Cheapest Boss Battle

[Blatherscythe]

I know there's probably quite a few of these, but the one I've encountered is just begging to be mentioned. It is such a pain in the ass that I cannot beat it, I believe that if I rant about it I may get it out of my system. Here we go.

Spoiler

In Mafia 2 you have to fight Derick near the end, he closes the warehouse on you and has 6 guys with tommy guns attack you while he throws an unlimited supply of molotov cocktails. This wouldn't be so bad if the game didn't blatently cheat all the time. Derick hides behind cover that actually manages to cover his fat ass and throws cocktails, up to three at a time. It doesn't matter if it hit you or not, it will do damage, there's no shockwave assosiated with a molotov so that's ruled out, the fire could be at the other end of cover and still hurt you. The fat cocksucker cheats, it's bullshit and as George Carlin said, "it's bad for ya".

So which boss battles piss you off the most, due to the boss using cheap/dirty tricks and tatics?

 

[Dango]

If by "cheap/ dirty tricks and tactics" you mean being fucking ridiculously hard, I have a winner.


The boss of that game=impossible.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

There is one boss that sticks out in my mind, from a long forgotten game known as Dead or Alive 4. After going through the entire arcade mode, smashing numerous faces in and being an absolute powerhouse, you meet your greatest fear:

Her.

Spoiler: Be warned! Overpowered!

Alpha 152.......Fuck you.

3 days ago I remembered that I never completed Killzone 2 and not really remembering why.
So I decided that now was the time since the next game Im gonna buy is a month or so away.

First thing I realized is the crappy squad AI. I mean, your squad memebers only dick around. Not that thats a problem, it just annoys me a little.

Then I fought my way to the the uber badass, Radec or what ever his name is.
The game then puts you in a place where theres very little cover, and no place where you are completely hidden. And the starts to spam wave after wave of bad guys, with x-ray vison to shot me in to a pink paste, while my squad sits in a corner weeping and crying for help.

I tried the bad encounter 50 times with the same result every time no matter what I did. Oh did I mention that the guy you are supposed to put holes in, is hiding in the opposite end of a huge room with a cloaking device and no way to get to him?

What bugges me the moste, I suppose, is that when I get off from work, Im gonna go home and get owned by that cheap boss for a few hours again.

I hate you Killzone 2! -.-

Well for that one you're a bit more... stationary.

In Ikaruga you need to be constantly on the move, watching every single bullet that goes by, while simultaneously switching polarities to dodge the opposite color.

By the way this kind of stuff is why Shoot Em Ups are the hardest genre.

Sorry, but Mafia II is a new release game. Can you please use spoiler tags?
But, yeah, bullet hell pretty much sums it up.

that room is bullsquib on the hardest difficulty. it took me 29 failed attempts before i beat it. (lucky number 30!)
take cover and mow down those first waves of Helghast. then when the doors to the upper level open go up the right stairs and kill everyone up there. at the back of the room (above where you entered) is a set of double doors with a small wall in front of it. if you position yourself just right you can kill people on the lower floor without them being able to shoot you. continue up here while mowing down the Helghast flankers that try to flush you out and then after the dropship crashes through the window you can kill the rocket guys at the far end of the room.

after this you fight Radec. simple battle realy. just set him on FIRE! he still teleports but so long as you keep shooting/burning him he shouldnt be able to do much except throw Ark grenades at you.

ONWARD TO VICTORY!!

I did get to the uppefloors, but havent seen the drop ship yet. Gonna try this when I get home. Thanks ^^

Jinpachi Mishima is the first thing that comes to mind.

Seth from Street Fighter 4. Launches two Sonic Booms at once, has a more powerful Tiger Uppercut than Sagat, runs to the side of the screen and constantly uses Dhalsim's stretchy arm move, fucking teleports, and his Ultra move is a ridiculous pile of wank. Worst of all, though, is that his moves cancel out whatever you're doing; he can start his Ultra midway through your Ultra, and interrupts your combos with his own special moves. Fucking ****. Oh, and that's just on medium - on the harder difficulties he's a controller-smashing nightmare.

Also, the last boss from Gun, who was apparently impervious to arrows, knives, bullets, fire and explosions. He also wields a shotgun that can kill you in two hits, and the battle takes place in a small cavern so you have nowhere to run. After several hours of trying, I gave up on the game after failing to put even a dent in his health bar.

 

[D YellowMadness]

Dracula on Hard in Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair. He chooses attacks at random, he can make fire pillars at the walls and then make a massive explosion that covers the rest of the room right as they disappear, he uses hearts which don't always have a warning and can be spawned on you if you're under him causing you to be charmed if you're using Charlotte or Shanoa so you stand still for several seconds before running straight through Dracula's attacks to attack your own allies,he can shoot triangles at you but each triangle targets a random person and he'll often fire one at the ground when everyone's in midair so you land on it. He's also way too strong and that's just his third form.

The puppet master in the same game is also super cheap. He can make puppets that fly at you and if they hit you you get hurt and cursed. The curse temporarily takes away all your MP and you have to wait for it to slowly charge when you get it back. He has one iron maiden on each side of him and if you step into one you die instantly unless you have crazy stats and tons of HP. He can put a voodoo doll into either iron maiden causing you to teleport into it. To prevent that move you have to destroy the voodoo doll before he can finish putting it in. He chooses his attacks randomly which means he'll sometimes use that attack 10 or more times in a row. He moves to a different room eventually and repeatedly so you have to get there quickly because he'll immediately use a voodoo doll when he gets there but there was one time when he did it way before getting to the room and I couldn't do anything about it because I was trying to get there before him like you're supposed to.

[sub]Hey, I was a poet and didn't know it! Who would've thought?!?[/sub]

Seconded! I usually go Ryu who has slow but powerful attacks, which had got me through the whole thing well, but it's no use WHEN YOU CAN'T GET A FUCKING PUNCH IN.

Also, WHO HAD THE IDEA TO LET HER TELEPORT?!

 

[MercurySteam]

I found Kerrigan's 'Implosion' ability during the 'All In' mission in SC2 quite annoying. Though apparently her 'Razor Swarm' ability is even more annoying on Hard.

 

[Googenstien]

In recent memory it has been..

Barthandelus in FF13

Why? its a long ass fight that kind of bores you to death with its 14+ minute length and then suddenly you get a "death dot" on you and have to finish him off before the timer ends or you die... fight was annoying and cheap as hell. One flub and you can die easily, if you take it safe you cant kill him before timer so you really have to work your ass off to kill him with all the shifting and shit.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

Earth Defense Force 2017 ...

One theres the giant mothership of damnation loaded with lasers of ownage. That would be enough ... If not for the FUCKING INVASION FLEET BACKING IT UP!!!

You have 2 weapons on you, a rocket launcher, and an assault rifle. ( everything else except a few sniper rifles are useless ) And with these two weapons, you must fight off something that's defeated entire countries, and It's fleet of powered up alien fighters. You don't even get vehicles, that badass mech and super copter, they aren't there. But they would probably get owned anyway,

You see, there are five levels of difficulty, beginner, normal, hard, hardest, and INFERNO. On anything abode normal you face pain. On INFERNO your health ( unless grinded up to extreme standards ) can be whittled away quickly. Unless you move like a jack rabbit on meth you will burn. And what do you get for all of this, what ballsy trophy of manhood, what weapon of overcompensation do you get for this, after grinding to all hell just to have a fighting chance, what do you get?

A shoulder mounted behemoth called the genocide gun, that can take out entire cities In a single shot.

All challenges do come with their rewards.

 

[jowo96]

Modern Warfare 2, if you count the final showdown as a boss battle. Certainly was a huge anticlimax

 

[therandombear]

Jinpachi Mishima is the first thing that comes to mind.

Agreeing with that, everytime the fight start, he shoots the fire beam or whatever it is, I get knocked down, he shoots it again and keeps me down, I finally get up, dodge and get try to get closer, only for me to get another beam in the face, and KO.
He does that everytime...

FUUU... Any of the fucking timed battles in that game sucked. The last level of Half Life 2 Ep. 2 was pretty fucking hard too, or maybe i'm just shit at FPS'. I remember when Kingdom Hearts first came out some of the boss battles in that game sucked ass. Ummm... A game with super hard cheap boss battles that I actually ended up beating was No More Heroes, lots of swearing during that battle though.

EDIT: Oh wait I beat all those games besides FFXIII... I phrased that weird.
