You WISH you could just go "nope" on this motherfucker. It won't let you.

Playing through Final Fantasy VIII on PS1 and "Nope" the T-Rexaur and Malboro. Different now I'm playing through on Vita - I'm beasting the game now but I remember how annoying they were back then....

Bloater from The Last of Us. If it comes in contact with you, it's a one hit gruesome kill, it throws spores at you non-stop and it looks more intimidating than the rest of the infected.

I'm contemplating grabbing a ps3 just for that game, and some metal gear. Looks like a great game (TLoU).

I finished Uncharted 3 a few days ago. Without getting too spoilery, in the later part of the game, there's an enemy that suddenly gets much faster after taking a set amount of damage. Oh, and they're bullet sponges, so you're left with an enemy that teleports and absorbs bullets like it ain't no thang. Their AI is also set up to teleport away from grenades.

It seems to be Uncharted tradition to throw in a late-game enemy that sucks to fight. Stop doing this, Naughty Dog.
 
Demon's Souls, Red Eye Knight, first time:

"Oh hey, I bet he can give good loot and it can't be THAT hard I mean, I'm at the start of the game..."

:(

And after that they were my Nope, nope, nope, enemy in that game.
I didn't know anything about the game and I still said "nope" and went to do the rest of the level instead.
 
Clickers. The look, the noise, the animations. I've not even finished TLoU yet and that noise will be ingrained on my subconscious forever.

Infectors in Dead Space, on their own they don't pose an issue, but when they infect a dead body.... nope.

Also I'm currently up to a part where there's some regenerating thing... nope nope hell nope!

In what way would that make you go nope? Granted it was a tedious fight but nothing I'd go "Nope" at.

Personally I thought those crawling black spiders were the worst. I don't think you are spoiling anything by mentioning Fire Imps.

anyways, theres a couple things in Demon's Souls as well like the boss in 2-1. Can't stand spiders unless if they are the household ones.

Oh and heres a surprise from Fall of Man:
 
Hmm. I guess one that comes to mind is Sweepers from Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

I would actually vote the regular Hunters too, especially from the first Resident Evil. The classic scene where you see the hunter coming at you without knowing what it is is already chilling since it really sets up the enemy well, this ain't like anything you have fought before. The bastards are fast and capable of one hit kills.

Now fast forward to Code Veronica. Regular Hunters are reintroduced into the series for the first time since the original Resident Evil, great moment by itself and already it takes the place as the ''nope'' enemy of the game. However there was one little surprise for veteran fans left in store:

First all you notice is that it is a hunter that is red instead of green. If you are unlucky enough to get hit by these you notice that not only do you take serious damage but they can also poison you. Hunters that poison you=nope.jif

Another great one are the black headcrabs from Half Life 2.

First fight, no, not nope. Second fight on 1999 mode, yes, very nope. Also very "are you fucking kidding me?"

Slender, the Amnesia monster, and those ghosts in DreadOut. Those games are impossible to play alone at night
 
Yah for me I had multiple but a recent one was with a Bloater from the Last of Us...I had all these items at my disposal that I saved up for and I felt quite confident in fighting anyone... then I saw like one bloater, five clickers, and 3 runners and I looked at them for 5 seconds and was like "... NOPE!... I'm out of here" and booked it to the nearest exist

Pretty much every boss/mini boss in RE4. Yeah the Regenerators are bad, but as someone mentioned above the first encounter with blind wolverine claw dude...was playing at like 2 in the morning....god. Nopenopenope

Also agree on everything underwater oriented. That underwater colossus posted is one of the main reasons I've never replayed the game (despite loving it)
 
The most recent just happened today. Was playing Xcom:EU and came face to face with that big mech late on in the game. I was like "nope, I'm outta here" then hide all my soldiers far away until I could regroup and rethink. Bastard shoots twice as well, luckily it's aim seems a bit shit. I've had a couple of run ins now and he's missed 90% of the time.
 
Hmm lets see:

Mr. X from Resident Evil 2

Nemesis from Resident Evil 3

Regenerators, Village honcho, "It", right hand, cult followers, Salazaar in Resident Evil 4

Handymen in Bioshock Infinite

Big Daddoes in Bioshock

The weapons in Final Fantasy 7

Mobile cannons in Resonance of Fate

Ultimate goliaths in Borderlands

Let's get this one out the way

I made the last portion of RE4 harder for myself because they were so "Nope"-worthy. I walked into the freezer, saw a shitload of them hanging there waiting to grab me and said "FUCK THAT NOISE" and left. Missed the Infrared Scope entirely.
