Post an enemy that made you reach for the quicksave button

[VulgarDisplay]

This guy was ridiculous. Optional Witcher 2 boss. Anyone else find him?

 

[Destiny]

I still cannot kill that guy!! I still have the file saved before his fight to keep trying...

This guy should have inspired the most dread of all, but ended up being the easiest boss fight ever. It cemented my hate for computer-aided instructions. Do we really need to be told over and over and over and over and over and over again what to do?

I hope the graphic artists that came up with this kicked the sit out of the programmers who laid the ultimate turd.

Big Daddys fucked my shit up.

yup

Yeah the Reaper-Human Larva was way easier to beat than it should have been. But as indicated above, the Mass Effect series had plenty of formidable enemies.

Gaping Dragon.

Worst part is Dark Souls doesn't have a quicksave.

Holy Christ that's a lot of teeth!

And may the gods have mercy on your soul if a giant one sneaks up on you in Honest Hearts

 

[Borealis7]

BG2: Kangaxx the lich! (sorry no pic of him...)

 

[AdamantC]

How could I forget Pain Elementals?

 

[Jodell88]

Holy Christ that's a lot of teeth!

I found the Gaping Dragon to be all bark and no bite.

<Cazadores>

<Mind Flayer>

Both of these, especially the Mind Flayer when playing with my lead 3 intelligence barbarian.

No one busted me for posting a game that doesn't have a quicksave button?

Not sure which game you're talking about, but I'll bust this guy:

EDIT: Oh wait, Tomb Raider, right?

This thing, I didnt know it wouldnt get up
<Far Cry trigen>

Unless there's some patch for the wimps that couldn't beat the game with just game-determined saves. :awe:

STALKER Controllers (mainly the Agroprom one)

 

[AdamantC]

Ye gads, Controllers. *shudders*

Also this little bastard.

I was just about to post this.

Dangerous enemy because of his actual abilities, not because of some retarded level of health or armor.

I find the latter approach to hard enemies in video games a lazy way of creating artificial difficulty.

I am much more interested in enemies that have well-scripted behaviors than those can just absorb a bunch of damage.

 

[BoberFett]

Any door in Fallout 3. That's the worst enemy I've ever fought. Numerous hours of gameplay lost.

The first time you run into one it's also a very devious level design, putting one in a narrow hallway near the underground exit. Controllers aren't as intimidating in open areas where they can miss. I didn't see him the first time I played and got really disoriented while low on ammo. Unnerved me enough that I didn't play the game for months.

Deathclaw

This thing, I didnt know it wouldnt get up

Hell yeah to the Deathclaw. Clearing the work site was "Fun".
The Deathclaw Matriach was the most I have shat myself for incoming damage.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I can't believe nobody commented on my post about the operator from witcher 2. That was a ridiculous boss fight. You basically have to glitch to beat him.

Hide in corners of the arena where he ignores you and regen health.

I think I just nuked the nest from one of the hills. Fuck those Cazadores. I'd rather face multiple Deathstalkers than those annoying insects.

 

[Childs]

I quicksave even when I am just picking up items, but it all stems from losing stuff in Wolf 3D.

It wonder if Wolfenstein is worse than Beth games. I think I developed a habit of saving every 10 minutes because of FO:NV.

Holy flack those wasps gave me nightmares I used to long range them as well. Man good times.

I opted to reallocate my stats so I didn't have to fight him. Needed it a lot more than the stuff he drops.

And yes, Cazadores royally suck.
