Re: Most Annoying Video Game Enemies

Every creature in SH4, Nemesis in RE3, Colossus #9 in SotC... on second thought I'll just write out a list.

I win.

Sorry, but nothing beats medusa head.

Re: Most Annoying Video Game Enemies

The Pendulums in SH3 are incredibly annoying just because of that stupid noise they make.

They were on my old "most annoying SH enemies" doodle. I picked one from each game. I didn't want to honor them that much, so I drew this in under a minute.

Re: Most Annoying Video Game Enemies

The Golden Medusa heads had jsut as much potential to be annoying in the non-linear CVs than their blue and green counterparts. It's definately not fun getting petrified and the being thrust motionless into spikes that deal increased damage to what is already a high one.

Re: Most Annoying Video Game Enemies

I would agree with you here but they were actually stupidly easy to avoid. All you had to do was run in zigzags and it was impossible for them to hit you (eventually they'd fly away if you ran far enough).

I think the lizards in the sewers, who only appeared in the one spot, were more annoying.

I question some of the choices, but Zubat is dead on. Useless to have in your party, but a real bastard to fight all the time.

I might add Celia and Lede from FFT; the taunt me with their nice stealable equipment and the Ultima spell, but to try for these things one must brave just about the most lopsided skill set imaginable in a SRPG. They do everything, they do it well, and they do it fast.

Ugh, were these the cute pixelated ninjas with the unavoidable super h4x instant death skill? I had to beat them with a ranged party and abusing the dragoons jump, summons, and everyone had a gun equipped but they still moved like... 5 square farther than you did and their CT was insane.

War of the Lions actually reverted the skillset to the original Japanese version where everything was 20-40% more expensive.

Yeah, but even if you spend the entire game dodging them, they're still annoying. They even make an irritating noise. And if you do actually fight them, it's very frustrating.

I know that you can pretty much avoid most of the enemies in the game, either by running and/or turning off your light at the right times, but sometimes I like to kill those jerks. I'm not attempting any speedruns or ten star rankings. I'll leave that to the uber-nerds.

Cliff Racers are the most irritating enemy in any video game. They are all over the damn continent and you run into them every 30 seconds. They only take a few hits to kill, but you fight droves of them and they dodge half your attacks, even though they are the size of a small car!

i drank that challenge and it took a lot of energy. stole it all, stole everything at every opportunity. what a hell of a show. against everything, even as outrageous as their ninjas skills are, its keeping that stupid weak idiot chick alive through it all that puts the challenge to stealing their stuff. i guess phoenix downing her is just not good enough for this game. it wouldnt of been as bad if she didnt go out of her way to get herself killed.

fft has to be my second favorite game of all time.

Re: Most Annoying Video Game Enemies

I couldn't afford going easy on them and stealing their ****. They were butchering my guys left and right. A 100% instant kill attack isn't fair.

Quick question, I'm at the last dungeon now and I was wondering if it is too late to learn Ultima. Is Ramza the only one who can learn it? It can be annoying to completely depend on an enemy to use an attack on you to learn it. Even worse if the attack kills you so that you don't learn it.

Re: Most Annoying Video Game Enemies

you are at olbern (sp?) monastery? once you pass the point of no return then you can still learn it, but only at the final battle and on the first form. honestly, if you didnt get it in the opening fight from the chicks at elmadors, then its not worth getting. you dont really even need it.

you want to know whats hard? getting zodiac cast on you as a summoner and surviving it to beat the battle, that was a royal pain.


this was the first game i ever maxed out the time counter on, maxed out the chars, and got every possible item, including the legendary pain in the ass gold excusion.

To add to this, the developers (for whatever odd reason) gave them the longest aggro range in the game. Even with enemy spot AI turned all the way down, a cliff racer can see you THROUGH BUILDINGS and hundreds of feet away. One minute you're walking and minding your business, the next "battle music, FLAP FLAP FLAP, SQUAWK!!"

There was an awesome mod that restricted them to a certain number that never respawned and if you hunted them to extinction you got a cool prize. It was fun hunting down every last one of those ****ers.
