Weekend Open Forum: Most memorable videogame boss fights

[Alpha Gamer]

Some people have already mentioned most of my favorites, so I'll just write the ones I didn't see here.

1- Mr. Freeze and Ra's al Ghul in Batman Arkham City (Those were epic. By far, best boss fights I've ever had)
2- Spider like boss in Resident Evil 5 (the one you must throw grenades into its mouth)

- Last boss in dragon age 2 (the priestess)
-Red Dragon in dragon age origins (along with every Revenant)
-Diabo and his brothers in Diablo II (I know people already said it, but I had to say it again)
- Every pinger in Crysis 2
-Firkraig in Baldur's gate II
-Bison in Street Fighter II
-First and last boss fights in Shadow Dancer (god, this game was sick)
-Moth Man in Shinobi (ps2)

Good story gwailo247, I liked that. It brings back the very essence of childhood.

<p>The giant vehicle spewing multiple tracking munitions all over the screen, from every Japanese scroll-shooter ever;</p>

Was going to say R-Type, but you nailed it with that.

The Cyberdaemon from Doom was particularly nasty... apart from him I've not heard of any of the others mentioned here...

As I recall it took 50 rockets to finish him off... while trying to dodge his triple rocket launcher (which has auto aim...).

Either Yellow 13 from Ace Combat 4 (wasn't hard, just kinda really ****ing epic when you're 9), or "It" from Resident Evil 4.

Every boss fight in both Dark Souls and Demons Souls. Beating a regular enemy in those games feels like an accomplishment, beating a boss is more thrilling than your first childs birth. Best RPG's released in the past 10 years.

Hitler in the good old Wolf 3D on the very last level. It was the first 3D game I played, it loaded the whole thing from one floppy disk 1.44MB, it was amazing for something that small.

Razor in Need For Speed Most Wanted. What a prick!

Is it bad that I'm actually pretty excited for the Techspot Community post this Thursday?

Any boss fight in the Japanese import "Cho Aniki" for the PS1. If I had to choose one, I would say the first one. The one that looks like a ****** with a human for a penis. It's a pretty messed up game.

 

[Guest]

Archimonde and Illidan from WC3. Pretty intense. Most memorable though would definitely be Albert Wesker in Resident Evil 5.

 

[Guest]

I can't remember the exact one but the fight with Nefarious in the Ratchet in Clank Series.

 

[Guest]

for me, the Dr. Robotnik fights have been pretty epic, the most memorable of which I can remember is the Marble Garden one from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. That's because it was the first boss fight that, as I recall, happened on-flight (Tails would help Sonic by flying to the boss machine, and then Sonic would jump, damage it, fall but then Tails would pick him up.) That was also one of my most difficult DR bosses ever since when you'd lose your rings, you would be lucky if you got 1 back, the standard was to lose everything.)

That pink flying b#tch in Ninja Gaiden. I swear I tried to beat her about 100 times.

 

[Guest]

Have to say my tops are


My very first major boss, the dragon at the end of Tomb Raider 2

Evil executive chairman Drek from Ratchet and Clank

Mz. Ruby (Vicious voodoo) in Sly Cooper

The Bride in Ms. Splosion Man

Nihilanth from Half-life.

GLaDOS

and, though, I guess, not technically a boss, the very first time I "tried" to fight a Big Daddy in Bioshock 1 ... also anything that concerned Sander Choen
