Only to certain people. The dev team could still beat the game in it's Alpha or Beta format. So I don't think that is applicable in this case.

Beyond that, the discussion is about hardest games to beat that you've actually beaten.

And yet it's still somehow easier to beat than the first generation implying that newer generations are getting so easy that you can finish them before they're even out.

It's very difficult to say. I mean, I used to find the first two Monkey Island games insanely hard to beat when I was younger because

a) the proliferation of the internet to look for the answers wasn't a thing yet and

b) because my silly child mind couldn't figure out to use the banana on the metronome to distract the piano-playing monkey JoJo, in order to pick him up and take him to the pump controlling the waterfall and use him on it, an 'obvious' nod to the American term 'Monkey Wrench', which I'd never heard of at that point because I was a young English lad.

I also tend to not actually complete video games any more; I much prefer to play open-ended games which don't have a linear story-line. So, uh, going back... Half Life 2? Portal? Plants vs. Zombies? There's also always Fallout: New Vegas and Binding of Issac from more recent times. None of them were particular difficult to beat, but I don't have much choice, so I guess I'd have to say Half Life 2 simply because it's the hardest linear game on the list. And it's not hard.
