@XIIIthHARBINGER All battles fall flat in all Bethesda games. The devs of these games put little to no effort into the combat. Sad, cause if they had good and engaging combat, they would go down as legends. But, they will only be known as good, maybe great; but not legendary...
@@Azriel884 There a couple of bosses in Skyrim specifically that are actually pretty decent, though they don't feel like proper boss fights either way.
Resident Evil 7's Evelyn. The biggest slap in the face was how eerie and exciting the others had been, especially the elevating tension and fear every time you fight Jack. Then you fight a blob monster that goes down with less than one magazine from a pistol?
The Didact had so much potential....the build up, the speech, the look....And you literally push him over. They made him look like a fucking badass who'd be there for a good while, but you just shoved him into the void after 5 minutes.
@@RedEyesTops I feel that was part of the issue though. As powerful as the Didact was there was never going to be a good fight with him, there would be no way in the games FPS format.
YES! I hated that and it upset me because I was like “this is a great parkour ending and it’s so massive and cool” but then the devs are like “hey, let’s build up suspense and make this big map!” Then a worker says “but boss we can’t make a big map and have a big boss fight” then the boss says “we’ll just make a QTE players won’t like it but they might enjoy the parkour part...
He was a shite boss, but the story wasn't why I really enjoyed Dying Light anyway. It was more like they made the game and figured people wanted a boss, so just threw that in.
This is mine as well. It would have been ok if they had done any QTE bits before in the game, but that was the only boss to have it. It's unfortunate, because other than that one fight, I thought it was an amazing game.
Yu Yevon in Final Fantasy 10. 1) Having auto-life in the battle, you pretty much can't die to the boss. 2) Despite having Yu Pagodas to heal any damage you do to him in the fight, you can cast the Zombie status on him and have his Yu Pagodas electrocute him while you pour on your damage, on top of the damage his Gravija spell does to him. 3) You can cast a spell to inflict the Doom status on him which kills him instantly in three turns. Seriously.... The game should have simply ended with the final Aeon of Lord Braska and the fight shouldn't have been left in the game. It's as pointless a fight as True King Allant in Demon's Souls.
i loved that. i said to my friend "this game has a ladder in it that you must climb..... and it's that long that it has its own song start playing as you ascend it".
talbot from uncharted 3 so underwhelming after getting through the amazing story leading up to this final battle. and on brutal or even crushing..don't get me started
Arkham Knight, the part in that freaking tunnel! It wasn't even hard, it was just underwhelming and annoying. The previous Arkham games had so many great boss battles. But Arkham Knight lacked good bosses. I was looking forward to fighting hand to hand, Deathstroke style. But nope, all I got was 2 tank battles and a stealth battle. Which is bullshit!
I almost quit out of principle during that. I still haven't got the 'proper' ending on that game because the Batmobile stuff fucked me off so much so I never finished enough of the side quests. I really wanted to love that game but I was just so disappointed in it by the end.
Batman arkham knight and deathstroke. Rocksteady: so we have got 2 very skilled martial artists who are very dangerous and experienced in all forms of weaponry and fighting. WE HAVE AN IDEA. LETS PUT THEM INSIDE A TANK
The batmobile shite was just that, shite. It should of just been a fast vehicle for getting around and chasing, intercepting or running away from enemies. You know like the batmobile. If they wanted to make it a tank, make it a slow plodding tank like The Dark Night Return books
I really love watching videos like this from you guys, so keep'em coming. Also, I want to say that I absolutely adore Rach and she has become my favorite person on WhatCulture Gaming.
Darksiders 3: Gluttony He has an obscene amount of health, a super small window to lay down damage, and super long cycles to reach that window. And then to top it off, he has a second stage which requires a mastery of their clunky water mechanics to beat...
I'd say the warrior from borderlands 2 like I love borderlands 2 it's my favorite game of all time but the warrior is so easy to cheese like you run off to the right and hit the ammo refill thing and shoot the thing until it's dead
For me it’s wesker in re5, the first phase is just overly drawn out and a pain in the ass if you’re solo (shevas ai) and over simplistic with a partner. Then the volcano is just tedious and no challenge aside from qte’s.
Derek Simmons from RE6, talk about a boss that quickly wears out its welcome. It was obvious that they were trying to recreate a William Birkin where he constantly changes forms, but the different forms he kept changing to just didn’t make sense (whereas William was mutating in response to the injuries he kept receiving from battling Leon, Claire, Ada and Hunk) and the fact that he was just a giant bullet sponge just made you wanting it to end after his bizarre T-Rex form to a giant house fly from
I’m not sure which boss is the worst. But I will say the most difficult boss I have faced is the Spider Mastermind on Nightmare Difficultlyin DOOM 2016.
The final final boss of Final Fantasy 10 might be a fair contender. You do get 3 pretty good bosses before it, but beating up a giant tick who can't even kill you doesn't even make for a good "interactive cutscene". And that actually reminds me of Final Fantasy 13, final boss was decent, RNG insta-Death that Game Overs you if it hits your party leader is not.
The boss from Two Worlds, that broken mess, he shows up at the beginning of the game and if you punch him the villagers can mob him to death. That or the first boss from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, he litteraly grenade spams while being immune to his own explosions.
Navarro from Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. First time I can remember fighting a boss that incorporates quick time events. You had to fight through three waves of his goon while he spammed a infinite ammo shotgun, and if you died at any point, even to some BS exploding barrels out of nowhere, you gotta start the whole fight over. Then again, I platinumed that game twice...
ESO: Lord Warden Dusk on hard mode. You spend much more time running after him as he teleports around rather than actually fighting him - all the while trying to avoid several different paths to insta-death.
bloody crow of cainhurst i kinda easy to beat, you can cheese him, but what i usually do is to press forward until you push him into a corner and then he can no longer dodge you and you can hit him before he heals. having a fast weapon makes him a lot easier
I’m so glad someone said Lucien from Fable 2. When it happened I thought it was funny but was like “ok so where’s the real final boss battle?” Only to discover that actually was it!
Aside from the Bed in Dark Souls, there's a boss in Tales of Vesperia. He's difficult by himself, but when he's about to die, he's cheap. He heals himself, AND he has a devastating, unavoidable AoE attack that will kill your team at full health that he just spams like it's a normal attack. His name is Alexei.
It‘s Zhaitan from the Guild Wars 2 Base Game. The last quest was originally meant to done by 5 players after fighting through a long dungeon only to have him killed with cannons that you don‘t even have to aim.... you just press 1
The mountain turtle thing from final fantasy 15. That thing took me 5 hours to beat. The sun literally set in real life while playing this boss. It was actually more difficult than it looks because you need the stamina and the concentration that only a drug that isnt from this planet can give you. When I beat it, I judged myself for doing it becasue I was told prior that it was a wickedly long boss fight that goes into the hours.
The last boss from Lost Planet. One second you're playing Lost Planet, then for some reason you're playing some Gundam wing style game with completely different mechanics against a very difficult boss.
Ever boss fight in Donkey Kong Country. The game gets crazy hard at some points. But when you reach the boss fights you'll be like "Is that seriously it!? Is that all!?"
Judge Doom from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Difficult to the point impossible to the point of game breaking. Runner up: Bowser in Mario 64. During the grab-by-tail, spin, and release, I kept throwing him in the wrong direction because the game didn't understand how physics worked. Why did Bowser keep falling outward from the way is his head was pointing upon release? That's 90 degree off from where he should be going! How could the devs not understand how THROWING WORKS!?
What I found hilarious about fable 2 was that you can literally have all 3 wishes. Choose sacrifice, go to the DLC island and bring your Dog back and as for the money you can make a million gold in one sitting if you know the right glitches and methods. .
Gill from Street Fighter III: Third Strike. His offensive super arts are crazy powerful and the other restores his health. Even if you manage to interrupt the process, he’s already gained at least some of it back.
Hades from Horizon Zero Dawn.... I expect something big like Mecha-Godzilla or Giant Mecha-Spinosaurus or something but all i got is two ordinary spider-robot thing. Such a huge let down.
How does a sonic game make this list and no one mentions Silver "it's no use" the Hedgehog?! That boss is literally broken, he won't even kill you just keeps throwing you in such a way you keep regaining one ring.
Amalgam Alpha from The Evil Within. Bullet sponge, runs faster than you, gains a super difficult to dodge instakill attack at low health. After getting eaten no less then five times with no idea what to do to improve, I lowered the difficulty, intending to turn it back after the fight. Then I discovered that I couldn't turn the difficulty back up. I sold the game within the hour.
El Sueño from Ghost Recon Wildlands. You've killed all his associates and there is so many of them and then you face the main boss . You don't even get to fight him and the game is over.
Josh Brown! I know you won't see this but I had the exact same problem. I tried changing all of my tactics to beat that guy but nothing seemed to work time and time again. Then one time I just elongated the ax and spammed him with the hard, spin attack. He was dead in 45 seconds and I only had to use two health items. Prior to this he had to have killed me at least 50 times.
Colonel Autumn, Fallout 3. The guy's killed your father, forced you to flee project purity, and what do you do? Well, since the combat's terrible, you enter VATS, aim for the head, and kill him. His guards are more of a threat
Bloodborne: Witches of Hemwick Dark Souls: Bed of Chaos Dark Souls 2: Blue Smelter Demon Demon Souls: True King Allant Dark Souls 3: Crystal Sage I see a pattern here
Before clicking in, I immediately thought of Lucían in Fable 2. The big lead up in what (in my view) was a brilliant game otherwise, you’ve fought through other bosses, and the whole scene is so atmospheric that it makes you think ‘right - here it comes!’ And then before any fight begins, Stephen Fry’s character shoots him dead. Because I was being polite and waiting for Lucian to finish speaking. Even when I replayed and fired a shot first .....that’s it? Really? Good call, Ash. It was uncharacteristically rubbish.
The vampire woman on DMC3, three times you think you've almost beaten her she gives an unstoppable chomp on your neck to drain your health bar & replenish hers. Those health orbs cost a fortune by he time you reach her level!!
missy prime that move is incredibly easy to evade. Jump and keep yourself airborne by shooting (though it can be done without the shooting). If you get caught, activate devil trigger to immediately escape... Or just be in DT and she can't grab you. If any dmc boss has to be chosen, then the invisible fish in Devil May Cry 2 has to take it, especially on dmd difficulty. Don't get me wrong, it isn't earth-shatteringly hard or anything, it is just frustrating and annoying, plus the underwater combat just isn't that fun.
Hardest boss: The end fight to Beyond Good & Evil, great game but the last fight was infuriatingly hard, about halfway through it inverts your controls and blurs the screen. And God in Silent Hill 3, who may not be that hard but to this day I have never beat, I have save right before the final fight but I always run out off ammo and ampoules or whatever the healing items were called. Most disappointing- Deathstroke in Arkham Knight, and Mother in Rogue Galaxy, still have never beat Mother because the end battle takes FOREVER, and if you die you have to go back to your last save, right before the fight. So I try and when I die I just turn off the console, I don't have the energy to try it again immediately after.
I find it so interesting that the Arkham games made it on this (and many other lists) TWICE, and yet it’s still held up as one of the best game series in the last decade. How praised would they be if their bosses lived up to the rest of the game?
The first Diablo. Just endless Apocalypse spells in your face, no changing it up, just relentless boom boom boom. Then he's dead, you carve the soul gem out and doom yourself in a cut scene. End of game. No treasure, accolades, or anything, just fade out. And then they did it again in D2, before the Lord of Darkness extra chapter, but even then, fucking Tyrael takes over. It's the lack of player agency that gets me.
frau angel from wolfenstein the new colossus. hyped up over two games to be a super evil powerful woman and the "fight" is you walking up to her and pressing the melee button...
Batman arkham knight and deathstroke. Rocksteady: so we have got 2 very skilled martial artists who are very dangerous and experienced in all forms of weaponry and fighting. WE HAVE AN IDEA. LETS PUT THE INSIDE A TANK
Shang Tsung from the original Mortal Kombat because he is weak-sauce compared to Goro except when he shape-shifts into Goro to which he then becomes a formidable opponent, but it feels a bit redundant. The character lore is very cool but the execution itself deserves fatality.
Excluding QTE and cutscene enemies who should have been bosses but weren't (looking especially at you, Didact from Halo 4), Silver from Sonic 06 takes the cake. Getting stuck in an infinite loop of being telekinetically slammed is incredibly cheap and infuriating, and considering there is no attack animation to dodge as it just happens instantly with no indication of if you're at risk, the odds you'll avoid this happening to you barely even exist. This is even worse than Bed Of Souls and the dreaded floor of RNG.
I love Arkham Knight so much, it was my favorite superhero game until the newest Spider-Man came out. That said, you didn't even pick the worst of the 3 Arkham Knight fights, the Batmobile stealth section against the Cloudburst tank. A race to avoid his drill tank, fine, stealth section to take him out, fine, those aren't so bad. The Batmobile going into stealth mode against this beast of a tank is the worst part of the game for me. It's the only part i dread having to play whenever i go through the game because its just so terrible.
Murai from Ninja Gaiden was disappointing as a final boss. I mean you go to hell face off against the Vigorian Emperor (as it's throwing fiery skulls at you) then you meet the mastermind of this whole thing. The one who burned your village, killed you people, sent you on the chase to kill Doku (who, if memory serves possesses you at one point), has you face off against possessed warriors, a corrupt military as the village sleeps and the dead while possessed warrior transforms into a giant spider the second time around to fight you alongside them. Your final boss is Murai, who set it all in motion to take you damn sword and even demonically powered up you believe you're in for a fight. A couple of flying swallows later he's done. I haven't been disappointed worse by a boss since. Hell, the first level of Ninja Gaiden II with the statue kicked my butt and it was the first level!
The last boss in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, great game, tough enemies, really tough bosses, the last boss is a giant stone soldier that looks really cool and he's armed with...... a sword.... and you have guns
Flame Hyenard from Mega Man X7! In a game full of some of the worst voiceacting ever put in a game, we have a boss that WILL NOT SHUT UP throughout the entire fight with him! It's not hard at all, but the entire fight becomes a test in patience... You can only hear the distorted voice of Hyenard yelling "BURN!" and "Burn to the ground!" so many times before either going insane, or shutting off the sound for the game for this fight especially...
For me, it's a tossup. In terms of most disappointing, I'm going with Nemeroth from Space Marine. I love 40k and I loved that game. But after being built up as the final boss, the bossfight was fighting through a horde of his minions, only to end in one giant QTE. For cheapest boss, I say Maltheal from Diablo 3 ROS. For a new player levelling from 60 - 70 who doesn't quite have all the gear yet, his bossfight was just ass. Small arena, and several high damaging AOE attacks. It's managable until you get to the second phase where he starts spawning multiple clouds that can kill you in seconds. And did I mention that the moment you come out of the cutscene (midway through the bossfight), you almost immediately start with a cloud spawned on you? Because you do. And while you're trying to avoid the clouds to get an angle on him, he can charge you from offscreen.
I would personally say the shocker from Batman Arkham origins. It could have been a pretty awesome boss battle but he just gets taken down in one punch. It’s not like he even makes it difficult for you to punch him. All you have to do is basically walk up to him and attack I wish they allowed you to do video comments on here because I think text doesn’t convey my frustration for that particular boss
For me it was the last boss on killzone 2 on hardest difficulty. Yes it was hard but so was the rest of it. The worst thing about it is how excessively slow paced the fight is. No vantage point, barely any cover. Some failed attempts left me feeling cheated. Damage output was inconsistent. There’s also the time spent learning about where the adds are coming from or your dead in seconds.
Not sure if it counts but Wally from Pokémon ruby/sapphire/emerald. Unless you've done a terrible job raising your team, battling him always leaves me like, "but why tho?".
I remember Argosax The Chaos being incredibily dull in Devil May Cry 2. Basically made up of previous bosses in a big blob. Only good part of the boss fight is when you beat it and fight The Despair Embodied
Chef Antoine from Dead Rising 2. Massive damage with a large knockdown effect that lets him run away and refill his health bar to artificially lengthen the fight? Just putrid.
Fighting magneto in the X-Men game for the Sega Genesis, it took a lot of patience and timing but he could be beaten after about 20 minutes of fighting
Looks like Jules is channeling his Vegan powers today. Much like that evil ex from Scott Pilgrim. Who's for a sandwich?
Me!
Haha I love Ash she always looks like a Vampire to me......oh yeah sandwiches!!!!

I actually love the oil ocean Sonic Mania boss. I'd even go and say it's my favorite.
Nooooooooo that's the ultimate heel turn ever. I would die if I were vegan or vegetarian
Alduin from Skyrim, everyone in the game's afraid of him and you kill him in a dew hits
Kuro Kage thats pretty much on the difficulty, I do admit though his boss fight could of been more hype
Kuro Kage fr the grand priest you fight before him was harder😂

Sauron in Shadow of Mordor. Now *THAT'S* a disappointment, especially considering how good the rest of the game is.

All that hype for quick time events. So stupid.

The Bed of Bullsh*t from Dark Souls.
Not Elsa noice
Didact, Halo 4, hands down the most disappointing boss fight ever.
Right!!!! So much build up for a freaking cut scene 👿
I just said the same thing. Fucking horrendous.
Halo 4 had so much wasted potential that by the time I reached the boss, I wasn’t even surprised it sucked. :(

Bed of Chaos, hands down

Yu Yevon in Final Fantasy 10.

Hades from Horizon Zero Dawn.... I expect something big like Mecha-Godzilla or Giant Mecha-Spinosaurus or something but all i got is two ordinary spider-robot thing. Such a huge let down.
How does a sonic game make this list and no one mentions Silver "it's no use" the Hedgehog?!
That boss is literally broken, he won't even kill you just keeps throwing you in such a way you keep regaining one ring.
Xenomorph queen from Colonial Marines.
A few buttons, a cutscene, finished.
MOST UNSATISFYING BOSS FIGHT EVER
Amalgam Alpha from The Evil Within. Bullet sponge, runs faster than you, gains a super difficult to dodge instakill attack at low health. After getting eaten no less then five times with no idea what to do to improve, I lowered the difficulty, intending to turn it back after the fight. Then I discovered that I couldn't turn the difficulty back up.
I sold the game within the hour.
So glad someone said the final boss from Fable 2. Still makes my skin crawl.
I think making Arkham Knight Damian Wayne after showing all the Jason Todd stuff would've been an amazing twist
El Sueño from Ghost Recon Wildlands. You've killed all his associates and there is so many of them and then you face the main boss . You don't even get to fight him and the game is over.
Josh Brown! I know you won't see this but I had the exact same problem. I tried changing all of my tactics to beat that guy but nothing seemed to work time and time again. Then one time I just elongated the ax and spammed him with the hard, spin attack. He was dead in 45 seconds and I only had to use two health items. Prior to this he had to have killed me at least 50 times.
Colonel Autumn, Fallout 3. The guy's killed your father, forced you to flee project purity, and what do you do? Well, since the combat's terrible, you enter VATS, aim for the head, and kill him. His guards are more of a threat
Combat *was* ok. It was just too easy to gimp yourself.
Bloodborne: Witches of Hemwick
Dark Souls: Bed of Chaos
Dark Souls 2: Blue Smelter Demon
Demon Souls: True King Allant
Dark Souls 3: Crystal Sage
I see a pattern here
Blue Smelter Demon was great! Frustrating as all unholy hell, but when you finally beat him it was awesome.
Before clicking in, I immediately thought of Lucían in Fable 2. The big lead up in what (in my view) was a brilliant game otherwise, you’ve fought through other bosses, and the whole scene is so atmospheric that it makes you think ‘right - here it comes!’ And then before any fight begins, Stephen Fry’s character shoots him dead. Because I was being polite and waiting for Lucian to finish speaking. Even when I replayed and fired a shot first .....that’s it? Really? Good call, Ash. It was uncharacteristically rubbish.
When I saw the title I instantly thought of Joker from Batman AA
The vampire woman on DMC3, three times you think you've almost beaten her she gives an unstoppable chomp on your neck to drain your health bar & replenish hers. Those health orbs cost a fortune by he time you reach her level!!
missy prime that move is incredibly easy to evade. Jump and keep yourself airborne by shooting (though it can be done without the shooting). If you get caught, activate devil trigger to immediately escape... Or just be in DT and she can't grab you. If any dmc boss has to be chosen, then the invisible fish in Devil May Cry 2 has to take it, especially on dmd difficulty. Don't get me wrong, it isn't earth-shatteringly hard or anything, it is just frustrating and annoying, plus the underwater combat just isn't that fun.
Kreia from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2. Old woman and 3 floating lightsabers chasing after you. Sigh.
Hardest boss: The end fight to Beyond Good & Evil, great game but the last fight was infuriatingly hard, about halfway through it inverts your controls and blurs the screen. And God in Silent Hill 3, who may not be that hard but to this day I have never beat, I have save right before the final fight but I always run out off ammo and ampoules or whatever the healing items were called. Most disappointing- Deathstroke in Arkham Knight, and Mother in Rogue Galaxy, still have never beat Mother because the end battle takes FOREVER, and if you die you have to go back to your last save, right before the fight. So I try and when I die I just turn off the console, I don't have the energy to try it again immediately after.
Allo, Ms. Rach! Always a mention of Dark Souls, even if just in passing...love it!!! Thanks to all of you for the video, and cheers from Arizona! :)
Allo Colby! Thanks for watching ^_^
@@DontRachQuit I subbed. Where are you from in Scotland? I'm from Glasgow sadly. 😂
Worst boss: The Destroyer, from Borderlands.
All that buildup, for something with neither difficulty nor AI.
I find it so interesting that the Arkham games made it on this (and many other lists) TWICE, and yet it’s still held up as one of the best game series in the last decade. How praised would they be if their bosses lived up to the rest of the game?
The first Diablo. Just endless Apocalypse spells in your face, no changing it up, just relentless boom boom boom. Then he's dead, you carve the soul gem out and doom yourself in a cut scene. End of game. No treasure, accolades, or anything, just fade out. And then they did it again in D2, before the Lord of Darkness extra chapter, but even then, fucking Tyrael takes over. It's the lack of player agency that gets me.
*The Goldfish in Earthworm Jim 2*
I mean, really?
I went through all these obstacles and this is how the final boss plays?
The boss fight was getting there.
“The goldfish” how disrespectful
Earthworm Jim was great! It was like Abe's Odyssey but fun!
frau angel from wolfenstein the new colossus. hyped up over two games to be a super evil powerful woman and the "fight" is you walking up to her and pressing the melee button...
Mad Mel in the original Borderlands. He seemed hard at first, but you can get out of your vehicle to kill him in about four shots from a good gun.
Batman arkham knight and deathstroke.
Rocksteady: so we have got 2 very skilled martial artists who are very dangerous and experienced in all forms of weaponry and fighting.
WE HAVE AN IDEA. LETS PUT THE INSIDE A TANK
Exactly. We got the one in origins which was one of the best fights in the whole series and then they go and do that
Jinpachi from Tekken 5. You don't know rage until you are stun locked and perfected back to back
Yes yes yes fuckin jinpachi
Dr Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot 2. Fly through some rings, spin, rinse and repeat.
The last “boss” in AC2. Literally just 10 minutes of, repeatedly, kicking him in the balls!
IKR
Yeah, kinda disappointing
Ezio didn't even kill the bitch
and his son retaliates in brotherhood.
Shang Tsung from the original Mortal Kombat because he is weak-sauce compared to Goro except when he shape-shifts into Goro to which he then becomes a formidable opponent, but it feels a bit redundant.
The character lore is very cool but the execution itself deserves fatality.
Agreed, goro took forever to beat, smashed shang first try. At least shao can be deliciously cheap in a fight, give you a real struggle.
Excluding QTE and cutscene enemies who should have been bosses but weren't (looking especially at you, Didact from Halo 4), Silver from Sonic 06 takes the cake. Getting stuck in an infinite loop of being telekinetically slammed is incredibly cheap and infuriating, and considering there is no attack animation to dodge as it just happens instantly with no indication of if you're at risk, the odds you'll avoid this happening to you barely even exist. This is even worse than Bed Of Souls and the dreaded floor of RNG.
I love Arkham Knight so much, it was my favorite superhero game until the newest Spider-Man came out. That said, you didn't even pick the worst of the 3 Arkham Knight fights, the Batmobile stealth section against the Cloudburst tank. A race to avoid his drill tank, fine, stealth section to take him out, fine, those aren't so bad. The Batmobile going into stealth mode against this beast of a tank is the worst part of the game for me. It's the only part i dread having to play whenever i go through the game because its just so terrible.
Joker from Arkham Asylum was the first thing that came to mind when I read the title
Murai from Ninja Gaiden was disappointing as a final boss. I mean you go to hell face off against the Vigorian Emperor (as it's throwing fiery skulls at you) then you meet the mastermind of this whole thing. The one who burned your village, killed you people, sent you on the chase to kill Doku (who, if memory serves possesses you at one point), has you face off against possessed warriors, a corrupt military as the village sleeps and the dead while possessed warrior transforms into a giant spider the second time around to fight you alongside them. Your final boss is Murai, who set it all in motion to take you damn sword and even demonically powered up you believe you're in for a fight. A couple of flying swallows later he's done.
I haven't been disappointed worse by a boss since. Hell, the first level of Ninja Gaiden II with the statue kicked my butt and it was the first level!
The Leader from "Incredible Hulk" on Sega Genesis. Shortest (and funniest) final boss fight EVER!! 😂😂😂😂
10,000 subscribers away from a million!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@WhatCultureGaming Great job gang!
Well hey it’s handsome jack, back from the dead is it eh?, well sorry off topic I’ll go...
The last boss in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, great game, tough enemies, really tough bosses, the last boss is a giant stone soldier that looks really cool and he's armed with...... a sword.... and you have guns
Handsome Jack an the Warrior from Borderlands 2. Talk about a cake walk.
Bowser. Easily. You beat him by jumping into an axe.
Rach : I'm not gunna talk about it this time
*talks about it.
I love darksouls too I feel it.
Zorah Magdaros..
WHERE'S MY DRAGONATOR!
Flame Hyenard from Mega Man X7!
In a game full of some of the worst voiceacting ever put in a game, we have a boss that WILL NOT SHUT UP throughout the entire fight with him! It's not hard at all, but the entire fight becomes a test in patience...
You can only hear the distorted voice of Hyenard yelling "BURN!" and "Burn to the ground!" so many times before either going insane, or shutting off the sound for the game for this fight especially...
Did Jules become James macavoy in this video for like two seconds
Dr, Kahl's robot for being insultingly broken and unfair in the last phase
Ash is so attractive it hurts. It´s like falling in love in a dream
Ace alright Simp
For me, it's a tossup. In terms of most disappointing, I'm going with Nemeroth from Space Marine. I love 40k and I loved that game. But after being built up as the final boss, the bossfight was fighting through a horde of his minions, only to end in one giant QTE.
For cheapest boss, I say Maltheal from Diablo 3 ROS. For a new player levelling from 60 - 70 who doesn't quite have all the gear yet, his bossfight was just ass. Small arena, and several high damaging AOE attacks. It's managable until you get to the second phase where he starts spawning multiple clouds that can kill you in seconds. And did I mention that the moment you come out of the cutscene (midway through the bossfight), you almost immediately start with a cloud spawned on you? Because you do. And while you're trying to avoid the clouds to get an angle on him, he can charge you from offscreen.
I would personally say the shocker from Batman Arkham origins. It could have been a pretty awesome boss battle but he just gets taken down in one punch. It’s not like he even makes it difficult for you to punch him. All you have to do is basically walk up to him and attack
I wish they allowed you to do video comments on here because I think text doesn’t convey my frustration for that particular boss
For me it was the last boss on killzone 2 on hardest difficulty. Yes it was hard but so was the rest of it. The worst thing about it is how excessively slow paced the fight is. No vantage point, barely any cover. Some failed attempts left me feeling cheated. Damage output was inconsistent. There’s also the time spent learning about where the adds are coming from or your dead in seconds.
I really like these videos good work. GO TEAM!!!!
Not sure if it counts but Wally from Pokémon ruby/sapphire/emerald. Unless you've done a terrible job raising your team, battling him always leaves me like, "but why tho?".
Some of these are not even bosses...
I remember Argosax The Chaos being incredibily dull in Devil May Cry 2. Basically made up of previous bosses in a big blob. Only good part of the boss fight is when you beat it and fight The Despair Embodied
Mysterious Figure from the PAL PSP version of Birth By Sleep.
They nerfed him in the PSP Final Mix.
They nerfed him even more in the HD Remix.
Chef Antoine from Dead Rising 2. Massive damage with a large knockdown effect that lets him run away and refill his health bar to artificially lengthen the fight? Just putrid.
Fighting magneto in the X-Men game for the Sega Genesis, it took a lot of patience and timing but he could be beaten after about 20 minutes of fighting
Whoa I haven't recalled that in years, kudos
