10 Video Game Moments That Blew Us Away (Even Though We Saw Them Coming)
8. The Cyberdemon - DOOM (2016)
Although the Doom Slayer can mop the floor with Hell's most daunting fiends, taking down the merciless Cyberdemon is no easy task. Debuting in the original Doom, this rocket launching cyborg is renowned for being one of, if not, the toughest enemy in the franchise. Since the Cyberdemon pops up in nearly every entry, it's only a matter of time before you run into mechanical nightmare in 2016's DOOM.
And yet, his reveal is sure to blindside everyone. Just before his grand entrance, Doomguy will have nabbed the most powerful gun in the game, the BFG-9000. Players will be so excited to get their mitts on this room-clearing weapon, they're totally unprepared when the Cyberdemon corners the Doom Slayer immediately after.
But since you got the BFG, this should be a breeze, right?
Wrong. Rather than blasting you with missiles as per usual, this hellish skyscraper utilises a more tactical approach for a change, unleashing a relentless barrage of shockwaves, lasers, and tracking projectiles. Even with the BFG in tow, this is the toughest incarnation of the Cyberdemon by a long shot.
Even though veterans should've seen the encounter coming, few of them were ready for it.
