Finally started with Witcher 3's last expansion which is the awesome Blood and Wine. However, they introduce a new enemy in this and it absolutely makes my blood boil, lol.



It's these cursed flowers and the lore behind them is great, love it. Fighting them, I do not love. They are so annoying with their toxic spitting and the little flower things they grow on the ground that explode can kill Geralt insanely quickly. Fuck they are assholes. So, what are some truly terribly annoying enemies for you?

 

[Glass Prison]

Revenant from Elden Ring - Fuck these guys, I'm still not over how annoying they are.

 

[KàIRóS]

I don't remember their names but those enemies that could steal Link's shield in the Zelda games, annoying AF.

 

[IFireflyl]

 

[Guilty_AI]

 

[SoloCamo]

Cliff Racers from Morrowind...

 

[dave_d]

The medusa heads from Castlevania. Man, how many times did one of those knock me into a pit?

 

[Dazraell]

If you haven't experienced these fuckers, you don't know what an annoying enemy can be lol

 

[SoloCamo]

If you haven't experienced these fuckers, you don't know what an annoying enemy can be lol

Beat you by seconds but I couldn't agree more. The bane of that game but once you level up enough one hitting them is actually satisfying.

It’s always the first enemy you encounter in a From game. You know they are little useless scrubs, but because you’re level 1 you have to super cautious and they will kick your ass otherwise. Then you go back with good gear and obliterate them by farting and you just reminisce and laugh

yes, they are very annoying, even with some levels, they are still awfully cheap...

I don't remember their names but those enemies that could steal Link's shield in the Zelda games, annoying AF.

likelike?

 

[AJUMP23]

Birds

 

[ScHlAuChi]

Enemies with shields!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

These fuckers in Elden Ring comes to mind

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Revenant from Elden Ring - Fuck these guys, I'm still not over how annoying they are.

Eeeeeeyup.

Those things six-handedly made Elden Ring a game I’m possibly never going to replay.

[Roman Empire]

Blitz - Devil May Cry 4. It is tanky, strong, and has a mandatory rage state that is ASS and that is hard to skip on higher difficulties if you don't nuke it immediatly.

 

[lh032]

 

[GermanZepp]

All enemies on binding of isaak

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

NES games where the enemy was too low to the ground to hit with your default weapon, you just stand there like a dumbass firing over their head while they come and kill you.

E.g. this little fucker from the Mega Man games:

And these little worm shits from Blaster Master

 

[cireza]

Infinite helicopter-pattern attack enemies in Souls games. Abysmal design.

 

[MrRibeye]

This is the most hilarious video

Jonathan Blow creator of The Witness is being harassed b a threatening dwarf



Seriously I laughed out loud, Jonathan is walking through this cave and constantly out of nowhere there's this dwarf throwing knifes at him it's phenomenal

 

[Duchess]

I raise you a Pain Elemental (actually, two)

 

[winjer]

Revenant from Elden Ring - Fuck these guys, I'm still not over how annoying they are.

Those are really the worst. And that area has several of them.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Birds

They ruined so many of my runs in the first game…

 

[Shakka43]

These aholes, Horizon FW.

 

[TintoConCasera]

The Spawn from Quake.

They jump all around the place, plap you to death and explode when killed.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Despair demons dragon age inquisition

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Birds

I love how you’re a ninja dressed all in black, yet the whole game is you running around in the open in broad daylight killing birds and dogs and stuff.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Winter Lantern from Bloodborne, oh man.

 

[AJUMP23]

I love how you’re a ninja dressed all in black, yet the whole game is you running around in the open in broad daylight killing birds and dogs and stuff.

I love how you reduced people to "STUFF".

Psychopathy alert.

 

[Nankatsu]

Came here expecting Elden Ring posts, was not disappointed.

 

[Lorianus]

Not really enemies but bosses i guess:

The legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky - Leonhardt

The Legend of Heroes Trails to Azure - Arianrhod

They brought me great pain on nightmare difficulty.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Enigmas, Devil May Cry 3.

They are particularly annoying, because if you hate them like I do, you will go straight to them and stomp them out of anger, but they dash away when you try to attack them, and are somewhere else in no time.

They are well designed, don't get me wrong. Excellent enemy design, and they serve that purpose.

But I hate them.

Vampire Bats, Final Fantasy

In the 2D games, their Blood-whatever attack animation takes fucking forever, and it doesn't help that you fight multiple at once, and it also doesn't help that they spam that Blood-whatever over and over again.

And Robert, King of Fighters

I despise fighting him in the NeoGeo era games. Something about his CPU design...

 

[Little Chicken]

Bloodlickers from Bloodborne, I think I just gave up fighting them after a while.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Fucking Blight Town and these on your first play through:

 

[digdug2]

Murlocs from World of Warcraft.

 

[Chuck Berry]

The boogeymen in the original Toejam & Earl. Annoying, persistent and just one hit takes away a sizable chunk of health.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Your mom

 

[Boralf]

Fucking piece of shits they are.

 

[Ulysses 31]

 

[GymWolf]

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

[Magic Carpet]

Skaggs made me Frisbee my Borderlands 1 disk across the backyard.

His misery brings me such joy.

 

[crackajack]

Any game that fumbles their very basic attack modes, giving the player bow and arrow while the enemies want to do melee and waggle their heads and bodies while moving towards you. Make it a proper fair hack and slash game then, if you want to make aiming a pain in the ass but give me a crippled and almost useless melee move set. Horizon or also Rage just felt wrong too often. Where aiming is impossible on the pad, it would either require heavy auto aim assist or impossibly fast sensitivity to match the enemies lateral move speeds.

Also weird difficulty spikes. Especially when it's some small punk somewhere in between, maybe swarming you with 3 or more simultaneously and even boss battles being much easier. eg those dudes throwing bombs in Darksiders Genesis could kill quite fast and link hits annoyingly, where evade would just not work and you fly around the map with more than one hit and often over the cliff as well. At least falling is just another hit and not just immediate death there.

 

[Bond007]

I hate enemies with shields.
Shields i need to disarm before a they are vulnerable. Its just annoying at this point.

Im talking physical shields- like say in Spiderman. Not force fields or things of that nature.

 

[GymWolf]

These aholes, Horizon FW.

One Charged melee attack can ko them.

 

[intbal]

Fucking piece of shits they are.

Now imagine that they populate the entire world, follow you relentlessly, and attract more of their kind with each passing second.
