The lambent wretches in Gears annoyed the hell out of me because they exploded. It stopped the usual tactic of running up to them with the lancer and carving them up, and for that they will always irritate me immensly.

That moment in Serious Sam just killed me, along with the actual enemy.Mariena said:
I can't say I've come across many suicide enemies tho, not since the ghosts of Gauntlet instantly draining of you 20 health on contact then disappearing.
Then Serious Sam did it SOOO well! They could be annoying as hell, but somehow still in a fun way, and with a nice sound system you could almost feel them running in from all around you!

Left 4 Dead's Boomer pisses me off every time when it detonates near me, because I always seem to get covered in bile no matter what.
Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams grinds this further though by that exploding enemies wear armor that's insta-kill-proof until you smack it off and once they detonate, you either stay far away or you gonna suffer severe Fire damage and knockback that floors you too.

Its the difference between how its implemented to me. Enemies whose sole purpose is to run up and explode in your face, are bullshit. But a suicide grunt, or kamikaze soldier, who might be popping off shots or performing another task before blind rushing me with a grenade, is fine. It's not an entirely unrealistic battle tactic, and keeps you on your toes.
Those damn little suicide grunts.

The suicide GEKKOs in MGS4 were a pain the first time round. But once you get used to them, their cuddly.
Shame if you played him in multi-player the same didn't happen.are.you.the.god.its.me.vader said:
I know people have said it before, but the serious sam suicide bombers where awesome!! they screamed, despite not having a head, and their screams had a doppler effect when they were flying around. AAAAaaaaAAAAAAaAAAaaaAAaaAaargh etc. plus, shoot one of them in a group and BOOM! problem solved
I like them. They're unpredictable and unsafe and require more than just a quick trigger finger to deal with effectively. However, the difference between "cheap" and "challenging" is fine. The suicide bombers in Serious Sam? Challenging, and entertaining. Bombchus in Zelda? Cool, no problem. Lambent wretches, which swarm you constantly in some parts of Gears of War? Just plain annoying.
that would be fun in multiplayer, but it would turn into a bit of a suicide run kidna thingStrong Intelligent said:
