ITT: The absolute worst final bosses.

Every final Zelda boss after Wind Waker

>>380930393
Mario Galaxy's was pretty bad

>>380930393
Sly 4's final boss was leagues worse than breath of the wild's. Quit exaggerating.

All the bosses in this game were lame damage sponges, but this one had a TIME LIMIT.

>>380932480
Not only that, but you could really only kill it with the Musclemass Charged Throw ability, and there were a finite amount of objects on that carrier.

I remember taking a shot at this nig during his monologue, thinking the bullet would glance off of him since he had glowing eyes and an aura on him, but nope he died like a bitch and that was it.

Every Uncharted boss.

>>380932961
IT'S A HOMING SHOT

>>380933240
Fuck I was gonna post this. This fight absolutely ruined the mood of the game. Im just glad they made him a actual final boss in the DLC.

>>380932480
I was disappointed when the fight made no use of the fact that Specialist Cross was consumed by the Supreme Hunter , especially since he was the only decent boss in the game.

>>380932715

You could pretty easily just whip him to death, at least on normal. Hard mode required you to git gud though.

I loved Galaxy final boss because it was kinda the Galaxy version of Mario 64. The shitty one was Galaxy 2 with that super mega Bowser that was super easy. Kinda like op example.

>>380932773
TP Ganon was GREAT! That is why it was so stupid to fight Gannondorf after that.

Suda said it was intentional to show that getting revenge isn't always a good thing or worth it.

>>380934362
It's the only one on one real sword fight with Ganondorft in the series isn't? Unless you count demise, I think it's cool for that, but the fight itself was pretty crap I agree.

>>380933827
I don't have a problem with this guy besides his second form's insta kill move. NMH2 had much bigger problems.

>>380933827
Why do people dislike this fight? Because Jasper is a fag? The gameplay of the fight was better than pretty much all other fights in the franchise and it was challenging as fuck. Aomst unbeatable terriroty on highest difficulty without kinda cheesing the game.

>>380930484
Can that even be done with a knife? Or is RE0 the worst game in the series?

>>380934501
They could've made a boss fight work too since you fought his second man early in the game.

>>380933067
>Not Demon's Souls
Demon's Souls is a better game. But the REAL final boss is a joke. I get that he's got a purpose for being what he is. But why even make it a fight then? They easily could have made it so that you are supposed to just talk to him and he can't fight and if you hit him he just dies in one hit. He literally isn't a fight anyways, so why bother with the boss health and song?

OMG, to this day, I'm literally at the final boss area on Very Hard Mode. But they make you kill four of these, where it's two at a time each. How in the actual fuck do I beat it? I've tried so many different weapons and strategies. It's just "block, block, block, get hit but block again". This is all while you have to avoid getting fucked by the other one in the room, who does massive AOE and insanely damaging combos. Jesus...

>>380933067
that's kind of a staple for souls games. We didnt start seeing good final bosses until bloodborne, and even then, Moon Prescence was not as great as Gherman was, MP just let you wail on it until its health bar dropped.

Seeing as gherman doesnt really count, I'll state that SoC was the best souls boss, even if its only a moderate challenge. SoC still manages to build up the hype factor

Not a chance. TP's Ganon and SS's Demise actually put up a fight. It was difficult to fail those fights but at least there was a chance of failure. BOTW's Ganon requires no preparation (even gives you a horse if you don't have one) and ends so fast I genuinely thought it was just another phase in the fight. I appreciate BOTW for a lot of things but that finale was a joke.

First game in particular was balls. 4 at least did the cinematic QTE fight a little better.

>>380933067
When I first beat Nashandra, I thought it was just another fight.

Then the game over and I was like "What?" Gwyn was such a strong finish to Dark Souls, even though I didn't really understand the story, I knew that killing Gwyn was significant and a fitting end, especially the Kiln of the First Flame and all of that.

Nashandra just feels like a generic boss when you first fight her, definitely not the last boss. I'm glad they added a real last boss, but they should have fought in a different location, That bottom of the throne area isn't really that significant, because you can go there at any point after getting past the shrine of winter

While we're on the subject of Metroid, fucking Metroid Prime 3 had such a shitty final boss. It could've been cool, as a homage to Metroid and Super Metroid, but they went in a totally different direction with it. The fight was bad and not particularly memorable, which was a damn shame.

Step aside lads, Laziest attempt at a final boss comin' through.

>>380930393
Are you fucking stupid? Dark Beast Ganon isn't the final boss. It's Calamity Ganon that's the real boss. Dark Beast Ganon is the moment Nintendo gave to you to extend your feeling of victory against Dark Beast Ganon. It's like that good feeling you get like when you kick a Koopa shell into a line of enemies to get a 1up. It's called good game design, dumbass.

>>380939558

>>380938639
Lucien wasn't a boss fight.

>>380938816
He was there to avenge all of the other marauders you killed in the game,and if he failed he would die knowing he was the last enemy to die by the hands of fucking Shepard,the guy who buttfucked the Reapers themselves
Marauder Shields was a small insignificant mob,but he died a legend

>>380939789
>implying Skorge wasn't the final boss
Everything after him was just clean up anyway. It was like a playable epilogue. Not that Skorge was much better admittedly.

>>380939558
This is actually one of the best colossi in the game. I was always disappointed in the fact that most of the bosses in that game didn't have a platforming section before you got to them, like the demo led me to believe. But when you get to that fucker, instead of immediately having to deal with the boss, you have to go through a bunch of bullshit to even start climbing on him, AND he throws a bunch of lightning at you too. Easily one of the best bosses in the game.

>>380939558
God damn those things creep me out. Took me years to finish the game because of how uncomfortable the monsters make me feel when they stare at me.

>>380937830
>>380940749
Considering how the entire game saw Batman getting worn down from rounding up all of the villains, the last fight should have been an exhausted Batman versus regular Joker. Maybe give some kind of minor gimmick to Joker so the fight is even but nothing as dumb as venom Joker.

>>380936419

I love The First Encounter's levels and music far more but the final boss just kills my boner. I hate puzzle bosses. I didn't even mind legend of the beast dlc until they put that puzzle-khnuum boss. They're not even hard, just tedious. Somehow BFE's final doesn't piss me off, maybe it's because there's more involvement in the fight.

You've been wiping everyone on the floor effortlessly for hours and there hasn't been anyone who could save against your attacks, and then suddenly you're put against these faggots who are nearly immune to force powers, deal a tremendous amount of damage and have a fuck high dexterity so you can't hit them either.
