Games you liked but we're dissapointed with final boss battle (Spoiler Alert)

I thought the final boss battles in Alan Wake and Batman could have been better. Games were still great though despite the lackluster endings.

Mass effect2. sigh.

Batman, Gears 2, Borderlands, NG2, ME1+2 and dragon age.

By far, the worst and I mean WORST in history goes to Fable II. Beyond that, there's Uncharted, Condemned and Gears 2.

Gears 2

I'm suppriced that i don't see Final Fantasy XIII here, people complane how last stage of it was deam easy

But for real? Uncharted 1 and 2,with marking on UC1 that was practicly QTE battle :P

I LOVED ME2 but the very final bit was a let down, felt silly, also Bioshock.blue_hazy_basic

SPOILERS

MGS4- all the pacing of the game changed in the last 30 min of gameplay (yes, i know that's about five hours of the game... ha ha), and then that stupid mike tyson's punchout thing on top of the boat that in no way used any of the mechanics from the rest of the game.

Killzone 2- the end boss was too different from the battles throughout the rest of the game. maybe if the fight wasn't so long range through most of it and you could see damage or if there was more personality in the characters it would have more impact but it just seemed to be so generic of old arcade games. might as well have been contra or rush'n attack. wait for pattern to emerge... attack... attack... boss regroups... wash rinse repeat.

p.s. i liked killzone 2, i did not like MGS4.

No More Heroes 2. Great game all around but the last boss wasn't memorable for me. The boss before him though is probably one of my favorite bosses in a videogame period though :P.

Fable 2, and Mass Effect 2!

Uncharted/Uncharted 2

Fable 2

I didnt find Bioshocks final boss to be dissapointing?

Gears of War 2 has the most rediculous final boss in the history of final bosses.

Are you serious? MGS4's final boss fight was freaking epic.

UC2 wasn't great but Batman AA took the cake, epic game, but the final fight with the Joker was a lame letdown.

God of War (the first one).

Final Fantasy 13...Easy as cake compared to the previous bosses, not to mention he talks a lot and you can beat him in under 5 minutes w/out a fully devveloped team.

Arkham Asylum was a little silly, and Fable 2's was just not rigt.

Everyone is always mixed up about the final "boss". Its a representation of what would come to those with a lust for power. King allant is the final boss. Just saying, because that blob is a joke no doubt, but its not supposed to be the boss.

antifanboyftw

are we really debating this? I don't feel like getting into the post hypnotic suggestion crap... would covering that crap make it seem any better? The fact that the game switches all mechanics and turns into a fighting game is my point. it wasn't epic.

fadersdream

yes it was!

and yes, i know, it's whatever i say!

I really hate boss battles. Rarely are they done properly. It usually amounts to:

A. Stick a player in a closed area with horrible maneuverability options.

B. Add a monster with 90 bazillion hit points or my favorite, multiple health bars. Even better is the multiple form boss.

C. Make the aforementioned boss much faster than you even though it's the size of a house.

It was fun the first thousand times I did it. I'm thinking maybe there should be better ways to move the story forward in video games.

Alan wake, Arkham Asylum and god of war III, that boss fight just went on and on with Kratos bashing in his head every time. All the other boss fights before it were great

Gears 2 of course.

Alan Wake too.

Not trying to insult your intelligence, but if you got better ideas, send some devs a blueprint lol. There are only so many ways to go about with a boss battles, and even the truly unique ones, often borrow from the general ideas you laid out. They are meant to be bosses anyway. Cant have it just end after killing one million troops( haha ), or stepping on half a thousand turtles.

Dont get me wrong though, I fully agree. There just isnt much of a way around this obstacle, so I accept it and take joy in the ones that were at least decently put together.
