152761, 'Nother spin-off: Worst Boss fights
Posted by Numba_33, Fri Jun-06-08 09:18 AM
Off the top of my head, the last boss in Wrath of the Black Manta. Totally ruined what at the time was a great game, at least for me. For starters, dude looked like he was a jukebox/half-human hybrid. Didn't make any sense. And supposedly, you had to do an exact order of the ninja magic tricks to beat him. If you didn't do the ninja magic tricks right, you were killed automatically. Pretty wonky last battle.

226210, One thing that made that one bad
Posted by ncr2h, Sun Mar-21-10 03:05 PM
is that you have sooooo much ammo before that fight. When I fought Big Daddies (esp. in the beginning of the game) I had to be like "damn, I only got xx amount of electric ammo, 20 regular shotgun rounds, and then my machine gun". At the end of the game you could fire your guns for like half an hour straight and still have ammo for another gun.
226471, yeah. the Big Daddies got pretty easy about halfway through

But you're wrong about them being wack. I love the bosses, even though they're too easy. They're always really spectacular and over the top I get well excited. I remember all the bosses from Ocarina of Time like yesterday, the music change, the panning shots, and the name appearing. Cinematic.

Just doing the marathon things before the new game drops.

It's interesting though, seeing all the subtle clues that Octopus and Master Miller drop, that we all probably missed the first time around.

152817, It's a funny one, but remember that one Mysterio fight in Spidey 2?
Posted by James Peach, Fri Jun-06-08 03:59 PM
The one where he's robbing a bank, and you come in and this dude powers up three power bars! You're like, "OH SHIT, IT'S A TRAP!"

Then you hit him once and all three bars drain. LOL I love that part.

this is the one flaw with final fantasy 9 imo. kuja is cool and everything, but after you beat him, that random dude necron. He was definantly unneccisary. I mean, he was cool enough to look at, but they should have just made him the final trans. for kuja.

I never beat his shapeshifting ass. I always mauled the first form with my desert eagle, but then I ran out of ammo once he shifted forms and could never kill him.

So basically never beat the game.

All you have to do is shoot the two puppets and then proceed to murk her EASILY by firing one of the puppets at her and yanking on the strings....cmon now, far too easy.

Add to the fact that your AI-controlled characters for some reason don't revive dead party members, it can get frustrating as hell, so you gotta pray that the boss don't use certain moves. Win/lose sometimes really depend on your luck.

With that said, it feels pretty damn good when you've finally beaten the boss who you've had five gameovers on. RPGs with a challenge is always good.
