They have not been very good, and incredibly easy. Except for dark/demon's souls which had some of the greatest boss fights of all time. Boss fights have been lacking the sense of satisfaction of last gen.

Depends on the game. I had fun with bosses in Batman games, God of War, Gears of War, Dante's Inferno, hell even Sonic Generations had some fun boss fights. It's not like the old days where bosses were such a huge part of the game, but some games like Batman AC do it so aweosme.

Personally, I found it the other way around. I liked the very first stage of the final boss awesome because it was so refreshing. Also, games like Rayman Origins, SMG1/2, Batman AC, among soooo many more have great bosses.

The boss fights in Skyward Sword were amazing.

The boss fights in Dark/Demons Souls were also great!

The boss fights in Arkahm City were also great.

I enjoyed the boss in Bioshock.

The gym fights and elite four battles in Pokemon are always really good.

Couldn't you beat him by locking him into a pattern? I recall watching video of that boss fight where the player won easily just by doing jumping slashes over and over again.

Not exactly, Boss Battles varies and its not just about the difficulty.

What makes "Great" Boss Battles is the experience with them, what makes them different and so on.

Whether its the difficulty like Dark Souls, or always doing something new like Mario Galaxy 2, or just the overrall Experience like God Of War 3 and Asura's Wratch, its all in the moment and what exactly makes them bosses.

The scale was incredible. I still say GOW3 is still one of the most impressive games on console because of it. I will say that playing on the harder difficulties, I had quite a time with a couple of the parts on that game. When I say quite some time, I mean dying possibly 100-200 times. lol I'd like to see someone beat the Scorpion in less than 20 tries on hardest or even next to hardest difficulty. NOT easy. Heavenly Sword had cool bosses, Infamous, MGS4 and also Arkham City.

I wouldn't exactly call most of what we got this gen "boss fights". For the most part, they were either just powerful enemy encounters, or QTE cinematics.

It released after the start of the current generation, on a current generation console. I'm not sure what makes you think it was last gen. Sure, it was ported over, but any game released within the current generation, is a current generation game. It's based on chronological release, not ability of the console or what platform it was designed for.

naruske101
you missed sin & punishment: star successor, muramasa: the demon blade, and since most people don't play shmups I'm sure you've missed out on a lot of titles that have some pretty insane but satisfying boss fights.
