I really hate having to fight hundred of Zubats just to get through one cave in Pokemon!

No, don't have a filter on that one. The "spork" replacement has some backstory to it, involving an old PlanetQuake article with LeeMon.
The profanity filter is optional. I do need to get around to adding some more "interesting" replacements.

After playing through Baldur's Gate 2 again recently... I'll have to say beholders are pretty high up on that list. And I fully admit to cheesing them in every single encounter I've had against them by buying that one shield that reflects beholder rays.
The sheer amount of BS they can spew is just amazing, let alone if you run into a cluster of two or three of them.
Other than that, I can't really think of one that truly annoys me. I mean.. when the only other thing I can think of is perhaps Boss Bass in SMB3, I think I'm doing something right.

Y'know, I honestly don't recall having much in the way of issues with the Kleer. It seemed like circling strafing just kept them in line, much like the toads. So long as you could keep the surrounding enemies under control, taking out a whole grouping of Kleer was fine.
Now those Headless Kamikaze guys... I almost always shot them way too close.

Y'know, I have Serious Sam 3 sitting here in my Steam list. It's been installed forever, but I have yet to play past the opening level. I never did get all the way through the HD remakes either. All this talk is getting me amped up for it though, lol. Have you fellas tried the newer Painkiller as well? Hell and Damnation... it's essentially an updates "best of" collection from the previous games, with a slightly retconned story. Very much worth the play through if you enjoyed the past games. Obviously, gameplay is pretty similar to Serious Sam... get locked in an environment with a slew of enemies and shoot your way out. Back to frustrating enemies though: I just started Skyrim back up a few weeks ago. Figured it was about time to go through the DLC. Anyway, I have this mod that reintroduces Cliffracers to the island of Solstheim. Granted, they're not bad in themselves, but it brought back horrible memories of Morrowind. They're just hover above you, rarely attacking. Somehow, the AI would make it so they'd continue to follow you though, thinking about attacking. So by the time you looked up to take notice, there would be a whole group ready to swoop down and peck at you.  |

The HD remakes of Sam are soured by one point, and that's the lack of the multi-directional gravity that was present in the originals. The switch room with the spikes that inverted gravity in Second Encounter is replaced with ledges that extend and retract, turning it into a platforming-exercise instead. The rotating tube was completely ruined as well. In HD, the tube itself is static, and instead has three sections that run the length of the tube and rotate inside it. This causes enemies and you to be pushed upward on one side and then fall off again back into the middle. It took all the fun factor out of that room.
I'm currently playing through Serious Sam 2, or as I prefer to think of it, "Seriously Silly Sam". I don't know if you've played that one. So far it feels a lot easier than the originals, though it's definitely a bit on the odd side. I must say that I do love the Klawdovic weapon. I just think of the parrots as "respawning" when they explode. It's hilarious watching this green parrot fly off on a kamikaze run shouting "HELLO!".
Come to think of it, I think my most frustrating enemy is being stalled creatively. It forces me to take a break from dev work and play my game backlog when I'd prefer to be making stuff. Oh well, all work and no play makes a dull bird I suppose.
Edit: I have the PainKiller Triple Dose collection laying around somewhere... It's another one on my backlog of games to be played, along with UT2K4, Prey, and the entire Commander Keen collection, among others...

I never played too much into Serious Sam 2... I kinda recall the presentation turning me off at the time. It seemed so much more cartoony. Maybe that's not the case, but that's what I recall.  Oh, I loved Prey! It was sooooo underrated. It was pretty novel for the time, too. Of course, Portal has overshadowed it in some regards, but the gunplay is still tight as ever. Interesting enough twist on the alien invasion plot, largely due to the non-typical main character. You also get to jump in and out of the Spirit Realm, much akin to how the Veil was handled in Wolfenstein 2009. |
