Hardest things to do in videogames

You can add Complete Halo 4 on LASO difficulty to that list, did one mission in coop last night and took us 2 1/2 hours.

I'm talking a coordinated effort by all players to take down a Knight and 2 players to take down a watcher. Nasty stuff.

So what do you think are some of the harder things to do that you have done?

I think the mile high club challenge in COD4 is also a honorable mention

I dunno. It's probably something I've done in wow. I've raided at a pretty high level since it came out.

There is a fine line between hard and tedious. Sitting back and sniping your way through a shooter on high difficulty is tedious. Ninja Gaiden is hard. Many of us older gamers found difficulty from poorly designed games. Unresponsive controllers etc...

i would agree with you most of the time on shooters but there are exceptions, like for the Mile High Club achievement in COD 4 you had like 1minute and 10 seconds to beat the level on veteran, which is basically running speed through the level and is probably the hardest thing I've had to do in a FPS till now.

Halo 4 on LASO means "Legendary All Skulls On!" The skulls if you don't know are mods you can turn on to make the game harder, including thunderstorm which doubled to enemies health, famine which gives you less ammo and Iron which makes you restart the entire level if you die(no checkpoints) by themselves the skulls aren't bad, but all of them on and especially Iron is freaking insane, seriously don't know if I want to even try another level like that again. Much less try and beat the whole game doing it.

Ive got to go with leading a top tier raid in Vanilla & BC WoW. The organization and planning that went into 40 man raiding along with the situational awareness to manage the group during an encounter was by far the hardest thing Ive ever done in a game.

Unlike most games that you can practice until you succeed, WoW raid leading was very unforgiving. You might get between 5 and 10 shots at getting your poo together before you were demoted and likely couldn't get a second chance with the same group. Very sink or swim.

Yeah if people feel like things are headed in the wrong direction they will bail out. It's tough to command respect for a prolonged period of time without slipping due to your own life.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
