I mean, seriously, one shot and Zakhaev goes down? Really? No big battle, nothing?

I dunno if MW2 resolved it or not but it was pretty jarring when it first came out.
well in MW2 it's pretty much the same except, you pull a knife out of your chest and throw it at some dude getting him in his eye.

the "boss" didn't take so long to do though.
Yes, i see that, but you have to think that the Final Boss would atleast have to be good. or atleast a challenge since that is what most gamers only strive to do, just beat the Boss and leave.

I thught of another one.

Too Human, by the end of that game i was really into it and was enjoying myself, then it ended, no boss, no anything, just a small cutscene and suprise, you need to pay another $100 next time we make this game... if we make this game...

Not sure if its anti-climactic but it sure was a punch to balls.
What are you talking about...?

Too Human had a final boss - I can't remember her name, as the story was terrible, but the game defiantly ended with a boss...

Probably doesn't need a spoiler but JIC:
Compared with the original fable, (and the lost chapters part), Fable 2 was a huge disappointment.
Really, at least the first one had an actual boss to fight. (Who looked absolutely awesome btw!)
I soooo wanted to kill Theresa! I never trusted her from the moment she was introduced! >:/

Borderlands final boss. Killed him, now I'll go into the vault!

Or just loot my white pistol. *tear*

For me it's still the final battle with Sephiroth, the whole thing was a bad ending to a game I never really enjoyed.

Going way back, the ending to Doom 2 was pretty anticlimactic, it wasn't even really a boss, you just have to shoot 3 rockets into a whole in the wall that spits out enemies.

It's no Cyberdemon, is all I'm saying.

At least they didn't give him some arbitrary health limit. In a game that prides itself on being very realistic, shooting the last boss in the head and him still running around firing back would have been downright ridiculous.

The only way to remedy the situation would have been to have him in some sort of vehicle, like a helicopter. That way it could plausibly take more than one shot to kill him, and he still wouldn't seem super-human at all and break immersion (sp).

Not sure if someone mentioned it yet, but the very final boss of FFX was really disappointing. Granted, you had about 3 or 4 harder fights before that, but a floating scarab with giant stone pillars was a bit of a let down. Also, FFXII was also a letdown in its entirety. I kept playing, waiting for the storyline to start, and then beat the game to discover that that was it. Game over, nothing else.

I've said this before, but here we go.

Anyone who didn't immediately know that the "box" we were trying to open on PANDORA was going to contain some unspeakable evil and not treasure needs to stop playing so many video games and go read a goddamn book or something.

Yeah, except it shoots one hit kill cubes that spawn enemies. Infinitely. Pretty much you have to do it very fast, or you end up dead. Plus the only way to get shot into the hole is to shoot at the exactly right time while going up on an elevator platform.

Plus the Cyberdemon isn't the last boss of doom. The Spiderdemon is.

Doing the 'No Russian' mission in MW2 and realizing Makarov isn't even the real enemy.
What were they smoking?

no one said the borderlands ending yet?
I was thinking this. It just feels rushed, and there was something missing to that ending, whether it be an improvement on the twist or just better directing.
