"I thought you were bigger..." Anticlimatic Bosses

[Spektre41]

Nahatomb from Klonoa Door to Phantomile, you make your way a myriad of reasonable challenging boss battles, and then you reach this behemoth, so how do you kill him?

Oh, you throw enemies into 5 cannons that completely destroy him in one hit, then you go through another piss easy fight, and then you repeat step one.

Liquid - MGS4 - It just turns into button mashing! The most evil guy in the series is beaten in a fist fight which is so easy to do, even on Boss Extreme :/

Ripto - Spyro 2, Just getting the power orbs was easy because they got put down next to you.

Zarok - Medievil, all of the little henchmen dudes he put you against before hand were easy, so you'd expect when he turns himself into a giant dinosaur thing it'd be cooler, no?

Lord Palethorn - Medievil 2, Same as above, henchmen are easy, and he himself is piss aswell!

Jeff Jarrett - TNA iMPACT!. TNA is fun until you get to him. A boss who reverses every move you try is just not fun at all.

Eye of Sauron - LOTR Third Age, seriously, he doesn't attack you, and when he does it makes no difference, it just takes ages to get rid of all his health.

Yeah. About MGS4:
Possibility 1: You are lying and have never taken on liquid ocelot on The Boss extreme mode.
Possibility 2: You are one hell of a gamer.

Chesty. Although it was quite atmospheric, I had power-gamed before I even left Bowerstone for the first time and I think I was a higher level then the game thought I would be at the time, so most of it was easy.

Lol, I'd like to think it's option 2, but I'm really not a hell of a gamer, it took me 3 months just to get that far in MGS4, and that was on Naked Mormal. Maybe it's because it's just button mashing really, and quick time events.

For me, it's a tie between Bioshock - which was the easiest boss that I've come across - and Resident Evil 4.

"I'll come at you, slowly, so just chuck some grenades at me. Here's a rocket-launcher for good measure. Don't miss; the computer aims it for you."

 

[Umwerfer]

Definitly Bioshock, I usually suck at bosses, but you can easily defeat "he who myst not be named lest it be a spoiler" with a wrench. You spend the entire game hoarding up ammo(extremely uneccesary-.-), and at the end you find that you do not need the ammo for this guy.

Fallout 3.

 

[Anarchemitis]

All of the heroes in Star Wars Battlefront. They're more of an annoyance than an opponent.

Fable 2, half the bosses from Gaiden 2 (the dragon in the water cave anyone?), the last boss from R&C on ps3.. infact every R&C last boss i can remember although the one from 3 at least had that *sigh* epic *sigh* feel.

Save the rocket launcher, makes for a fun fight

at the end of prince of persia: the sands of time where you fight the vizier? he was only slightly more powerful then a regular enemy, and a single regular enemy is pretty weak. probably the easiest boss fight ever. i was able to beat him on my second play through without taking any damage and i wasnt even trying to do that. sorry about the spoiler, but i dont know how to hide it and its kinda predictable anyway.

ganondorf in twilight princess. he spent most of the fight walking around. his actual attacks were pretty easy to block or dodge, and the cutscene where he dies i still hold up as the worst end game cutscene in the history of video games.

ganondorf in wind waker, better than twilight princess, but so very short. probably less than two minutes. and theres like no strategy except to use counter attacks.

perfect chaos from sonic adventure. i mean cmon, you win by running at him so fast his head explodes. i wish i was fucking kidding.

metal sonic from sonic heroes. i should have expected a bad fight, but again you spend most of the fight not even attacking.

the multiphase battle at the end of metroid prime: corruption. its a good enough battle, but it was too easy because you are stuck in hypermode. so instead of having a health meter an dying when you lose it all, your basically timed instead. but the timer counts so slowly that you get at least a half hour to fight it.

ganon in ocarina of time. that fight was ludicrously easy. and ganon was about a third of the size i expected him to be. and he didnt look scary at all. i mean i know the graphics were pretty limited back then but he looked almost cute for gods sake.

sonic adventure 2 was similar to the first: you just run straight at the boss, only now its even easier because you dont have to reach top speed. there was something else you need to do, maybe press one button.

super mario sunshine. you basically win by ass pounding different parts of the floor.

super mario galaxy. a bad ending to a great game, its a multi phase battle with all the phases being taken from other bosses. its like bowsers not even trying.

And a hefty sum of money when you hit up New Game Plus for a replay

Mine was in final fantasy 3 (6). The boss shows up about 30 minutes before you actually fight it and kills your entire party with a death star laser that does 9999 damage to everyone in your party. One convenient plot device later and I was back on track and fearing for my team's safety. When I finally got to the epic showdown, the boss was weakened by another plot device to the point that it's super laser only did 1000 damage per character. Needless to say, it got raped by my party, who were suddenly able to do 9999 damage to IT.

Gears of War 2... you give a monster's face a sunburn. Woooooo.

I actually liked how Gears 2 ended. The played it off like it wasn't a usual adventure game. It didn't end with a boss fight, it was more of an interactive cutscene. I think Skorge was the last boss, considering you fight him three times before he dies, each time was fairly difficult (Keep in mind, I started on Hardcore difficulty, not Easy or Normal)

It's definitely not anti-climactic though, I mean, you jump on the guys head and stab his big gruesome eyball with a knife. It's like God of War or something.

 

[Ravenbom]

Ganon, in basically every Zelda game.

I'm not saying every time, but most RPGs, I do so many of the sidequests before beating the game that the last boss battle completely underwhelms me.

 

[Drift-Bus]

Fable 2, such an anti climax

"walk up stairs, accidentally press X during tyraid, win."
