You call THIS a final boss!?

[Netrigan]

As much as I love Half-Life, there has never been a good Half-Life boss, besides Striders. Ever.

I've long had fun reminding Half-Life fanboys that the super-awesome story of Half-Life 1 was essentially Doom right down to having to shoot a rocket launcher into the bad guy's brain while monsters endlessly spawn in around you.

Just needed John Romero's head on a spike to seal the deal

The Portal monster from Border lands. What a fucking waste of time.

Exactly. Actually, most bosses in Borderlands were like that, but especially the portal monster because it was so easy to make it through without taking any damage whatsoever. And it didn't even drop and valuable loot.

Also, Resistance 2's final boss was awful. You strafed around in a circle, shooting the electric pod things to shock Daedelus. I beat it on the first try without even getting hit once. And I suck at that game.

The Portal monster from Border lands. What a fucking waste of time.

OMG! That pissed me off! It was harder to get to the boss then the boss itself!

 

[badgersprite]

Who the hell is Necron!? What happened to Kuja?!

Yevon?! I thought he was supposed to be some sort of God? Why do we all have auto-life? That just makes this too easy! Jecht was way more of a challenge!

...Also, General Shepherd, but that might not really count.

Boss fights are outdated and dull.

I'd be far happier if we had punch-ups like in AC2; in fact, that's exactly what Arkham Asylum's final fight should have been.

I mentioned Far Cry a moment ago, but I rather like Boss Levels instead of Boss Fights. Make that final level the absolute toughest in the game and give the player the satisfaction of putting a bullet in the bad guy's head at the end of it. Call Of Duty 4's ending was on the money for me. Seem to recall Uncharted 2 doing something along those lines, with this big cinematic shot you had to pull off before plunging to your death.

Both of which tend to be more satisfying than shooting 300 rockets into a giant's face.

Saints Row 2 had a terribly easy boss, but I'll let that slide considering who he was.

The White Trash gang had the best Boss Fight. Monster Truck demolition derby with RPGs... oh, yeah.

Final boss fight was more of a Boss Level... and another good example of it. I had one hell of a hard time getting to him, which made wasting him so much sweeter.

 

[Saxm13]

You ever notice how the 2nd-to-last boss is usually more difficult than the FINAL boss?

 

[zaiggs]

Gears of War 2 had a terrible final boss. Killed it on my first try in less than 30 seconds... probably like everyone else did.

 

[Madara XIII]

God of War 3

This was Zeus' finest hour? Really?

Yep! That was how I felt, especially since I just beat God of War 2 before I beat 3 I just got the sudden realization

Me: "Hold on a biscuit here!!!! This is the GOD OF WAR 2 FINAL BOSS!!!! WITH CLONES!! REALLY!!!?!?? not even gonna change it up a bit?"

My personal Favorite Bosses though Had to be Either Poseidon for his Epic Battle at the beginning or Hercules (Just down right fun as hell fight)

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Dante's Inferno. Seriously, shouldn't Satan himself be more powerful than that?

 

[Madara XIII]

You ever notice how the 2nd-to-last boss is usually more difficult than the FINAL boss?

Heck yeah!! Especially if it's a character that is your rival

Bomberman Heros anyone!?!?

Nitro was the Hardest EFFING boss when you get to the end.

 

[adam5396]

Just Cause 2 I guess should get this, since it's final boss I beat with a sniper rifle and a quicktime event. But it was still fun, so I'll let it slide.
THe Force Unleashed Final boss though, god was that boring. I fought the emporer and I won by mashing attack until he fell over....Well, I had to let him stand up first before finishing with a quicktime event, so that doesn't even apply.

 

[Madara XIII]

Killzone 2.

Yes it was very hard but soooooooooo very repetitive and cheap. Radec kills himself in the end you just weaken him....

Hmmm Idk Radec was a ***** of a hard ass boss to fight, mainly because you deal with wave after waves of enemies and Yeah it is dissapointing he offs himself....

Me: "Oh heck yes, I'm so destroying this dude for the 2hours he made me suffer!!!"

Radec kills himself

Me:".......FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[SalamanderJoe]

The Saboteur. No button presses are required to beat the final boss.

Agreed. I was carefully lining up a groin shot as well.

 

[shadyh8er]

And Resistance: Fall of Man: There wasn't EVEN a final boss. You shattered tubes while dodging aliens and Angels. That was it. Nothing more than a few plasma bullets and BAM, done.

Resistance 2 was worse, in my opinion. You just ruin away from a giant floating squid and shoot lights to kill it. It was really lame and took maybe 45 seconds at most.

Ninja'd...damn.

But seriously, said "squid" was some kind of super-chimera. Going into the boss battle I expected there to be some kind of creative way to kill him. Oh well, at least you got badass Dr. Manhattan disintegrating powers after beating him!

 

[S.T.U.D.]

Urban Reign. Dodge the bullet. Punch him in the face. Win.

 

[Romidude]

HALO 3 What the FUCK?

NoNo NO... god man that was NOT a boss. That was meerly an end to the storey. It most more like some sort of of live QTE. And pleaseuse proper grammer next time.

To all out there who say " this is the worst boss ever because its a big QTE or I just shot him once". This probably arent sopossed (spelling mistake) to be boss battles, just closure to storey.

OT: Time Squads boss was quite easily but still dramatic and the like. I stood ona ledge near the entrance and none of his attacks could reach me. a few minutes of shouting and he was down.

I like the part when you compained about HIS grammar.

 

[BenzSmoke]

The Portal monster from Border lands. What a fucking waste of time.

I just went behind it and stabbed it to death. That was one pathetic boss.

Fable 2's boss was killed in one hit.
Halo 3's was this [http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/12499/343GS.png] rather than this [http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline10/flood/H2CH_FL_gravemind09_jr.jpg].
GLADoS was also extremely easy. However, Portal was more of a puzzle game than an action one. So I'll let it slide.
I was sad Half-Life 2's wasn't that good. Two helicopters and a stationary generator. Ohhh scary.

Most games these days either have crappy bosses, QTEs, or no bosses at all. It makes me sad. :-(

God of War 3

This was Zeus' finest hour? Really?

Going to have to go with this.
