The hardest game I ever beat was Jak II, though I've played the game enough at this point that I could perhaps complete it in a single day of hardcore gaming. I expected it to take me four at most when I first rented it. (Blockbuster, yes.) I ended up returning it when I'd completed only the first Act or so. It was a grind, but now that grind is married to my nervous system, inextricably.
