I'm not new to the series. I've played all of them numerous times and love them, even the lesser entries. I'm not even saying O&S is a terrible boss, I just don't think it's a very good one and feel like people don't call it out for the bullshit it has. The SAME bullshit they hate on Maneaters and Throne Duo for.

>Regularly attack THROUGH each other
>Regularly flank so you cannot keep both in view a lot of the time
>Ornstein can literally hit you with his dash as you enter the room, BEFORE you can move
>Hit detection on Smough is wacky. I frequently swing at him, see my weapon pass through, just to hit absolutely nothing... and I'm not hitting his hammer. I get it acts like a shield
>Smough literally just spams ONE attack 90% of the fight
>They literally attack too quickly to hit them with certain weapon types without getting hit
>Theres no pattern or rhythm to their AI with each other... they just spam attacks whenever. A good duo boss should function like a well oiled machine, but this is just two enemies attacking erratically
>The one you dont kill in phase 1 is full healed regardless of damage received. Kind of a neat twist, but also kind of an unnecessary kick in the balls the first time

And truthfully I like the concept a lot, and it can be fun occasionally. But people act like this is the greatest fight in Souls history, if not one of the greatest in all of gaming, and I just don't get it.

Now that the dust has been settled and with the crash remake and a Spyro remake hopefully coming soon which is better? Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the dragon.
In general I mean not just pic related.
