Some of you people really dissapoint me. The greatest issue this gen is that games got a HELL LOT EASIER !

 It's the idiotic misconception japanese developers have that we in the west don't want any short of challenge in our games.

You say that Star Ocean 4, an rpg, required a healer. Seriously, it was too tough because an rpg required a healer ?!

And folklore was a fantastic game which however was ridiculously easy.

There are probably more than just one. However, the only game I remember right now is Resident Evil: Code Veronica X. I even started it twice. The first time I didn't manage to defeat the Tyrant you encounter in the plane, in my second run I got stuck with Chris because I ran out of amunition and health items.

Final Fantasy 13! the game is just to hard and to long!

Battletoads NES

Cathrine, dem babel stages =/

not recently....after playing sc2 everything else seems ez

I started ME2 on Insanity recently, I was doing fine until the first real boss, the first Collectors meeting, I'm at the final stage and I just can't do it. My team are idiots and die so run out of medical kits and there are just too many enemies. I'll give it another go sometimes.

This.

...and Ice Climber :P Not many other games though. If a game is very hard that just makes me more willing to complete it.

Digimon World on the PS1

All my Digimon did was taking a poo and dying.Never understood the game.

Hmm, on the Nes games were really difficult. But some of them had no real ending an you couldn't actually "beat" them.

I remember when I could finally beat Ghosts'n'Goblins only to see a short screen that I have to play through it again and this time getting a secret weapon...

Hmm, on the PS3 I have gotten the Platinum Trophies of almost every game I have bought so far. Singstar was too hard for me, but my Wife got me the hardest trophies. White Knight Chronicles 2... I had to give up, but this was partly due to my unwillingness to onlinegaming and the immense time necessary in obtaining the Platinum trophy. I was unwilling to wait for a proper Party and most quests are not beatable solo... so I gave up.

Front Mission Evolved... I got every Trophy that was possible offline, but once again I had to give up online. Almost nobody was playing and as a starter I had no chance to beat the high level players.

I have some games left that I will probably not be able to get the Platinum Trophy... Star Ocean 4 (maybe because of the immense time necessary), Cross Edge, El Shaddei and Catherine. But all in all, I am able to beat most games I am really interested in.

But I must admit that I didn't buy some games like Gran Turismo or Ninja Gaiden BECAUSE they are really difficult. On the other hand, I was able to beat Demon's Soul without much difficulty (I was a mage, though).

I do not think that a high difficulty level is a good thing. I enjoy playing together with my wife and she gets angry easily. Games should be fun, accessible and entertaining, especially after 40 hours of work. People should be able to finish their games and see the ending sequence, even if they are not enormously skilled. Nobody would go into the cinema if the movies would end in the middle.
