[posible spoilers] the most anticlimactic bosses youve ever fought

[The Madman]

The end 'boss' of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Not only was it wretchedly easy but it made little sense either, just sorta comes out of nowhere and I'm supposed to for some reason care. Hell, all the bosses in that game were terrible. I can't think of a single one which was even remotely interesting unless trying to save Malik counts.

 

[D Moness]

Nothing will ever beat Lucien. One shot, one kill, and if you take too long, General Melchett shoots him for you.

This. The first time I finished that game, I was actually letting him monologue and figured we'd fight after that. Then *boom*, dead. And not even by me. Such a complete let down of an ending.

Lol i got bored of that monologue so i just aimed and pulled the trigger(lucky me).

I think wet should deserve a spot here. i really enjoyed playing this game then you get to the big boss that is just a set of QTE's and then game over (although it hints that there might be a sequel(that will never get made anyway).

Recently, Chaos Lord Nemeroth in Warhammer 40.000: Space Marine.

Spoiler

QTE final boss, what the hell?! After all this build up I don't even get to fight him?!

 

[Tayh]

The wrestler boss in Saints Row 3.

 

[kyogen]

King Allant's true form in Demon's Souls is almost ridiculously anti-climactic, but there are perfectly good lore-related reasons for it, and the rest of the game is pretty much one long, drawn-out climax, so fair's fair. Not really a disappointment; it's mostly just surprising that he can get up and fight at all.

Yet another fantastically sadistic joke of the sort that From Software loves to play on its fans.

 

[jdogtwodolla]

Every Uncharted final Boss. All 3 have a different way of battling them, 1 is actually servicable, all 3 are stupid and unexciting.

Oh and Resistance 3. They used an alien from earlier in the game again and again with a cinematic angle. Doesn't compare at all to the epic fight from 2.

GTA 3: The latin woman at the end was way easy to kill.

The Allspark was a stupid final boss

 

[A BigCup of Tea]

As two people have mentioned before me....borderlands, all through the game i was having so much fun and thought 'wow the end boss is going to be hard to beat' and what happens...i pump a few rounds into him and what do i get? not a vault full of riches but a couple of guns and then BAM end of game. So much dissapointment, but i can't wait for number 2!!!

 

[The Shadowlord]

I've always found Gnasty Gnorc of the first Spyro the Dragon game to be a major disappoint. Just chasing him around for a little bit, torch him twice and he's down. Sure, I guess it's emphasising the platforming part of the game, but I'd still like him to fight back instead of running all the time.

 

[jjjonesy27]

I agree that Alduin was pretty meh, but for disappointing bossfights nothing compares to the end of Borderlands.

this^^

And in Saints Row 3 where they give you the choice to either A)

Spoiler

Kill Killbane

, or B)

Spoiler

Save Shaundi, Viola, and Mayor Reynolds.

If you choose choice A all you do is press R1 3 or 4 times and it's over. Wicked boring.

And Alduin's battle, that was just...depressing.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Yu Yevon in FF10 :/ really, just reflect + fight? *sighs* it was really pathetic, more so as i've heard OTHER means of offing him easily, like turning it undead, and letting the auto heal do the job for you

 

[Blemontea]

I will always rant about borderlands final boss fight, those ten seconds will be burned into my retinas forever, a simple jump shoot 13 times with a shotgun and boom finale. but I have spent far too long away from these forums to return again by complaning about an accepted fact.

Demons Souls, i look back upon that game thinking how easy the boss fight is for my character. He barely scaved me and i took down his health in seconds two with a few base strong attacks. BUT i never really could get mad at it, i always felt like that it was a key element in the story like how the stairs for each level were.

Actually just had a flash back to one game i kept taking the abuse from time and time again. Soul Calibur, both 3 and 4. The story mode is non existant and all you do is read a text srawl after facing off against whoever happens to have the soul edge at the time. BOOOOORING as fuck and i really hate it the more look back on it.

 

[Kahunaburger]

Dragon Age: Origins. Call down a big dragon, get ready for epic battle... and it turns out it can be stunlocked to death. Basically glyph explosion > fucking everything.

 

[Iron Criterion]

Shub-Niggurath in Quake. It started off so promisingly. I had battled my way through legions of flesh tearing, blood guzzling eldrich abominations and I was now facing down the absolute ruler of the demons and monsters in a plane unknown. I know I had been alone the entire game but this time it was different; I truly was a stranger in a strange land.

I charged through its defences, swathing through demented beings and came ever nearer to this tentacled fiend, clutching my ever-smoking gun. The ol' reliable. It grew all the more desperate, and my palms became ever more drenched in sweat. Every Shambler and Vore it threw at me I uncaringly put down. I assessed the situation, what was my game plan here? Where do I start? I noticed a teleport at the end of this walk-way. I realised what was needed of me, and as I stepped through that hazy portal I thought of all the blood, sweat and tears that had brought me to this very moment. All those who had died would soon be vindicated.

And for what? A mere Telefrag? I killed the leader of all things unholy with what would be considered hilarious dumb-luck in a death match game.

Total injustice to one of video gaming's coolest looking bosses and the namesake of my favourite Great Old One.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

Kingdoms of Amalur's final boss [POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!], Tiirnoch. Cmon man, that was pathetically easy, Barely even fought her myself, it was those damn Fate thingies most of the time. Was kinda meh >.>

 

[TheNaut131]

Every boss in Alice in wonderland disappointment being in that there is no boss fight after all that build up ;/

Spoiler: Ahem

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

That right there pissed me off so much!

I mean really, not having boss fights is one thing but building up suspense and hinting towards them is just fucking cruel.

 

[FalloutJack]

Dark Falz (normal mode) in Phantasy Star Online.
Ok sure he was alot harder after normal mode but the other bosses before him were still challanging during normal while Dark Falz was just a push over.
Judging from his size I was expecting an epic battle only to have him kneel over and die before I get to use my Photon art (he get back up in a new smaller body after normal mode).

I use to wonder why he hasn't been doing all that well anymore, given that I'm a fan of the old saga. And then, the answer came to me: Without the Profound Darkness, he hasn't GOT IT anymore.

 

[MiloP]

Gears of War 2's final boss was pretty lame. Aim at any part of a Brumak and pull trigger to win.

Luckily, Epic won back all the points they lost there for the GOW3 final boss. Slightly annoying fight, but epic as hell.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

I keep referencing back to Deus Ex: Human Revolution but I just fought Namir and I can't believe this happened...

Spoiler

I dodged left to avoid his bullets, ran towards the corner, saw him hopping over the wall behind me, pushed B thinking it would be a non working little stall tactic so he wouldn't shoot me (like the second boss) and... killed him with a single punch. No other boss was punchable, how the hell does that work? WTF? Granted I wouldn't have tried it intentionally because I figured punching him would be ineffective like prior bosses, but seriously? It took six or so seconds and it was my first try!

 

[HumpinHop]

With the amount of people complaining about Fable 2, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Fable 3. I hope you all had the good sense not to buy it after the second, but I was gullible.

Even worse than just an easy boss, or a cut scene, they literally re used every move from a mini-boss five minutes earlier. That isn't disappointing, it's just insulting. A giant middle finger to the audience.

 

[Rivenart]

Nothing will ever beat Lucien. One shot, one kill, and if you take too long, General Melchett shoots him for you.

It was a fitting end to a frial old man.

Fable 3 on the other hand. "The Darkness is coming!" .... "The darkness is gone...oh well I think we better leave now kthxbai".
