Okay, this is off topic and I'm derailing my own thread, but Metal Gear Rising is kind of shit. Has some cool ideas but the combat is clunky as **** and doesn't feel good to control at all. Good thing I played the demo before buying.

learn 2 parry. The game does a shitty job explaining how to play defensive (in fact that's been Platinum's big problem lately, they fucking SUCK at teaching you their game). Also the jump plus....y is a dodge offset move.

The game is the furthest thing from clunky or not feeling right in terms of control.

Yep, there's nothing wrong with the combat engine in Metal Gear Rising. It's far from clunky and pretty legit even though you could spam your way through most encounters.

The camera is the games' biggest issue (both in action and with its light stealth approaches), since parrying requires a more precise reaction to an animation telegraph than say a directional dodge that gives you invuln frames in most other games.

Clunky? I must have missed the memo.

Of those that I can remember:

  • All of the Uncharted Final bosses were lame
  • Dark Samus in Metroid Prime 3
  • The Imprisoned in Skyward Sword (3 times)
  • Killer Croc in Batman Arkham Asylum
  • Screaming Mantis in MGS4

Both MGS4 and Arkham Asylum had the most disappointing boss fights. Metroid Prime 3 too.

Joker in Arkham Asylum was worse than Killer Croc.

UGH. Love Binary Domain to death but this boss was TERRIBLE. Most of the fights in this game sucked.

-Deathstroke from Batman Arkham Origins. Deathstroke is supposed to be a fearsome and skilled combatant in the DC universe. It's a real shame they reduced the character to a series of extremely easy and horribly repetitive QTEs. It's just the same 3 sequences repeated 5-8 times each and Deathstroke is done with. The advertising for the game put him front and center and it turns out he's the first assassin you take out without any real tension or exploration of the character whatsoever. They threw the character away in every single way.

I just shook my head the whole time.

What is it with most games and final bosses? Is it because it's left for last? Is it because they blow their load in the beginning of the game? Is it because by the end of the game it's too hyped up?

Joker in Asylum is a total wtf. An excellent title that turns way too videogamey in the end, if that makes any sense. The final boss in Demons Souls is one of the easiest...in a game filled with hard bosses, okay.

Once you learn to parry the game becomes a breeze. Although the last boss fight with the Senator wasn't the most fun fight of the game as the fight went on a little too long (although it was kind of funny).

Drakengard 3 final boss was full of shit, 30 second unskippable cutscene followed by an 8 minute rhythm game where the camera fucked with you and if you missed a single time you had to start over.

It's actually hilarious how shitty this boss is

I recently picked up Skull Girls and really did not like the final fight in that game's story mode. It's not worst of the gen or anything, but it's still on my mind. The rest of the game seems pretty nice so far, though.

Every now and then you get one that is truly amazing, though. It seems like old games got it right more often, but that is probably just because I only remember the good old games.

Luckily I didn't play too many shit games last gen. This boss just flat out sucked though.

Loading Video...

Also, gonna catch some hate for this, but the final boss fight in MGS4. Everyone got their panties soaked over the nostalgia of it all, but failed to see that the boss fight itself sucked a fat one. Final fight of the game and they replace the controls with the most bullshit fisher price fighting mechanics ever blended with QTE.

The presentation was great. The nostalgia was there for those who get high as **** on fan service. The actual boss fight sucked balls.

OMG I forgot about this. I think it was so awful it was like a traumatizing memory and it just hid in the back of my mind but yes.This is hands down one of if not the worst boss fight in gaming history. the camra gets god awful. The colors mesh together so its hard to see the notes and the cheap part where it goes black and you think its done but nope you can still fail. THe developers also had the balls to make you start all over if you fail. I loved the music in this part but that was the only thing to love at this part. I almost quit the game cause of this. It took me 2-3 days to beat this one part.

I highly disagree. The only boss fight I really liked was the very last one.

Bowser in the Super Mario Galaxy series. I remember him being tougher than this in older games, but why, since SMS did he become such a wuss? They didn't even improve that AT ALL in Mario Galaxy 2.

Bioshock's final boss was a let down too. Dang shame as I liked the rest of the game.

Fontaine from Bioshock was a pretty dissapointing final boss fight.

Also there was the Final Boss from Sonic Generations and Arkham Asylum had a very poor final boss and also another one that springs to mind is the final boss from Assassins Creed 2.

You were in some kind of zero gravity situation, drifting towards the boss and once you got close you had to mash prompted button.

Probably not the worst boss fight in the last few years though.

I dont get what was wrong with Bed of Chaos (other than the solution is kinda literally a leap of faith). Its a Puzzle Boss (with no clues) and puzzle bosses are awesome.... mostly.

Nier had some really uninteresting boss fights, it was such a forgettable game.

Uncharted 2 last boss was lame

That's all I can't think of since I didn't even hate the ones in deus ex hr

Bowser was anti-climatic, but he is just super easy in every Mario game. Nintendo really should work on that.

I didnt do much of the VR missions. I got the PC version which apparently has all the DLCs included. I just went through the campaign rather thoroughly, found the optional codec banter rather enjoyable in a funny way.

Ugggh, it's like trying to beat a Shadow Of The Colossus boss without a grab button.

Seconds to the ghost lady in Bioshock Infinite. The nerve they had repeating that boss a further two times.

Killzone 2 - Final level with Radec. Too hard even on easy difficulty. One small room against 20 guys with rocket launchers, shotguns and snipers all firing on you and you having no cover..... SERIOUSLY!?!?!??! I gave up.

Heavenly Sword - Bohan. He has 3 forms before death. First 2 are a push over. Never beat the 3rd form. Too hard. Forget that game.

Not last gen, but can I just mention how terribly easy all the boss characters are in Shante and the Pirate's Curse?

Great game either way.

Oh, and MGS4 has some terrible boss fights, but Metal Gear Rising is amazing.

That Skyward Sword boss indeed blows.
