Enemies that you absolutely hate to fight in video games

[Cheesus333]

Spoiler: Hi guys. I'm a Grenchler.

The important things to remember about me are twofold:

1) Weakpoint on the rear, otherwise invulnerable skin. Fuck your military-grade missile systems, I have evolution!

2) Lightning horn. More points for Darwin!

Basically, I'm gonna charge at you like a boss and you're going to get beaten down like a petulant child. Then you'll get up, get my lightning horn all up in your face, then try to jump around me BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Any exposure of my rear lasts a second or two tops, so I hope you've got that super missile charged! And not to mention my boys, they'll mess you right up when you're focused on me.

TL;DR? If you don't got missiles - and lots of them - you may as well just shoot yourself.

Peace out, humanoids.

Gary oak.

Such a massive troll, Always showing up at the worst times.

 

[Neonbob]

The armored ones were just ridiculous, I spent more time dodging than actual fighting. At that point in the game I figured I was the game's ***** and I had to take it, and I wanted to show that game who's boss.

So when I decided to play the game again on hard, imagine my surprise when those guys arrived very early in the game, and I was promptly murdered. I said fuck this and haven't touched that game since, I don't need a high blood pressure, nor do I have the money to keep replacing controllers.

I spent more time swearing than hitting them XD
...wait...you went up to hard?
I can't beat some chapters on normal XD

 

[Frotality]

god. damn. bats. the flaming keese in zelda games for one; their practically made to hit you at least once no matter how fast you are, and in OoT, you either get hit while the fucking bats get low enough to slash at or get hit taking the time to shoot them down.

 

[Kayevcee]

The dwarf women in Dragon Age.

Seriously. The mafia boss one has a room full of goons and summons more when you get her down to half health, then stands in the middle of a great big pile of traps shooting arrows at you while you take care of them- oh yeah, then once you're all nice and engaged she runs out and hacks you into tiny bits! The one in the deep road (trying not to give too much away) is a ludicrously overpowered hellbitch as well.

I ended up coating everybody's weapons in soldiersbane to stop her relentless special attacks, then having my (2 weapon mastery with a pair of rune-tastic broadswords) main character momentum-ing her in the face while Leilana stabbed her frantically in the back and my caster drank lyrium potions like water to keep heal/regenerate/group heal-ing us while her resurrect spell recharged. She used it twice during that fight- it has a 120 second recharge time, which means I had two people smashing her in the face, torso and spine for more than 40 rounds. By contrast she could kill one of us in 3-4 rounds easily. There's tough, then there's just stupid.

[.No.]

Deathclaws from New Vegas.I was able to barely kill any on very easy mode. With an anti materiel rifle, with Armor Piercing rounds. I was level twenty at least.

 

[McShizzle]

The sisters from Streets of Rage 3. Stand still goddamn you!

Buddy had to pull out Shiva to whip them.

 

[kommando367]

Pretty much anything that can 1-shot you, stun-lock you to death, or spam grenades.

Also, the enemies from turn based RPGs that can dodge ANYTHING.

 

[Aeshi]

Those bloody burrowing MTs from Last Raven, very small, only vulnerable for a short time while they attack and have the firepower of something 50% larger.

 

[Fishyash]

Moths from Rayman 1.

I am absolutely honest when I say this: I have NEVER fought an enemy more annoying.

Basically, moths are 100% reactive, focusing on countering all your moves. He will duck your punches, he will fly over you and kick you if you jump. You are helpless unless you find a little trick to outsmart them.

Basically, if you're gonna fight one for the first time, you are gonna die again and again and again to them, or you will ignore them and try to run past them.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Storm Atronarchs in Oblivion. I could not get away from them once I'd started fighting. I'd step back and then they'd whack me with a rock from the belly. I just ran past them eventually.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

I know that I sound like a noob here, but that's because I am. I just got Starcraft 2 this week after playing my last RTS in 1997. It's good. Really good actually. But I do suck quite badly, and I suck even more when those damn brood lords come flying over my home base and all my forces are away. Why do I never remember to build anti air turrets. Or have some Wraiths on standby.

Oh, and I hate meeting Oblivion's minions in the original Turok games. SCARY!

 

[The Wykydtron]

Fucking Cazadors i'm currently hunting them with my 27 character just because i need vengence for all my low level deaths at their hands!

Also anything that you can't kill e.g. The Hunter in Dead Space.

Apparently I'm a masochist, but I never got very far, only to where you first meet Jeanne in that damned timed sequence on a plane!

*ahem* Yeah there were some parts that were down right sadistic, especially that part where you fight Jeanne on a plane and she throws missiles at you.

 

[Togs]

spiders, i could really do without them in games

 

[ExileNZ]

final bosses of fighting games.

Amen to that.

Failing that, the ghost piranhas from Ninja Gaiden. Fuck I hated those things.

Spoiler: Kefka

I hate fighting Drow in Pathfinder. Ambushy Poison-using asshats, all of them. "Make a Fort save! Oh, and take 5d4+5 damage from handcrossbows."

Any monster or critter that is overwhelmingly tough for it's size. If it looks like I should be able to beat it to death with a rolled-up newspaper, I shouldn't have to fear for my life whenever one shows up. Examples include: Master Tonberry, Buggers (from Halo), Barnacles (Half-Life), Leapers (Dead Space 2), Jockeys (L4D2).

 

[Kiefer13]

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.

Less for irritatingly giving a random lowly enemy a biotic barrier, armour and biotic abilities (since they're not really that much tougher than regular collectors, at least on lower difficulties), more for the incessant trash talking.

ASSUMING CONTROL OF THIS FORM. WE ARE HARBINGER. I KNOW YOU FEEL THIS. YOU WILL KNOW PAIN, SHEPARD. THIS DELAY IS POINTLESS. THIS IS TRUE POWER. THESE ATTACKS ARE POINTLESS. IF I MUST TEAR YOU APART, SHEPARD, I WILL. THE DEAD ARE USELESS.

...

I WILL DIRECT THIS PERSONALLY.​

FFFFFF.....

Though Scions and Praetorians are both more irritating individually, at least they aren't as constant an irritance.

 

[MDDC]

I don't know why, but I just can't seem to kill Pips in Death Spank, I waited until I was level 20 and went back to get my revenge, but somehow still got slaughtered. These things are ( to me ) my least favorite enemies to fight in 360 games. =P​
