And I'm his boyfriend.

Yeah, probably my third favorite one.

Being the top is a relationship is a lonely road.

But I've never minded playing the bad guy.

Been playing back through Dragon Age: Origins in a very sad attempt to satiate my need for DA:I and I remembered:

1 - Loghain. If you play anything other than a assassin with crazy poisons, he'll kick your ass. Pretty much one-shots any mage characters I make and warriors can't stand toe-to-toe with him.

2 - Elite spawns/sergeants/red barred donkey-caves with two-handed weapons. Unless you primary them and burn everything to kill them asap, they'll run around and 2-shot most of your party. I've found that when playing DA:O on the difficulty I currently am, I have to use crowd control in almost every fight.


On an unrelated DA:O note, I watched a friend play DS1, was going to buy it until I saw him play, now? Nope. I don't think I could stand the frustration.

I do remember Loghain being a pain, I was a dual wielding warrior. My answer was simply just chugging health and stamina potions until he died.

Never noticed two handed swords being a pain though. I had a hard time with pouncing enemies. My toughest non dragon fight was against, of all the enemies in the game, just simply the mabari kennels in Redcliffe castle.

Those Scorpion bastards in warframe. Soooo irritating to get knocked down in that game, never mind knocked down repeatedly as often happens in defense missions. Sure the Corpus are annoying (and no one seems to be built to deal with them...), but at least they don't chain-stun.

for the enemy that i fear fighting i would have to pick the royal lorduth from Monster Hunters 3 Ultimate, now bear in mind i'm not that far in the game so i'm sure that there

are far harder monsters to fight. but for where i am know he is a royal pain (sorry i couldn't resist). I have fought him several times but I need to get a monster bone L from

him to make a sword so i'll have to keep on fighting him until i get it. For the enemies that i hate to funny because they are annoying i would have to say all of the bosses in

batman arkham asylum, besides killer croc and scarecrow( both of which i enjoyed) all of the titan boss are just re-skinned bane fights. The only deference is that they are

in smaller rooms and more grunt enemies. Really lazy game design.

Iron demon in dark souls 2

Which one is the Iron Demon?

You mean the Old Iron King?

The shield d-bags from the Uncharted series. Feth those guys.

Super Nashwan in Speedball 2, drawing them in the cup early on. Ouch.

Stupid hosts when I'm farming Sunlight Medals on the Smelter Demon in Dark Souls 2.

"Hey he did his ground stab attack maybe this time he won't do the AOE I'll run up and-" NO!

You say NO! BAD HOST! DON'T DO THAT!

Not as bad as people who don't get how easy the pursuer is to beat. You strafe left, that is the trick to every move he has.

Fire Chains Vortex Frozen

Used to be Arcane, but I got a Countess amulet!

After trying to play *cough* struggle *cough* through the first Resident Evil game, I'd say just about anything ESPECIALLY the crows.

Those fething crows. Almost as bad as the hunters from RE2.

Don't know if you ever encountered a Vampiric Plagued Jailers back when Inferno hadn't been nerfed, but my god, those mobs were unkillable. Worst offender I ever saw was an Arcane Enchanted, Vampiric, Jailer, Plagued affixes on those giant demons who have the two huge maces as weapons, there was no way to kill them.

I think worst combo I've personally had to suffer through was Arcane Waller Jailer (and anything else as a 4th), second was probably Arcane Vampiric Horde Extra Health

Arcane Waller Jailer is just stupid, because you'll get something game breaking like Molten or Desecrator for the 4th. Vampiric and Extra health always blows, doesn't matter what the other two affixes are, you're going to be there for 20 minutes.

Enemies I hated facing...

Madness of Deathwing in WoW was pretty bad. Ridiculously long fight and not super-interesting as a mage, either. I think that's it, though, there weren't any enemies in any game I played that I *hated*.


Enemies I "hated" to face, though, were the brutes and gatherers in Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the Manpigs in Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.

Scary as hell.

EDIT: Good lord, somehow I forgot about Malta Sappers and, when playing my Blaster, any and all Carnival of Shadows, in City of Heroes/Villains.

It really was stupid... especially if I was using a melee character (it's been so long since that one happened that I don't remember which character I was on at the time), with a ranged character, especially the wizard with his/her laserbeam of death ability that I use it didn't matter as much.

Been playing the Star Trek Armada 3 mod for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion. Just one word...

Borg.

Their base ships have almost twice the health and shields anything else has which is annoying but add on the fact that they also hit twice as hard?!

Great Mod by the way and I don’t think its a balance issue cause I really think they are supposed to be that tough(someone correct me if im wrong) but when I do a random game and 3 out of the 8 players are Borg in my star system...

But for any of you Sins players out there I would highly recomend it if you havent already played it.

A little backstory:

6-Year-Old Chowderhead enters his first arcade. He sees a cool looking machine, and goes for it. It's a space combat game, and he's having a ton of fun. Out of nowhere...



Little Chowderhead starts to cry in fear and runs away. To this day, I cannot play this game or watch footage of it, because I become irrationally afraid.

Geese Howard and Rugal Bernstein from King of Fighters (2D fighter by SNK). THE most challenging bosses I have ever faced in any game.

Handymen from Bioshock Infinite!

and Birkin from the Resident Evil series.

Ducks from Timesplitters ...... My mortal enemy .....

Speaking of ducks...

The dog from duck hunt.

I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU

Spellcasters in Dragon Age, sweet-baby-jesus they're annoying. Probably the most frustrating are the Darkspawn ones if only because they get some of the most ridiculous spells early on like fireball and chain lightning. There's that aura thing that they get that drains health too. *rage*

Was thinking back to other random games I've played and thought of Nier (sp?). Hilariously Japanese game with awesome voice actors and story that was impossible to understand. There were these wolves that would fake you out before they charged and bounced you all over the place. Basically a stunlock.

Healers in Divinity 2. "Oh. I'll play a pure archery character. This can only go wel-Oh. Healing." "Time to reroll!"
