Any boss in an enclosed space that is 3 times your size and moves faster than you. If there is one convention in video games that needs to die it's the boss fight.

The Dahaka in PoP Warrior Within was pretty annoying. I can't say I really enjoy boss fights.

Playing against RAAM in gears of war on insane difficulty. That was just ridiculous; you would have to get dozens of headshots with the snipe while avoiding reavers, kryll, and RAAM's enormous machine gun all whilst maneuving on the narrow top of a train. I enjoyed the fight in normal difficulty though. I love boss battles btw and think they should stay.

Vaelestraz, second boss in Blackwing Lair, in WoW. 40 man raid would get wiped in seconds, then we'd take like 30 min to reorganize and try again only to get wiped in seconds again, at the same time I love the boss, when we finally killed him after literally weeks of trying it felt REALLY good, nothing like have 40 dudes over Teamspeak screaming histerically =)

i was thinking the same.  took me forever to beat that SOB on insane.

the star destroyer in the force unleashed was just retarded,.  thought that would be the coolest part of the game and ended up being the lamest

You don'T like Boss fights?? Man...You haven'T been playing games for a long time i guess!

 

Actually I've been gaming longer than most people that post here. Boss Fights for the most part, are pretty much unchanged from the time that they where created to be used as a level transition. It's still for the most part:

1: Lock player one in to small room

2:Introduce large enemy with increased health, damage and damage resistance 

3.Use lame weak point as boss weakness

4. Wash rinse repeat. Make final boss larger and more cheap than the rest. 

I'm really tired of it. Most boss battles depend on cheap AI more than anything else and to me cheap AI isn't fun.

There are exceptions to the rule but goddamn they are few and far in between. I would rather see better level design and character interaction than just a run of the mill end level boss.

None in particular..It's just the concept that bugs me. It's very predicitible so ultimately, it just becomes disappointing.. Overall, I'm pretty good at playing through games, I just don't think that many boss battles are any fun.

As for boss battles I liked, I rather enjoyed the boss fights in Ninja Gaiden. Although they could be frustrating, I never felt like my character was being gimped to make the fight harder... The boss battles In MGS 4 were pretty good also..There are a lot of old school stuff that was cool like Gunstar heroes and Contra....

When done right I don't have a problem with them I guess, but I wish developers would look for newer ways to move along the story in their games.

Ruby Weapon. I never actually beat it. Maybe on my next playthrough.

Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2, though that was partially due to the sloppy controls in that game. Actually, there were a lot of really annoying boss fights in that game.

Some of the most annoying bosses (and sometimes difficult) are the bosses in the Crash Bandicoot games. In most boss fights you have to be very accurate and sometimes the controls don't allow you to do that. So maybe it's not the bosses themselves...

There are exceptions to the rule but goddamn they are few and far in between. I would rather see better level design and character interaction than just a run of the mill end level boss. 

If any SoTC fans saw this they would murder you. The game is just a collection of Boss battles, seperated by travelling, and a small amount of platforming. Great game. Seriously though, boss battles are great. They add variety, and can really add to a set piece if you're getting tired of fighting through the same enemies over and over again. Alot of Boss battles are just too cheap though. In alot of RPG's you get bosses in games like FF12 where the guys take hours to take down, and can kill you very quickly. That's just not fun. Stress does not equate to fun, espically after hours of grinding. Bosses which are actually quite unique and offer a real change of pace to the gameplay can be pretty fun though. I can't imagine MGS without boss fights, it would feel so pointless. Action/Adventure titles rely heavily on boos battles as well, so to remove that would kill the game. They don't belong in most shooters though, unless they can make them fun, like GeoW almost did (Cool set pieces, but frustrating or too easy, and just killed the pace.).

As for the hardest bosses I've actually played through, I would say RAAM from GeoW was pretty bad. Intense for about 5 minutes, then you realise it's just tedious running from one side to the other and trying to pull off head shots as quickly as possible, with the risk of dying at any moment.

I'm sure there's alot more, but that's all I can remember from this generation.

i agree hes defintley up there. raam was easy for me on insane i guess its because i figured out a fool proof strategy to beat him quickly and easily. and lastly the star destroyer scene in tfu was just stupid and a waste of time and disk space, it was supposed to be the best part but it sucked.

 

You didn't exactly name a boss yourself big guy.

i was just getting to that it would have 2 be SEPHIROTH on Kingdom Hearts 2!

I find most boss fights annoying. They usually turn into something thats totally different from the game itself, eg. Skorge in Gears 2 where all you do is chainsaw duel him and the to a lesser extent Gears 1 bosses where you just hit them with the HoD. I really liked the CoD4 campaign because it showed boss battles aren't needed.

LOL that game was amazing, I remember doing those crazy jumps and running into people and doing my thing, then bam yeti eat you!

Anyways, I'd have to say that red devil satin guy in ghost and goblins for NES or Mike Tyson in punchout. That guy was a beast.
