Enemies that explode.

[Specter_]

I don't mind them, forces the person playing the game to actually think for a change. No need to come to a forum crying about your latest failure in gaming.

This.

I'm so unimpressed The topic title had such great potential, haha. Spontanious combustion is a way of death.

Fix'd.

Watch your language aswell, we are respectable people here.

That said, it could be worse, they could explode into more things that explode after they latch on to your face at the speed of light.

Now that would be fun to watch...

Agreed except on the count of "respectable people."
I think you'll find I am neither respectable nor people.

You'll find Max goes by the desigantion of "closet-dweller".

Left 4 Dead's Boomer pisses me off every time when it detonates near me, because I always seem to get covered in bile no matter what.

Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams grinds this further though by that exploding enemies wear armor that's insta-kill-proof until you smack it off and once they detonate, you either stay far away or you gonna suffer severe Fire damage and knockback that floors you too.

Its the difference between how its implemented to me. Enemies whose sole purpose is to run up and explode in your face, are bullshit. But a suicide grunt, or kamikaze soldier, who might be popping off shots or performing another task before blind rushing me with a grenade, is fine. It's not an entirely unrealistic battle tactic, and keeps you on your toes.

Those damn little suicide grunts.

I love the kamikazees on Serious Sam.

Dancing dogs were bad enough.

The suicide GEKKOs in MGS4 were a pain the first time round. But once you get used to them, their cuddly.

I really don't think there are enough exploding enemies in games personally.

Shame if you played him in multi-player the same didn't happen.

I know people have said it before, but the serious sam suicide bombers where awesome!! they screamed, despite not having a head, and their screams had a doppler effect when they were flying around. AAAAaaaaAAAAAAaAAAaaaAAaaAaargh etc. plus, shoot one of them in a group and BOOM! problem solved

HL2 ep1 managed it well I thought. The fact you could steal combine zombie' grenades and could get an award for doing so just made it even better ^^

I like them. They're unpredictable and unsafe and require more than just a quick trigger finger to deal with effectively. However, the difference between "cheap" and "challenging" is fine. The suicide bombers in Serious Sam? Challenging, and entertaining. Bombchus in Zelda? Cool, no problem. Lambent wretches, which swarm you constantly in some parts of Gears of War? Just plain annoying.

that would be fun in multiplayer, but it would turn into a bit of a suicide run kidna thing
