The Selkath communication was so difficult for humans to learn due to its large difference to galactic Basic. What was wrong with the gurgling?
If you have to ask, I don't think my explaining it will help much:/

Malboros in Final Fantasy. I don't remember if I've ever fought one of those without running away like a total wuss... maybe in FF VII when I actually managed to get my hands on a Ribbon or two, or FF X where I had leveled up quite a bit. Still, hideous creatures.
'tis true. I'd forgotten about those, but they always annoyed the heck out of me whenever I play FF.

Kangaxx in BG2, the first time I encountered him...being able to kill your main character with one spell, and using that spell all the time while being resistent against anything and everything is somewhat annoying.

Vampires in BG2. Making you lose levels when they hit you is just lame.

Prince of Persia 3: the bossfight vs the axe guy and the sword guy.
You can't save before the fight, no, if you fail to defeat them and want to continue playing some other time, you will have to do a stupid race again.
You can't skip a boring lame cutscene leading to the fight. (Gets annoying if you happen to fail 6+times.
And the fight itself was rather difficult too.

Dragons in BG2. Are the FPS supposed to go down to like 13 on my brand new PC?

Hunters in Episode 2: How the hell am I supposed to attach the magnusson devices if they keep shooting them out of my hands?

That, my lad, is why Undead Hunters are really good. Immunity to Level Drain is the pimp when you're fighting Vampires. Besides, by the time you do the do with Vamps, you should have a Cleric with Lesser Restoration anyway.

And if you think Kangaxx was bad, try Demogorgon.

Lifts you up in the air so the others could shoot you.
Dont forget the blast bots.

I don't mind the Death Bots...

Skeletons in Oblivion. The creaking, then the running towards you. Specially the ones with axes. FREAKIN AXES! Then you kill them and they disintegrate into boney parts. Dear god in heaven.

The "brown monsters" (as I used to call them as a kid) aka. the Imps from Doom.

Man I hated the sound of their fireballs when they launched them.

Spell Immunity: Abjuration changes that some. Apparently it's the only spell he has, so he'll resort to head-butting when he sees you're immune to it. (Needless to say, the fight is a complete cakewalk then.)

And if you think Kangaxx was bad, try Demogorgon.

Quoted for emphasis... especially if you have the Ascension mod installed. He's all but impossible then (even without his immunity to Time Stop).

Ugh. Don't mention it. Bad Breath still gives me the creeps. I remember when I had to bribe Great Marlboros for 1,280,000,000 Gil, to get eight Wings to Discovery. Or bribe them for 540,000 Gil and get four Wings. Thirty of those items would allow me to use the "Break HP Limit" Spell and finally reach max health higher than those damned 9,999 HP.:rolleyes:

Plus, those guys remember me of cigarettes.

Lillies from Phantasy Star Online. If you're playing as a short Hunter they're such a pain because most of your attacks will fly under their collision box. And at low levels for non-droids, the constant poisoning may also prove to be a bit of a pain.

Yu Yevon in Final Fantasy X.
You can't die - you'll just be resurrected. Kinda lame.

I agree with headcrabs and cliff racers.

Oh, and another one: Jinpachi from Tekken 5. He's so overpowered, the big cheater! So frustrating with his unblockable attacks.

Or you could say the devs thought having you fight two final bosses, then immediately like a dozen summons and another boss was mean... ;)

I say that Darth Nihilus is/was the worst video game enemy ever, since you can't fight him until the end; However, he is very weak. After all the talk of how he wiped out the planet of Katarr, he can't manage to stay alive long during the Battle of Telos.

In the game, it was said he was lured to telos so he was weak, since he hadn't fed (off the force) for a while. So he was, by design, supposed to be weak.

I still think he sucked though.

I also hate the tanks in CoD 1-3.m Who is the idiot that thought of firing the main cannon of a tank at one infantry man out of 30? :D

Super-Saren - Mass Effect.

Put your hands down.

I expected more from Saren, as he is referred as a 'Living Legend'. His continuous frog like jumping attacks annoyed the hell out of me.

Yeah, JA was closer to being an expansion pack than a genuinely new game.

Sion. He wasn't particularly difficult, but he was an incredible bane of verisimilitude at that last fight. I hit him FIFTY TIMES with a lightsaber and I have to Dun Moch or Love him to death? What the hell is this, Days of Our Lives?

Was one hell of a lot of fun though.It is because your chose of companions was weak. I guess this only proves no matter his talk, Wrex is a sniveling coward when it comes to a real battle. :D Now with Tali and Liara or Ashely you can take Saren out without a problem.

I found the Benezia battle more difficult, at least until I figured out the secret. After that it is way too easy.

I found another bad enemy: Yami, the final boss in Okami. That guy was hard! He has five different forms, so you basically have to kill him five times in a row. It took 2 hours to beat him - just one guy! He made me like Okami even less.

If it's about time, Serpentine, that's child's play compared to FFXII Yazmat dude. That dragon was about the half size of the Colosseum he was in and he had 52 HP. 52 million HP.

*jaw drops to the floor* Wow.... Yeah maybe two hours isn't so bad - it was just kinda late when I was playing and I was tired, and tired of the game, and wanted to go to bed. It all added up to me thinking, "I hate this boss!"

Now I'm a little scared to play FFXII....

Not sure it's really an enemy, but the "Little Rocket Man" achievement on Half-Life 2 Episode 2. What you have to do is drag a garden gnome through 95% of Episode 2. And anyone whose played Episode 2 knows how hard it is to get the ****ing gnome in the damn car without it falling out.

I too didnt like the barnicles in halflife...

Facehuggers from AvP and AvP; kind of jump factor, but also cause those critters are hard to kill because theyre soo quick (i remember once I missed one three times with the pred auto targetting - it got me, ruined what had been upto then a perfect level on hard!) and damn good at hiding, I got got a number of times by surprise (generally as Predator, more immune as a marine due to the radar on your HUD).

The dogs moment in Resident Evil 1 (the original) did make little 12 year old me jump, abit pesky to kill too, tho the hunters were the worst for that.
