This comment section is crazy, we have people arguing about games, or people complimenting the video lol. This is the most divided comment section I have ever seen lmao.

[@RispGD]

I feel like geometry dash is definitely one of the hardest mobile games on the appstore, but in terms of pc gaming its hard to know considering there are tons of games out there with good players (especially esport pros lol)

[@anom6520]

shooters and rpg are still easier

[@user-ym3cw3dx6k]

I think I agree with Pineneedles. One but if not the hardest games on Earth, though any game accessing a ability to add frame perfects through level creators. Though still, all games with level creators aren't big enough or can be compared enough to a level like Tidal Wave. The hardest level in Mario Maker has 400+ victors. (According to Google I'm not fact checking that) Though Tidal Wave only has 3. Geometry Dash offers infinite mechanics (basically) though Mario Maker has a finite amount, meaning Geometry Dash can always go bigger and better. If you look at games that use mechanics of Frame Perfect, usually, Geometry Dash is the one using constantly. Fun Fact: Geometry Dash is 90% what comes up if you actually search up Frame Perfect. Now let's look at PC games People usually state that there are far harder rage games like "I Wanna Be The Guy" but let's be honest. There's no way that game in general is harder than Tidal Wave. Esport games have about hundreds of professional players already playing them like it's casual. Even if there isn't hundreds, then the game can only be pulled to such a extent. And most other "Creating" games don't even offer frame perfects, like Roblox. How the hell you making Roblox Frame Perfects in a obby? (excluding if you actually hardcode one into the game) Just make sure to remind yourself, a game that's beaten needs to be something that's humanly possible Not RNG one in a gazillion, not using a crappy game engines to make frame perfects every second. To be honest, it's hard to know. Communities of all like to push any limit they're given. Like how Minecraft players are freaking insane when it comes to hardcore or getting super dumb and rare death messages It's number one, but also not? GD has no limits, making any and every concept of every game can be incorporated. Typing this feels like it goes downhill, not making sense and making sense.

[@Keeganator42]

Well it varies from game to game. Having expertise in GD will get you almost nowhere in a game like Terraria. But I mean if you hack verify you could upload a level with every click being a frame perfect, so it’s debatable.

[@Igeoisme]

Then you haven’t hear about pointercrate. The frame perfect levels can only be put on the demon list if they are VERIFIED. Terraria is nowhere close to the difficulty of geometry dash, we even have platformer now.

[@eddywolton6397]

I think its one of the hardest games in existence, since it comes down to literally how many frame perfect clicks you can do in a row then nothing can technically be harder and would just tie at the number 1 spot

[@PineneedlesGD]

And the fact that people make levels that last like 15 decillion years. And I'm not even exaggerating

[@Xenontious]

Well GD is limited by the number of inputs you can do as its only click and release (excluding platformer) Every physically possible gd lvl is TAS/Macro possible even though recording a macro of lvls that are octillion years long with billions of cps sounds impossible you could theoretically beat it with a macro or TAS. Heres an example of TAS/Macro impossible game: Step 1: Imagine a roblox game(doesnt have to be roblox could be any game engine) in which its like osu except with the buttons appearing on your screen being a pixel wide and appear 5k times per second(saying 5k times bc im not sure if roblox handled fps above 10k) and you have to click them in order. Ok cool but we can make it exponentially harder. Step 2: Ok so you can make keybinds AND KEYBIND COMBINATIONS which exponentially increases the difficulty so lets imagine a white screen flashes every x amount of times per second and for every flash u have to press and release a random key combination at the exact frame which literally makes it TAS/Macro impossible but theoretically it is physically possible. Well isnt this just luck based? Yes but i never specified it has to be skill based it has to be hard which can include both rng and skill. You can literally abuse rng to make it so you have a 1/(*insert the biggest number ever known*) chance of completing it after all of what u did and u can make it so u have to repeat all of this for like an insanely long amount of time Step 3: You can still add gameplay in the background as all of this takes place on the screen. U can add pixel perfect parkour jumps as well as rng fling and glitches (roblox physics engine is really crappy) and also make it so you had to speedrun it with every input being frame perfect AND YOU CAN COMPLETELY GET MESSED UP BY THE INPUTS I MENTION IN STEP 2 Whatever i said sounds pretty absurd because i took the edge of possibility to a theoretical scale. Also if you mean GD is the hardest game in terms of achievements done by community you may be right but in literally every community theres dedicated players spending months to push the edge of possibility.

[@user-ym3cw3dx6k]

@@Xenontious GD is the only game that allows players to push edge with difficulty. Mario Maker doesn't allow 3D Engines or a ton of frame perfects in a row. Also by the way, what's considered here in the video and everyone else is not really theoretical scale. More of what's beaten by players. "beaten". All 3 of those examples are not beaten. And for and maybe even forever, won't. Ok I know you were going for impossible stuff and not even possible stuff but just saying, not really what were trying to take into account. Not really up there but kinda

[@Xenontious]

@@user-ym3cw3dx6k Yes its true that the achievements done in GD are insane but almost in every community theres a dedicated playerbase pushing the limit of possibility. It’s difficult to compare if the hardest thing done in GD is harder than whats done in another community like mario maker or other games like speedrunning communities or just 2d and 3d platformers. Sure gd has frame perfect inputs but someother games have more inputs than clicking and therefore for possibility the multiple inputs needed to be pressed might require a larger time frame than being frame perfect. Also games with multiple inputs combined camera control along are not degree/pixel perfect (if thats a term) but rather more lenient (Such as in parkour in games like Minecraft and Roblox). But in games like Osu mania! It is mostly based on mouse control so the mouse control is more strict than previously mentioned. Secondly if a player is both a top player in both communities you still cant be able to compare it as difficulty is subjective to the players experience and learning process In summary it’s difficult to compare different games hardest achievements with each other. Yes Gd players have done one of the hardest achievements in gaming history BUT not the hardest as we cannot compare it to other achievements done by players of other games

@@mauroperez9529 if your gonna be talking abt impossible stuff then gd comes nowheres close.

This is completely random making it impossible. We can also just make this for an unfathomably amount of time like till it hits an integer limit or something that wont let it run for infinite years.

@@Xenontious well but this game doesn’t exists, and because geometry dash is literally an edit i doubt some games will reach the difficulty of geometry dash, surely no devs will make something like that, so only games that have an edit like geometry dash can make levels like that from the community, it’s not that easy to find a game where you need to click 900B times in a second

[@JustBreadGD]

Like you said, any game that allows you to make user created levels. Woth that said, there are probably accomplishments in other games harder than tidal wave (for example trials of death in mario maker). Thankfully, i dont think we've hit the skill ceiling in gd, and harder levels will still be beaten

[@PineneedlesGD]

I personally think there will be a period when very little will change, and then when more advanced technology comes out, then we will see a big inflow of new hardests.

[@JustBreadGD]

@@PineneedlesGD are they really new hardest then, or does new technology just bring them down to the same difficulty?

[@TripodV3VO]

trials of death vs tidal wave is debatable, which sounds stupid but it’s not entirely out of the question

[@JustBreadGD]

@TripodV3VO of course, there is no objective way to compare them, but I believe trials of death is likely harder because it took 7 years to be beaten by one of mario makers best players. Things like silent clubstep took a similar amount of time, but no single player was actively playing the level from when it was first released.

[@TripodV3VO]

@@JustBreadGD Despite this way it’s still hard to compare, but there’s no point in debating it. i should mention however that the Silent Clubstep that is verified is not the **true** Silent Clubstep, as the level was nerfed to be more possible. This means that Silent Clubstep has been unbeaten for nearly 10 years and ongoing.
