Killed by a Ridiculously Underpowered Enemy

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

Due to the lack of enemy footstep sounds in System Shock 2, those pipe-weilding Hybrids can totally screw you up if you don't notice them.
And under the rare circumstances they don't scream horrifying, cryptic messages at you.

Fitting that the first enemy you meet is also one of the most horrifying... and you keep meeting them pretty much throughout the entire Von Braun.

i was at the top of the leader board in killing floor with my sharp shooter, just one enemy left and what happens? i decided to take a gore fast 1v1 with my knife.

I don't know why I tried either.

Rookie mistake, you just hate to see it. Clots and the fat ones are the only things you can really take 1 on 1 with a knife.

OT: Fucking crawlers in KF. Most of the time I'm killed by other things, but I'm always at less than 3/4 health because of those fuckers.

Also, dogs in the Stalker games.

I would not feel any shame about losing to the Stalker dogs, they dodge gunfire and leap behind you LIKE A BAWS

This is tricky because a lot of games make weak enemies hard by sending hordes of them at you. A good example of this is that I often die in Killing Floor because of the clots (the lowest health/slowest moving attackers) because they can grab you and there are lots of them.

I am currently trying to beat New York Minute Hardcore on Max Payne 3 so my biggest thing is getting killed (sent in to last stand) by a single bad guy who I failed to finish off during an attack. Since it only takes a few bullets to put Max into last stand or die, I might clear a room of all the heavily armored bad guys in one awesome move but then miss a single guy with a shotgun who just kills me because I failed to see him.

Also, I die from Goomba's far to often than I should.

I saw a mudcrab the other day...

It fucking killed me!

Ya I was on Master difficulty for the first time, and yes Skyrim mudcrabs are actually kind of strong, but still. A fucking mudcrab killed me!

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

"Here lies Smash the level 9 Barbaian. Killed by a Newt (while helpless)."

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.

Did you know?

In ADOM you can gain str. by kicking stairways.
*poker face*

Also on the subject of Rougelikes I was playing TOME a while back and was killed by a wolf. Not just ANY wolf mind you, but the TUTORIAL wolf. Really...?
