MSN publish a list of top 10 boss battles

[Baby Eater]

no liquid ocelot from the end of mgs4?
no the end from mgs3?
no xemnas from kingdom hearts 2?
i am offended! >:O

I'd probably place more from God of War in there, like the colossus, (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/3/19/). But that scenario generally makes for a amazing encounter, hence why the Hydra is there and the Kraken should be (at least I think it was a Kraken) and why the Collussi are there.

I'd also like to throw "The End" in there from MGS 3, I done that boss fight as my cousin couldn't, then when he left went out and brought MGS1, 2 and 3 now I have 4 and many wasted hours.

 

[Baby Eater]

disregard this sorry

Ganondorf doesn't deserve to be up there. In Ocarina of Time, the battle between him and Link was basically a game of baseball using swords and energy balls.

I think you mean empty milk bottles and energy balls. Cause that's the only way to go.

at least it was not a frikken net and energy balls like in A Link To The Past haha

8) The LvL 4 boss from Rez

This is the first time I've ever agreed with something on an MSN list. Usually their lists are filled with crap that only the least educated gamers would agree with, but this... well, it shows that there at least is some intelligence within the minds of the normally infantile writers who come up with these lists.

 

[Mr. Fister]

Hmm, my list would have Ganon/Ganondorf from OoT at #1, but you have to remember, there's no sense in attaching weight to these kinds of things. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, after all.

 

[TheNoirGuy]

Why are there no final fantasies? VII or X?

 

[Delritho]

These guys seriously need some other awesome boss battles. I'm going to get bashed for these, but hey they are my honest opinions.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix: Xemnas hands down.

Kingdom Hearts 2: The Grim Reaper, Xaldin, and Xigbar. I can't between which.

Fable: Dragon Jack was pretty awesome. If a bit easy if you were IV'ing Health and Mana potions.

Legend of Dragoon: Melbu Frahma.

Paper Mario: That one guy who hid his heart down a well or something. Can't remember his name, just that it was EPIC to beat him after having to run from him so many times.

I agree with 9, 3,2 and 1. though the leviathan should have been higher... or possibly the hive mind (due to sheer epicness)

 

[zehydra]

I think the gannondorf battle from OoT is definitely worthy to be on the list. Bowser from Mario 64 really wasn't that great. The Bowser battles in that game are either absurdly easy, or just plain irritating.

 

[internetzealot1]

Wind waker ganon kill is still the most epic.

MASTER SWORD IN BETWEEN THE EYES BEATS ALL.

Oh hell yes.

 

[internetzealot1]

I think that the Hive Mind was a better boss fight then the Leviathan

 

[Metropocalypse]

I think Cyborg Ninja was better. Agh! All the MGS boss fights were AMAZING. Where's GLaDOS?! :O It may not have been difficult, but it was definitely fun and epic...and different.

(...is sick of the same old usual boss fights.)

 

[Rishtaka]

I'm surprised there isn't more outcry that Sephinroth wasn't on the list...

 

[Chaos Theory]

The Krauser and Psycho Mantis battles where epic indeed

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Not played any of these but...

No Shoggoth from Dark Corners of the Earth?
No L4Ds?
No Shadowman against Jack The Ripper?
No Meat Circus?
No Xegony in Everquest or even The Sleeper?
No Marshmallow Man?

Man, the MSN lot are almost as stupid as Maxim.

Edit: Oh, and no M.Bison, Shao Kahn or Akuma? For shame.

 

[Dys]

Psycho mantis...really.
He wasn't even close to the second best from the original metal gear solid game alone, much less the series...not even rated on the overall scale of videogames.

 

[awesomebillfromdawsonville]

What? No Dark Aeons from Final Fantasy 10?! Seriously, 10 Dark Aeons followed by Yu Yevon is way better than Berial.

YES!! Well, to the Dark Aeon part. As for the rest of it... Well fighting a little floating roach between two floating stones in a battle you cant seem to die in... I dunno. Seemed a bit anti-climactic, especially after the whole Jecht thing.

 

[TheSchaef]

Not understanding the hate for Gannon[dorf] on this list. Yes, the initial battle is a ping-pong match, but I'm certain they are taking the fight in its entirety, from the ping-pong match through the race down the palace only to have Super Pig burst from the rubble and you're like "OH CRAP" and you go through that whole mess down there and end with a sword between the eyes boom headshot.

I'm sorry, but that's pretty freakin epic.
