    I think I disagree on the bloater. If you think about humans as a species, it's obvious that some will be stronger than others. Or have more stamina, or have more speed or whatever. At the end of the day that boss fight was an introduction to an enemy type, rather than a full on boss, so it makes sense that it was stronger than others; like it makes sense that no one human is built the same.

    I'm pretty sure the whole point behind the Pyramid Head battles was that they were unwinnable until the end when James was ready to accept his guilt or something. You don't ever have to attack them. You can either just wait them out or run and that's generally the better option.

    The Liazalfos was intentionally nerfed later in OOT just to show how much stronger Link had become thru his slumber in the Temple of time. Therefore a miny boss to young Link is just a normal enemy to adult Link. You remember how big those pig looking things were on the way to the Forest Temple?? Pretty sure those would've one shot young Link.

      I think Jules is just stupid. I’m not trying to be mean, but the Lizalfos are a pretty tough Mini-Boss in Dodongo’s Cavern as Young Link because you are fighting two of them but as Adult Link, Lizalfos are not that much of a threat. Plus, the Iron Kunckle is the most fought mid-boss in Ocarina of Time with a total of five times in Ocarina of Time as you fight 3 Iron Kunckles in the Spirit Temple with 1 as Young Link and 2 as Adult Link and you fight a pair of Iron Knuckles in Ganon’s Castle as Adult Link. In Ocarina of Time Master Quest however, you fight a whopping ELEVEN Iron Kunckles, the first five Iron Knuckles I mentioned above, 2 Iron Knuckles in Master Quest’s Fire Temple, 2 Iron Knuckles in Master Quest’s Gerudo Training Grounds, and an additional 2 Iron Knuckles in Master Quest’s Ganon’s Castle. And the Iron Knuckle is a tough mid-boss in every encounter you fight them.

      The people at What Culture Gaming are, and I repeat are big idiots OF ALL TIME! And what I’m saying is the truth. They aren’t that very smart to claiming that Zelda fans get confused about The Legend of Zelda franchise’s 3 timelines because of Hyrule Historia when Hyrule Historia actually helped Zelda fans better understand the 3 timelines of The Legend of Zelda franchise, to getting all of the lore of Kirby and the Forgotten Land wrong and even claiming that Pokemon Legends Arceus is a spin-off game when it is actually a canon main line game because canon main line Pokémon games have new Pokémon introduced in them and Pokémon Legends Arceus has Wyrdeer, Kleavor, Ursaluna, Basculegion, Overqwil, Sneasler and Enamorus introduced in it which wouldn’t happen if Pokémon Legends Arceus was a spin-off game.

    I have one more from the Doom universe - Revenants.
    In classic Doom (Doom II - heck, even Doom III), Revenants were scary guys who shot homing missiles and had a hell of a punch. They're usually the first enemy you take down in a slaughter map, for instance. But come Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, they were... kind of neutered. Maybe it's the better firepower or the fact that you can chainsaw for more ammo or whatever, but they just devolved in the newer games.

    In the Pikmin games, Emperor Bulbax. He's the final boss in the first game, and it's a difficult fight that requires strategically sacrificing yellow Pikmin with bomb rocks to stun him. In Pikmin 2, he's a creature that spawns in various locations, is much smaller, doesn't require any real strategy to defeat, and can easily be beaten without losing a single Pikmin.

    I mean I'm not sure how you expect FS to make a massive game that is fantastic and also be able to make every single one of their bosses (over 100) completely unique. Unless you wanted the game to come out in 2025. 150 boss encounters, 112 are unique. I'd say that its a pretty great ratio for the scale of the game and open world

    • @georgen5882
      @georgen5882 ปีที่แล้ว

      That sounds like a bloated figure to me. Because not only did they reuse bosses from dungeons or other encounters several times(or more), they also copied boss designs from previous games. Elden ring was a good game, 7/10 or so. I beat it several times, it was fun. But why do people habitually give FS a pass for repeat copy paste designs that other games get trashed for? If you said 50 or 60 unique fights I might be on board. No way 112 are truly unique. Maybe unique in the sense that it’s the same boss but with a new move or two, or there are two of them. After doing as much in that game as I did I wouldn’t even believe there are as many as 50. There may not even be that much more than 150 unique enemies in general in the entire game as it is. Good game but let’s stop pretending it does all these unique things no game has ever done before. Because it does t.

    You could also put all the bosses from Dead Island 2 here.
    All the bosses are presented as a special type of zombie that you've never encountered before. However immediately after defeating the boss and leaving the area the world will be populated by that special zombie type and you usually face them immediately after defeating the boss. Making them literally go from imposing threat to common annoyance.

    Dark Souls 2's Ruin Sentinel was the most overused enemy in the game. First you fought them as an Optional Boss, there were 3 of them.

    The Lizalfos has a set number of HP, to put it on perspective the Kokiri sword would do 1 point of damage, the Master sword 2 and Giant knife/Biggoron sword 4 as base damage, all of them which can be doubled with a jump attack with the sword. Their HP pools don't change, your potential damage does. Get more research done before posting since that kind of inconsistency goes to some of the spots in this list as well.

  • @legofan6559

At the end of the fight he escaped and at a certain point (I don't know the trigger) you can get a mission where you have to finish him off but at this point you are so overpowered that it will take mere minutes to take him out for good

    The Basilisks in Dark Souls are also EASY to kill early on once you get past the smoke cloud. You just haven't gotten gud at that point making them seem hard when they're actually not if you know how to avoid their gimmick. Also to my knowledge they're NEVER boss fights so why are they on this list? Should've put the Berserker from Gears or the Scarab from Halo instead. Or even the Maurauder from Doom Eternal. Yeah the devs nerfed him, but after you beat him the first time you know the basic pattern to beat him and he's much less intimidating.

Having James just shoot his way out of it completely misses the point of the game and the enemy. Catharsis from his guilt can't possibly be found in the barrel of a gun. It's not Resident Evil, or even SH3 - you don't get a big boss fight in SH2. You just get pain.
