Hehehe. Yah! In Ninja Gaiden 2 the first boss that looks cool pisses me off real bad. It takes me 4 or 5 trys to kill him. EvilDude456

Really? Maybe you should try Acolyte... because that first boss is a cakewalk compared to the others.

As to the topic. I enjoy boss battles, they are what make RPG's great. They break up the pace, spike up the difficulty, and they usually push forward the story.

ng has always been hard what do you expect for them to change it now it worked before so why screw with it

I love boss battles, i think games would be alot worse off without bosses.

Boss battles challenge your skill of gaming and i couldnt imagine games without bosses or hard parts at the end of the game or levels.

Glad your not the one making games lol :lol:

mmmmmm, Gears of war, NInja Gaiden 1 and 2, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, The Witcher, AOC, Mass Effect, Vegas 2, etc...

tons of games still have bosses in them man

I live for boss battles.

Go play RE4, that is a prime example of how bosses should be, amazing encounters.

obviously boss battles r one of the reasons a game is fun

i wud not want to go through a whole game fighitng or killing random weak monsters

in an action/adventure game such as devil may cry, the boss battles r the only challenging factor

I don't know about you, but I think the original Halo did a great job of not including boss battles, but just throwing tons of regular enemies at you.

You need bosses, otherwise it would be so...anti-climactic.Mau-Justice

This is the problem. People expect to be able to beat a boss on their first try. Games have become too easy in recent years and people now think if a game, or part of a game, causes you to die then it's bad. It isn't bad. Bosses are supposed to be hard.

In Ninja Gaidens case, TC, I know this might be hard to believe but when you get better at NG you will actually start to look forward to the boss battles. They're awesome. It takes a while to get really good. I've played through Ninja Gaiden more times than I can count. If you die it's your fault. You aren't good enough yet.

If you're playing NGB once you start playing on hard you have to fight the boss and two or three normal enemies at the same time. It's crazy. Sounds impossible to someone new to these games but it isn't. I've completed NGB on hard.

the thing is "x-2tha-z" i just dont wanna invest that much time into it. i wanna be able to beat a boss on my 3rd or 4th time max. i dont care if i die a few times learning what the boss does, but when the camera is at an awkward angle and it makes it hard to judge how far and where exactly i'm jumping to i get pissed at the camera.

Well quit then. You've got two choices. Keep trying or quit. We all went through what you're going through when we first played Ninja Gaiden. Do you think you're the only person to find it hard? Maybe you should get Ninja Gaiden Black and play on easy mode (Ninja Dog).

yeah, ninja gaiden made me dislike boss battles, they're so frickin tough in that gameProspector

That big dragon in NG1, ZOMG i raged so hard trying to beat that thing, took like a billion tries. I could beat everything else fine but just that damn dragon ugh!!!!! Still boss battles are always epic.

KOTOR says hello... Zelda says hello... Metroid Prime says hello... Mass Effect says hello... Devil May Cry says hello....

need I go on?

try playing cod4 or halo 3. There's no boss to speak of, except an angry guilty spark, whos pethetically easy to kill.mohfrontline

I like boss battles.

They do have their problems:

Poor design is one,

and in realistic games is another.

Take the end of Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I feel that battle encompases both these aspects.

yes bosses arent suppose to be done in one try, its when it takes days to complete where i just couldnt care anymore, and it probably means im not good enough, but i dont have the time (or the patience) to play that much

Boss battles are alright unless those bosses are cheating s.o.b.s who kill you straight away

Boss battles are okay. Really depends on the game though, I hate when they get randomly shoved into places in some games. What would megaman be without boss battles

The thing about NG's bosses is they don't follow a pattern like bosses in other games. You have to keep watching it. It does give subtle signs about what it's going to do next.

The lava worm shouldn't be too hard to beat. You can block the move it does when it swoops down with its body. You're invincible for a short time when you roll so if you time your roll right the ring of fire it shoots at you won't hit you. Also, if you stand on the end of the right of the screen, just in front of the lava, when the worm swoops down it will completely miss you, once it's laying still just roll over to it and hit it as many times as you can with your DS then move back to the right of the screen.

If you got the windmill shurikan it will also inflict damage. Just keep throwing it at the worm while it's moving in and out of the doorway.
