8 Hated Video Game Characters That Just Wouldn't Die

Oh, me oh my, it's time to cry.

Talking about the Dog from Duck Hunt is, quite possibly, the closest I will come to experiencing a war flashback. As soon as I think of his smirking face, I get attacked by feelings of inadequacy and failure, as lets be clear on something, the worst thing you can do when someone doesn't achieve their goal is to quite literally laugh in their face.

Kinda builds an unhealthy relationship with failure right there.

Still, no one told the developers of Duck Hunt that and so their Pixel Pooch is one that revels in your defeat. It's meant to be all charming and light-hearted but have you seen how hard it is to hit these bloody ducks in the first place? It's no wonder that many players snapped and tried to offload a few rounds into this mutt's face.

Yet here is the true villainy of the scenario, the dog, is invincible. He just shrugs off your attacks and continues to point and laugh at your misery. Truly he is the real God down here, and much like Train Man from The Matrix, this mutt is derailing your good times.
