Current Events > What game enemy made you say "Yeah! I'm glad I got to kill them!"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Someone from GTAIV?
Fallout New Vegas?
A Goomba from Super Mario bros?

Algus from Final Fantasy Tactics

I have no idea why but I loved killing every single Erdtree Avatar in Elden Ring. I'd see one in a late game area and unironically pop off.

Metal Face from Xenoblade 1. And don't give me that one technicality because what ultimately happens is still good enough.

Damn, yeah. That guy was the biggest shitbag.

Zephia engage

Primrose's first boss in Octopath Traveler. Dude is a super shitty, smug scumbag and he's the only boss in Primrose's revenge quest that feels really good to kill and isn't dragged down by her moral crisis.

that blobby steamroller dude from pikmin

Flowey in Undertale

Getting to beat the shit of Wind Waker's Helmaroc King with a comically-oversized hammer after being antagonized by that jackass for the first half of the game is one of my favorite gaming beatdowns.

Also the bit in Hollow Knight where you get to wail on Radiance after finally winning the fight proper made all the frustration worthwhile.

Father Owl in Sekiro, because he killed me like 50 something times before

recently it was Kazuma Kyriu on Yakuza Like A Dragon.

Luca Blight from Suikoden 2

Truth

Zenos <whatever> Galvus. Drags the entire story down around him.

Hopefully he fucking stays dead this time.

Basically all the bosses in primrose story in octopath traveler. I was worried they were going to pull some "killing you won't fix anything" bullshit.

Oh, I completely forgot about this cesspool of a person. Them, too.

That racist guy in Skyrim's Falkreath. He's only is nice to you if you're a Nord and his brother isn't too keen on his behavior either.

Sephiroth in original FF7.

The bugs in EDF and Helldivers.

The Renan lords in Tales of Arise, except Dohalim the token good member of that group. I am still playing the game, just got to Thistlym, so far the game has done a good job making each lord more terrible than the last.

Final Metroid Dread boss kicked my ass for about two hours so Im looking forward to giving it another shot after getting all the upgrades.

Fuck that guy.

All enemies in TLoU2

Sonia in Fire Emblem 7. Especially if you grind up Nino enough to do the job. Of course, there's satisfaction in having a certain (normally silent) someone take their revenge.

Jaffar: Here I come.

Micah Bell in RDR2. Say Black Lung one more time motherfucker, say it. I dare you.

You don't actually kill him, but Eric Sparrow.

****TONY HAWK'S UNDERGROUND SPOILERS FOLLOW****

At the end of Tony Hawk's Underground, he challenges you to one last ride around your hometown, with the winner taking the tape.

What tape, you ask? Well, it all began in a small town in New Jersey, where you and Eric "sack of shit" Sparrow grew up and somehow managed to become friends. At that point, Eric was already an asshole, of course, but so far he was one who just had never been in the right position for his sleeze to be more than a mild nuisance. But he would soon get his chance.

See, Eric Sparrow doesn't want to be the best. He doesn't really even want to be good. He just wants to be better than you for no reason other than that he's a bastard-ass cockroach and you were just the only human on Earth born with the superpower of being able to put up with his shit enough to form any kind of relationship with the guy. You must have been bitten by a radioactive maggot in you sleep one night. Who the hell knows.

Whatever the reason, you cared. That was your sin.

So the easiest way Eric "if I can't have nice things, neither can you" Sparrow found to be better than you was simply to trip you up every step of the way. The little buttwipe gets you chased out of town when you get your big chance, gets you arrested, "forgets" to sign you up for the Am contest, and I must've just blocked out whatever the hell else, all because he wants you to fail at life. And like an idiot, you keep forgiving him.

Enter the tape. By simply being better at winning than Eric "Pissing Contest World Champ" Sparrow is at making you fail, you have astonishingly managed to get signed on with the same team as him, which decided to go to Hawaii to film the coolest/best video ever, and because you never learn from your mistakes, you give Eric "Please Kick Me in the Balls" Sparrow the camera while you film some crazy roof to roof stuff that you should really be put on suicide watch for.

Afraid of having to one-up you, Eric "Crapmaster" Sparrow attempts to talk you out of it, pretending he cares about your safety, when the cops show up in a helicopter because they should because you're about to get yourself killed. But you, master of all things extremely hardcore, instead decide to make the helicopter an even more over the to part of the stunt.

You pull it off, because otherwise the ending would be Eric "Bite the Hand that Feeds" Sparrow pissing on your grave, leaving Eric "King of the Buttmunches" Sparrow in possession of the tape that you risked your life doing the stupidest yet coolest shit you could come up with to make. And he loses it. Eric the hell Sparrow loses the tape. And he copies some of your less-impressive-but-still-amazing tricks to submit for the video, blowing everyone away. Because, let's face it, Eric "Petty Ass Hat" Sparrow may not have ambitions to be good, but can evidently do it if he just has no other choice.

After getting you arrested again, this time in freaking Russia, Eric "Pain in the Ass is an Understatement" Sparrow rides the fame he stole from you to the top of the charts, with all the money and prestige that comes with it, and you sorta give up on the 'biz because as long as Eric "na na na na boo boo" Sparrow is there it's just destined to not be any fun, so you head home to Jersey and decide to just skate around, prompting literally every pro who signed an agreement with Neversoft to come knocking at your door to sign up for your new team.

But even then, Eric "Less Pleasant than Hemorrhoids" Sparrow shows up just to be a pain in the ass and let you know he won, finally inciting you to anger by presenting the tape, which he had all along.

Which brings us to the present. He challenges you to the contest, you accept, this is of course the game's final challenge, so you predictably kick his ass, you walk away with the tape while Eric "Being of Inconceivable Malice" kicks and screams in defeat.

It's a... kind of satisfying ending, I guess.

But on the second playthrough, while Eric "I Dashed Ya" Sparrow is inches away from your face, taunting you and trying to get you to accept his ultimate challenge, the cutscene instead ends with you wordlessly punching him right in his shit-eating-grin and walking away with the tape. You don't even have to do the final challenge. And it's WONDERFUL.

Vile with the Haduken in Megaman X.

I was all like "Get tf outta here"

Definitely a certain character in Red Dead Redemption II. If you have played to completion you know the one.

Wolfenstein.

Hitler in Wolf3D

The best part is you get to kill him twice

Definitely this.

Any time I had those suit of armor guys in watch dogs I was biding my time

I think the thing that finally gave Tactics Ogre Reborn the edge over FF Tactics for me personally was not only getting to see that weaselly self-righteous little shit Vyce actually pay for his crimes and get executed in the Chaotic path, but having the satisfaction of re-killing his tortured reanimated zombie while saving Cressida.

You don't kill them but that teacher in Persona 5, was satisfying snatching their soul

The fact that the only ending that's a good one is the Law ending where a certain someone survives really irks me to this day. Fucking Lodis, always fucking shit up, man.

Chaos was such a satisfying path to take, but Law was much more...nuanced, shall we say.

The beginning of the law path sucks and I hate that it's also the only way to recruit that one character.

Yup, that one felt good to beat. He's a major pain in the ass.

Ravness is just so bae, tho (also she's really strong, especiallyas a White Knight)

Micah Bell in Red Dead Redemption 2

Definitely Gortash in Baldur's Gate 3.

Smarmy little shit had it coming.

Izuka and Lekain from Fire Emblem Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn

Absolute scumbags, the both of them. Different reasons entirely of course, but I greatly enjoy using different characters to kill both of them because so many people have reasons to be the ones to do them in.

Crazy prince guy from The Last Story. Cannot remember his name
