10 Hardest Video Game Challenges (That Aren't Worth The Effort)

3. Complete All The Hard "Get-Theres" - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

Last year's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 remasters helped restore the beloved franchise's good name, though also reminded everyone just how intensely frustrating hoovering up the various collectibles can be.

And nothing in the remaster is more maddening than the Hard "Get-Theres," the 19 soul-destroyingly difficult combos which require players to string together jumps, grinds, manuals, and so on to traverse lengthy sections of a level.

Even a single Hard Get-There can require hours and hours of a player's time, and so, nailing all 19 is basically a massive time sink.

As compulsively playable as Tony Hawk's 1 + 2 is, this challenge is a real test of how much free time you're willing to surrender to repetition, especially as all you'll get out of it is a damn trophy ("Got There").

Unless you're adamant about getting 100% completion, do yourself a favour and don't even bother.
