Most unfair and cheap enemies ever?

[The Rookie Gamer]

What would you view as one of the most downright unfair enemies ever? Please explain why they were.

For me, it's the God damn Jackal snipers of Halo 2, for 3 reasons.

1. One shot kill
3. Could hit you across the map.
3. They were EVERYWHERE! Anyone who played the level Outskirts on Legendary could attest. There were around 20 in that level, and the moment you walked out of cover, you could get murdered in a second.

The snipers in Half-life 2, on the train track level, comes to mind. Pretty much for the same reasons you brought up.

Those headless assholes from Serious Sam that run at you and blow up. They spawn from God knows where, run really fast, and do a mass amount of damage if they kamikaze your ass, and still do a lot if they aren't killed from a metric city block away.

Still havent; played the first one, but I remember the kamikaze unicycle clowns from the second game.

Minion Ballista from Global Agenda.

Whose idea was it to give a very common enemy a cover-bypassing insta-kill attack?

enemies with a shield, let me clarify this, giant shields that cover the entire body, takes a million shots/chops/fireballs to get down and doesn't seem to stop them from wielding badass weapons or slow them down, the two worst that i can think of right now are the ones from halo CE, they freaking recharged, and the riot shields from MW2, i only played MP for 2-3 hours, but i would rather face a helicopter than a guy with a riot shield.

also, yaay, 2011th comment.

juggernauts. Oh I am sorry i just hit you with about 5 fucking grenades and countless bullets, so your telling me your ears ARNE'T bleeding from the sound of the blast that was right next to you? Well here is a RPG.....O well just blow that off too lets yell fuck realism!! (mw2)

 

[Sacman]

90% of the enemies from Darksiders we're cheap bastards that could knock out a quarter of your health bar in one hit...<.<

 

[Jurian]

most of the enemies in the more recent sonic games, most of them are placed just for cheap deaths.

 

[Bailoroc]

The fricking Medusa heads in Castlevania.

They swarm like crazy.

They can knock you back, usually off the narrow ledges usually found in the clock tower stage.

And they can cast stone, which will cause you to be unable to recover from said fall, even if you have the double jump or flying skill, and in most installments, being stoned causing double damage.

I've been playing A LOT of Tron: Evolution, so I might be in the minority here but:

Those damn agile guards. They resist everything and even when you slow them down you gotta spam attack them to kill them, I dunno what the hell it is, I can kill most things in 3-4 heavy smash attacks on INSANE (hardest difficulty), but they take almost 6-7 heavy smash attacks. It's too much!

I agree, in Tron they have Heavy Guards with a shield which take a LOT of damage to kill, it's expected, yeah, so I'm not nearly as angry as I am with the agiles.

Enemy RPG troops from Mercenaries 1. My friend and I call them RPGtards because they have no self-preservation instinct whatsoever. They come in packs, run right up to you, and shoot you at point blank range.

Shields are always annoying, but the enemies with the shields in Halo: CE known as Hunters, could be killed with one shot from the pistol to the exposed flesh.

Anyone here play Dark Messiah of Might and Magic? Those goddamn spiders were everywhere, they were insanely hard to kill, and their poison will fucking kill you if they so much as touch you. Unless you have an antidote potion, of course. Which is only one use and doesn't protect you from subsequent bites, when you're standing right in the middle of a swarm of them. Did I mention you only get ten or so antidotes up until the time you meet your first spiders? You're going to die in here, man. You're going to die.

 

[d4rkxy13x]

Agreed. Shields are crap, and I find them horrible in borderlands. What ? I missed his shield and hit his armor ? 0 damage. I hit his shield for 0 damage also ! The Clap-Hyperion guys with shields are the worst.

And don't forget the Zombies (my contribution to this thread), you would be hacking away at them and then suddenly: BAM! poison breath!

 

[Player Two]

The black fuzzy things from Korsakovia (HL2 mod) come to mind as the WORST enemies, period. But also unfair and cheap, seeing as you had to melee them, but their melee was infinitely more powerful, you couldn't actually see them properly, and they attacked in fucking SWARMS.

But you know, that was a mod, so I can't really hold any developers responsible...

The final boss from the new DoA. Unless she decides it is your turn to win you can not win

Yep, that was my initial thought when i clicked on the thread. Fucking Juggernauts.

Megaman has quite a few, and Battle Kid.
