DylanC Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I always find enemies within video games quite interesting. From their aesthetic design, to their motivation, to their AI. For me, one of the most memorable and creative enemies for a long while has to be the Big Daddies from Bioshock. They look so cool in their retro-fitted deep sea diver suit and I actually empathise with their noble mission to protect the Little Sisters from the Splicers. What video game enemies are memorable, or creative and have resonated with you? Edited March 26, 2019 by DylanC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Imaginative but in a bad way the fetus boss battle in South Park the Stick of truth. DylanC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'd say the bosses in Serious Sam seems to be pretty strong on imagination. They seem to have various powers and can be brutal if you ignore them. So I'd say those enemies are definitely bad enough to deal with.

StaceyPowers Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I’m in agreement that the Big Daddies are awesome! At the same time, I have a hard time thinking of them as “enemies,” so much as just something I’m “forced to kill.” If anything, I tend to see them as unfortunate victims. The entire time I’m shooting, I’m apologizing all over myself. And then when the Little Sisters start blubbering over “Mr. Bubbles …” I am in such a rush to click “Rescue,” lol.

skyfire Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 On that note, I think even the castle wolfestein's old warrior vilian at the end is scary too. I have seen some really creepy similar heroes in other games. It'd be interesting to see some of similar such resurrected vilains.

The Blackangel Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Tonberrys in FF8. Weird little bastards that just want to stab you with a kitchen knife or wave a lantern in your face. DylanC and killamch89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Daddies are kind of the good guys. I feel sorry for them as well! Their mission to protect the Little Sisters is actually honourable. It’s a great twist.

I spent most of that game expecting to have to somehow fight that thing, so I was surprised by how it turned out. I liked that neither the bird nor the cage represented freedom so much as the bird and the cage combined. I'm pretty sure that also connects to the idea that true freedom of will may entail a combination of choices and occasionally their removal (as Booker and Elizabeth realized Booker had too much choice in his past, and that decision point at the baptism needed to be "caged" to set the world free of Comstock).

Weird little bastards that just want to stab you with a kitchen knife or wave a lantern in your face. Yeah, What the hell was up with those monsters? Like seriously - you basically have a shell-less hunchback green turtle in a beige robe trying to shank you with a kitchen knife while using a lantern to blind you...Somebody must have been really high when they came up with Tonberrys. Whatever they were smoking at square enix, they need to share it🤣 kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yeah, I mean just look at this little shithead. Crack is not your friend people. And a few interesting facts about it: 1) You only get 1 AP for killing it. 2) You get no XP for killing it. 3) It can kill you in one shot. Trust me on this one. 4) It has around 20k-30k HP on average. So who in their right mind would waste their time with it? After killing around 20 of them it lures out their king which is actually a GF, that has some VERY nice abilities. If you no longer want to have to go to town to buy items it has an ability that is called Call Shop where all you have to do is go into your ability screen and there it is. No matter where you are in the world. On a side note who remembers the Bite Bugs? There is one, I don't know whether to call it funny or disturbing, fact about this little daemonic monstrosity from Satan's last bowel movement. I found this out about a year ago. It can fly up and FART on you. Yes that's right. Fart. How do I know it farted on me you ask? Because when it's not a standard physical attack, theres a bar at the top of the screen tha tells you what the attack is. And in big bold letters, it said FART.
