About Me
I'm a gamer and a tech geek. Big surprise here right? My first console was the SNES and I've been a hardcore gamer since then. Currently, I play my PC and my 360 all the time. I am usually lurking here on Destructoid at any given hour, and you can find me on Ventrilo for a good portion of the day. My gamercard is right below this so feel free to add me as a friend on Xbox Live. I'm always up for playing online with other Dtoiders. Peace.

A Summer of Punishment: Introduction
EternalDarkWing | 6:27 PM on 06.30.2009 27 comments




Hello there Destructoid. It's certainly been a while since I was seen here fairly often. I've never really blogged here regularly, nor have I ever thought up a good original feature to do. However, garison replied to my tweet about how I was going to try and complete most of my games on their harder or hardest difficulties this summer, and suggested that I write a blog about it. So, I thought, why not make it a weekly feature and update everybody on my progress?

Starting tomorrow, I will start my two month endeavor to finish the games shown below on their hard difficulties. I have picked games that are likely to be very challenging. Some of these games, though, I haven't even played yet. I'm interested to see how difficult it will be starting a game off I have yet to play on it's hard difficulty. I can only really remember doing this once to see how challenging it was, and that was with Call of Duty 4. I played through the entire game for the first time on Veteran difficulty and I wanted to shoot myself. I probably won't be able to get through all of these games though, since some of them require a significant amount of playtime, but I'll try my best.







Like I said before, I'll be starting tomorrow. Since I'm kicking it off on a Wednesday, I'll try to post a new blog with updates every Wednesday from now until the end of August. I'll try and make it interesting by keeping track of some statistics such as playtime and number of deaths. I might even record a couple of short gameplay videos with my crappy digital camera. Let me know what you guys think of this in the comments.

@CWAL37 Well, I haven't unlocked the hardest difficulties in some of these games, so I'm going to go with the hardest ones that are available to me, which might just be plain old "Hard".

Bioshock is still a cake walk on hard, do it with Vitachambers turned off. Also, good luck on God Hand, that game kicks my ass even on normal.

@GRAFKHUN That's what I intend on doing. I'm playing it through for the "Brass Balls" achievement.

I think Mass Effect will take you awhile. Not to mention MGS4.

My hat's off to you for this one. It took me many years to work up the guts to play any game on anything besides easy. Now I'm a steady "normal" to "medium" kinda gal.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your updates as I'm curious how long it'll be before you crack.

Wow, good luck! Some of these games shouldn't be tooo hard but half of them look like they will :D

Whatever you do, don't play a shitty game on hard! I did that with Secret Service and the game is so horrible that it's near impossible to finish.

Oh, I missed Mega Man 9. That's a HARD list. Especially with Mega Man 9 on HARD? UGH!

Devil May Cry 1, 3, 4 and then moving onto God Hand?

Dude. It's NOT worth it.

My first play through on COD2 and COD: WAW were both Veteran. CoD4 I did on Vet second time around. I'm also currently going through DMC 4 on hard but haven't picked it up for a while. Good luck to you on this endeavor, I will be tracking your progress accordingly. haha

@Tino I'm not doing them all in order, hah. That would be murder. I'm going to jump around, maybe take breaks with some games if I get stuck. Right now I'm playing through Dead Space again.
