The lack of repeated "lists" and same ideas is incredible. Channels like Whatculture and Gaming bolt always rehash lists and constantly discuss the same games or the same sections in games. Gameranx seems to always have ideas or shine light on less discussed games or sections. Been a viewer since early 2015 and it's never a dull moment.
See i like Jules from whatculture but I do know what your talking about it seems like you hear the same list from 4 different people but on this channel it's always fresh
@@MisterChubz and on top of having a good reason for reusing the list they usually say right off the bat that they are reusing it. Love the transparency.
Something I didn’t know about Ratchet and Clank until recently is that there actually is a way to strafe, it’s just not exactly ideal. The only way you can strafe is to double tap the crouch button with jetpack Clank. You’ll start to “hover” and it lets you strafe at the cost of jumping. It wouldn’t help much in the drek fight tbh but it’s definitely something interesting that I never found out about until decades later.
The One Bossfight that really got me furious was Sepharoth from kingdom hearts two. I was 15 years old. He was difficult in the first game but he was even worse in the second game! It took me a whole summer to defeat him! Thankfully I was able to craft the ultimate weapon and That really helped me lol 😆
@@Jelanirice if I recall correctly I think I was level 60 when I fought him with the ultimate weapon. Before that I was using oblivion and that did not work at all!
"..Many of us were young and just getting into videogames..." Me (a 40 year old who's first boss of note was ED 209 on level 1 of Robocop on the Atari ST in 1988) I too remember being young once! I think.....
Seymour Flux finally getting some recognition - I remember him wrecking my shit all those years ago. The rest of the game is pretty straightforward then you come up against him, and Yunalesca not long afterwards who is arguably even tougher. Seymour Flux and Yunalesca were a real sudden difficulty spike
For me, it was the final 3 bosses from Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. I've never beaten them as a child, so I decided to emulate the game last year and it took me 4 hours to finally beat my childhood trauma.
YAAASSS!!! Animated Falcon is back!!! So happy I may watch it twice, does that help the algorithm or whatever tf it takes to include way more animated falcon in the vids where Falcon is narrating?
If you between 23 and 30 you had the best childhood, gaming just felt different back then halo 3 ,crysis bo2 nfs underground the list goes on ..gaming was just better back then and I don’t know why😂
I totally agree with this whole list. Dealing with a boss fight where either the boss is ridiculously OP or you’re majorly nerfed when the fight starts is often enough for me to completely stop with the game.
I don't even remember how many times i have installed and uninstalled POPT2T all these years because of king's road but finally this year i was able to clear the stage and finish this game for the first time. Then i went ahead and finished 1st and 2nd one too.
“A bit long in the tail feathers.” 🤣 I remember that fight in FFX. The worst part of it all was all the dialogue that you couldn’t skip. Seymour loves his blah blah blah and if you died you’d have to hear it all again.
Vexx had an extremely difficult end boss which was just leaps and bounds more difficult then the game itself, I dusted off my old game cube a few years ago and played it right till that boss... I never did defeat him.
The Seymour Flux fight really did hit out of absolutely nowhere. I was 14 when FFX came out, and still not a fan of grinding for XP. That fight alone made me regret all my life choices, and looking back I don't think it was too incredibly difficult, but if you go in under leveled then you're absolutely screwed.
Good call on FFX. that fight is brutal if you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s BS that in some cases he can cast zombie and full life without giving you a chance to do anything in between.
Not to brag, but I was really good at Prince of Persia The Two Thrones, when I played it as a kid. I beat it on all difficulties and this boss fight was no problem for me.
Seymour was tough but there are monsters you can fight via the Monster Breeder or whatever it was called and those creatures couldn't be beat even with cheats.
I’d love to see a list of the loot drops that make no sense. Nothing made me laugh harder than when the Elementals in World of Warcraft would drop homemade cherry pies. 🤣🤣
Great Vid. Just got to two and was wondering if I would see a Fromsoft boss. I’m currently playing Sekiro and god damn it, it can be so frustrating but so rewarding upon beating a boss. Guardian ape right now is pissing me off
Seymour was my fav boss of the generation. Horrid and creepy and all round bad egg, even before h3 betrayed you. Every fight leaves you needing a wash after
Man, how old are the people on this channel. Cus I was like a senior in highschool when Dead Space 1 came out. It didn't get a chance to be in my childhood.
yoooo forreal #10... i never played the game, but some of the most frustrating things in games EVER, is requiring you to use an entirely different game mechanic than 99% of the rest of the game to progress. mixing gameplay up is fine but offer a workaround for people who cant or dont want to deal with new janky controls that wont even show up again.
I can’t believe there weren’t any bosses from Ninja Gaiden on here… I’m pretty sure, the first boss, Murai (the nunchuck guy) was a brick wall of difficulty for just about anyone who played the game for the first time. If you managed to progress further in the game, you’ll also face another hugely difficult boss in the form of Alma. I still thick she’s one of the hardest bosses ever. But Murai was the VERY FIRST BOSS, and he’s probably the second or third hardest in the whole game. Ninja Gaiden didn’t mess around.
Number 1 and 2 are actually trash entries because all you need to do, if you can't beat the boss, is level a little more, come back when you're stronger and fight boss again.
Honestly I remember ace hardlight in ratchet deadlock being way more annoying that chairman drek. I just basically stayed in the center resting the clock while I killed him. No problem. I beat that mission for my dad when I was like 5 or 6 and this is when the game was brand new
10. it's like i have to think ahead and move ahead before i attack it. 9. it get very annoying when you have to dodge every seconds. 4. it's fucking hard and annoying.
Eh. I agree on the DS one as well as on Jinpachi. But all the others, no clue. Though I think you missed a couple. First is Shao Khan in Mortal Kombat 9. Try telling me you dont see him as deserving to be on this list. The other is that robot end boss character in Street Fighter 5.
Honestley that fucking poison pig in assassins creed odyssey fucked with me so much, it took so many hours and when I finally beat him I realised how easy it could've been if I did something different
God, this year is all about making our generation feel old as shit. Most of these came out when I was a man. Now the kids that played these are adults. Fuuuuuuuuu*k
I disagree on the chairman from ratchet and clank just get the damn ryano with it he goes down in like seconds and no boohoo it's too expensive just use the damn exploit/glitch in the hoverboard arena like we all did For the younger gamers there was glitch/exploit that basically allowed you to get a shit ton of in game money and bypass the grinding to get the ryano a mini rocket launcher that was the most powerful weapon in game and could mow down any enemy
@@gameranxTV Easily the worst fight of the 2000s for me was Kamsky from Cold Fear, he hits pretty much every bad boss checklist, mechanics that are nothing like anything you've done previously in the game? check, an escort section? check, no health-pick ups during the fight? check, attacks that are difficult to consistently dodge and do way too much damage? check, attacks that are poorly telegraphed? check, being unable to directly damage the boss making your weapons basically useless? check The only way of defeating him being a ridiculous solution that pretty much no normal players would ever guess in a million years? check. It's sad because Cold Fear is otherwise a really solid game, but that horrible final boss fight really turned me off from ever playing it again.
@@gameranxTV well talking about Prince of Persia I find the fight with Kailina(2nd encounter) and just after that Dhaka to be more difficult than this one(from warrior within). I mean no kidding but I really beat those two guys from the two thrones in my 2nd attempt during this boss fight. They are pretty easy to beat if you are good at rolling.
That was for sure one of the most stressful gaming sequences I've ever been in, as a kid I didn't know sometimes you could be safe from him so it was pure terror from start to finish 😭😭😭

Literally came to the comment section to say the same thing. I had to level up to 99 to even try to fight him. He’s level 70 😒
@@Jelanirice if I recall correctly I think I was level 60 when I fought him with the ultimate weapon. Before that I was using oblivion and that did not work at all!
I have to agree. I remember dying like 50 times then beating him after a rip of a bong, was surreal.
@@samsherrington7423 you just needed to calm your soul before battle lol
Sephiroth reminded me that potions and elixirs existed in the game lol.

The final bosses in Rogue Galaxy had me stuck for a whole year. This was before I learned about the concept of grinding.
If you between 23 and 30 you had the best childhood, gaming just felt different back then halo 3 ,crysis bo2 nfs underground the list goes on ..gaming was just better back then and I don’t know why😂
Cuz you had to actually beat the games with no playthroughs
The 80s and 2000s had the toughest bosses.
I totally agree with this whole list. Dealing with a boss fight where either the boss is ridiculously OP or you’re majorly nerfed when the fight starts is often enough for me to completely stop with the game.
You forgot about Isaac Frost from Fight Night Champion. Even on easy he’s still incredibly hard to beat.
"The Boss" from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was one difficult, bad ass lady! Hideo gave her THE proper name!
The final stretch of back to back bosses in Ninja Gaiden was Brutal.
Yeah I was in high school during 2000 to 2004. Still some fond memories of PS2 and GC, and a little Xbox.
Top ten times songs perfectly fit with what was happening
While Seymour Flux was difficult, it was bearable unlike Yunalesca. That boss just drove me insane.
I don't remember having that much trubble with the asteroids on the 360 or the boss but back then I absolutely loved dead space
Any gameranx video I watch I like even before watching it because I’m gonna like it after anyways
I don't even remember how many times i have installed and uninstalled POPT2T all these years because of king's road but finally this year i was able to clear the stage and finish this game for the first time. Then i went ahead and finished 1st and 2nd one too.
I instantly felt PTSD as soon as I heard dead space turret sections all that time on my PS3 was a nightmare
Oh yes, of course, childhood. I was also a child in the 2000s.
“A bit long in the tail feathers.” 🤣
I remember that fight in FFX. The worst part of it all was all the dialogue that you couldn’t skip. Seymour loves his blah blah blah and if you died you’d have to hear it all again.
"Ol falcons a little long in the tail feather"
Me too, falcon..me too
Vexx had an extremely difficult end boss which was just leaps and bounds more difficult then the game itself, I dusted off my old game cube a few years ago and played it right till that boss... I never did defeat him.
I'm proud to say that I never had an issue with the slug boss in Dead space
I graduated high school in 2001, so yeah, my prolonged childhood aswell
👌

i could only add one more to this list and its issac frost from fight night, that fight was ridiculous.
Ok im old lol, I remember having trouble with Spyro 2 bosses, such a pain. But I beat them
Raam, from the original Gears of War, on Insane difficulty absolutely ruined my childhood
Good call on FFX. that fight is brutal if you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s BS that in some cases he can cast zombie and full life without giving you a chance to do anything in between.

Bru I stop playing ffx for about 6 years because of Seymour. Thank god for TH-cam ffx masters. Finally beat him in 2019
Another great list. Really hits my nostalgia bone on one of the greatest decade in gaming
Thanks
I never made it past the first RNCOUNTER in the digimon game for PS1
100% agree for ratchet and clank. I went broke trying to beat him. Then grit my teeth and earned enough to buy the ryno then it is super easy to beat.
Seymour was tough but there are monsters you can fight via the Monster Breeder or whatever it was called and those creatures couldn't be beat even with cheats.
I remember that I just gave up on the prince of Persia when I couldn't defeat the twins
holy crap you brought back my trauma from POP. I was that dude who had to restart the whole game. 💀
You can strafe in Ratchet & Clank by holding L2 or R2. Drek isn't even that difficult.
Cynthia from Diamond and Pearl should have been on this list. She was the stuff of nightmares
I’d love to see a list of the loot drops that make no sense. Nothing made me laugh harder than when the Elementals in World of Warcraft would drop homemade cherry pies. 🤣🤣
Man, for how old dead space is, it looks amazing.
Jun kazama's final form from ttt 2 is way harder than jinpachi or azazel , but that's just me , love your videos 👍👍👍
U-3 in RE4 definitely poked my ass a ton
Great Vid. Just got to two and was wondering if I would see a Fromsoft boss. I’m currently playing Sekiro and god damn it, it can be so frustrating but so rewarding upon beating a boss. Guardian ape right now is pissing me off
Megaman Juno from Megaman Legends for PS2 had me yanking at my hair as small kid, this a while after the game had came out.
Man called 2000 going way back. I feel so dam old 😂
I’m watching this in the other room, it counts down to #1 and my wife yells from the other room
“Oh that fucker!”
I was in my mid-teens to early 20's in the 2000's.
I remember the asteroid section in Dead Space but I don’t remember fighting the alien
Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts 2 was my biggest pain
Holy shit yes I remember the #1 from this list…. It made me quit FF10, and I didn’t believe any of my friends who said they beat it when I was a kid.
Seymour was my fav boss of the generation. Horrid and creepy and all round bad egg, even before h3 betrayed you. Every fight leaves you needing a wash after
11 year old me did not have a chance against Copy X from Mega Man Zero.
Probably not in the 2000's, but perhaps Zinyak (In Robot) from SR4?

R&D1 first boss is absolutely balanced and fair
....you alright Falcon? Sounding different today lol
#2 was an epic fight that im pretty sure i died a bunch of times trying to beat
Shinobu is one of my favorite characters in No More Heroes.
I never got past that point in Prince of Persia. Haunts me to this day

the first time as a kid when i faced alma i annihilated her in less then 5 tries though i cannot remember much of my childhood due to critical trauma
Shao Kahn in shaolin monks was brutal..dammmn
I will be surprised if anyone even knows who this boss is let alone how difficult but... Borgan. Dear God that had to have taken months.
my nightmare was the three phase boss atop the gauntlet tower in Ninja Gaiden.
Number 1 and 2 are actually trash entries because all you need to do, if you can't beat the boss, is level a little more, come back when you're stronger and fight boss again.
Jake.. falcon.. falcon.. Jake.. the same person.
Sly Cooper had some of the hardest bosses
Youch, restarted that seymour fight soooo many times
The boss that made me give up on a game was that vampire witch lady from devil may cry 3. She was brutal. Anyone agree?
Awesome video.

Hmm, I wonder how they’ll change the turret sections for the Dead Space remake
errr, never had that problem with dead space on xbox, the turret moved pretty quickly
Tekken 5's final boss, the only way I was able to beat him with every character was by turning block damage on.
Dude u were right on dead space shooting , i died like hundreds of times hated alot
You didn't need crazy bosses in the '80's because the ENTIRE game WAS a crazy boss 🤣
10. it's like i have to think ahead and move ahead before i attack it.
