Current Events > Good games with a God awful last boss fight or last level?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sly Thieves in Time... A quick time event with a skunk that ends in ANOTHER cliffhanger just like Sly 3 did. In fact, TiT's (lol tits...) cliffhanger was so bad that it made Sly 3 seem like the perfect ending. And Sly TiT isn't a bad game.

Dying Light. That shit was STUPID.

Dragon's dogma

Octopath Traveller had a pretty poorly designed final boss. While I enjoyed the challenge and the story content, the design of it all was just a big mistake.

Dante's Inferno, the god of war ripoff but with christian mythos. final 3 rings of hell are just a bland gauntlet followed by an uninspired boss fight. satan looks lame compared to the imagery in the first half of the game

But giant devil penis

Back in the NES era, Konami had a sense of humor with regards to going all out on making the game as difficult as possible, then having an absolute throwaway boss at the end of the final level.

Contra had a stationary heart protected by scorpions.
Rush 'n Attack had a gauntlet of regular enemies.
Lifeforce had a snake which circles a tiny planet and drops a fire blast every once in a while.

Okay maybe gameplay wise but thematically it's amazing? Especially playthrough 2 when the Seneschal and their pawn is YOUR first playthrough character and your first pawn. It just works so well! I can't think of another game that executed the Death/Rebirth cycle so poignantly.

Yeah never played a boss that heals you lol

I also forgot to say Final Fantasy X but I consider the penultimate boss to be the true last boss and that's actually a pretty whoop ass boss fight.

But the whole God that everyone was preying to that was responsible for this entire mess being a #@&* spider was pretty underwhelming.

Can you imagine if Barrett was in the FFX team and he saw Yevon?

Barrett: What? A #@&* SPIDER?

Half life's zen as far as levels go

Punch-Out!! featuring Mr. Dream



In a game full of colorful characters, Mr. Dream himself has the least personality of any of them. The box art makes him look like Ivan Drago from Rocky IV. The in-game sprites make him look like an Olympic athlete whose posing to be on the cover of a box of Wheaties.

YHVH's universe is a terrible final dungeon but YHVH is one of the best final bosses in the series.

It was more for the player and putting the nostalgia goggles on them rather than a mechanically cool final fight. It basically made you appreciate and feel all the struggles Solid Snake had throughout the series and they did a good job with the setting, the shifting songs and life bars to reflect the different games and eras.

Clock Tower 3 was a game I enjoyed and played through but threw in the towel because the end boss was so bullshitty. He's not even hard just boring and strong.

Mr. Dream is literally just a sprite swap of Mike Tyson for legal reasons.

Fallout 3

The spectacle of walking around with liberty prime is pretty cool but the final boss just being some guy without armor is pretty lame.

From the neck down, yeah. His face and hair sprites are totally different. He's uninspired. They should've made him look meaner, cockier, anything. He's so flat and boring. The dialogue makes him seem arrogant, but his facial expression doesn't match that. He just looks like some dude apathetically posing in front of the camera for a quick paycheck.

You have a cowardly French boxer, a militaristic German boxer, a flamboyant Spanish boxer, an obese Pacific Islander boxer, a Turkish giant boxer, a drunken Russian boxer, a bodybuilding Californian boxer, and some random dude who kinda looks like Dan Marino if he made the switch from American football to boxing.

it was a really boring, static fight
switching parties is a neat concept but doesn't add anything of value gameplay-wise

Persona 3 - Final boss tries so hard to seem "epic" or something and fails miserably. 13 forms, the first twelve of which are basically all deliberate jokes, then a final form with insane durability but mediocre offense meaning it doesn't even threaten you until it gets very low health and can potentially charm one of your characters into full healing it, making you waste all that time yet again. The whole thing is dedicated entirely to just boring you to death for as long as possible with nothing happening.

SMT: Strange Journey - The Neutral/Law final boss is pretty notorious for being able to just force an automatic game over on you with an always hitting instant death attack that your main character can survive once if you have the right accessory, but not twice. Main character death means you get a game over.

SMTIV: Apocalypse (not trying to go in on the SMT franchise or anything, they just apparently have a lot of examples) - Final dungeon is way too long for its own good, has very dull, droning music, and has a super bright shifting colour scheme that is painful to even look at for too long. Seriously, twenty minutes of running around this shit hole has almost always given me a headache. This visual design is bad in any circumstance, but especially on a handheld system where the screen itself will probably be moving slightly in your hands.

Fire Emblem 6 - Last two chapters are an endless corridor where you just walk through empty space and murder the same few enemies over and over again, followed by a giant empty room where you walk up and kill a boss that can't even counter attack at 2 range for some god forsaken reason.

I know a lot of people didn't like Star Fox Adventures but the last boss fight was terrible I would have preferred a fight with General Scales at least

Oh.

The General in Kaiser Knuckle is the biggest fucking piece of shit mother fucker and is literally impossible to beat on the hardest difficulty without abusing an AI glitch.
