Now, what is the difference between hard and annoying. Hard is a challenge that makes you test your abilities, giving you a very difficult enemy. Annoying is when an enemy spams attacks, won't die, or is just plane broken. So, today, I will be talking about the enemies in video games that just irritate me the most. First, the rules. Only one game per franchise, and only games that I have played. So, now that that is out of the way, lets begin.
#15: Zubat from Pokemon - Now, sure, these things are really easy to beat, especially when your Pokemon are at a high level, but, what isn't great is that THEY ARE FUCKING EVERYWHERE IN CAVES! I'm not kidding, no matter what you do, you will always get dragged into a random encounter with these things in caves, and be forced to run or fight. That's what makes them so annoying. However, they are lower on this list, because, as long as you have enough Repel, you won't have to worry about these guys.
#14: Iron Knuckle from Legend of Zelda - Now, the Iron Knuckles are a special kind of annoying, as they have appeared in different Zelda games. In Zelda 2, the Blue Iron Knuckles would always have there shield up, and would only let their guard down when they throw their weapon at you, giving you little time do deal any damage. The Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask Iron Knuckles are pretty slow, but, when they hit you, they take away four hearts. The Wind Waker Iron Knuckles aren't too bad, but when you have to fight more then one, which, you will sometime in the game, it gets pretty hard to focus on one. But, the Twilight Princess ones are a real pain, as they have strong armor, and when you finally break it, they will fight even more aggressively. At least they are so few in the game. That much I can say.
#13: Balverines from Fable - Now, I do like the backstory of Balverines, as they are based off of Werewolves, and I do kinda like Werewolves.... what I don't like is HAVING TO FIGHT A WHOLE GROUP OF THESE FUCKERS! No matter how hard you try, you will never get to fight one of these alone, unless the story says so. They have lightning fast attacks and they never give you time to attack. These were the things that actually killed me on my first try. But, they are lower, because, once you fight them enough times, you get their attack pattern down pretty well.
#12: Special Forces from Dead Rising - Now, for those who have played Dead Rising and got the true ending will know that OVERTIME MODE IS FUCKING HARD! Mainly because of the Special Forces walking everywhere. They have a wide range to attack you with, they can gang attack you and kill you in seconds, and when they do kill you, they will take you to a helicopter, and you'll have to escape, but, they will take all your weapons and your... clothes? Weapons, understandable, but clothes? What kind of military takes their captives clothes? Oh well, the reason their this low is because, as long as you have really powerful weapons, like the small chainsaws or even the Mega Buster, you can kill them in one hit.
#11: Slick from Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Now, this is a game I don't talk much about, so, allow me to sum up this game quickly... I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME! What I don't love are THESE FUCKERS! Slick is a robot that spits oil at you, making your movement extremely slippery. They ALWAYS appear on platforms, making it really difficult to move around. Also, you can't hit him as Spongebob or Patrick, because of his Oil bubble, WHICH REGENERATES TO QUICKLY! WHY PUT THESE ASSHOLES IN A GOOD GAME!
#10: Iron Maiden from Resident Evil 4 - Now, what are the two things Iron Maidens are known for? First. They are the most horrifying enemy in the game. Second. THEY DON'T FUCKING DIE! I'm not kidding, you could shoot them forever and ever, and they won't die. Well, okay, they will eventually die, but it takes so much ammo to kill it. The only way to kill them quickly is with an inferred sniper rifle, and you need to hit three specific parts on its body. But, even that is a little difficult. Oh, and there is a chapter where all the enemies are Iron Maidens... Isn't that fucking great.
#9: Poison Headcrab Zombies from Half-Life 2 - Now, the Headcrab Zombies are... kinda dumb. I mean, they just walk slowly, and even hitting them with the crowbar is no challenge at all. But, what the true pain here is the Poison Headcrab Zombie. These guys just walk around the place, just waiting for you to come. When you do, it will toss a Poison Headcrab at you, draining all of your life down to just one. FUCKING ONE! That's how much it hurts to get killed by these guys. Also, unlike the other Headcrab Zombies, they have so much health. Your best bet is to use the Gravity Gun to pick up explosive barrels and launch it at them. Just try not to get seen in the process.
#8: Falcons from Ninja Gaiden - As if Ninja Gaiden wasn't hard enough as it was, These fuckers just come right out of nowhere and kick your ass. They always swoop down at lightning speed and will knock you back in an annoying as hell way. You NEED perfect timing to kill them. But, that doesn't seem to work, since, whenever you kill them, THEY RESPAWN INSTANTLY! You never have any time to move, because, if they hit you while you're jumping, you'll fall off a pit and die. WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS TO PUT THEM IN AN ALREADY HARD GAME!
#7: Hammer Brothers from Super Mario Bros. - Now, we every NES owner remembers THESE FUCKERS! These guys will always throw their hammers in an unknown pattern, so easily beating them is never an option. Not to mention, there's two of them, and they have an unlimited amount of hammers, so they are ALWAYS throwing them. I assure you, these fuckers always brought me to the game over screen. They are just so unpredictable, you will die from them at least once.
#6: Medusa Heads from Castlevania - Of course these assholes would have to come onto this list sooner or later. The Medusa Heads have always annoyed Castlevania players. They fly around in a messed up pattern, and they always find a way to hit you. What's even worse is that, if you are not careful, you will get knocked back and fall off a pit and die. What's even WORSE is that you will have to fight a powerful enemy while avoiding the Medusa Heads, and trying to dodge them is hard, because your trying to fight the enemy. They just make the game that more hard.
#5: Berserkers from Gears of War - I'm gonna be honest..... I am not a big fan of Gears of War. Now, here me out. The reasons I can't really care much for it is that most of the characters are just act like a bunch of barbarians that have a deep voice like their choking on their own saliva, the ending was really disappointing, and THESE FUCKING THINGS! Berserkers are so tough, that they kill you in just one hit. And, if they kill your teammates, you still lose. The only way to kill them is with the Hammer of Dawn, but, you can't use it inside buildings, and, since every Berserker I met was inside a building, I had to lead it outside to kill it. Who thought it would be a good idea to not use the Hammer inside a building. Thank god they were taken out of Gears of War 2. I mean, JESUS CHRIST!
#4: Marlboro from Final Fantasy - No, I am not talking about the cigarette brand. I am talking about these fucking abominations. These things are pretty much what you'd get if you cross breeded the Kraken with the Pokemon, Trubbish. In other words, this thing is a trash can with tentacles. But, the design isn't even the worst part. What is really bad is it's main move, Bad Breathe, which effects you and all your teammates with... EVERYTHING! Confusion, Sleep, Poison. This Motherfucker has it all. And if that wasn't bad enough, it has so much health. And the developers just FUCKING love it so much, they decided to put it IN EVERY FINAL FANTASY GAME.... WHY!?
#3: Devil from Ghosts and Goblins - Oh, shit. You thought Ninja Gaiden was bad with the Falcons, or Castlevania with the Medusa Heads. Well, there is one more. It's the motherfucking Devil's from Ghost and Goblins. No matter what you do, this guy will always come at you. He always swoops down toward you and tries to hit you. At least in Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania, you had a health bar. In Ghosts and Goblins, you only have TWO CHANCES! Fuck up twice, and your dead. And this fucker is pretty much the bastard responsible for those game overs. That's fucking bullshit, if you ask me
#2: Cliffracers from Elder Scrolls: Morrowind - Oh... My... Fucking... GOD! These fucking things are just so annoying. The Cliffracers are literally everywhere in the game, so no matter where you go, these things are there. Not to mention, you can't run away, as they will chase you forever, and ever. That is no lie. And if that wasn't bad enough, THEY CAN GANG UP ON YOU LIKE CRAZY! I'm not kidding, they will literally spawn a storm of themselves and come after you to kill you. Oh, and don't think leveling up will do you any good, because, when you do, the Cliffracers level up to, so they get stronger and stronger. In other words, no matter what you do, you're fucked... But, what could be worse.
#1: Metroids from Metroid - I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE THE FUCKING METROIDS! They are almost everywhere in the game, they can drain you of your life in literally seconds, they have so much fucking health, and they can grow into even more powerful creatures. I swear, there is no easy way to kill them. If you try, you will either run out of ammo for your more powerful weapons, or die trying... And, its most likely going to be the latter. Oh, but that's not all. In Metroid Prime, there is this new version of Metroid called the Fission Metroid, that is just as powerful as a normal Metroid. But, when you kill it, it splits in half, MAKING MORE! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF FUCKING BULLSHIT IS THAT!? You can't kill them, you can't outrun them, you can't even survive long enough to escape, they attack in numbers, and have multiple forms. That is what makes the Metroids the most annoying enemies in video games
So, there's my list. Did you like it? Tell me below. With that, I will see you all next time.
