Do Auto-snipers in Counterstrike count?

Every boss in every shooting game at the arcades.

Time Crisis and House of the Dead were both annoying, I used to pump a fortune into them and I got extremely skilled at the former, but both would see me waltz through the level and then have to pump cash in at the inevitable bosses.

Especially HOTD, it was basically too easy all the way through, and then next to impossible to emerge unscathed at every end of level boss.

To be fair, those were arcade games.
They were designed to make you spend as much money as possible.

Bosses in time crisis were easy, you just had to learn the patterns. The bosses in the game Heavy Gear, were annoying though, as they'd increase fire rates and do stuff like that unexpectedly.

Also.

Other human survivors in Dayz standalone.

In Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Chortle) the pirate enemies. Not because they were difficult, but because of the pitiful "ARR!" they'd make when you knocked them over. I just felt sorry for them.

The Acolytes in X-Men Legends would cry out "I've failed Magneto!" when defeated, in this voice that just sounded so....pitiful. Like this was their one big chance to shine and make something of themselves in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and I'd cruelly robbed it from them.

The first time running into the Stalkers in Dead Space 2. Having never dealt with a necromorph that actively hunted me in a pack, I was slowly lining up a shot with one that was poking its head around a corner when, accompanied with a musical stinger, another Stalker slammed into my back, taking off half my health before running away. It was the first time I had ever actually physically yelled during a Dead Space game.

The minelayer quickly became one of my favourite weapons because of those guys. It never got old seeing one of them skidding round a corner and promptly blowing up.

For most heartbreaking, the final boss of Persona 3. It was a pretty good and challenging fight, and it takes around half an hour. Near the end, it uses a desperation attack that causes heavy damage and inflicts random statuses on your party, including Charm, where your ally will start attacking their allies or casting beneficial spells on the enemy. Now, I had Yukari and Mitsuru with me, both with the "regain all your HP" spell. Can you see where this is going? I think when the boss's health bar shot several thousand points back up to maximum, I just stared at the screen for five minutes, and then turned the console off.

Also, I'm playing League of Legends at the moment, and I'm developing a deep and abiding hatred of Blitzcrank and that ****ing rocket grab.

You'll learn to hate Nidalee soon enough as well.

I Hate the lost sinner, SO MANY GAP CLOSERS!!!!!!

Half-Life 2
the very first time I went through Ravenholm, I thought, "Okay. standard zombie-ish gameplay. This should be fine."
Then I heard the howling. Then I saw the runners.
Hoe. Lee. $#@!.

Borderlands 2
Everytime I go through the Fridge, I see nothing but Rats. I fething HATE those rats.

You woulda loved Artorius then, because he's got mostly the same skillset, dialed to 9, and the Aggressive Meter has been set to "Hates your damn guts."

DoW2 bosses. They're annoyingly powerful; the GUO from Chaos Rising is stupidly strong and I guess I get that, but a Farseer? Are you crazy?

Of course, once I played through Chaos Rising in an effort to get the best gear I could, the GUO was a joke.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever died to Lost Sinner because he's simply Artorias light. Doesn't even have a triple flip.

The Avatar from the DoWII campaign was awesome.

So damn scary.

The Farseer is obviously strong because she can see all your bullets in advance, and thus sidesteps.

guess that is good, because I always play slow moving, heavy hitters.

Really? I found the bosses to far to easy, now this may be due to me maxing out my strike team quite early on. And that I had insane amounts of luck when it came to the tings I found

Meh the Avatar was decent, but only challenging on the really high difficulties, but the figth itself was awesome

Flying enemies that come in flocks in first person games. I just can't deal with em. Cliff racers in Morrowind, rakks in Borderlands... They just drive me crazy. Why you gotta fly at me?

Of course he was easy if you powergamed and used your utmost to abuse that which is overpowered (Such as blowing away 40% of his health with an orbital bombardment), but the first playthrough he was really tough even on Sergeant. No, I didn't wipe, but he was tough anyway.

SMGs+ finding their dive pattern= dead rakks. Preferably Maliwan fire SMGs.

Very true, and very satisfying. Going to have to use SMGs more often. I tend to mainly use pistols and shotguns, that's probably part of the problem.

That and being a terrible shot.

Basilisks in the first Baldur's Gate. You had five seconds to get the hell out of dodge before they turned someone to stone, usually the front-liner.

Indeed I found his escorts to provide much more headaches

Agreed, those things where absolutely nigthmarish. Those and Wigths
