containers that would slide back and forth. Strangely, I remember that part being so difficult I almost wanted to give up completely when I played it on the PS3, but I found it super easy on the PS4 remaster. I wonder if they nerfed it...

[@Road_to_Dawn]

+Proc of the Dawn *nerfed, not "needed"

[@julianmaguire2990]

Supply lines was a nightmare as well, though i guess that was technically optional. But I don't play rockstar games to not do all the side quests.

[@darth-severus]

*Laughs in jetpack*

[@Darkstar263]

In the original Ratchet & Clank on PS2, I used to have trouble with that sewer section when I was younger. I find it easy now. That water slums section in Jak 2 with the Krimzon Guards is downright sadistic. That one section puts me off replaying the game often.

[@fearedjames]

+Darkstar263 Its much easier when you realize the guards die in three shots of the machine gun, and if you have the skill to use the board. (note, you can smack right through the guards with it by spinning into them)

[@Lauren_C]

I ended up escaping on the jetboard as well, after probably ten or so deaths. The guards spawn predictably, after enough trial and error, one can discern the right pattern.

[@ninjaslash52_98]

I didn't think the Jack and Dexter was hard I shot my way through after seeing they kept respawning

[@DarkSaber22]

lmao those damn slums pissed me off...until I realized that the Needle Lazer is a 2 hit kill on the guards. I'll still screw up cause I tend not to play safe lol

[@victorpalczewski2848]

yeah I just saved the dark slam ability until it started, then I just slammed the water right away to kill the instakill robot and you could swim or hover board to the end

[@thememeyestcat7294]

Jak 2 was the first game I played.And I took like 2 years to complete it.

[@isaaccoomer1261]

Yeah its damn hard

[@bryanles]

You're not the only one. When I was a kid the one mission I died over and over again was going to Haven Forest and killing all the Combat Metalheads that have camouflage

[@oasisbeyond]

2 years lol, but yes Frustrating, I threw the disc on the wall... But, beat it lol.

[@Decepticon117]

2 years ?!??!

[@Decepticon117]

[@Crazyoldman84]

The difficulty litteraly went up

[@metalhead539]

To be honest, once you've played the game enough times the column of death, just isnt hard.

[@Ag3nt0fCha0s]

I think we had the same driving instructor. I still remember the look the examiner gave me when he told me I had passed and I asked if he had forgotten the handbrake turn.

[@kenCJclass]

That bit with them two in a “car” made me laugh for far too long lol

[@ShenasRI]

I choked on my drink when I heard Rob say, "Give me a like so I can feed my family"... that was a like well earned my friend, Well done...well done.

[@asdfasdagasdrf1931]

Final Fantasy Tactics back on the PS1 has the save-ending notoriety of Riovanes Castle. It opens up innocently enough, with a modestly difficult fight against enemies with height advantage. As is the case in all series fights in the game, it asks if you want to save after this fight, but before the next one. Woe unto they who didn't make a second save file, for it proceeds to throw the main character, Ramza, in to a 1-on-1 showdown with recurring enemy Wiegraf. He's fully kitted in higher-tier gear than you can get, boasts 2 hideously powerful moves that can be used half the map away, which can each 2-shot an unprepared player (and a third more reasonably powerful move that can be used from 1/3 the map away), and he has the stats to back it up. Players that haven't built Ramza specifically for this fight are in for a lot of frustration, especially if their only save slot is riding on getting through it. Other fights allow some amount of wiggle-room, as if any character goes down you can still raise them or finish the fight before they're gone for good. With no backup available, if Ramza goes down, Game Over. If you manage to get through that fight, breathe a sigh of relief. Two fights is all you've seen in series fights so far, time to see a cutscene, get back to the world map, go shopping, and wait why's there another save prompt? Time for fight number three! The boss gets back up, transforms, summons minions, and the rest of your party arrives just in time to get pounded into the dirt by the boss's powerful AoE summon magic backed by his minions' powerful AoE magic. After getting through with that particular bit of horror, it's time to be relieved at the sight of YET ANOTHER save prompt COME ON! The fourth (and thankfully final) fight in the series is there to remind you that the game can still be straight up unfair. Your party starts an unfortunately large distance away from the real action, and is tasked with protecting an AI controlled character. She goes down, Game Over. She is accosted by a major boss and his 2 assassin minions, each able to more-or-less one-shot the character you need to protect. Also worth pointing out, both she and these enemies tend to be faster than the units you're likely able to field, and her idea of a good time is getting within stabbing range of the incredibly dangerous enemies so she can poke them with her hilariously ineffective stick. Good luck with that, buddy. This series of fights is NOTORIOUS for ending save files.

[@00shoe18]

dude, i feel your pain. i was stuck in fhe middle of that for about a year.

[@cyndrift]

"If at first you don't succeed, turn the difficulty down!" Now my motto as well

[@deiopus2316]

I loved Jak 2 on PS2 so I got it again on the Vita and the only way I could beat that section in the Water Slums was by Hover boarding past all the K guards

[@Ninjamaster255]

O_0 you can do that it sounds almost as hard as fighting your way through was (I had to keep replaying it sometimes because I didn't have enough ammo to make it)

[@scarlet3470]

Ninjamaster255 that's the trick lol

[@storytsunami]

I was able to bully my way through the crimson guards, but only after I had Dark Jak available. Even then, I still died a good dozen or so times.

[@weeabootrash329]

Ha! Didn't know you could do that! still got through the Water Slums but it took ages! still one of my favourite childhood games. Along side the Ratchet and Clank series!

[@thefruitcakemaniac574]

i made a tactive staff from side to side so diagonal using the quick bash with the gun and use the blast gun whenever i got to close to the enemy and just kept doing that until the end. Fun thing was it became really easy.

[@charlesjenkins9823]

Rob, I have to say, I usually start most games on easy. Especially in a new system or if it's something I've not tried before. Eventually, I want the challenge. I always enjoy your videos and greatly appreciate your humor and gritty honesty of the entire team. Thank you! Keep it up, good sir!

Its fun to watch people suffer at the Rising Water, if you are one of those who survived it in the Original XD

[@jillsandwich3113]

That level in Jak 2 was... so... damn... hard! I couldn't complete it conventionally, but I did find a way to get passed it, a very long and arduous way. I started the game from the beginning, and made sure I had a full bar of dark eco, so I smash in to the water and not die.

[@Granas1988]

[@Donny2350]

I hate when games switch me to a under levelled character for a really hard part.

[@natedavies954]

I believe Ys 7 was the first game I really got caught like that. Backup characters still gain XP, not as much, but they do. It's just switching to characters you never use and control differently with different abilities that's a kick in the teeth. Or relying on a main character who is suddenly incapacitated or.. suddenly the person you have to fight. I tended to play to advance the story every other day, then spend an hour grinding one party, switching in Aerith and Yuffie (before Red took Aerith's spot), and spend another hour grinding. It was a LONG game to beat that way, but I never got caught unprepared. I guess I always imagined Cloud (or others) could get separated like the beginning of the game..

[@denisherlock3023]

[@Senjuina77]

[@AsbelLhant100]

+Senjuina Müller That was difficult for me at first, but became much less difficult when I remembered that I had Limits and Drive Forms to use

[@Senjuina77]

+AsbelLhant100 Funny, using the Drive Forms usually killed me much faster - especially since Anti-Form would appear instead almost every time.

[@AsbelLhant100]

+Senjuina Müller Well I'd always use Valor Form against Demyx and never went into Anti-Form in that fight

[@Phell-]

+mikael leheckenbooger i used cheats for Vice City but during that mission, there are no cheats that help you. it's pretty much based entirely on skill.

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

That train mission was easy, can be done in 1-3 tries, but the hard part of the damn game was the Zero RC missions. The large planes in the older GTA games were damn near impossible to fly smoothly, but the little RC ones were ten times worse. If there were no fuel meter, it would be doable, but the combination of ridiculous controls and having to fly a perfect route to win was just another level of fuckery.

[@AnesidoraAston]

If you replace the bonfire system with a menu based save system, the game would lose all dufficulty, so not really a difficulty spike.

[@polteran]

LOL Your videos are getting better and better! Awesome!

[@DariaHoelzel]

My biggest problem in FF7 was the fight against Hojo because I was extremely underleveled (I hated grinding in FF7), but I made it! I was so relieved afterwards. I'm still wondering how I got that far considering I barely leveled up my characters and almost never used summons or protectiond like Protes and such. xD

Lol right? But what he means is it never goes from one level to an extreme in quick succession without build up. It's generally challenging from start to finish in Dark Souls.

as a person going through Jak 2 completely for the first time (since I rage quit when I was younger) I can completely confirm that those two parts still made me get stuck for at least a half hour each(the tank for an hour)

[@Bigdaddymittens]

Ornstein, and Smough, in Dark Souls. My god..

[@MultiMadnessman]

+Hayden Onion Super Londor Bros!

[@giovannimalave9963]

I'd say pikachu and snorlax were a difficulty spike in dark souls

[@skcopian]

exp obesity lol. Rob is just the best.

[@johnpettersen9492]

NEVER PLAYED DRIVER BESIDE THE FREE ROAM BECAUSE THAT!

[@PamIsley314]

Just drive

[@MikeAkerman]

Each week, when Rob says "Hello", I smile and cheerfully say "Hello, Rob" and settle back in my chair, happy.

[@Elemental-Phoenix]

Dark Souls doesn't have a difficulty spike? *stares at the Tomb of the Giants*

[@KronosX3T]

+Elemental_Phoenix having just done a quick google search, I can now say I understood that reference.

[@Rubenkn]

+Elemental_Phoenix or at Sen's Fortress..

[@nicholasparent753]

Roxas fight at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 FM

[@Zeromega159]

uh... for the ratchet and clank sewer section, just long jump while ignoring the enemies and you'll be fine

[@dagoth-ursbeekeeper9119]

That's how I did it in 2002!

[@jessedupere429]

+Zeromega159 I don't even remember that part being hard at all and I don't play games on easy lol

[@zachstarke852]

I loved the water run because of the amount of time it took me in the original and brought back memories. Not too mention ratchet and clank is 1 of the 3 platinums I have :)

[@earthy8886]

Can I flex that I have platinumed ratchet and clank on expert mode? Yeeeeee

[@Krymsx]

Can I flex that I have all platinum relics in Crash 1

[@PonmonofNuggetor]

Not really a flex, Ratchet and Clank 2016 is pretty easy

[@morganhe-man3543]

I would have done that but I accidentally deleted my save file

[@Woodencoins]

Was that actually Brian Cox?....

[@simonzone3]

+Woodencoins i guess we are the only two who seen that

[@coalhalo]

He's on every few weeks. Surprised you haven't seen him on here before

[@zachdavis7002]

+coalhalo who the frick is Brian cox?

[@lukeweeks3470]

He's an English physicist, and Advanced Fellow of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester.

[@lukeweeks3470]

+Jdurr94: The Gamer That's OK, you're welcome. I like his "The Wonders Of The Universe", where he uses rocks and other items to represent planets and/or stars. Sadly, I don't watch TV anymore :(

[@ItsUncleQrow]

The water escape was easy

[@andischwarzkopf2297]

yep

[@tomimikkola]

It was even harder in the original

[@whenywawa9804]

I did it first try

[@patsaun2388]

+Tomi Mikkola i agree it was harder in the origional

[@Enigma1717]

Shipyard was easy on easy. Play it on crushin and see how easy it is.

[@TheGreyParse]

The look on Drake's face at 4:13 is a pretty accurate depection of the topic here. The grenade can be substituted for a controller for additional effect.

[@Herbsttypen]

Jak 3 where you had to drive behind 8 dune buggys and destroy them before one of them enters their base. It was freaking awefull. I literally punched a hole in my wall. This was very difficult to explain to my parents

[@Herbsttypen]

Driver xD oh the memories. I thought this garage level was the whole game, because I havent seen the outside of it ever xD

[@cimilienp]

Just finished that after breaking my pack of pencils

[@Retrophoenix-]

How about the Daxter Pacman game that was absolutely terrible the sounds are still in my head to this day

[@atomosvrial1708]

so why didn't kratos just climb up the rock instead of the deadly twisting pillar of blades?

[@douglasmonroe7417]

Because it makes too much sense to have Kratos not to suffer through the tedious climb. I already thought the entirety of Hades was Hard as a whole. The pillar climb just didn't help.

[@theomnigamer9177]

Where was Shin Megami Tensei in this list?

[@towersofmidnight]

These guys put out quality content, truly funny

[@koenwillems]

you're getting balder every day

[@PlayStationAccess]

+Koen Willems Simply can't argue with that -Rob

[@trustypatches669]

What's bad about it? He looks better bald!

[@koenwillems]

Can't say i've ever seen him with hair, but yes indeed, it looks good

[@seandennis8911]

+Alireza M that's a matter of opinion, I disagree, and I don't know Rob's opinion

[@koenwillems]

at the end of the day, the only things that really matters are his skills in ps4 and making vids about it ;)

[@JoeFlacko]

The Toad Prince from Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone

[@julianwebb919]

Oh my god that pissed me off so much I quit the game for like a month, killed me maybe 6 times. Then I started playing again, prepared a lot more, beat him on my first try coming back. It was glorious

[@Rubenkn]

+Julian Webb "killed me maybe 6 times?" what a filthy casual you are

[@JoeFlacko]

Julian Webb Same here, I tried around a dozen times then I gave up. I came back to it after I beat Dark Souls 3 and beat him after my second attempt. It was actually far more difficult than the final boss of the main story and I think that caught a lot of us off guard. Even the time I actually beat him it took me a good 20+ minutes

[@ThePhreakass]

I don't remember uncharted 3 having a difficult spike.

[@josephsua7246]

ThePhreakass Ship Graveyard was a pain, but yeah wasn't really a difficult spike.

[@CyborgHyperdrive]

Yeah bro, the driver test at the start got me as well. Great video mate 👍🏻

[@kittylord5000]

Blight town... BLIGHT TOWN... BLIGHT... TOWN BLLIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHTTTTT TOOOOOOOOWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chickenbirdie1]

Blight Town boss was really easy though.

[@kittylord5000]

+Jack S. Two words toxic darters

[@IndianaJones84476352]

Any Monster Hunter game that has G-rank

[@Jamster_070]

Indiana Jones true

[@2002alexandros]

I ❤️ PlayStation Access

[@aimanghazi7043]

+Everything Gaming Me too, especially their friday features

[@timmy0046]

Great video, you were absolutely spot on with God of War and Uncharted 3. Especially Uncharted 3 because the only way I was able to beat that level was, well, after like 10 attempts it glitched and all the enemies froze and stood in one spot and then I just threw a grenade and cleared most them out.

[@moodyblues179]

Flight School from GTA San Andreas -.-

[@0121zero]

The Zero missions with the remote controlled planes.. Never got anywhere near doing those

[@sdg2957]

True

[@TheFlamingPiano]

+Moody Blues Basically any GTA mission that involves flying. Those were all too frustrating

[@toadlord8594]

What about Dragon age Origins? Love the game but good God in my experience things were close to impossible at times.

[@ToastAndJellyfish]

...like what?

[@toadlord8594]

ToastAndJellyfish Well I suppose that it's always impossible for me to get the best stuff in the game since it cost al least over 70 gold or sovereigns no matter how many side quests I played out it doesn't make me enough to get over 100 gold or even 60 gold. I have Origins on PS3 so I'm not as lucky as pc race.

[@fairycancel7176]

Use the exploit if you want money so much, infinite money at start :V lol

[@toadlord8594]

Fairycancel OK I'll Google it.

[@toadlord8594]

Fairycancel Alright fine I guess Dragon age origins isn't that hard I've just always had trouble making large amount of money in the damn game. So thanks for the tip.

[@m1k3y41]

dude come on Ratchet and Clank was easy on NORMAL!!!

[@dragonfly2477]

for me it seemed the sewer got harder I noticed it on my 3rd play through

[@blindfoldedninja2044]

Sh4D0w G4miNg trust me that fame was the easiest plantinum and paet of the game i played

[@ZZZZ-de6pn]

No one said it was hard.....

[@dionglover7431]

ratchet and clank was easy on hard on challenge mode XD

[@personalspace6270]

anace low come on that is Farcry thats a free platinum. 😁

[@masonomasono]

The impersonation of that super deep scientist guy was spot on! Made me lol so hard.
