Poll: Preferred Enemies

[Mass B]

When you pick up a video game, what do you prefer to have on the OTHER end of your sword (or gunbarrel, chainsaw, staff. et cetera).

Edit: okay then, something got messed up, and the poll didn't show. basically I wanted to know if people usually played or liked to play games that pitted them against humans, aliens, robots, undead, or other.

You know polls usually have polls. A dead thing

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Enemies that provide me with enough of a challenge to make a fight worth it but not so hard that it's impossible.

Just to point out, I first thought that this thread was titles 'Preferred Enemas'. By was I disappointed...

But yeah, generally something nice and unique and fantastical, or something nice and squishy and its head blows off when I shoot it.

Elites. Brutes almost killed Halo for me.

Giant monsters that you can climb on, unfortunately the only game I can think of that had those was "Shadow of the Colossus". I wouldn't mind another game like that, even if the Colossie were the only enemies in the game.

 

[Dango]

I prefer something evil, something that absolutely deserves to die (why Darth Malak was a great villain).

As long that it's a weapon it's fun!

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

I like enemies who aren't too easy to kill, but I like them paired up with someone who also isn't too easy to kill. That's why I like Halo: You can get shot in the head with a lot of weapons and live to fight another Elite. That said, I like fighting Elites and Brutes. Never could tell the difference(except for berserking and shield recharge), but I liked how they were hard to kill unless you had the right weapons for the job.

Halo 2 or Halo 3? Or ODST? Because the Brutes weren't very fun in the former, but they're okay in the latter two, I thought.

On topic: A cunning, vicious, equal. That's all.

In Halo 3 and ODST. Halo 2 I didn't mind them because they were like an entirely different class than elites. (Plus you still fought elites most of the time, anyway.) It was when they tried to make brutes REPLACE elites that pissed me off. They just don't have the same... how do I put this... nobility the elites do. Elites and brutes are very much exactly represented by their names. The elites are noble, cunning, tactful, and complex creatures, whereas the brutes are just gorillas with guns.

 

[Averant]

Preferred enemies: None. A dead enemy is a good enemy...

Before the enemy dies, though, I prefer him to be very good at what he does. Give me a challenge.

First off this guy is cool, and while brutes didn't come close to killing Halo for me I certainly agree elites are more fun to kill.

Thank god I got to sideup with Hunters and Flood while killing those brutes.

Now my preferred enemy is an infected zombie, as long as it is FAST!
My least favorite enemy is a slow or classic zombie, they do no damage and move slow.

Come to think of it,i haven't fought WW2 American and British soldier yet...in FPS and TPS i mean.

Yeah, those last few missions as the Arbiter in Halo 2 where you got HUNTERS and grunts and jackals on your side... Those were awesome. Though for some reason they switched back to the other side for Halo 3?

 

[Dapper Ninja]

I like enemies that make me think that the design team put some thought and creativity into their jobs.

This raises a few questions.

 

[PauL o_O]

Things that are so large, you need to move back a couple hundred yards and look up all the way to see the top of

 

[Nouw]

Depends. In Horror Games (almost wrote Movies lol), enemies that are fast and require back-paddelling. AVP2 Fuck Yeah!
FPS? Enemies that can shoot the crap out of me but have a weaker melee.

Think Starcraft balancing.

 

[InnerRebellion]

Another intelligent human being....oh wait.

I dunno...Elite soldiers in RTS games. When led by a smart human.
