Sometimes a game won’t satisfy you as it may be too easy, or not hard enough. This thread is dedicated to taking difficulty to bat**** bonkers territory. Noww then I believe I shall get the ball rolling:

Final Fantasy 1, All Black Mages party: The Black Mage is the weakest character in the game, they have pathetic attack power, the defensive equivelent of a caterpillar, and limited in terms of weapons. Sure they are good with the great spells, but that’s it, they’ll drop like flies the rest of the time.

X-Com Terror from the Deep, only use basic weapons: TFTD is hard, really hard, so lets make it harder, by not upgrading to actually usefull weapons. The weapons you start with mostly suck when fighting the alien menance, taking multiple hits to kill them, while they can kill you in one shot with their weapons. So to make this game near impossible, only use your ****ty basic weapons and useless armor. Have fun with the colonies!

beat the game using only a team of 6 magikarps

once u hit high levels, ur flail and tackle attacks should be able to hit for large enough amounts

(pokémon)

get your starter, buy the magikarp (red/blue/yellow?/FR/LG)

catch 5 (6 if u don’t buy one) then release your starter and anything else you have.

———————————-

you can try w/o items if you want, but that just means a lot of grinding

IWBTG. The one game that doesn’t need any restrictions or modifications to be “OH GOD WHY AM I DOING THIS” hard.

Oh god, the flashbacks… Log in to see images!

Also, for further “fun” in that game, there’s “night missions only” and “no MC” restrictions.

Edit: Damn it, why won’t the quote tags work?

Metal gear solid 4’s Big Boss Emblem.

It’s p much the highest rank you could ever get in MGS4. You can’t get a single alert, 0 enemies killed, 0 rations used, 0 deaths on the highest difficulty (3 shots and Snake is dead), and under 5 hours total game time. And if you’ve played MGS, you know it’s one hell of a long game.

It is possible to win Deus Ex without using any items. No weapons, nothing.

Good god how?!

You don’t need to kill anyone except for some key figures, so just run through and focus on the objectives. Remember the killphrase for Anna. A full no-item video compilation can be found here.

I only ever cared about the endgame collections and stuff. That’s what I would waste my life on. In competitive games (ie pokemon) I would try to build ideal teams for competition that didn’t use illegal or too-strong chars (such as mew, mewtwo, the other illegal supers)
