Poll: What's your most hard core game enemy?

[Areani]

The Tank. Especially when its on fire:
A huge inferno of fire and flesh crashing towards you, wanting nothing but to smash you until you're part of the pavement...

 

[ianuam]

Tank. Oh definitely the tank, played alot of horror games and the only thing that comes close to it are the crimson zombies from Resident Evil. They still give me the creeps.

 

[Daymo]

The titan's in both of the resistances. In both games they take massive amounts of ammo to kill and can kill you in about three shots or less if your unlucky.

It's a shame you can beat them by just circle strafing around a waist-high object in the environment.

It would have been better if they'd had a high ranged attack like mortar fire.

Yeh, that is true, just make sure it's not a car, been blown up by them way too many times.

my most hated enemy has to be Sargent Johnsten in Halo. y? well me adn my friends were having a contest to see who could kill the most marins and well.....any one who has tried knows my pain

 

[CoverYourHead]

Alpha-whatever from Dead or Alive 4, anyone who has fought her on ANY difficulty knows my pain.

I beat big daddies with the wrench, that game is way too easy.

Dr. Salvador gets #2

 

[spuddyt]

Bioshocks were massively scary at first, but then i realised i could keep respawning over and over and eventually kill it with a goddamn wrench - so that ruined it

 

[Good morning blues]

The Half-Life 2 Striders with those massive guns on their bellies always made me shit my pants more than the Antlion Guards. All you need to do to kill the antlion guards is circle-strafe and use a lot of explosives; a battle with a strider is a constant race into cover.

Actaully my most hated would be my allies in Dynasty Warriors or Warriors Orochi. Whenever you have to say take out 3 officers in under 10 minutes they wait around and do nothing, doing as much damage as a irate chipmunk would until you whittle the officers down to a bare nub of health. Then they all decide to charge, blocking your view and steal your kill.
Not to mention when LuBu shows up they all flee and let the bastard come right to you. The only exception for that is obviously your army leader who if he dies its game over so he simply must throw himself at every officer and overwhelming force including LuBu. Just to get taken out in 5 seconds losing the match for you making all that running around keeping the bastard alive a total waste of time.

but you HAVE to run from Lu Bu. It's rule #1 in the rules of engagement!

I say Deathclaws, with Salvador close behind. I ran into salvador with nothing but that crappy ass handgun. "oh crap. that don't look go..."-RRRREEEAAAHHH!!!

 

[Avida]

None of these are hardcore, these are demi-bosses at most. Wheres my option for the Last dragon from DQVIII, Ozma, Black Dante or anyone from socom 2!

cant be arsed to edit the large quote

Simple, to kill lu bu get to red health, fire mosou, run, rinse, wash, repeat (note, blade lock and your screwed XD)

 

[kommando367]

polarity assault dark elves in too human becuase have a habit of fireing enough arrows to block out the sun 300 style, and inflicts DOT effects if you get hit with 1

 

[mokes310]

That Tank always gets me, every time I play L4D. I swear, I must have a homing beacon on my chest when he spawns!

 

[Fightgarr]

Rust Dragons (from Heroes of Might and Magic III)
The Demon Wall (makes equally frustrating appearances in FFVII and IV)
The underwater colossus (from SotC obviously)
Velius (FF Tactics)
Last but definitely not least (how could they have been forgotten) the cyberdemon.

 

[Woe Is You]

Doom. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wotZMGkR_0M] Just...Doom.

Oh, and Big Daddies stopped being scary the moment you realized that you can freeze them and hit them to death with your wrench.

 

[OddOzZy666]

A name that strikes fear into any Square Enix gamer.... Sephiroth!

 

[Dubiousduke]

The Berserker from Oblivion (PC)
If anyone has the Berserker mod, they will understand.

on a more relevant scale, I'd pick the Antlion guard in a pinch

 

[Mr0llivand3r]

the final boss in Doom3, Hell's Guardian or whatever it's called.


that was fucking gnarly

 

[geldonyetich]

Fairly good capturing of the gamer's mindset with those four guesses, but the "others" still win.

S.H.O.D.A.N. remains my most hardcore game enemy. She wasn't that hard to dispatch at the end of the game, but she certainly toys with you a lot more effectively.

Jack in Fable 1 was a pretty satisfying boss fight too... both times.

Sepherioph [sic?] was a effeminate tease in comparison, really. Drags you along through 99% of the game refusing to face you, you have to research his life story to get him to set a date, and by the time you do wrestle him he turns out to be a half-angelic mutant. Women! Am I right?

 

[RavingLibDem]

'The Cyborg Midwives from System Shock 2.'

a thousand times yes! I have to say that is the one game that has truly had me terrified all the way through, there's just no let up!
