Most annoying enemies in video games.

In your oppinion, which enemies are the most annoying in any video game you have played? For me it has to be Wizzrobes from the first Legend of Zelda. These things just warp through walls and rush at you, and fire a bunch of spells. Their attacks do a lot of damage to you if you don't have the red or blue ring. And worst of all, they take quite a few hits to kill.

Anything that has been programmed to heal itself in RPGs. That's just flat-out CHEATING! :evil:

I'm playing Prototype right now, and while the game was balanced the end is straight up annoying. The super hunters just lock on you and spam the same move over and over, and supersoldiers spam their grab attack as well. It isn't even like it makes the game hard, just annoying. "Oh look, I'm being grabbed again. *Sigh* Where's the prompt to counter?"

The obvious one: The Flood in the Halo series. That yeti thing from Uncharted 2. The husks in Mass Effect 2; they are frustrating to no end. Also just about every enemy in Resistance 2. The satyrs in God of War come to mind too.

The devourers from Guild Wars andany other opponent that pops up out of the ground. It gets really annoying when only a couple pop up.After the fight is over and you'vecollected the loot and begin to move on then the rest of the group pops up for round two.

Any enemy that stuns your character.

Seriously, getting stunned in a videogame is the worst. Also, I think it's bad design. There is no feedback for the player to justify a stun. You are playing the character, so in essence you are the character. When he gets stunned, you get stunned. But you do not feel stunned (obviously), therefor it becomes incredibly frustrating. It's like losing control of your character for 2 seconds without a good reason to me. It just blows.

Alexei from Tales Of Vesperia can get really annoying with his Ice Fang attack or something like that, where it attacks you, but heals him at the same time. It can get really irritating!

If you want a real challenge, the final boss in Drakensang - River of Time. It took me a good 30 minutes to defeat it.topsemag55

remind me never to show you duhuum mmk..

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dhuum

to put things in prspective for you an average player has about 500-600hp while duhuum has around 80,000!!!

he can also kill almost anyone in a single hit. he is so powerful that he rises from the grave to slay players that cheat in-game..

duhuum is like a 45 minute fight if not longer for a team of 8 players and its really.. really easy to screw up.

Some of Final Fantasy series bosses are downright annoying...for example, Barthendelous from Final Fantasy 13 was boring as hell.

That invincible necromorth in dead space that just follows you around being a pita while you wait for the doors to unlock -_- not really hard to deal with but the door mechanics did make it annoying.

Incendiary Ninjas in Ninja Gaiden 2, sooo cheap...

....................... haha what? Do you pain and like you're being thorn to pieces when the enemies pull your legs and arms off one by one? It's a game mechanic to punish you for not moving or dodging, that is all.

Usually the final boss in games like Tekken, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter is a frustrating experience...

radec from killzone2. moves super fast and has a cloak ability. not cool

Things that do negative status effects.

I never liked the head crabs in Half Life - always meant having to get your crowbar out and dodging left/right for a few seconds, or inevitably getting attacked in an air vent.

You know, Mithos never gave me any trouble in Symphonia...

Metamania

I honestly don't remember him spamming that for me in Vesperia. I do recall his frequent and liberal use of mystic artes, though. And that was no fun on Unknown difficulty :cry:

Even though I absolutely love KOF games, many of the newest installments have some of the cheapest, most annoying bosses ever! They use the same two or three ultra powerful moves over and over again, and you're often dead before landing one punch on them. What makes them even more annoying is that most of the time, the only reasonable way to beat them is to be just as cheap as the boss; kinda defeats the purpose of it testing your fighting skills :/

[QUOTE="mmmwksil"] Mithos in Tales of Symphonia was total BS.

Good thing there wasn't an achievement to beat Vesperia on Unknown difficulty, eh? :P

anything with a ridiculous queeky voice

The birds in Ninja Gaiden. OH MY GOD HOW I HATE THEM.Oil_rope_bombs

^That and the flying medusa heads in Castlevania.

Good thing there wasn't an achievement to beat Vesperia on Unknown difficulty, eh? :P

Metamania

I would've earned it, because I did beat the game on Unknown (and it was fun to boot). However, it was no where near as fun as the Unknown difficulty in Tales of the Abyss. I blame it on the lack of a Glory skill for anyone but Yuri.

Yeah, I wouldn've earned it too, because I also did the same thing. From start to finish, I beat it on Unknown and it was challenging, but fun! Even though I've beaten Abyss, I never beaten Abyss on Unknown...wonder how much more of a pain it would be go through on it than on Vesperia?

Tenfold XP and transfer all C.Cores and AD Skills if you do. It makes the game not only much more manageable, less of a chore compared to Vesperia. A friend to play a second character alongside you also makes battles so much more hectic! Nothing like making mad dashes to those FoFs to use the fancy artes :P

Molboro from every Final Fantasy game ever made. Big tentacled monstrosities straight out of your more horrible adults only anime nightmares. If that wasn't bad enough then they inflict every single negative status effect in the game on your entire party with a single move. Then you can just sit and watch helplessly as your party kills each other and slowly dies of poison.

Ironically all my choices are from FF games. Runners up inclided but not limited to:

Bombs

Tonberries

Cactuars

A million times this! Both Witcher games come to mind when talking about the cheapness of stun affects. Seriously made the game so cheap on the harder difficulties and even pushed me to trade harsh words with my monitor on more than one occasion. Never a less pleasurable experience then being driven to such heights of anger you yell at inanimate objects, pleading for them to cut you a break, makes you look a bit loony.

^ THIS!!!! XD

And those flying medusa heads in Castlevania. I can't climb the stairs with those damn things flying all over the place.

And the mages in Persona 3, the ones that can kill you in one hit with that unfair spell. I always flee the battle IMMEDIATELY if I'm up against them.

And mimics. The monsters that disguise themselves as treasure chests. They're harder to kill than the average enemy, and they're in just about every JRPG.

I remember Alexei spamming his mystic arte over and over again. If you're not at full health, you're dead. DX

I remember there were a few times in that boss fight when I was out of his reach when he cast it, and I was all like: "HELL YEAH!!!!!! :D:D:D"

Enemies that have ultimate attacks that can kill the player in one hit are probably the most annoying.

Anything that heals itself is extremely irritating, also enemies that are invincible in certain spots and can only be hurt a certain way are also extremely irritating.

Medusa heads in CastlevaniaBlack_Knight_00

The most correct anwser hands down

Easily the most annoying enemy in any series, they aren't powerful but they are always placed in the most hazardous areas which end in instant death.

i always hated flying stuff that was hard to hit. also any enemies that can 1 shot you is just terrible gameplay and not fun.

Bats. In anything, bats are the most annoying things ever. But if you're wanting more specific enemies (like saying Goombas, or Bowser) then I would have to say the Yeti boss from EVO on the SNES. It is just an annoyingly cheap boss that is..... annoying.

every enemy in Demon's Soul's, damn i sucked at that game.

A WILD ZUBAT HAS APPEARED!!!!

Also the majority of the enemies on Demon's Souls, most notably Black Phantom Garl Vinland. The guy takes off stupid damage and has awesome armor, also he heals himself constantly which is really annoying due to the lack of damage you can do on the guy.

Other notables are the likes of Jinpachi, Geese Howard, Akuma and pretty much any Bullet Hell game.
