What are the weirdest enemies in video games? Are they a dying breed?
>>
They are pretty much dead. I can think of one developer who bothers to make completely out there enemies and that's Suda51

Creativity in vidya is dead. Why be creative when you can just rehash ideas that already exist and make them look slightly different? The same could be said of movies

kind of an obscure game, but earthbound has some weird enemies. I think one of them is a hippie zombie or something.

Give me your most abstract enemies. Weird ones that aren't just some anthropomorphic thing with blood over it.

So anything SMT?
>>
>>341245868
Funny how those games all look similar in their designs. I wonder what they all ripped off since they came out at roughly the same time (though I suppose a little earlier for Jim). I also recall Toejam and Earl which had a similar blobby humanoid alien theme as the others

There is clearly a connecting point somewhere here

Can you fuck off back to one of your containment threads? You fucks constantly try and force your shitty games into every damn thread. Fuck off, your crap will never be anything but unpopular trash

Something like Norn maybe.

>>341246618
What's got you so mad, kid? I like Oddworld but they weren't anything new at the time looks wise. It was really the atmosphere, the fantastic and well connected world design (due to eyeing a multi-game universe originally) and the great challenges that made it a hit. Some of the optional levels you can do to save Mudokons are devilishly hard. Developers simply do not know how to use the obstacles they've created in such varied and challenging ways any more

I'd define the Witches as more disgusting and putrid

The fact Witcher makes me feel that from time to time is what makes it great to me, though

Kind of cheating, but basically every single enemy and boss from the Cho Aniki series.

>>341247130
I mean, it's based on the real, Christian scripture's descriptions of angels. "Real" angels are fucking fucking terrifying compared to the milquetoast, seraphic winged humans that are so common in modern day.
>>
>>341248520
No, it's based on Dante's description of them.

The Bible doesn't really describe angels at all. Dante was the one who gave them like, a million eyes and shit
>>
>>341248520
Also Kinship is a boat. I don't think there was ever a boat angel.

It's a rowboat in space with a face on the front.

That's weird no matter how you slice it.

With the notable exception of Cherubim, which are definitely weird in the bible, most angels aren't.

Seraphim are the second-freakiest, and it's
>Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

That's not intimidating at all.

Basically every enemy in Bayo is a Cherub, ratcheted up to 11
>I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal,
5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, but each of them had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.

if instead of raging like madman, you took the time and look up some monster designs, you'd see that the're pretty good. the games are still shit tough

The enemies in this zone weren't that weird, but the area itself was pretty fucking strange and interesting-looking.

>>341249007
Only Cherubs are weird in the Bible, though Seraphim had 6 wings or something which is kind of weird.

Also,
>Revelations
It's Revelation. Singular. There is only one revelation. People would say it plural really don't know what they're talking about.

The generic enemies were pretty weird. they were tar blobs with random Baby doll and engine parts sticking out.

No, you've got it reversed.

The bible describes the Angels pretty damn well. The only reference to any part of hell or Satan is the lake of fire.

It describes most of them as looking like genderless humans.

Literally the only weird ones are the cherubim

We sorta already discussed this

Funny thing about demons, they're actually gods labeled as demons... Satan is the only demon
