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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
