"Oh man, I totally hate those guys!"

Jumping geth, and Armatures (when on foot) in Mass Effect. On harder difficulties the stupid jumping frog things are impossible to hit and snipe you to the face with their lasers. The one battle with both (right before entering the mine to find Liara) was my worst nightmare and i was stuck for days.
Those dodgamn, fothermucking, bon of a sitch muddy hands and bloody hands out of Dragon Quest VIII. They were easy to kill in small groups, but every once in a while the game would hurl eight or nine at you at once and start doing nothing but respawning them on a continual basis. About the time I hit "Bloody Hand ZZ calls for reinforcements", I realized I really hated them.
Oh, and those fat bat things, too. Those were irritating. They were also easy to defeat, but one of their attacks is raping your face with their ass.
And the last one on that game, even though it's not an enemy per se, that depressed king with the dead wife you had to traipse halfway to Hell and back to get a moonharp for. That was obnoxious enough (there's nothing like an overly involved mindless fetch quest so you can end up doing pretty much exactly what your character was doing in the first place), but then you hit that moment several hours later in the game where you need an even better moonharp.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THE KING WITH THE DEAD WIFE HAS ONE?! If I ever get my hands on the person who wrote this, I'm going to hog-tie them to a sawhorse! Then I'm going to get a cat tweaked on meth, and take a big funnel and a barrel of axle grease and..."

I just posted in another thread about how I canNOT deal with zombies in FPS, especially the the HL2 fast zombies. And those freaking poisonous head-crabs! Hate'em! They screech and move too fast and die too slow and soak up too much ammo.
Those hand demon things from most Zelda game piss me off. Sure they miss if you keep running but stay still for 1 second and then you need to do the whole damn temple again.
Veteran took me 5 days... 2 of those days was used to finish 'Mile High Club'... And I have a friend who bitched incessantly about 'No Fighting In The War Room'.Sib said:
As for me, zombies. I hate zombies. I hate horror in general, but game developers seem to like zombies for some reason... I want to kill the person who gave them this idea.
HL2 is one of the more recent examples of "let's put in alot of enemies that aren't hard but more extremely annoying", as mentioned already:
-Fast zombies = pain in the ass, pretty lame design imo as well. Zombies should always be slow, personal preference. Not to mention the pesky fast headcrabs that strafe your shotgun every time you kill the zombie.
-Poison zombies = how many grenades can a guy take? Slow headcrabs that fall off constantly? Where is my fire weapon valve?
-Manhacks = again not hard to beat, just annoying as hell. Thankgod for the gravitygunslam.
HL1
-Houndeyes = extremely cute when you meet one, but if you run into a pack the sound alone makes you want to kill yourself. Shotgun advised.
-Baby headcrabs = pesky white buggers, they come from a large testikellike sack from mama headcrab and are hard to kill cause they're so fast.
Hl1:OF
-The one eyed enemies with the electrobeegun. They would always hit you 100% because of the incredibly accurate gun, making them a primary target if you ever saw one. Killed me a few times as well when on low health and in bad save spot.
Diablo2
-The creeps/minibosses that shoot lightning from their bodies when you hit them. Especially annoying on hell level where you find a miniboss with this around every corner. One little ball actually contains about 5,6 balls damagewise at least and it hurts like hell. Not to mention if the minions around them just happen to be resistant to your favourite spell.
-The little ratguys that have insane running speed and hit you 10 times asap usually with stun as well when they are near. Little bastards actually killed me a few times ( playing as a caster )
WIIIFrozen Throne
-Blademaster, seriously everybody always picks the fricking imba blademaster. The same applies for ( otherwise fun ) custom maps. The son of a ***** just keeps running away with windwalk every time you manage to actually hit the actual blademaster to low health, with insane fighting speed @ custom maps this makes him extremely annoying to play against.
-Demonmaster, the elf one. Not sure if the name's correct, but you know the one with the manaburn and high rate of attack. Same as blademaster, if unchanged in custom imba as hell.
C&C
-How many hits can a damn gdi mammoth tank take!!!!
C&C tiberian sun
-The hedgehog creeps that spit balls ( or something ) at you, doing insane damage to infantry and light/medium vehicles. What the hell?
-Floaters, not that hard damagewise but just annoying with the constant buzzing sound.
-Visceroid, impossible to kill whilst in a tiberian field and it does insane amounts of damage to anything light to medium armorwise. Especially annoying when one refuses to exit said tiberian field and continues to harass your harvester for ages.
edit: forgot some
FarCry
-The monkeys, just annoying. Not to mention the idiotic "let's throw you out of a chopper with 6 bullets in the middle of monkeyland" section levelwise.
Mortyr
-the mech things in the future section
Dead rising
-Just about any zombie at night is extremely hard to kill imo. B
-Carlito, most hated person here I think. No man can fire a damn 50cal sniperrifle whilst standing!!!!
Kameo
-The guys that hide beneath koopalike shells.

I must be a flaming wuss because I couldn't finish the whole game on Hardened. Of course, this was only because I could not survive the last stand at chernobyl, and had to do that single bit on Normal. I can understand your pain on Mile High Club. Relative to my skill level that section was still a *****. War Room wasn't so bad though.stompy said:
Yep eternal darkness is a pain... A horiffying one but It's an amazing gameLukeje said:Oh, those goddamn Eternal Darkness zombies... threw down the game in frustration after I realised that I'd accidntally gone down the hardest path, where you have to fight against the REGENERATING (red) ones... still haven't bothered going back to it...Kaos Incarnate said:Nope, I hope they didn't attack the way these redead did.Predictable-joke said:Have you ever played eternal darkness? The zombies there were incredibly annoying. They'd drain your sanity and well... Scare you shitless.Kaos Incarnate said:
They were very annoying as Young Link, it was instant death when I first faced them. No other redead can compare to these.
barnacles are waist of time, and headcrabs in general are a waist of ammo and I don't like those leeches at all.
and i hate those pig things in jabba's palace from lego star wars 2.
those robots in Metal Arms Glitch in the system that you had to kill 3 times
anyone in tanks in battelfield 1942
aimbot, aimbot, aimbot with a passion

...how on earth did you manage to get killed by poison headcrabs?ShadeOfRed said:
In other news: The plastered splicers from Sander Cohen's area of BioShock. Those things were creepy enough when they WEREN'T moving around.
The mannequin crazies in Condemed: Criminal Origins.
I saw them coming from a mile away, cause...I mean, come on: Creepy game, have a level in a department store filled with mannequins...dude. How could I have not seen it coming?
But...I didn't expect them to be so quiet and wait till your back was turned to start moving around...
After that, I just tasered every fucking mannequin in the store. Then I beat the ones that screamed.
Another enemy: Crysillids from X-Com...they're like zombies combined with xenomorphs. Plus, they have a nasty habit of surviving plasma shots to the chest, falling over unconscious, then getting back up in a few turns. Gah!
I would blow up entire buildings rather than sending in people after those damn things.
Cyborg Midwives. Just HEARING those things would have me wet my pants.
Invisible mutants from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Nothing worse than seeing two of those red eyes, opening up with your gun, then having your gun jam on you. Blargh.
Howlers, fangers...pretty much any of the vampire enemies in "The Witcher" because they have the nasty habbit of stunning you, then getting you ripped to shreads by the other baddies.
And, last, but not least: Strigas. Spending a night with the princess, sounds fun. Not when she tries to kill you the whole time...that battle was thematically awesome, but it amounted to lots of rather dull running around in circles.
