Here's a list...

Cazadors, because Deathclaws can't dodge.

Those sword wielding ninjas in bloodrayne 2, because they are so damn nimble.

Endregas, especially Queen Endregas in Witcher 2, because they are fast and they can block.

Every flying enemy in any game, because they can dodge...

You might be seeing a pattern here.

Between this and the patch of doom that screwed up my Empire: Total War game right as I was finishing it - going from +75k gold a turn, to -250k due to a change in how tradeships work. I don't play total war games anymore.

How did that happen? The Mongols never penetrated that far in my playthrough as England.

I'm pretty sure that's near where they enter from.

In the case of the Mongols, it's is 1 of 3 different areas they can enter from. Plus the computer players can be wildly unpredictable, such as Scotland over throwing England in one play through.

Man, I was hoping the Mongols and Timurid would kill each other, they are at war after all. But now the Timurid are at war with Hungary (who are also very powerful) but haven't claimed a city as a capital. This makes me feel they're making a warpath to get to me. I'm scared.

Ornstein and Smough.
Mostly Super Smough. I cant defeat him in new Game+ I need to get past him.

Really? Super Smough has the same moveset as normal Smough, he just has lightning now. He's pretty slow and easy to dodge/block.

Anyway:

Number one at the moment is Deathclaws from Fallout. It really bothers me that I can be wearing full power armor (fully repaired, mind you) and still die in one hit to those bastards.

Which Fallout?

Probably Fallout 3 or New Vegas, considering how the older games did not have a repair mechanic.

KI-17s in War thunder. Why does a rank 2 fighter have a 50mm cannon in the nose. It defies all logic.

From which game? I heard the K. Rool fights in DKC2 and 3 were pretty easy.

And you gotta admit, they have some pretty awesome boss music.

No its, not the biplanes. Its the single engine bombers. Annoying as, but with a cannon. Thank goodness I'm getting the 155mm cannon armed US plane.

Oh, now I'm all confused. Too google!

number 1 was hardest number 2 was pretty tough with those damn cannon balls and ballons

Engineer players from Battlefield. Never has a class been so exquisitely designed for griefing. I almost always die by engineer.

Most of the *humans* from the Dead Rising Series. The convicts in the jeep made me simply quit the first game and trade it in when I read that they simply return every night for the whole game. I realized my time was worth more than the experience of playing the game.

I played Dead Rising 2 only because it was free on Xbox live gold one month and although it was a lot better - the end boss was simply infuriating and once again I realized - nope I have better things to spend my time on.

The problem is that they break the rules of the game - so it turns them from being a very challenging opponent to being a punishing experience. Throughout the game you have guns and melee weapons and you collect the best ones and learn to be an absolute killer with them - and then you reach the final boss and find out that guns AND melee weapons simply do not work on him... at all... you're *supposed* to fight him bare fisted. Any attempt to use the skills you've learned and used all game are instantly punished - your weapons are taken away from you and/or you're slammed through the floor and have to fight your way back up through a horde of zombies again to try again.

Had a similar experience with DR1, the mini-bosses just pissed me off. Especially not knowing that you trigger them if you wander into their spawn area at whatever section of the game you're playing. Happened with the guy in the hardware store my first (and only) play through, frustrated me beyond belief.

As for the OP, I was playing through Skyrim again recently and I've discovered two things:

1 - Dragons aren't cool, they're annoying as balls.

2 - High level warriors that disarm you. I'm a level 30 bowssassin, killed hundreds of nasties, but this one guy hits me with a dagger and I throw my bow off a cliff. INFURIATING. Couple that with the disarm shout that the Druagr use all the time, jesus christ, I lost a dual enchanted daedric bow because the donkey-cave disarmed me and then FusRoDah'd the area we were standing in, bow rocketed off into the stratosphere.

The first thing I did was get the zombie genocider perk - makes a Megaman Blaster spawn in the saferoom. Boss fights were sheer lulz after that.

They got nerfed recently though.

Did they? Haven't fought them since the recent big patch.

Yeah they're a lot dumber now, and their attacks take less stamina when blocked.

Yeah, it would be New Vegas. I actually just finished the original game too, and I could actually go toe-to-toe with Deathclaws with power armor and a power fist without too much trouble in that game. New Vegas, though? Hell no, it's me and Boone taking those things on with anti-materiel rifles from extreme range.

I had to re-start an entire character because those disarm shout Draugr donkey-caves cost me Dawnbreaker (don't go Draugr hunting without it!)... The only solution I've come across is to use Bound Weapon spells, since those can't be taken away from you. True, you never get to play with the uber-broken daedric weapons if you do that, but not having to hunt for a sword in a dark crypt after some loud-mouthed undead jackhole yells it out of your hands is worth the disappointment.

Many of the bosses in Ninja Gaiden were insane. That big pink flying female demon think was pretty bad, especially as when you killed here she then came back as a weird centipede think straight away and fought another boss fight. And don't even get me started on the final chain of boss fights at the end of the game. Ridiculously hard. Felt amazing once you did it though.

Also, I hated playing the original Doom when I was kid. Insanely low res, pixelated monsters still scare the crap out of me

Now that's a "NOPE" moment.

With the release of Crown of the Sunken King for Dark Souls 2, I would like to submit a new most aggravating enemy



Feth Jester Thomas. Apparently all the times we killed Mytha together mean nothing now.

I don't play DS2, but I have seen Helloween's let's play where he meets Jester Thomas.

He's... ridiculous to say the least. A true God of Grief that feeds on your tears. Infinite pyromancy FTW (but it's fantastic how it's the only NPC that actually uses emotes.)

Hahah, my boyfriend and I while playing fought him yesterday, me using a cleric and him a sorcerer type character. By the time we got to him my +10 Lightning Mace was a moment from breaking, meaning I had to use a worse +10 Bandit Axe, and foolishly I forgot to switch from Havel's tower shield to my Gyrm Greatshield. I got chipped to death and he ended up just running away until the timer ran out for Thomas' invasion.
