Enemies That Make You Go "Oh Fuck This"

[Drakmorg]

Flowsand Lord/Yowie from FFTA2.
It has an attack that is completely unavoidable, does heavy damage, and steals life as well.
It has other attacks too, but the AI is smart enough to know that it will never, ever need to use anything else but '100% accuracy life-steal om-nom-nom'.

Every fight against it is nothing but a friggin' endurance match to see if you can kill the thing before it eats all of your soldiers.

Oh, and the first time you fight it, it has re-spawning minions. So screw that noise as well.

Not a video game, but I refuse to play any player who plays Necrons in Warhammer 40k. Fuck your respawn bullshit.

One of my best friends played Necrons, I could never beat him, not because I suck, but because those things respawn like it's nothing. Well....fire warriors kinda suck at CQC, but that's beside the point.

Anyway
OT: I believe they're called Stalkers, from Borderlands 2, those things, I dunno what it is, but I can never hit them before they disappear.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

I'm gonna say either the Sectopod or the Cyberdisk in XCOM. Those things suck.

HEAT ammo for heavy's is your best answer.

Chrysalids on terror missions, especially when they go for the civvies to make a zombie horde.

 

[Patathatapon]

Meehh, I dunno depends on what I'm playing.

In Minecraft just about anything that gets me killed, especially skeletons! Those mother fuckers can shoot you without looking at you! I also play hardcore mode which is where the hate comes from even more! I don't play Minecraft often anyway though so I wouldn't say it counts.

In General though, It would have to be a group of 4 people or more in Crysis (1). Like Farcry, once those fuckers look at you or you take a shot, they all gang up on you to turn you into a bullet sandwich. I like Crysis though, don't know why. I guess it's the same vibe of Farcry.

Oh and since everyone else is saying Borderlands 2, I'd say anything in the game. The game is intolerable because of all the bullshit they make me do. It's got a few good ideas like the grabbing new weapons with lots of differences, but they're so common it get's annoying having to get ammo and money and weapons from millions of crates all put beside each other. Not to mention the Gunzerker's "Inconceivable" perk pretty much breaks the game once you get 2 half decent shotguns.

Anyway, apologies for getting off topic ^^^ there. I'm prepared for people telling me I'm retarded, because I don't think Borderlands is as good as liquid Jesus.

Rabid Stalkers and Rabid Skags in Borderlands 2. FUCK THAT SHIT!

 

[romanator0]

Merveil in Path of Exile. She has an instant attack she can spam that slows you when you get hit by it and if you try to fight her at range or try to kite her she has a projectile that is guaranteed to land a critical hit. The only way to beat her is to melee her, even if you made a ranged character.

The boss in FTL. If you haven't been lucky enough to get the gear to build your ship correctly then you're SOL. And even if you get to build yourself right it's still a pain in the ass. First stage is just a really tough fight, second stage is an absolute ton of drones, and third stage is a flood of invaders inside your ship although the third stage should be easy enough if you prepared for it during the first 2 fights.

Zubat, 'nuff said.

Ekans, f*ck that snake. Seriously. If you got unlucky then the entire fight devolved into "Ekans used wrap!" and then you were chain stunlocked. No chance of switching, no chance of attacking, I'm pretty sure you couldn't even run. That snake was the bane of my childhood. I'm so glad that mechanic was changed after the first generation.

Just get an electric rocket launcher and you are fine with those fuckers. It took me a while to figure out how to kill them as well.

OT: Any sizable group of enemies in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I like to have a challenge when i play and try not to use weapons often, but a lot of the times I'm forced to because the enemies can hear a pin drop from a mile away.

 

[maswell]

Regenerator's from RE4. I can't handle the breathing.

 

[enriquetnt]

I hate those damn shield carrying Bandits in Borderlands 2, the ones without a hole in their shield.

-Grenades never stun them
-they never lower the shield
-Because the AI is psychic, and knows where you are at all times, trying to run around and flank them is pointless because they will just stand in one spot and swivel to face you faster then you can run around the.

I thank god for Zero's invisibility skill, its pretty much the only thing I have ever used that works at getting around them.

Deathtrap is also nice because the enemies turn to face it, and due the fact is always storms past the enemies in the front, means the shield guys always turn around and stop facing me allowing me to shoot them.

I always keep a pistol with bonus explosive damage with me just because the explosive damage goes past their shield, i hate having to stand around slowly widdiling down their hp when everything else dies 10X faster because their not so poorly designed.

You just said it yourself they have a HOLE in the shield, whit a good sniper rifle just shoot trough the hole (im playing on 360 with a controller and is quite easy) just get a sniper whit a big magazine even if the damage isnt that great, in the long run 20 200dmg bullets is more than 6 500dmg ones, and the really big damage snipers usually comes whit only 3 bullet magazines and hell long reload times, also corrosive grenades do wonders whit these guys they actually make them raise theyr shields.

and for everyone else complaining just never take a mission underleveled, any enemy just one level above you can ream your ass, and the other way around if you are one level above them, just do all the side quests, theyr lots of fun and youll be overleveled the whole way trough the game, (gunzerker FTW!!!!)

 

[DementedSheep]

I don?t know whether he counts since he is more of puzzle than an enemy but...

Blockhead, fucking blockhead from Okami.

 

[Bagged Milk]

This fucking smug piece of shit:

Spoiler

he can almost one shot kill you from across the map! He can deny creeps without ever being seen. It's impossible to harass him! I don't normally get angry at games, but when I do, it's because of this asshole.

 

[Amaury_games]

I think that these two are definitely qualifiers:
Zubat:

and Tentacool:

Pretty much any time where you have a far distance to walk/surf with ALWAYS THE SAME annoying-as-hell-to-fight Pokemon in between. It would be one thing if Zubat only showed up 20% of the time in a cave, but it generally shows up upwards of 70% of the time. And with Tentacool, depending on the route, they'll show up over 90% of the time.

I thought immediately about them when I saw the question!

Since you already wrote down what I hate about them, I'll go further and say it's all the Random Number Generator of Pokemon about which pokemon appear when you're grinding or looking for a rare one!
When you're training an Ice pokemon in a cave, hoping to get Flying Zubats or Rock/Ground Geodudes, it always appear some Fighting Machop or whatever else is good against you in that cave, but when you're training a Flying Pokemon to Gust the hell out of those freaking Machops, the Geodudes come like crazy! Fuck this! XD (the situation obviously applies to all other times when RNG screws with us, like when you're good with health and then the other Pokemon uses a very strong - and yet supposed to be unreliable - attack, and not only does it hit, but it's also a critical hit and your pokemon faints!)

 

[theevilgenius60]

I hate lower animals( skags for example) in Borderlands 2. I hate how they charge you, buffetting your aim right as you are about to crit hit their badass right in his gob. Bam! Nope, you hit the grass. Also, on those badass nomads, it's good to keep some singularity nades, makes life easier, especially if you're Axton, Maya or Gaige. Round em up with the nade, work on them with your class power/gun of preference.

 

[Garland]

Anything that has a habit of or the sole intention of self-destructing from Gravelers, to EXP Loaders, to Creepers, to Bombs from Final Fantasy. I understand the intent and there are balancing factors such as low health or obvious warnings, but I hate the buggers nonetheless.

 

[Garland]

Oh, and also anything that summons lots of other enemies like Heretics in God of War 2.

I said "THE ONES WITHOUT A HOLE IN THEIR SHIELD"

I hate those damn shield carrying Bandits in Borderlands 2, the ones without a hole in their shield.

 

[mrhappy1489]

When I first received Pokemon Gold, fucking Whitney almost made give up on the game. Seriously that whore and her Miltank can go fuck themselves.

 

[Saltyk]

Well, I'd say Malboro in Final Fantasy is one of my mast hated enemies. Why, I'd love every negative status effect in the game to my whole party at once. How did you know? FF8 probably had the worst version of it ever. Without junction defense against the worst status effects, you will never survive an encounter. Plus, this version has one of the highest HPs among normal monsters. I'd fight pretty much every enemy in the game, but I'd run from these bad boys. And the worst part is dying from the Bad Breath attacks amount to just watching your characters slowly die over time. Might as well just restart then and save time.

Other annoying enemies are those with instant kill attacks. Or those with effectively unavoidable attacks.

Or how about just making an enemy artificially difficult by powering up their attacks to insane levels while making your damage do practically nothing, and the enemy may or may not be affected by your attacks? That's fun in a fighting game.
