Enemies You Always Have and Always Will Take Seriously...

[Cheesus333]

Scions from Mass Effect 2.

While easy to kill,

Please explain your tactic to me. Right now.

My soul dies a little whenever one shambles on-screen.

 

[Harold Donchee]

Nothing is more sinister, however, than that damn left paddle in Pong.

How about Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde from Pac-man? You cant eat them over and over, but they keep coming back. God help us if they ever get out of that maze..

 

[Nouw]

Aliens in AVP2. Whether or not they're miles away. Soon they'll be at point blank range, clawing at your face.

 

[ultrachicken]

Any given full-sized dragon in Dragon Age: Origins. I fought both Flemeth and High Dragon 3 times before given up, and the Archdemon nearly broke my spirit.

I thought the archdemon was easy if you used the ballistas on him.

You can, but only if you have a Rogue with you.

See, if you don't bring a rogue, then the ballistas will eventually jam and be rendered useless.

A rogue can fix them, but if you don't have one (which is normal, as some people's party configurations are warrior-tank, warrior-dps, mage-healer, mage-dps or something similar) then you'll have to do it all on foot.

OT: Most of the Collosi from Shadow of the Colossus, specifically Collosi number 13.

It's more about being awe-struck than being frightened or intimidated, but I believe it counts.

But I killed him 3 times using exclusively ballistas without any of them breaking down.

Then they have either patched that because people were complaining, or you are a very lucky man.

I prefer to think the latter

 

[Evilsanta]

I have to say the regenerator and Dr.Salvador from RE4, Ugh they gave me hard time...But then i got the handcannon! Say hello to my little friend!

There's actually a few. I'll go for the top 3.

3) Protoss Carriers from Starcraft. Now that I'm sorta a vet on Starcraft, it's not that bad, but I remember getting carrier swarmed every single time I went on LAN for at least a month.

2) Obelisks of Light from C&C. I remember the first time I went after a base that had Obelisks guarding it. I had my usual death squad of Minigunners and Grenadiers. Ended up with a whole lotta barbecue.

1) Gratha heavy fighters from the original Wing Commander. I'm fairly sure none of the kids will know what I'm talking about but the older guys should. Those bloody things had a great weapon combo, tough armour and were maneuverable enough to get you in front of their guns. This is the one fighter that I went "Oh Hell" whenever I saw it coming at me in packs.

For Me? I agree with Infernai. As much as I hate Nintendo's personal rendition of reanimated corpses, they don't fill me with as much fear as the Kingdom Hearts version of Sephiroth. The git is ridiculously quick, powerful and still has a move that can reduce you to 1HP. When your playing as a small, remarkably slow child without much in the way of finesse or skill as your opponent, you just get to Lvl 99, equip your nastiest weapon and charge. Straight into his massive sword. There's a joke about over-compensating for something with that sword somewhere. Oh wait! Someone got there!

The one in the second instalment is still difficult despite Sora becoming vastly speedier. He just gets more relentless.

Oh! And all the bosses in Half-Life that appeared on Xen. Partly because they were long fights, partly because I had little idea how I came to be fighting them short of stumbling into their lairs.

I thought Sephiroth was much more difficult in Kingdom Hearts 1, because he leaps around everywhere and spams an AoE which means you can only hit him about 20% of the time.

For me, it has to be Elder Wyrm. I know it's an optional boss, but still, I can't be doing with the bastard. I could go into great detail as to why I hate him, but frankly, if you've played FFXII, you'll know.

 

[Kris015]

The Joker.

MwaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

 

[Doctor Panda]

No matter the game, no matter the engine: carrion crawlers. Fuck you paralysis!

 

[-Samurai-]

Doom Knights in Diablo 2. The bastards used to cast Iron Maiden(a skill that returns the melee damage to them, back to you, but adds more on to it) until Blizzard decided to remove that skill from them.

That shit was hell on a werebear sorceress that hit for 88k. Not even my merc stood a chance.

Those, and MW2s juggernauts. No .50cal? You're pretty much out of luck.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

The fast Half Life zombies, the first time I fought one It was In a building, and he almost killed me as I frantically reloaded my shotgun. I then closed the door, barriacaded It, and hid, and wept.

I'm less intimidated now, but one thing that will always get me is the Gravios from Monster Hunter, a monster I only have killed twice simply because I hate fighting the thing. It has a rock hard shell, sleep gas, fire gas, a charge, and It can fire a laser beam of death, and the first time I fought it with a small hand axe ... yeah.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Pyramid Head.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DONT SKIN AND RAPE ME!

 

[captaincabbage]

Helghast. They're British space-nazis and I'll be damned if they don't look the business.

 

[Nazulu]

Nearly all of them?

Lately it's the big daddies in Bioshock, it's because I'm trying to conserve ammo.

First one ever was the boomerang brothers in Super Mario Brothers 3, those bloody boomerangs are difficult to dodge.

The Hardest enemy I took seriously was probably the Jaggernauts in Specter, anyone would find those things to be a pain in the ass.

 

[Beastialman]

Most of the Pikmin bosses (1 and 2).

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Arch-Viles from Doom 2. You spend bloody ages and half your ammo clearing an area of bad guys, then one of those buggers turns up and starts raising corpses back to life. After growing up playing that game I now have an instinctive urge to charge head-long at any and all golden skeletons wreathed in flame that I see - which is more of an inconvenience than you might initially think....

EDIT -

Those, and MW2s juggernauts. No .50cal? You're pretty much out of luck.

I hear you on that. Desert Eagles work as well by the way, but yeah, it's sniper rifles and hand cannons only.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Any given full-sized dragon in Dragon Age: Origins. I fought both Flemeth and High Dragon 3 times before given up, and the Archdemon nearly broke my spirit.

Oh yeah, its called the Age of the Dragon for a reason I suppose, I have only ogtten far enough to fight one dragon and it was a ***** to put down.

Scions from Mass Effect 2.

While easy to kill, they've screwed me over a number of times by instantly depleting my shield so husks can swarm me. Hate those guys.

This x100, they wouldn't;t be that troublesome if they did not put up a barrier ever 30 seconds.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Poison headcrab zombies in HL2, and the poison headcrabs themselves.

That game is piss easy even on Hard but I still take out those guys out very very carefully. Every time I hear that awful groan of theirs I proceed with extreme caution.

That. Oh my god, I hate poison zombies.
