Biggest let down for a final boss

[faranar]

The Witcher - I didn't even draw my sword, killed them with a few ignils.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Fable 2... That was not a boss fight.

 

[Treefingers]

Ganondorf in Wind Waker. such a let down

Really? That's probably one of my favourite boss fights in the Zelda series.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Gears of War 2. Seriously. Hold RT for three seconds then, CONGRATULATIONS YOU BEAT THE GAME!

Seriously. I want my fucking money back.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Sonic Chronicles. Pathetic. Just simply pathetic.

Oh and Fable 2. Yeah, I'm the big bad ************ you've been hunting all game! *fires gun once*, You Win!

 

[Alphavillain]

I'm sure it's been said already, but that bloke on the train at the end of Gears Of War. Who the hell was it? Some drunk that the conductor should've thrown off at the last station?

 

[Illusive DiZ]

Yu-Yevon from FFX. You can't lose.

Seriously, what the hell?

I know. And here I bought the max number of healing potions and phoenix downs thinking I'd need them after fighting Jecht.

 

[reg42]

Crysis Warhead. WTF !

I played that... What was the boss again?

The boss to the 2008 Prince of Persia, because it wasn't even a fight. It was pathetic, and it lead to literally the worst ending I've ever seen in a game.

Oh yeah totally agree with ya. The dlc to that game is no different.

I played it on the PC and we didn't even get the option to get the DLC. >.<

 

[Ren3004]

Fable 2 and Gears of War 2, of course.

And like Suki said, the "boss" on MW2 is pretty bad too... it drags out for too long. At lest the one in the first game was finished fast.

I'm sure it's been said already, but that bloke on the train at the end of Gears Of War. Who the hell was it? Some drunk that the conductor should've thrown off at the last station?

How about the Locust general who's been showing up several times throughout the game?

 

[Cosmic Naginata]

Sonic Chronicles. Pathetic. Just simply pathetic.

Yeah but on the bright side as a fan of the Fleetway Sonic the Comic I'm glad they included supersonics ability to shoot beams out of his eyes.

OT: Bowser in Super Mario Sunshine.

 

[sagacious]

Although it wasn't really up to much throughout the whole game

my answer's easily Fable 2

This. If you have completed fable 2, and don't think it had the worst final boss ever, then I'm glad I don't play the same games as you people.

Seriously, Fable 2 left me with controller-stomping anger at the end. This coming from the guy who LIKED the ending of Halo 2.

 

[run_forrest_run]

COLONEL AUTUMN ISN'T A FUCKING BOSS. The sooner you all realise this then the happier you'll be.

 

[Sephychu]

Demon's Souls.
Seriously.
I want my money back.

Yeah, that really sucked didn't it?

 

[high_castle]

I don't know if this would be my biggest letdown of all time, but it's definitely the top spot for biggest letdown in recent memory: Mass Effect 2. I'm sorry, but I can't be the only person who saw the giant terminator and laughed. What a level breaker. And the fight wasn't even all that hard. The game even pointed out the thing's weak spots in bright neon. But mostly it was how laughably ridiculous the thing looked that bugged me.

 

[The Harkinator]

I remember one of my friends telling me about a pokemon game where you had to wake up this thing just to fight it. Why not just walk around it?

Worst boss is a three way tie between
Fable 2: One hit kill in this guy you tried to kill all game, what takes his health down to half? A high speed feather? And if you left due to boredom someone else does it for you and comments on how the boss was boring (must be Fables self realisation).

Fallout 3: Watch a robot cooler than you can be in game have more fun that you can have in this section do everything for you, when you get to the boss tell him to go away and shoot him as he leaves to get his equipment.

Batman Arkham Asylum: Punch Jokers henchmen then just pull him back into the arena when he showboats to the helicopter.

Special mention goes to 343 Guilty Spark which isn't technically a boss (or did Bungie realise how bad they made it?). While doing the annual achievement (trying to anyway, friends connection cut out) we just stood in a corner taking turns to drop a bubble shield until we got a gun powerful enough to beat him.

Best boss in The End from MGS3. Any boss fight that lasts an hour and is still exciting is a worthy winner. Using tactics that turned the arena into a manhunt without making you have to fight him a certain way (don't know why he exploded though, or shrivelled up).

 

[Woodsey]

The Joker in Arkham Asylum.

I want a gritty mano-a-mano fistfight (using their superb freeflow combat system) and instead we got that.

 

[Versago]

Although it wasn't really up to much throughout the whole game

my answer's easily Fable 2

Yeah, wtf was up with that?! At least you had a free wish which was awesome!

Shame the wishes all sucked really

Yeah, Bioshock is a good choice for this question, as by the time you fight the boss you are so spliced up and weapon-upgraded that a few dogdes will see you through in about 1-2 minutes.
But Fable 2 really takes the cake. The big bad guy is standing in front of you, lecturing you, and will die upon a one-shot kill. And if you wait too long, he runs out of dialogue and an NPC killed him.

Its really shit when you realise that the 'biggest bossiest' fight happened about an hour before, and this guy is nothing more than a quick-time plot-point event.

Fable 2 was just a bad game. It was designed as a story-centred experiance, hence the slow-down for explanation points and cinematics, but the story was just BAD. No characters had a hint of depth, the villian was evil because someone had to be.

Lucian's evilness MADE NO SENSE! There was zero reason for him to be evil anyway. There is, once, a vague reference to his wife and child dying of desise. Then he decides to kill and enslave hundreds, if not thousands of people, in order to make the world more attune to 'justice'. No misjustice was done to his wife or child. They died of desise - common in that time and nothing more than unfortunate.

So the main villan was a one-shot kill, pointlessly evil, massivley under-equipped for battle, and served no purpose other than to make the game have a reason to exist.
Can we pretend Fable 2 didn't happen now, and hope that MAYBE Moleyneux croaks before he gets a chance to finish the latest penny-sucker of a dying, previously great, franchise.

 

[run_forrest_run]

MW2's final "boss" was sort of sad, but so was MW1's. In both you don't really get to do anything, just watch for a while, and then theres a quicktime-eventish thing at the end and it's over >>.

Just because you kill someone at the end doesn't make them a boss. Neither Shephard or whatever the hell the first guy was called were bosses.

 

[elcamino41383]

The boss to the 2008 Prince of Persia, because it wasn't even a fight. It was pathetic, and it lead to literally the worst ending I've ever seen in a game.

There wasn't a fight in the entire game! Was all puzzles and running around. Did not feel like a PoP game to me...

Zeus in God of War 3.

Seriously, that's it? Fighting the king of Olympus on his home turf and this is what I get?

I felt let down too The whole thing was rather anti-climatic.

As for answering the question. I'll have to say WET. The overall game was pretty fun, albeit cheesy. But the entire end fight was a quick time event (something that desperately needs to be taken out of gaming, I think.) Upon beating it I didn't waste any time taking it back to Gamestop and getting store credit.

 

[-Samurai-]

Last guy in Champions of Norrath. His guardian was a complete beast(Come on, he had a bow that fired human souls), but when we got to the boss himself, he was dead in under 10 seconds.
