What is it? I don't se anything in the picture.

it was supposed to be a pic of 30 chrysallids surround a sky ranger with the caption "EVERYONE BACK IN THE SKYRANGER, BRAZIL CAN GO FETH ITSELF" but that site won't let you link pics for some reason, so I linked a different one.

I couldn't make it work either, so I saved it and uploaded it to another site (spoilered for F-word):

Mace Windu on the Revenge of the Sith video game for GBA/DS. Damn him and his nearly unblockable attacks.

He was rough on the Xbox as well, he'd just throw you across a room, let you get up, and throw you across a room again. The hardest enemy on that game, though, I think was either Cin Dralig (The Jedi Temple guy) or Dooku, for being the first boss battle.

Oh god, Dooku. I think I only fought him once (I was using someone else's copy), and it took about 50 tries to beat him. Fun game, but can get pretty annoying at times.

This too. I'd usually kill one normally (FOR SCIENCE!) and fire rockets at any others that got close. (this was Enemy Unknown though)

the black knights in dark souls annoyed me. They hang out in low level areas and are thoroughly persistent and relentless as well as strong.

Yeah, Black Knights are annoying, but crumple in about 3 hits to anything with Lightning Damage. So if you have any pine resin left after beating the gargoyles, there are worse times to turn your weapon into a lightning sword that fighting a Black Knight.

Their toughness would be somewhat relieved if, when wounded, they stepped back and pronounced 'Tis but a scratch' and then came and attacked again.

it's funny because the silver knights are soft and crumple with a couple hits. I love the bereneke knights, but there's only 2, 3 if you kill gwynevere.

*ahem* I think you mean the Devourer of Souls? (That thing has a great voice, though. )

Yes, that one. Such an iconic line

"SUFFERING! ANGUISH! CHAOS! RISE AND FEED!"

Aaargh!

On DS, he does this thing where he just does a flurry of attacks you can block, then breaks your guard and hits again with a strike that oneshots you on the highest difficulty. So annoying.

I can top that. Tentaculats from XCOM 2. They do the whole "turn your dudes into zombies which turn into aliens when you kill them" thing the Chrysalids do... but with the added bonus of flight!

Well... swimming anyway. The effect is the same. They deepstrike onto your head from above and zombify you. Alien base attack missions were a fething nightmare because of these guys.

Anything on Dark Souls...

Y'all got jack compared to what you fight on there..

Creepers....
Need I say anymore more?

Eh, I've played harder games then Dark Souls. For what it's worth Dark Souls is a fair game (except for bed of chaos, but feth that boss) enemies I hate are usually the ones who are straight up unfair/cheating.

This fething bastard: Neo Khidr. I spent around 50 mns dying and retrying, dying and retrying, but I fething did it! It looks easy in the video, but DAMN, was it a challenge.

NVM, thinking another boss.

Poison Zombies are becoming incredibly obnoxious

Any Demons in Doom

For anyone who played Fallout 1, the most fiendish foe in all of videogamedom; Ian.

Ian is your faithful companion.

Ian likes to say he's good with SMGs.

Ian is actually a sadist.

Ian is most skilled at shooting you and dogmeat with his SMGs.

Ian isn't very good at shooting supermutants.

That fether killed me more than anything else in that game.

And this is why I never gave him anything bigger than a 10mm pistol.

Oh that brings back some very interesting memories of my first snakeman terror ship. I somehow managed to shoot it down. I was not expecting what transpired. To this day I am so glad I sent the tank in first. Then the lovely discovery that zombies are immune to stun so I couldn't beat them into submission and haul them back with me, then of course the final surprise to end them all after I spent all my TU gunning down the zombie.

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth that day (all preserved for posterity on my youtube channel! Yay shameless self promotion).

Give him a deagle at least.

Also, speaking of fallout 1. Gatling guns on super mutants, because somehow they always crit through my power armor.

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.

Couple more I thought about:

Half-Life 2: Ant lions. Should be called douchebag lions.

Skyrim: Dragons. They were cool initially, but after the tenth time of trying to fight several giants and their mammoths only to have one of these assclowns ice-breath me out of nowhere, it got old.

Dragons Dogma: Ogres. Jesus tap-dancing CHRIST. Unless you shank the things in the FACE with a flaming flamberge of infinite damage, they just ran around and raped your party. In the ear. With...things.

Good call on that one, they had a crazy amount of hitpoints and they put you at a disadvantage if you or your main follower was female, Ogres are apparently Homicidally Horny? I had a fairly fragile female healer as my main follower which Ogres just loved smashing into the dust, i would often have to take a few hits so i could revive her. I got lucky the first time i faced an Ogre, he was kicking my butt and then he ran off a cliff.

Those Asari Banshee things in Mass Effect 3 are mine, i just never figured out a quick way to deal with them i was probably missing something obvious but i couldn't defeat them without just bombarding them with my most powerful attacks and ammo. One of my biggest gaming shames is that i had to turn Mass Effect 3 down to the easiest difficulty (Which iirc was a special easy difficulty designed for non-gamers) in order to beat the last encounter. Even at the lowest difficulty it still took many attempts to beat that last battle which had several of them.

Scarab Beetles in Diablo 2.

Playing as a combat character in particular it was so annoying facing a group of these.

I recall the hunters in Half-Life being particularly obnoxious because of the ammo they soaked up.
I don't think I ever had an issue with ant lions...

In CoH/V, Malta Sappers. Nice END bar you have there, shame if anything happened to it...

Made the same mistake and got lucky the same way, he went bugshit during his low-life sprint around and charged off a spiral set of steps that were like a mile high.

Banshees were annoying, but on...brutal, or whatever the hardest setting was they were downright unfair. The only saving grace was you could hear them coming via that scream they had when they spawned/appeared. I generally go a high capacity rifle or special weapon and upgraded the damage to as high as I could get and get a Banshee in my sights and blaze away, I'd spam stuns and DoT special powers too, only way to beat most of the enemies on that difficulty.

Yeah, I played ME3 on Insane (the hardest). I played as a Sniper / Hacker (can't remember the class. Infiltrator, maybe) Banshees were probably the worst enemy because:
A: They had no weak spots. They had this shield, I swear it didn't matter if I headshotted them, the shield would never decrease more or less. We are talking about Black Widow Specter + First shot out of cloak (+XX% damage, I know it was gigantic) and the shield would just say "meh".
B: fething teleports. I carried a sniper and a SMG, so attempting to headshot teleporting foes was just a pain in the ass.
C: An attack that I thought was instant kill. When a banshee grabbed you I thought it was it, GG, reload. I didn't discover until near the end that we could escape their grasp -_-
D; Homing attacks. Seriously?! Things weren't bad enough, the bastards have attacks that follow you?!

I was dropping Brutes like a boss: They show up, I headshot, BAM, instant dead brute, my Sheppard was Death-incarnate in any battlefield but with banshes?! It always turned into a freakin' Benny Hill chase with me running away from banshees, unloading all my sniper shots and then emptying my SMG, with the Banshee after me, with Garrus and Tali after the Banshee,

I hate Poison Zombies.

And Headcrabs

And Striders

And Gunships
