Biggest anticlimax

no one said the borderlands ending yet?

Spoiler: about that boss fight

you mean the final boss that Reaver kills for you?

Im talking about the actual final Boss

Spoiler: open for a tale of whimzical and wonder

You shoot him in the head/hit him with your sword/ breath on him, he falls of a cliff and dies... Just after your Dream thing when you are young again

yeah thats the guy reaver kills if you wait for too long

Spoiler: Seriously?

No, Seriously? You dont even need to move? My god, that just got even worse.

Spoiler: Thats the worst part

If you wait for him to finish his evil monolog (as would make the most sense because even at this point I wanted to understand Lucian more, and it's just how these things work) Rever robs you off the satisfaction that the game has been drilling into you to want.

It's bad design, pure and simple.

Spoiler: It's like if at the end of Mass effect...

When you fight Saren and instead of you shooting him/getting him to shoot himself, Ambassador Udina shoots him out of nowwhere and makes a joke about beating you to it, fucking cheep

yep, reaver steals your kill if you wait to long.
Fable 2 has mastered the anticlimax.

F.E.A.R.: You spend most of the game chasing down Paxton Fettel, then when you finally find him, he dies... in a single shot to the head. He just SITS there and looks at you menacingly, too. Granted it's a very unnerving scene, but... for a guy with powerful psychic abilities you were chasing for the whole game, I expected more of a fight.

Thankyou! Borderlands.....The final boss. Need I say more?

Batman:Arkham Asylum ending was also pretty weak. I did enjoy the game as a whole though. A good giggle.

Wow, i think i need to lie down for a while, that is actually that depressing

 

[Ocelot GT]

Gears of War felt really weak at the end, and it's just a giant.

"Catch ya next sequel!" ;p

The whole ending part of the game was shit, I had to run through a factory where Alma can 1 hit kill me? Fuck Off.

...Are you joking?
On my first time playing, hardest difficulty, I had no problems with the escape sequence...
In fact, if I remember correctly, most of the time you get into automatic slow-motion when it happens most of the time.

You were actually aiming and shooting at her and the 'ghosts' she creates, right?
Or were you just on REALLY low health?

 

[Hazy]

COD4.

Spoiler

I mean, seriously, one shot and Zakhaev goes down? Really? No big battle, nothing?

I dunno if MW2 resolved it or not but it was pretty jarring when it first came out.

MW2's is better, but worse, as it ends much more abruptly than MW. It's literally like they said "Screw it" and just stopped writing. I'm dead serious.

Anyway: Gears of War 2. If you've played it, you know what I mean.

 

[QwertyMan46]

Bioshock final boss fight i had Heat seeking RPG rounds and they killed him in litterally less than 60 seconds

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Oblivion's final 'boss'.

That was rather dissapointing. Yes.

I'd say the most anticlimactic thing was in Red faction 1. Theres some great story at the beginning, then the gameplay starts.

 

[Reiz]

Fighting the final boss in Torchlight. Not to say he's pushover or easy, he just has so much health and spawns so many adds you'll lose interest in the fight really fast and just hope for it to end.

 

[kingcom]

The final Boss fight in Arkum Asylum.

And the final Boss fight in Demon's Souls. Then again, name me one RPG with a satisfying End Battle.

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Saverok and Irenicus were both extremely tough and satisfying conclusions.

Finishing kotor 2 and basically having Kreia tell you that there is no big climax.....Thanks Kreia.

 

[BubbaJeff]

Borderlands.

 

[arcstone]

General scales (or whatever his name was) in starfox adventures.

I was expecting a huge melee fight, but all I got was a cutscene of a

Krazoa spirit coming down and killing him.

*disappointing*

Finishing kotor 2 and basically having Kreia tell you that there is no big climax.....Thanks Kreia.

She didn't say that, she said there was no big reveal like you had in KotOR 1 when you found out that the PC was actually Revan. You still had a semi-difficult battle against her and then a planet explosion as you fly off into the distance.

Admittedly it would've been better if they'd finished making the game, but you can blame LucasArts for that.

Knights of the old republic had a good last boss fight
