  1. Hardest difficulty…
    Naked guy weilding a castus pointing down at you in Dark Souls….
    No amount of alcohol will help with that PTSD. (Screams internally)

  2. Akumu difficulty on The Evil Within probably qualifies, since it's a one-hit-and-you're-dead scenario. It's provably doable, but it's a bit like running yourself over with your own car – technically an impressive feat, but you've got to wonder why you went to all that effort just to make yourself miserable.

  3. I used to play F-Zero GX Master class in practice mode non stop! You'll start to memorized each track and know the best time to boost. Eventfully the impossible become a really fun challenge!

  4. Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius. Deceptively hard turn-based strategy game. The highest difficulty is known as Space Whale, and they directly warn you in the descriptions "we don't even know if it's POSSIBLE to beat the game on this setting."

  5. X-Com's true difficulty is the hit percentage.

    Also, if we're talking literally impossible, shout out to the Penn and Teller game where impossible mode kills you in the opening cutscene cos it's, you know, impossible.

  6. Took me 30+ hours to beat DMC5 + DLC on Devil Hunter to DMD. Added another 5 hour or so hours tryna beat Vergil and Dante with no damage on the difficulties. 10/10 would do it again for DMC 6

  7. Once again, I’m waiting for Halo 2 LASO. Every list about hardest modes in games always forgets about this. Please WhatCulture, this difficulty is literally impossible without breaking barriers and manipulating saves

  8. The only game I've beaten on it's hardest difficulty was Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and that game in itself is a nightmare from it's clunky mechanics to being squashed by the helicopter at the end. It took me about 3 months to beat 🥲

  9. I feel like the one life difficulty mode for Ori and the Blind forest was designed to be impossible. there are few games that have caused me to rage quit like spending 3 hours getting to a point and dying like a chump losing all game progress.

  10. 8. That's why I'm glad I rather just stick with Normal Mode.

    7. OH MY FUCKING GOD! NOT THIS FUCKING GAME AGAIN! THIS EMO REBOOT WAS ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE WORST THINGS THAT CAPCOM HAVE DONE DURING THE FUCKING DARK AGE OF 2011-2018! FORGET THAT STUPID REBOOT AND PLAY DMC5 INSTEAD! JUST DON'T PLAY THE HARDER DIFFICULTIES AND YOU'LL BE FINE!

    6. I'm glad that I never want to play any Ninja Gaiden games. Because it's just too infamously difficult for casual players can handle as most of them being infamously unfair. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, ACT 6 OF NINJA GAIDEN NES 1! THE FACT THAT YOU'RE FORCED TO GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE STAGE ALL OVER AGAIN EVERYTIME YOU LOSE TO THE FINAL BOSSES IS FUCKING HORSESHIT! WHY HAS ATROCIOUS GAMEPLAY WIKI MIRAHEZE HAS YET TO MAKE AN ARTICLE ABOUT THAT FUCKING DISASTER OF THAT GODDAMN LEVEL! (Sigh) This is why Cyber Shadow surpass the Ninja Gaiden series as a true spiritual successor. That indie game created by Yacht Club Games & Mechanical Head Studios do the challenge much more fair while still being challenging at a same time thus the starting point for those who want to play a ninja game. NOW CAN WE HAVE A "NEW GAME PLUS" SIMILAR TO THE ONES IN SHOVEL KNIGHT, YACHT CLUB GAMES & MECHANICAL HEAD STUDIOS!?

  11. I got biomutant preordered so I’m syked for that!! Did anyone else listen to the new jcole album and hear the line shouting out hideo kojima?? I think it’s like the 4th song in his new album. Idk I just thought it was pretty cool

  12. Isn't that what makes the challenge? I mean, what's the point of avoiding hard difficulties or challenges if that person is not going to try to put an effort in it? The devil May cry games are a pain in the ass but they're all so fun.

  13. As for the DMC pic…DMD is difficult yeah but not to bad….Heavan or hell is super easy in all of them just shoot everything till you hit it once. Hell or Hell is actually insanely hard

  14. My take: Legend of Zelda hard mode is not hard AT ALL since the game behavior is the exact same, it only tolerates less errors, if you know what you are doing it is the exact same experience as playing on Normal again. One that happened recently for me is that I am replaying Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and it does the exact same, just change damage calculations on Hard and nothing else. I knew previously what worked in the game and only died once for a stupid distraction.
    The only mode that is truly difficult in Zelda games is the Master Quest in Ocarina of Time specifically. There are not only enemies that deal more damage, but the entire layout of the game is changed so you have to fight against your muscle memory. Games dont have to receive such a heavy redesign to be truly difficult, but at least changing the behavior of the enemies a little bit can make the game truly difficult instead of just making the fragile main character fight a lot of bullet sponges.

    Sonic and All Star Racing Transformed is hard but not on S races. What it does is diminishes the time the AI reacts when receiving items, if you dont enter in contact with them too much it is not that hard… BUT the Superstar Showdown on S have a lot of difficult missions and the Time Trials are relentless.

  15. I love all you what culture peeps. However your recent ad practices strike me as annoying af (because the video doesn't start til Josh stops talking about biomutant) and also because your whole portfolio of content changes due to your current sponsor for the month. Please let's get back to the amazing content we know and love guys. We all need money but you can't worship your sponsors at the sacrifice of your content. Cool good talk guys

  16. Did Jules ever play a Devil May Cry game? Heaven and Hell is the easiest mode in the game. You just walk in and shoot everything. Even Hell and Hell isn't that hard as by the time you get to it should have mastered the game.
