10 Signs You Might Be THE WORST Video Game Enemy
3. Do You Ignore Terrain?
If there's one rule that all video game enemies should at least try and abide by it's ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE GAME WORLD EXISTS, yet time and time again you'll come up against foes that forgo little things like, I don't know, walls, doors, FLOORS, THE EARTH ITS F**KING SELF and will come sock you in the mush right out of nowhere.
Imagine being Arthur, the plucky protagonist from Ghosts 'n Goblins, and seeing Firebrand just whip through the floor and land an attack that looks like an aerial teabagging, especially when you're on a ladder or some other enclosed space. It'd be infuriating, right?
Still, the little red devil isn't the only enemy breaking the internal game logic as any such phantom or ghost based creature might also follow the same pattern. Here it's a little more understandable but it doesn't make it any less annoying to be grabbed by the ghoulies when you've had to plod your way through fifteen doors and countless levels.
