Most obnoxious enemies in video games.

[astrav1]

Any enemy that is swarming, or the kind of enemy that is very powerful and knocks your character down for a time, then when your character finally gets up the beast knocks him down again before he can get up. Rinse, repeat, die, rage.

 

[orangeapples]

anything from Action 52

seriously though

bats. Any and all incarnations of bats.

there is a TV Tropes page... they're that bad.

 

[IrateDonnie]

MothRakk from Borderlands was irritating for me.

 

[decaINNERdence]

Jockeys From the Left 4 Dead Series.
I can't seem to kill them for anything in the world, and it seems that when ever I hear one manically laughing in the distance and I proceed to announce that there is a jockey in the area it instantly locates me and proceeds to rape my face.

 

[Nannernade]

The Crossbow Borgia guards in AC Brotherhood, if you get spotted they fucking come over to you and dysyncronize your ass during a mission where you can't get caught. Now I understand that if a guard sees something should they investigate it of course they should but damn is it ever annoying... -.-

 

[enriel]

Fucking ghosts in Silent Hill 4. Hey, let's make an enemy that's invincible and can fly through walls! Awesome!

And Marlboros from most of the FF games. Only thing in those games that just scared me shitless.

 

[Vykrel]

Hermes in God of War 3 is absolutely the most obnoxious enemy ever

 

[Kilgengoor]

Fucking ghosts in Silent Hill 4.

Everything that has mutated from a human in every S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game ever made.

Cazadors (Fallout New Vegas).

That.

And I'd like to add Dr. Salvador (the RE4 chainsaw guy), motherfucking exploding slugs in the mandatory 'escort the vehicle' section in Vanquish (with a special mention to the malfunctioning, kamikaze, instakill robots, which can be ANY OF THEM), almost every boss fight in the original Dead Rising and of course, Krauser from RE4 too.

Aaah, Krauser. You love cutscenes, do you?

 

[LadyMint]

For me, it's a tie between Harpies or Venture Company mobs in World of Warcraft (Vanilla). The harpies have an annoying screech noise they make while they're attacking/being attacked. But what makes them both piss me off so much is how quick they are to flee and get help from nearby mobs. Damn little Venture bastards seemed to run at breakneck speeds sometimes.

 

[nerfando]

Last boss in Shinobi on the hardest difficulty. Oh and those dogs who have daggers in their mouths. FML THE RAGE.

 

[Cargin]

LOTR the 3rd age, the whole Helm's Deep level, where it just spams battles at u with no chance to save ur game in between. so frustrating to fend off countless waves of uruk-hai in one battle, only to be instantly forced into another as soon as its don, against trolls. grrr

 

[onewheeled]

I haven't really played much of the game, and have only faced something like 10 of them, but Snorks in STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.

They move around a lot, meaning headshots are really difficult. My knife seems to be imaginary when they're around, so I can't stab them even if they're clearly within range. And unless you're hitting their heads, they absorb an ungodly amount of ammo.

 

[northeast rower]

Cougars in Red Dead... oh lord, all the dead horses...

Those fucking bug things in Resident Evil 5.

Scions in Mass Effect 2. OH GOD DAMMIT I GOT SHOCKWAVE'D AGAIN. What a surprise.

 

[Samuel Adams]

1)Cougars in Red Dead:Redemption.
2)Zubat.
3)ANYTHING in Super Meat boy (I still love that game though)
and
4)Anyone in Farcry 2.

 

[Siege_TF]

Cliff Racers. Cliff Racers EVERYWHERE.
Necrons, both TT and RTS.
Children/teenagers who want to PVP in any game that has PVP.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Cazadors (Fallout New Vegas) For reasons everyone should know of by now.

I. Fucking. Hate. Cazadors. Their BS speed and attack power is made worse by the fact that my character is about as light as they come.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Super Mutants armed with Missle Launchers in Fallout 3.

Walking over a hill in the Wasteland, and the next second you've pissed yourself, lost a third of your health, and your left leg is crippled.

And those motherfuckers usually travel in groups, so you have a minigun or assualt rifle ripping you a new one while you chug the Stimpacks.

 

[Rusty Bucket]

Mutalisks from Starcraft. Fuck those guys.

So what do you hate more?

Mutalisk rush?
Zergling rush?
or Dark Templar rush?

Zergling rushes are fairly easy to deal with (I'm assuming you're meaning like a 6-8 pool here) once you know how, and I don't mind being DT rushed because they're so damn cool. But Mutalisks are like the definition of obnoxious. Want to push out? Now you have no workers. Build cannons on your worker line? Down go your Pylons. Put cannons everywhere? Now your army size is borked, and the Muta's have just moved to an expansion instead of your main.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Small things that swarm you. Specifically, those tiny things in Dead Space that come out of vents or toilets or whatever.

Small things that swarm you and then explode. Forget what they're called, but they're in Singularity.
