Top 5 Boss Battles - Aero - 08-01-2007
Akuma's up there because his difficulty made the battle awesome.

The End was a good boss battle. It did have the potential to be tedious, but I still found it fun, and I can't think of any other boss battle in any game that was similar to it and was still fun to do. The Boss was pretty awesome though. Actually, the only boss battles in MGS3 that I didn't think were anything special were The Fury and The Pain. Everything else was pretty neat.

I've played and enjoyed all of the console Metal Gear games (including Twin Snakes for the Game Cube and MGS3: Subsistence which was 10x better than the original), and none of the bosses seemed especially noteworthy. Actually, I thought the bosses in MGS3 were full of lame gimmicks. D:

Anyway, what's everyone's deal with The End. It was an ok fight, but pretty boring compared to the rest of the boss fights in that game. The Boss was way more fun to fight than The End; throw in the Snake Eater theme song and a time limit and you've got one epic fight.
It was an hour long game of hide and go seek. With guns. That's also what made The Ocelot Unit and The Fear so great.
I thought the Boss was the lame one. Not only was she easy, but you couldn't even use the new camera angle. I've only played Subsistence, and grew quite fond of actually being able to see shit, so you can imagine how much that pissed me off.
PS: I've never played any Final Fantasy ever. Is that wrong?

It's not all that nice. But what may be just as bad is I've played through to about the beginning of disk 3 in FFVII about three times and still haven't finished the game. Though it's kind of hard not to know what happens anyway.
I'm sort of in the middle of VI, beat VIII a few times, haven't played IX, beat X, and in the middle of XII. Swore against MMOs (mostly) once WoW consumed my life, so XI is a no-go.

How on earth did you take an hour to beat The End? He should only take twenty minutes as long as you're not wasting time sitting around.
All the bosses had incredibly exploitable weaknesses that were intentionally built into the game: grenade The Pain into oblivion, use thermal goggles to see The Fear as well as his traps (equip the AK-47 and you can just stand in one spot shooting him to death), sweep the microphone around to listen for The End's breathing, and shank The Fury with your knife. They were the easiest bosses in the whole franchise even on extreme difficulty. The rest of game was fun, though.

The games are far more dependent on story elements than gameplay, and if you weren't gripped by the story enough to see it through then you're not going to get much out of forcing yourself to finish it.

The Boss was a lot of fun in that field full of white flowers with the theme music creeping up on you. I haven't played that in a long time and forgot about it.
Has nobody else here played Shadow of the Colossus? If you want epic, you go play that game. Shit.

Finale doesn't count because there are no bosses, Kiro. Just other players.

But Glaciel was an NPC account! Jeal always just logged into it.

Actually all three times it was due to a memory card corruption or new games that warranted my attention. So one day it'll get done, I swear.
And @ Kami, I'm definitely wanting to go grab a copy of Shadow of the Colossus soon. Is it worth shelling out the $20 or would I be better off just borrowing it from a friend for one run-through?

OMFG It's way worth $20! I paid more, but I got a good deal on it at the time when it came out. That's the goddamn deal of the century right there. Plus, once you play through it once you unlock the time attacks for the Colossi, as well as hard mode. You've also got the option to continue playing your game in a "New Game+" kind of deal, where you retain your health and grip meter from the previous run through. You get health from fruit trees, and grip from lizards with silver tails, as well as beating each colossus. I heard that once you play through a few times you'll be strong enough to climb up the main tower you always return to and fight one more colossus. You can also go up to the dead body of each one after you kill them and fight them again, I forget what they call it but it's got this sepia tint to it like an old movie. You also get to ride your horse around a beautiful landscape. Do yourself a favor and buy the game.
And for bosses, I always thought the King DeeDee/Nightmare battle in Kirby's Adventure in Dream Land always got the blood pumping.

Oh good, I love games with that kind of replay value (which tend to be Capcom games, a la Devil May Cry, RE4) so I'll pick that up like. Now.
Top 5 Boss Battles - Kami - 08-01-2007
Good. Then nobody will see you around here because you'll be completely enveloped in the game. Half the fun is just finding those big buggers, and then figuring out how to kill them. Your horse (Aggro) is a total badass by the way. Oh, and to make your life easier, he'll keep running once you get up to speed if you just hold down X, you don't have to keep smashing the button. Just a heads up.
Top 5 Boss Battles - Kirano - 08-01-2007
What's fun about fighting the end is that there are so many different ways to approach him, whilst fighting him. I even snuck up to him with a machine gun. Using the sniper from a long distance pwns too. Being stealthy was all but fun.

Uh.
Any boss in Shadows of the Colossus, except possibly the last one.
Seriously.

That last one was a bastard! What's wrong with him? Did you think it was too easy or something? I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious.
Top 5 Boss Battles - Belle Hibiki - 08-01-2007
He just didn't seem as appropriately epic to me as some of the other bosses.
The method for getting to the magical weak spot, although a clever trick, seemed relatively bland when compared to jumping up and catching the wing of a bird bigger than a house and then crawling along it as it soars thousands of feet in the air, trying to avoid losing your grip and plummeting into the water so you can stab it in the motherfucking head.
Compared to that, the final boss, with his stationary "I'm a tower!" theme, seemed weak to me, but YMMV.

*Ponders*
What's his face....dude from Chrono Cross..
*Googles*
Time Devourer - the last fight you have with him. He's a bitch.
I got the bad ending like 5 times before I actually tried to do everything color coordinated and whatnot, which was like, 10x harder.
Actually....who's the dude with the Masamune in Chrono Cross..?
He's gotta be the hardest boss in that game.
Top 5 Boss Battles - Raditzu - 08-01-2007
That would be... Masa and Mune.
And that one's only hard if Chrono hasn't learned Slash yet. Not sure how you'd manage that, though.
