What are your favourite final bosses in vidya? The only rule is that they have to be the final boss. Secret bosses count too, as long as the credits roll right after the fight.For me it's:>Eigong - Nine Sols>The Boss - MGS3>Azel - God Hand (kinda cheating but he's the real final boss for me)>Ryuji Goda - Yakuza 2>Armstrong - MGR >Brock Mason - Dead Rising>Vergil - DMC 3 (was gonna pick his DMC5 version but I like the Dante version of the fight a lot more than Nero's)>Henry Cooldown - No More Heroes >Mr. Sandman - Punch Out Wii
>>750154106>mgs3I started that recently and the beginning is so bad.does it get better going on? I'm asking you this because the rest of the panel is pretty solid
>>750155360Maybe it's just not for you, I loved it from the start. You could try and keep going if you're able to accept the game for what it is.
>>750155891I'm a huge fan of MGS1 and 2
>>750154106>not a single game where you're a girlthis says misogyny to me
Most final bosses are overdesigned. i dont think i ever liked a final boss other than Allant but i liked him since every other boss with exception of Penetrator was garbage
>>750156327oh boy, don't look at god hand
>>750154106
>>750156302Ok, that's odd. I've played all the MGS games (except for survive) and 3 was my favourite. Maybe you should just keep going, it does get better.
>>750156658I planned to, but other MGS had all great start, this one beginning is meh and I hate boss already
>>750154106I agree on eigong. Really great boss. I normally dont even like parry stuff that much but she was tuned just right. Died a lot but still felt like it was fair and I was making progress, satisfying to beat. Visually cool and good music as well. did the true version on normal mode
>>750156827>I hate boss alreadyNothing wrong with that. Maybe I'm biased, as I said, it's my favourite. But I'd say you should keep going. Obviously, if you don't want to, just stop. I won't be able to convince you if you've already decided to drop it.
I don't have many strong feelings for many final boss fights but there are two that I feel strongly about:First is the Champion fight from Pokemon Firered & Leafgreen (also RBY I guess). To be honest the music carries hard but I thought that it was cool that (AFAIK) there is no alluding to you having to fight your rival for the champion position until you defeat Lance.My favorite boss fight of all time is probably the final boss of Pizza Tower, primarily for the 3rd phase which I think was amazing.
>>750157038>Maybe I'm biased, as I said, it's my favourite.is the fist MGS you played?>I won't be able to convince you if you've already decided to drop it.as I said, I will continue mainly because I want to play guns of the patriots because I want to see where the patriots story goes but I just find weird that's your fav
>>750154106>previous bosses are all the standard "hit the obvious weak point 3 times to win">this fucker shows up and just refuses to die no matter what you do
Cackletta is the best rpg final boss
>>750154106For me its>The senator from MGS Revengeance>Clair obscur the choice you make in the end and the character you fight against>NG black final boss>Sekiro final boss>3rd strike final boss>Red from Pokemon 2nd Gen>Monster from Fallout 1>Saren from Mass Effect 1
>>750159683>>Sekiro final bossbased. best Souls boss ever
>>750160162Yeah, most souls final bosses have weak presentation but considered cool because they have tons of "hidden lore" behind them, but Isshin has gravitas, lore to back him up, and a fucking glock
>>750154106God hand is an awesome game but the Final Boss is a big step down from the hype that is the previous battle with Azel, the Demon just appears and feels kinda generic, it is a good powertrip but feels a little underwhelming and the song is also kinda boring.
>>750159683Senator Armstrong has to be up there, everything about that fight is pure hype. The speech, the music, the gameplay, it’s fucking perfect.
>>750161335That's why it says " (kinda cheating but he's the real final boss for me)" (talking about Azel)
>>750154106ULTRAKILL's act 1 and act 2's "Prime Bosses" essentially have my two mechanically favorite final bosses in the history of action games. I hope the third act lives up to that.Beyond that:Armstrong from MGRR is an easy pickSword Saint Isshin is the best frombossHeolstor the Nightlord is absolute slopkino
>>750154106>OokamiThe epitome of "The friends we made along the way">MGS3The setting, the narrative and how the song kicks in out of nowhere, KINO>FFXIV EndwalkerMostly if you played it at release, both Endsinger and the 1v1 afterwards>No More Heroes 1CINEMA>Ape Escape 1Just goodness all around, sick OST>Final Fantasy Crystal ChroniclesBeatiful all around, if you play this with other 3 bros this will ABSOLUTELY become a high point in your life>Romancing SaGa Minstrel SongThe way the boss "dies" by trying to do his ultimate attack but ends up being too weak by then and the fails to pull it off.>Final Fantasy VIThe final battle to end all JRPG final battles, do I even need to say it? The only sin is that is a little too easy.>Sonic Adventure 2PURE UNFILTERED KINO
>>750157536I never expected that a Mario game would make feel so desperate and exhausted, what a fight.
>>750161591Ah, that was me agreeing, but yes.
>>750154106Pizzahead was amazing
>>750154106Giygas
Giegue / Giygas
MGS2 Solidus easily
how come there's people who don't like Metal Gear Solid? I don't understand it
>>750157245You don’t enjoy the cinematics and characters at all? Not even ocelot? Did you like 1 and 2?
>>750154106Yeah, that God Hand one is absolutely cheating, he's the last good fight to be sure but that final boss is atrocious.
>>750154106What about kiwami 2?
>>750162060this guy is gigakino but my qualm with him is that the actual combat in the bosses of pizza tower is very lameyou have no incentive to actually use the games' fun movement mechanics, its more of a waiting game
>>750159683>>3rd strike final bossbad game design though
>>750162060I think Cuphead's final boss was better, but overall I like Pizza Tower more than Cuphead. It has better gameplay>>750166473Nah, 3rd strike is a top fighting game. The only problem with it is the balance. One third of its small roster is useless
>>750167004Cuphead is a lot of fun. What about te DLC boss? I haven't played that yet
>>750167259NTA, but the Devil makes for a better spectacle, while the DLC final boss is way harder.
>Multiple distinct phases including a playable intro bit where you play as a different character to free up the MC for the fight>Requires you to understand the mechanics intimately but also take them a step beyond that no other enemy in the game asks you too>Reinforces the connections between the characters made during the game by requiring them all to get through his defenses>Gives you catharsis that the game has built up the whole game by beating his ass>Fight ends on a rooftop in a thunderstorm>YOU ARE THE PERFECT DRUG THE PERFECT DRUG THE PERFECT DRUUUUUUUG>After you beat him he just goes "This is too much work" and kills himselfOne of the best of this decade for sure.
ANGER AND HATEARE SUPREME

>>750154106>as long as the credits roll right after the fighttigrexunlocking credits counts as them rolling fuck you
>>750154106>Secret bosses count too, as long as the credits roll right after the fight.does this accommodate anything other than red in pokemon gsc?
Hmm...TP has the best Ganon fight
>>750164574>Not even ocelot?I liked his backstory about he was flipping the makarov and it gets jammed but the rest didn't clicked me so much, most of the cinematics for now were stupid, like woman boss yapping all the time and ride in a jungle with a horse. but again, I'm just after that, I hope it gets better going on>Did you like 1 and 2?a lot, especially the second. I played that million times as kid and I replayed it recently
Bump
>>750155360The Virtuous Mission is pretty bad, and I wouldn't say the early part of the main mission is really good either. Once you get out the cave after The Pain it picks up, but if you don't want to push yourself for a couple hours to get to the actual entree I wouldn't blame you.
>>750154106I hate boss battles.
>>750174771why
he sucks
