Every boss battle in Arkham Origins excluding Bane. DeathStroke was hyped up so much in this and you just beat him in the first quarter of the game.
He actually gave me one of the most intense boss battles I've ever had. It all came down to just Yuzu slapping him until he died after whittling him down.TizzytheTormentor said:
To be honest, almost every game I've played in the past 5 years has felt like it was holding my hand the entire time, including the boss fights. Particular ones that come to mind right now because I've played them this year are; Deadspace 1 and Borderlands 1, both bosses in those games were ridiculously easy.
I miss playing Ragnarok Online and trying to take down MvPs with our 3-man Knight, Priest, Blacksmith team. Melee in that game against the bosses was almost universally a terrible idea, but the huge challenge of it kept us trying. I had a blast with that game.

The final boss of Bullet witch, AKA Missed opportunities: The Game.
Stage one - it stands there with a shield occasionally throwing an attack to be dodged at you.
You pour bullets into it. You pour pullets into it. You pour Bullets into it. You pour Bullets into it. You pour bullets into it. Occasionally it drops its shield and you change what bullets you pour into it.
Stage 2 - it walks back and forth and you have to dodge the same occasional attacks, and its three snake heads from one arm which are one-hit kills if they grab you.
You pour Bullets into the snake heads. You pour Bullets into the snake heads. You pour Bullets into the snake heads. You pour Bullets into the snake heads. You pour Bullets into the snake heads. The snake heads die, and it keeps walking back and forth.
You pour bullets into it. You pour bullets into it. You pour bullets into it. You pour bullets into it. You pour bullets into it. The game says you can now use your final super awesome spell attack to kill it. You do. You kill it. You get a crappy cutscene and the chance to play the game all over again on the next highest difficulty.

Final Fantasy X.
I'm... genuinely surprised that I'm the first person to mention this after nearly two full pages.
The very final fight against Yu Yevon's true form. Aesthetic wise, it's very silly. It turns out that the near omnipotent deity who's kept the world on it's knees for a millennium is a floating bug. Not a particularly interesting looking bug at that. It really seemed like the kinda design that was thrown together at the last minute.
But who cares how it looks. So long as it's still a good fight it shouldn't matter, right? Well, that's the worst part. For reasons left unsaid, your entire party is granted the Auto-Life ability, which literally means you can't die (if your health reduces to 0, Auto-Life kicks in and restores you to full health). Well, not literally literally. It is possible to lose the fight, but it requires careful strategy. Yes, strategy to lose to the final boss.

I thought Vergil was okay. I preferred the Vergil's Downfall version of the fight until I realized you can essentially just dodge-cancel him to death once you've got him in the air.ShinyCharizard said:
Mind you, I'm a DMC noob, the only other game in the series I've played for more than 5 minutes was the first. Which I wasn't very good at.
This may sound like a weird choice given the game in question has no combat, but Outlast had probably one of the more disappointing final bosses in recent memory. All that buildup just to be confronted with [////SPOILER WARNING////] some nondescript smoke monster who chases you with all the gusto of... something without much gusto, I guess. I can't think of a way to finish that sentence. Outlast is kind of a stupid game but I was hoping at least for something imaginatively grotesque.
All you need to beat that boss is Cat Nip, it works with every boss.Neronium said:That boss is the purposely made Super-Boss of the game, so I can understand why that one is a pain in the ass. Hell I still can't beat that boss.-Dragmire- said:Really? I remember getting my ass handed to me by an optional desert boss. Been quite a while since I had played that though.dylanmc12 said:
Except Trema because... Trema.
But Shuyin is a pathetic boss, I had more trouble fighting some of the Fiends before the boss then I did with him.
Halo 4: The big epic baddie of the story is killed... with a single quicktime event. As far as disappointing, I think that pretty much tops the list. At least the other halo's had some type of finale event like the warthog sequences in 1 and 3, and lone wolf in Reach.
I know it's already been said but Halo 4.........dear god what were the developers thinking? In fact, why were there quick time events even in that game?
Also Bioshock. It was a great final fight and all, but it was just SO easy even on the highest difficulty. If they'd just boosted his health it would've been fine.

Wait, which Dishonored boss are you talking about? Cause if you mean Granny Rags then I completely agree.Sarge034 said:
Fable 2. All that build up and character building and then "Press the button guy. You win! Yay!"
Eh, that pissed me off even when I was young.

Are you talking about Sora's final boss or Riku's? Marluxia gave me some trouble since you had to build a deck for two different battles and once I managed that I felt pretty proud.shogunblade said:
Riku's boss was more challenging since you couldn't build your own deck with him. That was a classic boss fight (IMO) where you're frantically dodging and trying to lay down damage while cancelling his cards. The type of boss fight where you punch the air when you beat it and then realise your controller is all sweaty from being gripped too tight.
I've completed most of the bosses from Link Between Worlds, and while they're typically fun, they're also pretty easy. Only one of the bosses required me to use a fairy, and for a couple I only took damage once or twice. Typically, 2-D Zelda bosses are more challenging than those in 3-D ones, but these have been far easier.
I was talking about the last one, the final boss. I expected the game to force me into open confrontation because this dude obviously knows how bad ass I am and would prepare for the super stealth sneaky ninja god, but no. Two dashes and a choke out later the ending cut scenes play. Although, I just found Granny to be needlessly annoying.SayHelloToMrBullet said:
In shin megami tensei devil survivor most bosses became this during the final day when I realised that physical is very overpowered.
Kingdom Hearts: Even if it was a pretty cool boss fight Chernabog was disappointingly easy.

I'm not 100% sure these are the right application, but Army of Two and The 40th Day.
Neither one has you face the big bad in a firefight (without the alternate ending DLC, which I think was free for Ao2, but still). The first at least has you fight Clyde, or whatever that dude's name was, but still. I sort of expected a fight beyond that (which they gae you in the alternate ending).
Then there's the second one, where the final fight is just another hall of bad guys, essentially. And while I only sort of expected a fight in the last game (Dalton was not a merc), I totally expected Jonah to be more than a cutscene with a shitty ethical choice.
The third has a boss fight you'd expect from a game like that, but made up for it by being kind of stupid. But I digress.

The last boss in Skyward Sword, Demise, was really disappointing for me. The first phase only takes about a minute to beat once you figure out the simple pattern, then in the second phase it's nearly impossible hurt him unless you figure out that you can do the Skyward Strike now, even though the game told you in the first phase that you can't do it anymore and it never tells you that you can do it now, and that you have to use that to be able to hit him. Then once you figure that out, you can beat him in just a couple minutes.
That's what makes it even stranger I think; the game is otherwise reasonably difficult up to that point, even more so if you were new to JRPGs. Maybe the designers felt that it would be nice to give us a easy fight at the end... a sort of "victory lap" in JRPG form. I dunno though, it probably would've been better to end the game with the fight againstWitty Name Here said:

I expected the elite 4 and Champion in Pokemon Y to be hard. I nailed the game with two Pokemon, Delphox and Blastoise. Pokemon used to be harder.
