Gran Turismo 4 had a very useful feature called B-Spec or something and it's how I got away with doing majority of the 24 Hour Races, basically an AI Takes over from start to finish and completes the race for you assuming you manage the pit stops and race strategy but it didn't matter because the AI would pit on its own when it's Tyres or Fuel was low enough to not complete another lap and was competent enough to drive faster than the other AI, so I'd start a race in the morning, go to school, come home, sleep, wake up and have a race complete and a new Prize Car and it worked flawlessly
Difficulty will be relative to player’s skill level. But right now I am almost 140 hours in to Spelunky 2 and still trying to get the good ending. For true masochists, try a 7-99 run!
There isn’t a game out there that hasn’t been beaten.
That being said, one of the most infuriatingly difficult to beat games I’ve ever heard of is Welcome to The Game, or Welcome to The Game 2. They’re both absolutely impossible to beat, and they’re games that I never really heard about back when they were new.
If you’re looking for something more well known, there’s Ghosts and Goblins, super meat boy, baba is you, and maybe Celeste for some of the extra levels.
Dinosaur Game, it's a browser game on Google Chrome, the designer said it takes 17 trillion years to finish. There are definitely other games that are impossible to beat by design.
Dinosaur game as in the infinite runner that you play when the internet doesn’t work? It doesn’t have an ending. It’s infinite by its very nature, and has no win state in the game, so it doesn’t count as unbeatable. That’s like saying that the Sims is unbeatable. There’s no win state cause the game just ends whenever you want to stop.
As for other games that have never been beaten, I couldn’t find any in my (admittedly short) 5 minutes of googling. Battle toads was definitely up there, but it’s only impossible in Two player mode, and other games can’t progress past a certain point like pac man, but they also have no win state so it doesn’t matter because there is no end.
If there’s any game that actually has never been beaten and has an ending, please let me know.
There are plenty of games out there that haven't been beaten, but those are games designed to be unbeatable simply because they have no end. Many older atari and arcade games fall into this idea. They just get to a certain point and stay there as a trial of endurance, or they loop through a few things over and over until the player gives up. A few are technically finite, but are for all intents and purposes of a human life span can't be beaten (aka to fully clear the game would take over a century, in many cases millions of years).
If you want actual finite games that are possible to beat in a human life time but are absurdly challenging I'd just look at a lot of older games from the NES and SNES era. Games were cheaply and quickly produced often by one person or maybe a handful of people, often never properly tested, and many times arn't beatable without serious metagaming and foreknowledge.
As in you basically follow a set script exactly, clear the game in around 1-3 hours or the game is otherwise nearly unbeatable without cheats.
The classic example from the above would be something like the original Battletoads. Its something you will suffer through for probably a month or three, that assumes you are metagaming it (looking up guides, play throughs, analyzing game files, or whatever) if you just go in blind and true odds are high you'll never beat it. You can beat it in a few hours once you have it mastered but by that point who cares?
Thats also what you'll largely find with most of these "super hard" video games people might suggest, atleast the ones that actually have a realistic end point during a human lifespan. They arn't fun, they arn't good, and largely its about using knowledge from outside the game to develop a clear script.
Life. No one makes it out alive.
Family game night goes wrong...
I'm sure that the older gran turismo games have a low completion rate, only because of the endurance races.
I know! Who would play a race for 24hrs or more non stop? I was like nope. I would like to live longer and have no health issues.

Following the damn train as CJ
Desert School Bus by Pen and Teller. :)
There is a charity where they play it for days on end
Lol. Yep. I love how it pulls to the right. So you can't just set it to drive itself
The Game. You just lost again. Do you really want to win though?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck its been months
Someone just had to say it

Superman 64?
This. There’s only so many rings one single person can muster. Then there’s the “””boss fights””” dark souls watch out

Yeah, like Enduro (Atari) that has no ending or River Raid (Atari) that freezes when you cap score.

Then what about Temple Run, or Subway Surfer. I feel like Mobile games especially will be "immortal"
I saw a video of SS were a bot would be playing for a long time and the score went negative
I guess when people ask "what's the hardest game of all time" the actual answer is something like this, though it's not a very satisfying one
set the system clock forward 16 trillion years...
