I would love to see him try to get anything in Dark Souls.
Doom 2 worked because brad got kinda good at playing doom. I can't see him getting good at playing dark souls. Way to slow and methodical. He would give up before the second bell or even the first one...
Also it has been demontrated time and time again: the GB crew can't play, talk and think at the same time. If you're not thinking in dark souls, you're fucking dead.
My idea is to have Brad play a campaign on Expert with Realism in Left 4 Dead 2. What is your suggestion for a new breaking brad game?
The achievement I'm talking about is The Real Deal. It requires you to beat a campaign on expert with realism on.
Hate to break it to you but that achievement was goddamned impossible (we tried), that is right up until the point when the 'Gib Fest' mutation was introduced. If you turn that on, you can get through a complete chapter, start to finish, on your own, on expert, without using a health pack, in under 30 mins.
A couple of people have said Dead Space 2 on Hardcore and I have to agree. I've wanted to see that ever since Brad brought up the idea back when the game first came out.
Both Geometry Wars and The Mile High Club are both perfect Breaking Brad challenges because they're small and focused and you have to play them over and over again and basically memorize everything that's happening until you go insane. Those challenges are much better than just "play through Dark Souls" which isn't really in the spirit of the feature.
The best example I can think of is the the Better Than Developers achievement from the first Trine. It is exactly that same kind of challenge as the Mile High Club, though perhaps just slightly easier. Still maddening, though, and I think it would make for a very entertaining video.
EDIT: Here's a good video showing how you get it. You basically have to memorize that path exactly and then execute it perfectly (which gets really tricky at the end, with the folding platforms), otherwise you get eaten by the rising lava. Once you've done that, then all you have to do is kill an army of skeletons and do some tricky jumping to get to the top, all without dying with any character.

I agree, you want some new to look at while still screaming at the screen because you get what needs to happen, to that end I would also suggest either All Hail the 'Splode King or if we really want to see Brad broken Best of the Best, from Splosion Man and Ms Splosion man respectively. Both are vibrant and interesting, and require learning pasterns and sequences. I'll say this though, Ms Splosion Man is a poorly designed game, with wonky camera and blind faith jumps, I would start to feel sorry for him after a few hours. Also the sound design would make me want to stuff cacti in my ears.
@jonnyboy Didn't know that. I'm still glad my idea is better than the typical Dark Souks response.
I love L4D and personally I'd love to see him try and get The Real Deal, but if you want to get that achievement legit you're gonna need three shit hot L4D2 players with you, the greatest weapon in that game by far are your team mates.

Actually, I bet that Dead Space 2's hardcore mode would be an entertaining watch.

Ah, that ain't so hard. Aside from some select moments, Dead Space 1 is pretty easy, even on the hardest difficulties. I'd say Dead Space 2 on hardcore would be more fun to watch since there's more pressure involved and it'd be funny to see Brad get sent back to the beginning of the game after 3-4 hours of gameplay. And it'd have to be the PS3 version so he's restricted to the 3 saves and not 4.
I was thinking the same. I beat Dead Space 1 on hard with only plasma cutter my first playthrough. There was no unlockable difficulty right? I S ranked it so I don't think there was. It wasn't hard at all. Dead Space 2 was indeed harder... I just remember being stuck in rooms and feeling like some of the enemies coming were endless. Was more annoying than anything and why I still think Dead Space 1 is better.
But I don't think they want a full length game for Breaking Brad... right? More of a short, hard segment of a game or a XBLA game or something? I enjoyed watching him try to do Trials. I'd be up for more of that.
There is no way Brad could beat dead space 2 with only 3 saves, watching him restart after 3 hours of gameplay would be stupid. I said Dead Space 1 because although it is hard it is not impossible. It is an unlockable difficulty but I know he's already beat the game at least once.
I can sit here and say that mile high club wasn't hard at all nor is dead space on impossible (yes I have them both) but for someone like Brad I'm sure it would be a nice challenge. The only difference between Dead Space and Dead Space 2 on their hardest challenge is the 3 saves problem, the difficulty is the same. But if ya'll want Dead Space 2 is fine as well.
Well I'm a unique soul that only ever uses 1 save on every single game I play. :)
Never really see the point in multiple saves. It's not like the old days like Resident Evil where you could use up all your ammo and be completely f*cked.
I think you misunderstand. It's not three save SLOTS, it's three saves PERIOD.
I think people are entirely missing the point by suggesting he play through an entire game. Breaking Brad isn't an ER.
This. This so much. A short game like FTL could be plausible, but, come on. Breaking Bad is supposed to be about getting a single, precise and concrete accomplishment (getting an Achievement is the perfect goal). I loved the recent Doom 2 stream, but at the end he was more "tired" than "broken". I would want Brad to tackle something more specific than "beat X game in difficult Y with restrictions Z".
It's quick, it's direct, it's very specific. Unlocking "The Kid" in Super Meat Boy. Also, I would love for a tsunami of congratulations and jubilation after finishing the first level, only for him to be utterly destroyed by the 2nd level of this series. (all in all, the 3rd level is cake by comparison).
Yeah, I think the Super Meat Boy one is the best. As much as I'd like to see more Dark Souls, it's just far too nebulous to work as a Breaking Brad. Unlocking the Kid in SMB is simple, there's an achievement tied to it, Brad hasn't got the achievement, it's damn hard, and you can see from the Lemon Lens that he's going to struggle with it.
I think another good one would be to just beat Spelunky. Not in under 8 minutes like in the BLLSL, but just to beat the damn game. You could do either beating the game with or without shortcuts, and Brad has neither achievement.

Thinking of it now, I think the only drawback to unlocking "The Kid" is that it absolutely has to be done in one go. I mean, if he ended up pulling through and beating the first level, but didn't have the endurance to finish the rest that day? If he ever wanted to try again, he'd have to go through the first level all over again. None of his progress would matter.
Nothing like SMB or Geometry Wars. It's kinda boring watching a guy doing the same 10-30 seconds over and over again. Doom was awesome cause stuff changes and you make progress. Geometry Wars was pretty boring cause it's always the same. I would watch Brad playing FTL, that would be cool but I guess the game is still too new? So maybe Binding of Isaac or Spelunky? That could be fun.

From experience, once you've beaten it once it's WAY easier to do it a second time.
A lot of these are sounding more and more like Endurance Run's but on a harder difficulty, I think they should be more focused like the Mile High Club achievement (although doing the same scenario over and over could get a bit tedious).
To contradict what I said in the beginning and jump in with the campaign esque ones's, just because it ties into an upcoming release, Halo Reach Legendary Solo - A Monument to All Your Sins
Yeah, that's why I think that FTL or other vaguely Roguelikes like Binding of Isaac would be perfect. They are short (in theory), always different and can be super difficult.

I agree, I've done it multiple times as well. If it came to that scenario though, I highly doubt he would give it a second try.

Oh yeah I misunderstood. Ya... I never did that then and I wouldn't subject myself to that at all lol. I hate achievements like that where you can get far in a game and fail and it all be a huge waste of time.
he also tried trials on big live show so theres that one.
could also be cod wow the last 2 lvl's are insanely hard with the instant/constant respawn and frag happy soldiers combined with terrible check point placement.
