Most Annoying Thing A Boss Can Do.

[Spawny0908]

Regenerate health
have an insta-kill move
have an unskippable cutscene before the fight
have a life bar the size of 10 fucking football fields
spawn minions that are tough on their own
have a weird ass, hard to figure out gimmick in order to kill it


Like Yahtzee said "THERE IS NO MIDDLE FINGER BIG ENOUGH!"

Being immune to most status skills is annoying but understandable. But I cannot stand instant death attacks. I could be at full health waiting to unleash some kill on the boss but its one little move just ruins everything.

1. Any time a boss hits me through a wall or some other barrier that they shouldn't be able to.
2. Unblockable attacks that deal enough damage to kill you and have very similar animations to a blockable attack.
3. Have so much HP that to take them out I need to go outside and grind for an hour or two so I can actually deal noticable damage.

All of which are problems I'm having with Dark Souls.

 

[aei_haruko]

heal itsself, and have a " hit everything" attack

 

[OdyCay]

emune to counter attacks and regenerate health

 

[feeback06]

I've been ninja'd a lot it seems lol. I'll go with healing itself, spawning minions and cutscenes you can't skip.

 

[PeaceRider]

Healing.
Example - Pokemon's Elite Fours + Champions
You have a powerful pokemon in the red with a stat effect, then they bust out a full restore!

Minions.
Example - Round 3 of the Final Boss in Twilight Princess, i.e. Chase the bastard!
Get back here! Shoot him already! OH FU- *gets knocked off horse*

others include = Attacking while getting up. Teleporting. Inescapable shockwaves.

 

[MrJoyless]

Random one hit kills...ugh...

Or see you a mile away through fog and mow you down *shakes fist* damn you Xenia Onatopp!!!

seriously who the fuck can dual weild fucking assault rifles....

 

[WarriorOfBenOwnage]

I hate the ones that have Health Amounting to the net gain of China each year, and then they have multiple forms which have even more health. The second Omnidroid in the Incredibles' movie tie in game was ludicrously healthy. The thing had health equivalent to 20 enemies, and you had to kill it 5 times. And it wasn't even an endgame boss. It was in the middle of the game. I never found out how much the final boss had. I stopped playing after I beat the second one.

 

[TheLoneBeet]

Having an attack that can kill you with one shot. It's bullshit. Especially if it's something you can't dodge (like in a turn-based RPG) or something similar. It's bullshit to get through a lot of a boss' health then have it turn around and kick your ass in the last minute with some cheap one-hit attack.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Rub in my face how much better they are than me. Lose points for talking to do it, gain points if it's true. Most points I've ever awarded like this: Youmu Konpaku, who gives you bullet-time and would be impossible to beat without it.

 

[McMullen]

Arbitrary invincibility, Ninja Gaiden. The number of times you can hit flesh and hear "CLANG!" in that game...

 

[dessertmonkeyjk]

QTEs
Requiring a specific move in a limited time span WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS
Cheap shot machine
Being a nuisance rather then a threat (I'm looking at you Titan Joker)

Oh, and being thrown into a patch of spikes on the ceiling. It would of been funny if I wasn't so close to beating the guy.

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

I hate when bosses have multiple phases or forms; just when you think they are dead, BAM! Back in a stronger and/or faster form. It's worse when they have multiple phases and you have to fight them all over again from phase one if you die.

 

[Twilight_guy]

1 hit kills. Invincibility, minions, healing, etc. are annoying but you can come back from them. 1 hit kills... no. One slip up and boom, start over. That's just ragetastic.

 

[SSoSFAGTiaCaGwaP]

Spawning minions that look alot like the boss so you end up shooting at the wrong ones.

I totally agree with you about the minion thing, but there's one thing that bothered me with your sentence.

Spoiler: This is what I think of when people write alot

Just... read this.

[Vagon123123]

Kill you with the death animation. e.g. when the boss falls over as it dies and kills you. It also annoys me when shortly after you kill a boss that enemy becomes the fodder of the next few levels.

You say that...alot.

Alot if it isn't, but you don't know what you like or what you are good at until you do it.

Spoiler: This is what I imagine every time someone says alot

Wow, what are the odds. Second time I do this, and it's the same person!

I'm just trying to make the world a better place, one grammatical correction at a time.

 

[RuralGamer]

Locks me in an excessively long cut-scene before I have to fight and then forcing me to rewatch the cut-scene should I die

or

having cheap attacks
