Ugly humanoid aliens? A bit of a cliche by now which is a shame because I simply love Mass Effect and it wont spoil the game for me.

Easily, giant bugs.

Not sure why this one is here, tbh. They've only been in RPG games, mostly, like Dark Souls and Skyrim. Maybe others, sure, but not that many.

As for the answer, however, I'd have to go with probably the German/Russian/Guy With A Gun enemy. No imagination whatsoever and with the COD. EVERY. SINGLE. @#$%ING. YEAR. thing going on they are quite overused.

But that skeleton has an axe. :P

However, yeah, I get the point but can't a dev do some kind of scrounging (or whatever that word is) for their games? I mean, a skeleton is unimaginative as an enemy but what else can they do for an undead creature? Really, all RPGS should have some sort of undead creature; undead skeleton, undead zombie, undead dragon, undead werewolf, undead something, undead whatever, undead etc. etc.

That's just me, of course.

Pretty much all of those, and though I like zombies they don't need to be in every game. I'd like to see them in GTA IV though (or GTA V) similar to Undead Nightmare for RDR. Other than that, I'd say they are used too much, just like the others listed.

Every game has a zombie.

any kind of enemy that burst into tiny smaller enemies that swarm... these need to go

Definitely zombies. Even major motion pictures are over using the zombie concept. Gorbenshore

fans of the genre have not got a major motion picture in a while... Im beggin for these to come back. Hopefully World War Z will come through

Human enemies with guns obviously, i hate when games have only that

That is one of the reasons i like GEars 3, it has monsters for a change

Russians and Germans. You can imagine my surprise when I had to shoot the white guy in Golden Abyss.

Why haven't slimes been mentioned?

I don't think I've ever seen an RPG without them.

Humans.

I like killing giant bugs, I want moar of them. :x

Zombies

Mostunique monster:

I'm so tired of fighting giant spiders in RPGs, I'm tired of Russians and Germans in FPS games. Though I am American and love my country (Gov not so much) I would like to see us play more villain roles. I mean so of the crap we do in RL is pretty villain like. I'm sure our Gov would have a hissy fit if that were to happen though.

The giant bugs option should be changed to giant spiders, because 95% of the time that's the bug the developers choose, which really annoys me because I'm arachnophobic. What makes giant spiders such great enemies?

Giant bugs. Tbh, all of them are pretty generic.

All of the above... I still enjoy killing them all though :P

zombies and giant rats.

Russians/Germans in fps, giant bugs in rpgs.

A giant enemy crab

How are zombies unoriginal?

Giant bugs are unoriginal. Just because zombies are in heaps of games doesn't mean their actual design is unoriginal. You could say their implementation in games is unoriginal.

Bugs are just stupid

enemies that take too many shots to take down, especially if they are supposed to be ordinary humans, like Uncharted ones.cainetao11

Yeah I hated that. Also the feedback from shooting them wasn't very good either

Zombies and Russians/Germans

In this day and age I'd say it's zombies. I swear it's like every devloper now feels the need to put zombies in all their games.

Bugs. Specifically spiders.
