The most OP Bosses in existence?

[Hazy992]

Azazel from Tekken 6. Seriously fuck that boss, it just pisses me off.

I was going to say this. It's not really OP so much as downright broken. It can block in any point, even mid attack, without ever stopping it's a attacks, and if you do manage to get a hit in, you can't press the advantage because it will just teleport and slam down on top of you.

Agreed. Azazel is beyond unfair it's not even funny. I gave up trying arcade mode and just play ghost battles or whatever they're called.

The only tactic I've found that works against Azazal is to just use Jak's flying stomp thing. Azazal seems a bit too stupid to dodge it, except when it's on the floor. Obviously it's still not guaranteed because it's still cheap as hell, but it helps.

You're kinda screwed though if you use anyone else :/ I really hope there's nothing like that in Tekken Tag 2 or I'll be pissed

I have managed to beat him once with Bryan and once with Lili without using spam tactics, but I mostly only play it multiplayer anyway.

I'm not good enough for multiplayer, unless it's with my equally shit friends

Me too, but I had a bunch of people round for a bit of a LAN party and party party day before yesterday and we all took turns to try beat the ridiculous boss. Nancy is also cheap as hell.

Oh yeah I've only faced it a couple of times. I just give up

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I'd just like to submit that just because a boss is hard doesn't mean it's over powered.

 

[The Heik]

I'll second the Deus Ex HR bosses, if only because they just don't fit the game at all. You can be stealthing it up when all of a sudden you are forced to take down some teleporting ninja ***** with insane health who can kill you in a matter of seconds. God help those who didn't have at least some upgrades to combat.

All you have to do is spam typhoon like your life depended on it.

Not even that. Four frag grenades and MAYBE a clip from an SMG are almost always enough. Heck I beat the third boss guy in less than 10 seconds with that strategy.

OT: Sephiroth from KH2. Not hard once you work a rhythm on him but he can pretty much kill you in one hit.

OT: Sephiroth from KH1. Oh boy was this guy s *****. At least fighting him in KH2 was easier if you had all your forms upgraded a few levels. Double jump and perma glide made evading his attacks almost fair (hey he could still take massive chunks of your health if he hit you, but at least you could dodge them). Against his KH1 incarnation all you effectively had for evasion tactics was the dodge roll and legging it. I get chills down my spine every time I remember trying to deal with that guy.

 

[ABLb0y]

Ramon from the Syndicate remake.

Basically, he shoots rockets at you which you have to hack. Sounds easy, right?

Well, he shoots them five at a time, and if you're out of DART...

Also, did I mention he throws down Jammers? 'cause that's kind of important.

 

[Shuguard]

This thread was made for monster hunter.
SO. MANY. CHEAP. SHOTS.
Also,

This guy is bloody soul crushing.
Pretty much every atttack does a TON of damage, even with good armour.
Did I mention he can breath pure death?

I was waiting for a deviljho reference, I think the mini one was scarier.

OT: Gonna have to go with final fantasy's VII and VIII various weapon bosses (ultima, omega, emerald, and ruby) seriously wtf? i only beat ultima...

 

[Giralin]

Why? Because they're worthless shitty mechanics inherited from the peasant piles of shit called consoles.

PC Gamer Master Race, signing off.

Depending on how much you trust Wikipidia, the earliest game to use QTEs was a 1979 arcade game called The Driver where the player had to match their steering wheel, gas pedal and brakes with the movements shown pre-filmed sequences (i.e cutscenes). So they do not originate from consoles but rather coin-operated Arcade machines

Their origin I will not contest but that's not my point either. PC gaming was blessedly free from QTEs from the days of C64 and way into the ever increasing numbers after "Win". There may have been some exceedingly rare reaction timers throughout the very long years until we reached the Xbox/PS2 age on consoles. That's when game designers suddenly decided QTEs were all the rage and stuffed them into every god damn game they could, all on consoles.

PC gaming was -still- blessedly free from the damn things, all the way until devs got lazy and moved on to develop directly for consoles and then just port the whole shite to PC. That's when the damn things started popping up everywhere they -didn't- belong. Bossfights were replaced with shitty cutscenes with QTEs. Horror sequences became completely horror free when you realized the worst conceivable evil in the game could just be swatted away with the right mousebutton. They infested every damn genre out there except RTS and that's probably only because RTS just simply does not fucking work on consoles.

So yes, as far as PC gaming goes, QTEs did originate on consoles and consoles are largely to blame for this insane infestation of gaming in general. Where consoles got them I largely consider irrelevant at this point.

The way you go on about it things sound like QTEs are everywhere, but out of my 57 games for PS2, PS3, and Wii only four of them have QTEs.

On topic. Mass Effect 3's Marauder Shields on insanity before the extended cut

 

[Furioso]

Also any boss in The Answer in Persona 3. The difficulty is stuck on Hard and you can't use the anti-grinding system the game usually has. So grind them dungeons for an hour and maybe you'll beat it this time around!

Shame I gave up after the first few dungeons. I really liked Metris as well. At least I think that was her name, the new robot chick. That one.

I may look up a Let's Play just for the story. Meh I doubt it's that important.

This. This exact thing word for word. The thing that always killed me with these in addition to all that was for whatever reason the AI during these boss fights seemed to become amazingly stupid, doing things like attacking an enemy that I had knocked down, instead of knocking down one of the enemies that only they could knock down. After the first boss (The buff guy and 2 helpers) took me over a half hour due to them actively helping the 3 guys constantly get back on their feet I decided the game wasn't worth the hassle

OH GOD NO!!
NO!!!!
WHY??!!?!?!?!?
*breaks into tears*

Never got to a high enough rank to get one of those on a mission, but the thing ate my party alive during a rathian hunt. I'm traumatized by the experience!

 

[uchytjes]

Peace walker Battle 2: Custom. Good God is this a hard battle. I haven't even beaten it. its just that hard to do.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

There are a lot of bosses in FF13 that I had trouble with but mainly because of the stupid level-caps that keep you from getting stronger before you hit Chapter 11.

I bought Mortal Kombat 3 for the PSX from a game place and thought the entire game was horribly, horribly difficult. It took me about an hour to beat the first person, on Novice/Very Easy

He wasn't so bad as long as you didn't wear armor with a high weakness to Dragon element and most of his attacks are pretty avoidable. Still at least he was a fun boss to fight.

I remember in middle school when I played runescape the one boss they had called TzTok-Jad drove me absolutely insane. He could basically one hit most characters from off screen. I got to him once, only to then be killed without even seeing him. To make matters worse one would have to fight through a lot of waves of other enemies before finally getting to him. It would take several hours to get to him only to be killed without even seeing the final boss.

Maybe not the most overpowered boss but certainly the least enjoyable one for me.

 

[StickManRampage]

Here's a pretty good example of an overpowered boss.

Alpha - 152 from Dead or Alive 4:

I agree totally. I hate Alpha 152, 3 friends and I spent 8 hours passing around the controller in rage just trying to beat the game with every character. We were successful, by the end of the first hour or so her new name became "Plasma B*tch".

 

[Randomperson9999999]

Most recent thing is the final fight of Max Payne 3 on hardcore difficulty, not the driving part, the gun fight before that.

 

[mionic]

My wife says:
Cloud of Darkness in FFIII (DS version)

Has she tried killing all the miniboss guys? I fell for that too.
OT: I'm agreeing with that wife though, having to fight such a hard boss after all those minibosses is just excessive.
That or that Shroob princess in Mario and Luigi: Partners in time. (Shroob's the name, right? To lazy to google.) Always fail on the third form, if I recall.
