I have not played morrowind but the other examples are definitely not a match for headless kamikaze. They do not set the tone of the game and they are not an integral to the gameplay. A much better example for HL would be HECU soldiers. Even though their meme potential is lower than that of a headcrab, they are significanlty more important to the story and create fun combat scenarios whereas headcrabs are more of a nuisance rather than an enemy. The same problem with cazadors - just another mutant to kill. Not even the strongest one. Not even the most memorable (e.g. death claws have gained more infamy).

The Headless Kamikaze's voice is part of the soundtrack for part of The Second Encounter. One of the levels plays Jingle Bells, and the action variant contains a bunch of sound effects mixed in, including a bunch of Headless Kamikazes screaming and blowing up. Also making an appearance, the Werebull, minigun, Kleer, tommy gun, and the shotgun, plus a couple of enemies I forget the names of. Sam sounds like he's having a great time taking them all down.

How about a Goomba? Sure they kinda just walk around or charge at the player, but that's what Goombas do best. And they're iconic, I'd say they're almost as recognizable as the main plumber himself!

4:38 the Coach gun is pretty reliable against Kleers if you have the guts to wait for a hard to dodge, 40 damage attempt to tackle you. They also are kinda the only reason I use the double barrel after I have the rocket launcher since damn near every corner in some levels has one waiting to pounce on you. Anyway, great video on my favorite video game enemy of all time 👍

Spider splicers from bioshock 1 and 2 got to be some of the best enemies in all of gameing, you can reflect their projectiles you hear them coming but you don't know if they are on the ceiling or on the ground, plus they are fast and deal a lot of damage if they get into melee range.

I think I speak for many when I suggest you cover the HECU Marines from the original Half-Life and its remake Black Mesa. They add to the lore by showing that the government is aware of the invasion and also that they want to keep this on the down-low at all costs, and they add to the gameplay, by having essentially the same weapons as Gordon and also by having a for the time pretty advanced AI, making them potent opponents.

@MotorBorg 7 ай бұрын

Well, kleers do die reliably to a double barrel shotgun, if you shoot at the very last moment before they touch you. So they are just as perfect to me. As most enemies in SS are. That is the only game I know which has a perfect balance of enemies and weapons, when each weapon has it's use and not just for fun.

@GermanPeter 7 ай бұрын

It's too specific to really be reliable, though. I find that even if I hit them point-blank, sometimes 2-3 bullets don't manage to land, so they don't take full damage and don't die instantly. I like the idea, but the execution is poor. Kind of Lost Souls from Doom, who CAN die in a single shotgun blast, they just rarely ever do. They fixed it in Serious Sam 2 and I believe in BFE and 4 as well, but in First and Second Encounter, they suck.

Deep Rock Galactic. Acid Spitters. To me, they perfectly reflect what the game is about. Danger, Darkness, Dwarves. They are a ranged enemy with some of the highest damage and a DoT effect, and they cling to walls and ceilings which is usually out of range for a lot of characters. BIG DANGER. The darkness element, they have least non-zero bioluminescence of the game and they're pretty hard to see, almost using the light in the environment as a balancing factor. FIGHT THE DARK. Then, the instant someone gets hit by one, all guns face towards it, covering each other's backs as you fight the hellish spider. NO DWARF LEFT BEHIND. I would also say its cousin the Web Spitter is pretty perfect as well, just the same with a blinding/slowing effect instead of heavy DoT and no bioluminescence.

I'm rather split in between with Half-Life's iconic enemies; it's hard to point if it's either the headcrab, or the vortigaunt. I'd probably vote for the former due to it being often made the face of the franchise (whenever there's a crowbar, there's bound to be a headcrab reference there!) I'm not sure about Half-Life 2 though. The enemy cast was... how can I say it without the fans rallying against me xD boring? Not sure, just me though.

@Roxor128 2 ай бұрын

You're not wrong. If it's not returning from the first game, it's pretty much just "Combine goon". Using the antlions to storm Nova Prospekt was interesting while it lasted, and the poison headcrab a pest, but I had to actually spend a minute thinking on those because nothing immediately jumps out when you say "Half-Life 2 enemy", like the headcrab, bullsquid, houndeye, or vortigaunt do for the first game.
