Killed by a Ridiculously Underpowered Enemy

[Tahaneira]

Getting killed by Swarmers in ME3. That hurts the ol' pride.

I got killed by a kobold in Nethack on my first move........ I wasn't too happy that day.

I do indeed know that feel bro. I remember when I started playing ADOM, I attacked and was subsequently killed by the first shopkeeper because I didn't know how to drop items.

Wait, should I be admitting this? Shit.

The Klobb. Get that puny thing away from me!!

There is no greater shame than being finished off with the Klobb. No greater shame

I was killed by a combination of paralysis, starvation, and a grid bug in nethack once, that was embarrasing. I think the most embarassing nethack deaths I've had have to be either dying within three turns of starting because I failed to mount the horse repeatedly, because I forgot that you can't kick a door down while riding a horse, and last but not least because of an orc with a wand of fire attacking me almost the moment I started.

Morrowind, 5 minutes in, FUCKING MUDCRAB!

Not really my fault, more of Morrowinds shite on a bike combat system.

Morrowind's combat is only shit if you don't know how to play.

That said, every Morrowind player knows: when you get off the boat, you CAN'T take the one old woman in her house in a knife fight, no matter what you think

Fucking Crawlers and Stalkers in Killing Floor. Ridiculously weak cannon-fodder enemies, but they're SO ANNOYING to hit, because Stalkers are fucking invisible and Crawlers are small, jump everywhere, attack in groups, are fast, and spawn in the most annoying places.

Despite the humongous tank enemies in the game like Fleshpounds, Scrakes and Gorefasts, easily 90% of all damage you take in Killing Floor is from Stalkers or Crawlers, because they are completely bullshit like that.

(Dear god BM team I can beat HL1 on hard and did so as prep but those Marines are bullshit on toast.)

"Oh wow, full health, mostly full energy, I'm doing pretty good!" Then they shoot you three times and you die instantly.

What sticks out in my mind is the fucking encounter in Lambda Core, when you have to scout an area ahead for the scientists are you're trapped in a front desk while soldiers repel down. FUCK THAT MOMENT. Easy difficulty, multiple years of shooter experience, full health, full ammo, using all of my strong guns, memory of where soldiers appear, and complete concentration, and it took around half an hour to beat the moment where four soldiers spam you, immediately followed by five more, while two snipe you from above, when there's no health or suit power lying around in a close-quarters and no cover area where shotgunners LOVE to two-shot you.

Fuck that.

Bullshit. On. Toast. Also I think you mean the end fight in Questionable Ethics. Not Lambda Core.

I actualy had the most trouble with the part where you have to fight up a short ramp to a landing pad where a chopper keeps dropping off soldiers. I would have done okay IF THEY DIDNT SODDING KEEP BRINGING MORE IN! As it was every time I got to the top of the ramp (Even if I let them engage the two Vort's to weaken them) I got turned into paste. on the off chance I survived killing them all... the second wave was already deployed and mashed me in the face...

This was the first time in years that I have cheated at a PC game. After 3 HOURS of struggling I gave up and just god moded through the section to the missile launcher and played it from there. That was tough but actually fun and doable...

I was dicking about in an MMO once, and decided to unleash the full power of a nuke mage.
I tell me tank friend to aggro all the puny, underleveled trash mobs in an area so I could nuke them with massive AOEs and DoTs.

Mission accomplished, I hit them all and they all decided to turn around and stab me.
No amounts of concentration stat can help you fling spells when surrounded by 50 angry mobs hitting you with the ferocity of an angry bear.

Cliff racers. Cliff racers everywhere. In Morrowind, no matter how much armor and weapons you've collected, no matter how strong you are, cliff racers are always a threat. From surprising you in completely unexpected places, to arriving in packs of ten, to joining in combat against you when you are already fighting something else. Those things are probably the "weak monster" everyone ever have died to the most times.

Way back when, I simply enchanted a daedric long sword with a fifty foot radius aoe fireball.

Cliff racers not a problem anymore.

In Skyrim I wouldn't ever consider a frost mage to be underpowered. They do insane amounts of damage and sometimes glitch you so you CANNOT move, like at all, and so you die for lack of an option.

At the very lest they always slow you down, which seems to last until you sheath/unsheath your whatever again.

I've been one shot by more ice mages than Drauger Uber Deathlords.

That being said.. *haaa ha* <-- Nelson Voice

OT I laugh everytime I get pwned by a dregling in a Soul's game. I'll be running up and going to do a running attack and they just go ape shit and I'm eating their torch...

Well they certainly messed me up. Frost is easily worse than fire or lightning (unless you're a mage obviously)

Sextus, my long lost brother you have returned!

Everytime I get killed by a normal enemy in Demon's souls or Dark souls I feel like a complete noob. (Even Though i've owned both games for a year now.)

 

[hazabaza1]

I think anyone who's playing Dark Souls second time around always has the question to ask themselves: "How the fuck did these hollows kill me the first time?"

 

[mariosonicfan5]

Well for me its never fun for my day to be ruined by the dynamic duo Tonberry and Cataur in...basically any Final Fantasy gmae

Morrowind, 5 minutes in, FUCKING MUDCRAB!

I got killed by a mirelurk in Fallout 3. about 30 mins in. Was unamused.

OT: The very first enemies in demons souls knocked me down a hole ): I was sad. Then I stabbed them with spear.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

This happens in Halo on Legendary all the time.

- Have a hard-as-nails fight to the death against Hunter Pair/Brute Chieftain/Elite General.

- Just win by the skin of your teeth.

- "Holy shit did you see that?! I'm fucking aweso-" *get shot by unseen Grunt*

- "FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..."

Ah, Nethack. Dark Souls has nothing on you.

Also in ADOM, probably my most memorable death was from breaking my leg kicking the air. In my defense, I was just doing it to see if I could.

Ow yeah ADOM is much more punishing than Nethack too.

I was just the victim of an extremely nasty RNG on the Nethack game. I wasn't even near the Kobold. All I did was step East and I lined up with the Kobold which just so happened to have a wand. It wasn't pretty.

 

[mitchell271]

I don't know how many times I've been killed by Goombas...

 

[VoidWanderer]

So, apparently, in Borderlands 2 when you are following the C3-PO's retarded dwarf cousin around, the torch by his place will kill you. By jumping on it.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Supreme Commander. A single enemy unarmed scout plane flew over my base after I had fought off a rather strong attack of theirs. Shot it down instantly, and its wreckage careened into my ACU, which proceeded to explode with a rather untimely nuclear tendency.

 

[Friendly Lich]

For some reason in Guild Wars deer are surprisingly powerful.

 

[dvd_72]

Not quite happene to me, or even in my game, but in Dwarf Fortress a normal duck gained a title for killing two "clowns". I'd say that's pretty embarrassing for them
