My roommate is playing the original XCOM, and every so often you can here his curses. Apparently he's at a level that is rife with chrysalids, and he hates every moment of it.sonofliber said:ethereals and chrysalids from xcom ufo defense

Hey kids, you like crazy and fast flowing combat?
Too bad, fight these guys.
Oh god yes. "Pure Form" [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Pure_Form] flood from Halo 3. Words cannot begin to describe how much I hate those guys. They absorb an absolutely stupid amount of bullets, and reset their damage every time they changed forms and they do that a lot.RJ 17 said:I was never a fan of those little Flood bastards that jump from wall to wall and snipe the fuck out of you while you're dealing with the bigger members of the Flood.
Not to mention they make a fairly terrifying noise...bl4ckh4wk64 said:These motherfuckers

Especially on Gold. They can just warp right into you and instakill you like no one's business.
I hate stalkers, but not nearly as much as Varkids... I missed out on a number of quests and items becasue I refuse to go down into the Caustic Caverns.Joshua Heissler said:Well since I am playing Borderlands 2 atm, i will narrow my choice to that game. For me, it will be Stalkers and it will be Field Rats. The damn things just don't stay still and I feel as if I am spending more time trying to kill them than I really should. Really there more of an annoyance than a actual challenge.
I don;t know what you guys are talking about... I didn't get spotted by one ever... hell by the time they got introduced, I was such a stealth powerhouse with Blink and Agility maxed out, I would literally just fly through every level on the high road... I mean by end game, even if I did cock up the stealth, I could blink and jump to the other side of the map and avoid the alarm entirely without even using up my whole mana bar...<.<undeadexistentialist said:Mother. Fucking. Tallboys. No matter how damn hard I try, I can never get the tanks on their backs, and if I'm going for non-lethal it doesn't even matter coz they can see you no matter where you are from any height or distance and ruin your day just like fucking that.The Scythian said:Tallboys, from Dishonored.
Ohh man, on true vault hunter mode, those things can like, instantly down you.taciturnCandid said:Oh yeah. Borderlands 2. Fuck Badass Fire threshers. I'd take using The Bane all day over those things.
As a Dark Eldar table-top player who rolls all poison shooting, Carnifexes don't scare me in the slightest. One of my local Nid players won't go one-on-one with me anymore after I dropped two Carnifexes to Overwatch. Gotta love Splinter Racks and re-rolls. Also, some insanely lucky rolling.Johnny Impact said:Really? I never had any trouble with them. They take some punishment but I don't recall losing a battle because of it.Soviet Heavy said:Goddamn Carnifexes from Dawn of War 2. Those things shrug off anti tank rounds like small arms fire.
Fexes are some of my favorite units in tabletop, though: Tougher than tanks and hit twice as hard, but their real power is intimidation. Chuck one of those beauties on the table, watch your foe concentrate all his firepower on it and commit entire assault squads in the often-vain attempt to destroy it.
