worst game boss.

[Frenzy]

I'm sure most of us have come across a game boss we thought at one point was impossible to beat...hell maybe even made you give up the game. Perhaps he was more annoying then he was hard. Maybe his laugh made your skin crawl and made you play endless hours trying to beat him. Maybe his defense was without fault or his attacks were something you looked at in aw. This is what this thread is about. What game boss or perhaps game in general made you yell in anger. Maybe even cry in frustration. Enough to make you throw your console out the window. Ok I'm being a little over the top but let's hear it.

What game/game boss made you have nightmares?

[Venti Quattro]

Psycho Mantis -- like wtf do we really need to change controller ports just to beat you?

[Trainwreck2100]

seymore in ff10 when you are on the mountain level. I got so happy when i finally beat his ass. Only to kick myself 3 years later and figured out a strategy that made it 20x easier

[ynh]

Mike Tyson (punchout)
Shao Kahn (Mk 3 and MK 9)

Those are off the top of my head. I wanted to list a Ninja Gaiden boss, but to be honest the game is so damn hard I didn't make it to too many of them.

Mike Tyson (punchout)
Shao Kahn (Mk 3 and MK 9)

Shao Kahn is even more of a bitch to beat in the new mortal kombat game AHHHHHHH.

[ynh]

Oh definitely. The only way I found to beat him is to be cheap back. Lu Kang I would just get to the back of the screen and do the low fireball over and over again. With Radien I believe I just would telport when he was going to throw something then superman him. Still frustrating.

Tyson though I still have never beat.

[4>0rings]

Not a boss but generally a very hard game.

Anyone ever play Battlemaster on the Genesis? Holy fuck that game was impossible and when you saved, it gave you a save code about 45 digits long, wtf!

[vander]

there was this N64 game MK Mythologies: Sub Zero. I loved it, but I never even made a dent in Shinnok's health bar, and not for lack of trying, I could stay alive for a looooooong time against him.
still to this day don't know how one was supposed to defeat him, probably some simple trick that I was too stupid to figure out

[TDMVPDPOY]

crime fighters, final stage is all the boss from previous stages and multiple of them...fkn lame...


mk3 only some characters u need to do repetitive shit to eat khan...but some of teh characters have its flaws that you cant even win...remember the repetitive shit with the jump kicking just to win rounds....that was lame.

[Muser]

As a kid Sonic 2's last stage kicked my ass so much. Metal Sonic + Eggman with no rings.

[sinok]

Star Ocean: The Second Story on PSX, the main boss (Indalecio) with limiter off (The result of really specific events in the game, really have to want it or to be f*****g unlucky). He wipes you in a few seconds, never managed to beat him...

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Seth from Super Street Fighter IV pissed off my 27 year old self worse than that cheating fuck Bison ever did when I was 12.

[Drachen]

I can't think of a boss off the top of my head but my nightmare game is any of the R-types (especially III). I know the bosses for the first mega man were lightyears harder than any of the rest too.

Also, what a great topic!

BTW these games had me thoroughly convinced that the Japanese hated american teenagers and were on a crusade to cause them to commit suicide as much as possible.

Off the top of my head, I'm going to say the 10th and 13th colossi in Shadow of the Colossus.

zjWAdSicQgM and p7GByRPN-E4

I love this game, have played it through several times, but the combination of having to ride fast, control your horse, keep the colossus in sight, AND use the bow and arrow still makes me want to hurt things.

[Spurminator]

I always had more trouble with Macho Man than I did with Mike Tyson.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I always had more trouble with Macho Man than I did with Mike Tyson.

That FUCKING SPIN PUNCH! After about 20 tries with Tyson I could start to figure his timing out but I could never get that got damn spin punch figured out. Part of that I expect is that you could use a password to get straight to Tyson while getting to Macho Man meant slogging at least the World Circuit opponents.

The bosses in the original Castlevania were a progressive case study in old school frustration and gaming addiction. Probably as much a testament to my lack of skills and short temper as an 8 year old, but Igor and Frankenstein, Death, and then Dracula himself all gave me fits that built up towards a horrific profanity laced blow out at that little gray box when I had Drac down to one bar, pressed the attack button only for nothing to happen, and then got killed. Enough for my parents to ban me from touching a controller for a week.

Looking back now I can appreciate them as rather well designed examples of old school gaming. Smart, patient players could figure basic patterns and strategy that would work but took a fair amount of in game skill to implement, which is pretty much exactly what a boss fight should be.

[cheguevara]

Ninja Gaiden bosses were the shit

[Viva Las Espuelas]

There was this one boss in Master Blaster that I just couldn't get through. It was the one that was a box and it would just multiply over and over and over. Damn was it frustrating. So frustrating I never finished the game.

[DarkReign]

My memory sucks. Ive played video games since I was 5, beat countless games, remember vividly bouts of sheer frustration, but cannot recall one boss or bosses that drove me to insanity.

Its my lack of memory on the subject, not my l33t $kill$.

[vander]

that looks almost as fun as calculus homework :lol

[stretch]

I don't think there is a harder boss in any video game than Akuma in Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

Dude is fucking impossible to beat in a best 2 out of 3.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

There was a game for the NES called Ninja Brothers. It was sort of an action RPG. You'd wander around and the random encounter battles would then shift to a real time beat 'em up sort of fight. The boss fights though were done in a traditional turn based style, which was frustrating enough because it felt more boring than like a change of pace. I don't know how far my brother and I ever actually got into the game but it always ended at the same spot. There was this fucking boss who had an unstoppable attack where they'd turn you into a loaf of bread and summon a monster that would eat you. No way to block, counter, or prevent its use. Nothing your teammate could do once you got turned into the loaf. Just a fucking arbitrary game ender.

[stretch]

also, Vega on the original Street Fighter 2 was pretty damn hard on the hardest setting, because even his weak and medium attacks would count as a strong attack against you, which is really annoying because he can just jump around with his leg stuck out doing a weak kick and hit you 5 times and you are a bloody puddle of fuck.

[redzero]

Seth from Super Street Fighter IV pissed off my 27 year old self worse than that cheating fuck Bison ever did when I was 12.

He literally took me hours to beat. Fuck him up his generic fighting game boss ass.

[fyatuk]

Only bosses I've ever had trouble with are Sephiroth and Emerald Weapon from FFVII. Other than that, it's rarely taken me more than one attempt to kill a boss.

[LnGrrrR]

The first end boss in Castlevania was a bastard and a half.

Mother Brain was a pain too.

$1,000,000 says you cant beat Omega from FFV on your first try. Or second. Or third. Unless you cheat or something.

SNES was before my time but I have played it. One guy that annoyed the fuck out of me was this guy:

[BlackSwordsMan]

Voldermont at the end of the harry potter game was a tough one as well

[jman3000]

RAAM on insane solo is impossible

Talking about Gears?

I did that one solo.

Earth Defense Force 2017's entire INFERNO campaign should be considered one loooong boss fight. Over 50 levels of pure craziness. One of my proudest moments as a gamer came from making that game my bitch.

[BlackSwordsMan]

bullshit how long did it take you

[BlackSwordsMan]

On insane?

[lefty]

One of the bosses form a Neo Geo fighting game adapted on PS2

Forgot the title.......



It was some kind of clownish mad hatter who seemed impossible to beat, always moving and sliding, and laughing at your expense

Really creepy


But I got him

[jman3000]

bullshit how long did it take you

A long ass time. Probably from 4-6 hours playing off and on for a a few months. it's pretty frustrating so I'd rage quit and forget about and pick it up every now and then.

I had a torque bow and a lancer if I remember right.

[jman3000]

I have some pretty impressive achievements in my 50000 if I do say so myself.

[BlackSwordsMan]

got all of the mega man 10 achievements? if not you should. just saying

[resistanze]

Like Darkreign, my mind is a fucking blank right now.

I remember beating 3-part finall boss Jacquio for Ninja Gaiden II was a bit of a bitch, but not too much.

I need to look at my NES library again. Shit, I can't even remember bosses from PS1/PS2.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Both, easy.

I've heard that one is pretty much the hardest of all the FF bosses. I've never actually gotten around to playing through V (I have it on the PS1 anthology thing, IIRC). Not likely to anytime soon, either.

Dragon Chan... One of my favorite boxers in Super Punchout.

Probably my favorite arcade game. I could pretty much always go all the way through in one quarter, but I always lose then defending the title.

FF5 is best suited to play if you are looking for a challenge, as its pretty hard. The story is good enough to keep you captivated, but not nearly as good as FF4 or FF6. But the job system is a lot of fun, and the wide variety of special and hidden weapons and armors keeps you constantly searching.

I would recommend getting the FF5 for GBA though, for the new dungeons and stuff. There are some ridiculously hard bosses in there, while it pretty much keeps the same graphics, music, etc... as the original, just a little more enhanced.

[LnGrrrR]

Both, easy.

Eh, I remember it was a pain in the ass as a kid.... figured I had beaten the game, then Drac morphs into a damn Yeti.

And Mother Brain was easy, but still a pain in the ass, having to keep jumping out of the lava. Hence why I included that fight here in the "worst" category, because it just pissed me off. :lol

Demon's Souls bosses.

I would agree, but half of them can be beaten easily by exploiting glitches or using cheap tactics.

A situational pain in the ass at worst, but Crying Wolf from MGS4, /only/ because I kept running out of Solid Eye battery, and I pretty much never took off the Night Vision. I had an easier time with The Fear and The End in 3.
