After a whole game looking forward to a showdown, these villains managed to escape a proper boss fight! C'mon game, we need closure! Can you think of any more examples? Shout in the comments if so, and enjoy!
Hey, what do you mean don't trust shadowy disembodied voices that tell you to go and kill things? They never specified to not speak to them exactly and they sound so inviting to become.....one of us....one of us......one of us...
Lucien from Fable 2. He kills your sister, kills your dog, and is just an asshole all around. And what do you get for his "fight"? YOU JUST SHOOT HIM ONCE! HE DOESN'T EVEN FIGHT BACK! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SHOOT HIM!
The Saboteur. You've been hunting this prick the entire game bc he killed your best friend. Climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower with NO NAZI RESISTANCE WHATSOEVER, then there's a cutscene conversation between you and Dierker....leading to shooting him once with a pistol, killing him instantly, and the game ends.
Science is evil then? Or the scientists are to do evil science ... or maybe the world is evil becouse it allows the evil science to exist??? Are we all secretly evil????
Me being a paranade shep, still getting to shoot the illusive man in cutscene: well at least Shepard got to shoot him.... I wanted to have a boss fight tho
Anyone else getting Jane vibes from Maleficent? Set the lesser villains up to fall so they'll owe you for the resurrection, use them to train the heroes, set the heroes up to take down your main rival so you can have his castle, ... I don't know whether getting Jane that costume would be a wonderful idea or a terrible one, but either way it has to be done.
that makes too much sense, she was thinking a few steps ahead and knew that if she took sora down then and there she would have to deal with the organization who had the overall upperhand on her, so she swallowed her prided and took a more reserved route making safer plans while planning to down her biggest threat
I still can't get over the fight, or lack thereof, against Professor Nakayama at the end of the "Hammerlocks's Big Game Hunt" DLC for "Borderlands 2". Not at all an epic encounter, but still a memorable one.
No More Heroes & No More Heroes 2. Whenever Henry is involved, Travis is almost certainly denied a kill. Except for that time when he got Han Solo'd, and when he wanted nothing to do with having to fight a giant parade float.
I can't believe you made a video with this title and didn't even mention Halo 3 and 4 at all, because when I read it, the FIRST thing that came to my mind was that series. The Prophet has been sicking alien wars on us and killed a major character, and just gets killed in a cutscene. And with the Didact, we didn't have even have the luxury of seeing a cutscene where we beat him in a shootout or fistfight. He just kind of gets defeated- -by Cortana of all people! Damn it Cortana, you kill stealer! And so, I respectfully demand that you add this missing entry to the Commenter Edition of this video.
the combine suceeded in taking over earth, it was in a official report from the dev team. i mean the combine is a type 6 or 7 socity and humans are only a type 0.
How about “The Father” John Seed? I filled my ammo bags, loaded my rocket launcher, and after fighting in the bliss, I don’t even get to put a bullet in his bloody head?!
You included Flynn from Uncharted 2, but what about Marlowe from Uncharted 3? Not only are we cheated out of *at least* punching her, but she goes on about how we’d never kill her because of “morals” even though we’ve been mowing down *her* henchmen through the whole game - AND Drake tries to save her (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻ ━┻
the kicker about the Illusive Man stuff is that in a bonus artbook, they detail an alternative Illusive Man who WOULD be a giant boss fight, ntil the developrs decided to focus on his intelligence (meaning: he just has some metal scars on his face and just talks to you) rather than make him a big boss fight. The problem is, the Reapers are the ones giving him the upgrades and WHY WOULD THEY CARE!?
I'm surprised General Scales from Starfox Adventures wasn't on this list. I was SO looking forward to fighting him, and then Andross cheats us out of the epic showdown. Damn that Andross.
Chairman Drekk in Ratchet & Clank 2016. One of the most infuriating bosses I've faced in the original was unceremoniously turned into a sheep by a decidedly non-robot Doctor Neferious. So the anticipated rematch with Drekk while geared out in over a decade's worth of gameplay improvements is denied. Blueballs for years.
What about Commandant Steele from the first Borderlands? Berating you through the game, kidnapping your friends, shutting down the planet's commerce system, and just when you think finally get a chance to place a couple dozen bullets in her? Nope! Tentacles! Sure, she showed up in the DLC CL4P-TP's Roborevolution, but that was Commandant Steele-Trap, a robot hybrid of her and a CL4P-TP unit...with the hole still in her stomach.
Panther King, Mob Boss, and the Scientist, all in the same room, and you don't even fight them. Conker's villains never even had the chance to meet Conker until the very end of the game, and they all had no idea who each other was or why they were even enemies. The end was unsatisfying.
When i played the genocide run on undertale, I was denied the fight with sans because of a glitch that had monsters not spawn when i still had to kill 34 of them
You guys forgot to mention General Scales from Starfox Adventures. They spent the whole game hyping him up to be the big bad and literally right as the fight starts it ends and it turns out he isn't even the true main villain.
What about that guy in Borderlands the PreSequel that the villain kept hyping up during the whole level, just for him to be crushed by a giant door when you finally reach him
Let It Die; Uncle Death. He's basically like "I wanna destroy the world because humans are violent and selfish... Then again, you're too awesome so hey, I'll spare your world. Here's a giant enemy to fight... actually let me take care of that for you." Did I mention that Suda 51 is weird?
You actually get to fight Kamek in the middle forts in Yoshi's New Island. So you technically "do" get revenge against him Also, He never stole Baby Bowser. Kamek raised him since he was a baby.
Can we talk about the deadspace games? All three of them had an Antagonist that we never got to dismember!! How frustrating! ( In deadspace 2 she just happened to be near the start of the game )
General Scales from Starfox Adventures. I love this Zelda clone, but I gotta admit that I was baffled when the main villian for 99% of the game gets hit once, nothing happens & then you just forget he exists to go fight the real final boss. You don't even technically hit him. You swing, & then it goes to a cutscene where you're just mean mugging eachother.
Oh good lord, I was looking forward to shooting her in the face, and then it's a fight with some Eldritch horror? I wanted to kill her with my bare hands, cuz I'm Brick!
Are you telling me you guys forgot about Sergei from Asura's Wrath. You know the guy who kills the wife and sister of the 2 main characters because he felt like it, talks trash, and just looks punchable only to get offed in a cutscene with no revenge boss fight
You know a good boss that got totally stolen from an epic and deserved boss fight? Molstrom from Owlboy. He was literally the big bad throughout the entire game, destroying everything in his wake, including the entire floating city of Advent. And while the battle against Soren right at the end was fine, as soon as Molstrom shows up, Soren gives to the Owl Relics and you turn on an ancient, magic owl machine that, thanks to Molstrom's general pride and idiocy, got the big bad himself annihilated before you even have the chance to fight him. A lot of good build-up, but it really was a waste. I mean, good story, game, but I really wanted to put the big beat-down on the guy.
Jihl from FFXIII, they hyped her up in trailers and throughout the game then when she gets ready to fight shes picked off by the main bad guy like nothing
No cooped blisk from titan fall 2. he taunted you at the end and was right in front of you several times. Also he is the main person you are trying to get
Anyone remember Star Fox Adventures? I for one have tried to block it out. One memory remains; the anti-climactic showdown with General Scales. No sooner does the fight begin than POOF! It’s over, and it’s revealed that a rostafied Andross was behind everything! Was this the straw that broke Rare’s partnership with Nintendo?
To be fair, I'm pretty you sure get to have a classic Uncharted boss fight (running around and shooting him for a bit) with Flynn in the Uncharted 3 Co-op story mode. In the airfield. Not the same, but at least you get to moan at your mates for not pulling their weight
Rypto.... (well till the first time I finished Spyro 2...) Actually all the Spyro trilogy main antagonists! You spend the whole game looking for Nork and then the nasty bugger makes you go off and do more work to open his front door! As for the the Sorceress when you finally get around to beating the snot out of Moneybags and owning he witch! She just walks it off! Then the diabolical GameCube/PS2 post Insomniac sequels just have Rypto and gang back. Great!
I thought that the horse from shadow of the colossus stayed dead. I didnt know he lived after that bridge clasped on him. I wouldn't be able to play this game because I wouldn't want to kill those giant creatures.
A boss fight that gave me no satisfaction at all is the one in Dragon age origins against Arle Howe (when you play the human noble origin story, of course). The guy killed your family and all you get after revenging them is him saying "I deserved more". No special death animation, no epic one on one duel.... just that.
Me remembering Pewdiepie crying for hours when Agro fell.... and me crying for a few days in school. Someone would mention TH-cam or their PlayStation or horses and me and my nerd buddies just died a little more inside...
Oh and OH AND OH, what about (spoilers of Zelda botw) the latest Zelda boss, Beast form Ganon??? THAT WAS NOT A FIGHT, that was just a glorified cutscene. (And no way the 100-years-ago-Link were beaten by that un-moving, un-aiming, pig that just stays there to get slaughted.)
Commandant steele from the first borderlands game. Gets stabbed in the back by the destroyer 0.2 seconds after releasing him and revealing her plans. and the YOU have to fight the destroyer yourself. What a B*tch...
We fought Maleficent in the first game, though. Can we really say we've been denied when we actually had a battle with her before? Further, it is properly Disney to have strange alliances against the Even Bigger Bad. I deny that this was boss fight denial, and I contend that it's actually fair writing.
i know this isnt part of this topic but there was always one boss i really wanted to batter senseless and it was lan dee from shenmue he deserved a kicking and still waiting to finally kill him lol
You guys seem to forget that Dormin kept their word to the letter. Once he slayed all collossi and Dormin awakened, his dead love was indeed brought back to life. And Dormin did warn him a great sacrifice would be required. Dormin's not the bad guy.
Worse is that the game goes into combat mode with him, with him looming around you not attacking, but as soon as you hit A to take out your staff, it cuts to the cutscene of Andross telling Scales to bugger off! It teases you into thinking you're gonna fight him SO MUCH.
TheFacelessGod It’s because Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd “Nimrod” jokingly to call attention to his lackluster hunting skills in comparison to the biblical hunter. But because Elmer Fudd is very stupid, people figured it was some sort of insult to his intelligence.
And Hermaeus Mora from the dragonborn dlc of Skyrim,his voice is annoying,his appearence is disgusting,he killed the Skall shaman just for fun,he gave Mirrak his powers,and he is the only character who getted happy ending in the dlc storyline
@@jotarokujo4727 I can only hope for the dragonborn to ascend to godhood in some form and kick all the daedric princes ass. But not sheogorath, he's a good boy.
And in the timeline, Martin gets all the credit in the oblivion crisis. Leading the assault on oblivion outside Bruma AND swooping in as an energy dragon to kill Mehrunes just as you wabbajack Dagon into a bunny
Star fox adventures: You literally get a fight with the villian, General Scales, but once you throw an attack at him, the fight's ending cutscene plays. Now that's denial. N.J
I think of General Scales from Star Fox adventures. Near the end of the game it's finally the two of you alone, face to face in a final showdown. The fight starts (it actually really starts) and...at the first attack you throw at him a cutscene breaks in, in wich "some spirit" gets rid of him for you. It turns out at the end that it wasn't exactly to help or save you but still.
I got through the entire game just dying to take that turkey out; then I finally get to the good part and the bastard keels over and croaks. Jipped indeed. Downright robbed if you ask me.
Hey at least Nier Automata gave us a boss fight we never knew we wanted: a boss fight with both the Sony CEO and Square Enix CEO while they shout at you and fire projectiles in the shape of their faces. No, I never thought of fighting either CEOs but afterwards I’m glad I got the chance.
And then they did it again with the Carpenter and Walrus, and then again with the Wasp Empress (who still has an Extra Content entry but never appears in-game), and then AGAIN with the Executioner. I love Alice: Madness Returns but the way it kept slithering itself out of giving you a boss fight was frustrating as hell.
I mean that's how it works in the real world 9/10. Depending on how bad the break it of course. A small one can be fixed but obviously larger breaks that make the horse completely unable to walk (like in the game) would be put down.
With all the due respect, Luke and Ellen, I was sure of the lack of Mehrunes Dagon from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and I was not disappointed with it.
Still feel the pain of that one. It took ages for me to finally say goodbye to side quests and do that final showdown for the future of Tamriel and... BOOM, Martin goes dragon and it's bye bye Dagon. Great victory, especially if you take into account, that he was the LAST LIVING son of the emperor. Great job, lets have Cyrodiil descend into chaos. But really, I wish they would have at least given us a bit of the big battle, before Martin does his thing. Like, he needs time to prepare, right? Maybe at least give us a weapon that may not kill a Daedric prince, but will give him indigestion? Anything? Really anything would have done at that point. "sad Oblivion noises" EDIT: ESO finally gave me the chance to help kick Dagon's ass! YAY! No matter all the haters, I'll always love the game for this
I mean... I never wanted to fight Dormin, I always wanted to fight lord emond. Dormin was not good or evil, Lord emond imprisoned Dormin inside the 16 collosi because in his opinion, magic is evil. Dormin also tells you you should not follow this quest, he warns you of the sacrifice. So the true bad guy is lord emond for not only imprisoning a god because he had powerful. But because he is the one who set Mona to die, and is the one trying to stop wander from saving her and the imprisoned god.
Interesting takeaway. Can't say I've ever heard that one before. I got more of a "there are no good guys" vibe out of it. Like everyone involved was an asshole.
@@DeathGodRiku Excuse me, what? The KH2 boss fights were by far some of the best of the series. A lot of the ones in the first one were just annoying by comparison.
Even if he's given chance to have boss battle with player, he seems to be really weak. He's the brainy schemer type. He can only relies on his experiments and minions to fight you (And they're much more challenging anyway). Despite that, I think his boss battle could be more awesome if he actively joins jackenstein to battle player, and calls other experiments and minions to join the party. That would be more satisfying than the disappointing joke ending we got in hammerlock dlc. And he's a semi important plot character in Borderlands TPS & Tales from the Borderlands, so he really deserves a proper boss battle.
Regarding the Illusive Man: According to the art book that came with the ME3 special edition, TIM was actually originally drafted to be a boss fight wherein Shepard could get through to/shoot him and, after TIM's death would sort of explode into this behemoth hybrid of Reaper tech and flesh. The whole thing was scrapped for being too much of a copy of the fight with Saren in ME1, but honestly I think I would've appreciated the boss fight all the same.
mondenkindqueen I do like that final boss fight, especially the fact that afterwards, * spoilers * you get to push that stupid “doctor” right in front of a train!
admittedly, after spending so much time fleeing the Executioner, turning giant and crushing it underfoot felt appropriate. still, more than one boss fight might've been nice.
So glad I pretty much hated Solas from the start, felt nothing about his betrayal other than "so this means I might get the chance to smack him again later on?"
forgottenfamily might also see the Qunari again, they're another group I'm hoping I can smack about again like I did the Templars and the chantry in general. Seriously they've got to be one of the most repulsive civilisations within the DA universe.
I don’t think Dormin overtook them, there’s so much light at the end and all these frail creatures coming to look at the baby and not being at all scared of them there doesn’t seem to be any indication that there is some evil at work. Plus you hear Emon mention a chance for atonement implying that the horned boy, (Wander reborn) is getting a second chance to take a nobler path with Mono guiding him now as a surrogate mother.
destiny 2:forsaken entire marketing behind the DLC is about killing uldren and his barons, avenging your favourite robotic buddy. at the end of the DLC uldren gets eaten by a giant meatball straight out of mario batali's nightmares and once you kill that meatball he gets killed in a cutscene and your not even the one who pulls the trigger!

We fought Maleficent in the first game, though. Can we really say we've been denied when we actually had a battle with her before? Further, it is properly Disney to have strange alliances against the Even Bigger Bad. I deny that this was boss fight denial, and I contend that it's actually fair writing.
How could you forget about the Gravemind from Halo?
Baron Praxis from Jak 2 should have made the list
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne? The Normal Demon path where you are snuffed on fighting Kagutsuchi.
You're right, they often have thw best hair
i clearly remember whooping maleficents ass in the first kingdom hearts considering i lost to her tons of times
i know this isnt part of this topic but there was always one boss i really wanted to batter senseless and it was lan dee from shenmue he deserved a kicking and still waiting to finally kill him lol
No dishonorable mention for Metal Gear Solid's Decoy Octopus?
you should have talked about xehanort he was the one who started the mess
'Don't trust disembodied voices' - I knew EGX 2018 wasn't really closing! The Oxventure could've gone on for so much longer
You guys seem to forget that Dormin kept their word to the letter. Once he slayed all collossi and Dormin awakened, his dead love was indeed brought back to life. And Dormin did warn him a great sacrifice would be required. Dormin's not the bad guy.
Poor Maleficent. She still can't get over the fact that a bunch of weird anime guys took the Top Villain job from her.
The Mistress Of All Evil is kind of off her game.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy So, basically...Maleficent can't handle her lack of a monopoly, and keeps trying to be villainous enough to reclaim it?
@@timothymclean even going so far as to help the heroes. :p
@Jack Frost Wait, he’s not a dog?
@@SharkQuake
Nope. He's a cat.
Well, baby mario's first memory definitely explains his career in plumbing...
Oh nooooo!

Oh, wait...
scorpiñator do you think he holds a grudge towards yoshi for that incident?
Fuuuucking hell 😂😂😂😭😭😭
To be fair, Dormin made it pretty clear that he was a bad guy from the get-go, but he also kept his word and brought the girl back.
What about General Scales in Star Fox Adventures? We got cheated out of fighting him by a surprise appearance by Andross!
I can't believe I forgot about how I got cheated out of getting him back for all the bullshit he put me through at the Cloudrunner Fortress.
Yoo I was looking forward to fighting that mf ever since he was manhandling Crystal
Worse is that the game goes into combat mode with him, with him looming around you not attacking, but as soon as you hit A to take out your staff, it cuts to the cutscene of Andross telling Scales to bugger off! It teases you into thinking you're gonna fight him SO MUCH.
the only thing i absolutely hate about adventures.... well, that and not getting to bring my blaster !
Well if you were about to be beaten by a game protagonist you would try to avoid it too.
Or better yet, just don't mess with the protagonist in the first place
Kill their families, take their land and put them to work.. Wait, not that house, that boy.. he is going to grow up to be a protagonist.
@@insaincaldo I wanna see a game thats actually like that. Or a book even.
@@jaredcrabb Try to be accidentally called to action, while the villain absolutely knows not to target you for all his cruelty on the people.
10 spinoffs we wish we could actually play with any main character
Dormin spelled backwards is Nimrod. Which is exactly what one felt like at the end of Shadow on their first playthrough 🤪
Nimrod In mythology was an expert hunter/tracker. Idk why it became a name for a dummy/schlep lol
@@jerryonlychild7003 Blame Bugs Bunny
TheFacelessGod It’s because Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd “Nimrod” jokingly to call attention to his lackluster hunting skills in comparison to the biblical hunter.
But because Elmer Fudd is very stupid, people figured it was some sort of insult to his intelligence.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick
It’s like if “Einstein” became known as shorthand for “dumbass”, instead of being an ironic thing to call a dumbass.
@@enlongjones2394 Not even. At least in that case the insult’s intention was to criticize the target’s intelligence from the beginning.
Alice Madness Returns: Literally every antagonistic boss-like entity save for the final boss.
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Mehrunes Dagon
And Hermaeus Mora from the dragonborn dlc of Skyrim,his voice is annoying,his appearence is disgusting,he killed the Skall shaman just for fun,he gave Mirrak his powers,and he is the only character who getted happy ending in the dlc storyline
@@jotarokujo4727 I can only hope for the dragonborn to ascend to godhood in some form and kick all the daedric princes ass. But not sheogorath, he's a good boy.
And Sanguin and Azura they are good too,And Hircine Because he is cool
There's not a whole lot of epic boss material in Madness Returns compared to the original American McGee's Alice.
And in the timeline, Martin gets all the credit in the oblivion crisis. Leading the assault on oblivion outside Bruma AND swooping in as an energy dragon to kill Mehrunes just as you wabbajack Dagon into a bunny
Boss fight against Evil Ellen is incredibly easy. Luke just has to move all copies of Kingdom of Amalur to the top shelf until she agrees to be good.
brokentuskx What about her “Grease Trap”
Ellen's infamous meat grinder
Corazon has the grease, Marowen has the grinder
Micah Newby Well her lackey Corazon had to provide something to the Meat Grinder,
Or just capture a spider and put it within 50 feet of her.
Star fox adventures: You literally get a fight with the villian, General Scales, but once you throw an attack at him, the fight's ending cutscene plays.
Now that's denial.
N.J
That pissed me off so much as a kid

"i am the great mighty poo... and i'm going to throw my sh*t at you"
what where they smoking when they thought this up!?
I mean it is a game for adults so
Hmm 🤔, I wonder what California game designers creating a mature cartoon video game smoke...? Probably wood chips and Pepto Bismol
Some really good sh*t
Probably everything
Cocaine. Also, they didn't smoke it.
I think of General Scales from Star Fox adventures. Near the end of the game it's finally the two of you alone, face to face in a final showdown. The fight starts (it actually really starts) and...at the first attack you throw at him a cutscene breaks in, in wich "some spirit" gets rid of him for you. It turns out at the end that it wasn't exactly to help or save you but still.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of that. There is no way around it- we all got fucking JIPPED at that part.
I got through the entire game just dying to take that turkey out; then I finally get to the good part and the bastard keels over and croaks. Jipped indeed. Downright robbed if you ask me.
I agree
Well, at least it didn't go _straight_ to the cutscene, right? . . . um, right?
@@Stratelier for some reason I feel that only makes it worse.
Hey at least Nier Automata gave us a boss fight we never knew we wanted: a boss fight with both the Sony CEO and Square Enix CEO while they shout at you and fire projectiles in the shape of their faces. No, I never thought of fighting either CEOs but afterwards I’m glad I got the chance.
What?....ur kidding right?
Sandeep Krishnan haha right? It’s true. The DLC lets us fight Sony President and Square Enix president. Literally the hardest fight in the game.
You fight the CEO of Platinum and Square, not Sony.
Jeff Sousa oops your right.
There's a list for Outside Xtra: Boss fights we didn't know we wanted.
March Hare and Dormouse in Alice Madness Returns.
They show up in a giant robot only for it to immediately fall apart after a huge teapot falls on it
And then they did it again with the Carpenter and Walrus, and then again with the Wasp Empress (who still has an Extra Content entry but never appears in-game), and then AGAIN with the Executioner. I love Alice: Madness Returns but the way it kept slithering itself out of giving you a boss fight was frustrating as hell.
"Your horse is alive!"
But it's leg is broken, we gotta put it down.
Also, YOU are the Shadow of the Colossus.
I mean that's how it works in the real world 9/10.
Depending on how bad the break it of course. A small one can be fixed but obviously larger breaks that make the horse completely unable to walk (like in the game) would be put down.
I always hated that
>"Kingdom Hearts II"
>Shows clip from RE:Coded
We do not speak of RE:Coded.
@@SomewhatSlightlyBored ...I liked Re:coded.
Re:coded was my first kh game lmao. I actually enjoyed it, but I will never be able to go back to it.
>Memearrowing on TH-cam
Yeah, glad I wasn't going crazy and it wasn't actually a clip from 2.
With all the due respect, Luke and Ellen, I was sure of the lack of Mehrunes Dagon from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and I was not disappointed with it.
Hm, you could poke his toe if you wanted, so technically...
Yeah, winning a fight by going through a door was slightly disappointing.
i liked using console commands to "kill" him which actually results in him just melting in weird ways since it wasnt supossed to happen XD
Oh right! I forgot about him. Hell, Martin's the main character of Oblivion, not the player.
@@SheosMan117 Yeah, you're technically the most badass sidekick ever.
Still feel the pain of that one. It took ages for me to finally say goodbye to side quests and do that final showdown for the future of Tamriel and... BOOM, Martin goes dragon and it's bye bye Dagon. Great victory, especially if you take into account, that he was the LAST LIVING son of the emperor. Great job, lets have Cyrodiil descend into chaos.
But really, I wish they would have at least given us a bit of the big battle, before Martin does his thing. Like, he needs time to prepare, right? Maybe at least give us a weapon that may not kill a Daedric prince, but will give him indigestion? Anything? Really anything would have done at that point. "sad Oblivion noises"
EDIT: ESO finally gave me the chance to help kick Dagon's ass! YAY! No matter all the haters, I'll always love the game for this
I mean... I never wanted to fight Dormin, I always wanted to fight lord emond.
Dormin was not good or evil, Lord emond imprisoned Dormin inside the 16 collosi because in his opinion, magic is evil.
Dormin also tells you you should not follow this quest, he warns you of the sacrifice.
So the true bad guy is lord emond for not only imprisoning a god because he had powerful. But because he is the one who set Mona to die, and is the one trying to stop wander from saving her and the imprisoned god.
Interesting takeaway. Can't say I've ever heard that one before. I got more of a "there are no good guys" vibe out of it. Like everyone involved was an asshole.
Agree pal
19:55 at least oogie boogie's boss battle isn't as hard/annoying as lets say ursula or jafar
Their kh2 boss rights were baaaaaaad
@@DeathGodRiku Excuse me, what? The KH2 boss fights were by far some of the best of the series. A lot of the ones in the first one were just annoying by comparison.
Nakiyama from borderlands 2. The dude falls down a staircase to his his death as he's about to make his final stand.
I was gonna say
I always thought he should of been left crippled with 1 hp so you could shoot him once and get a little more satisfaction from the dlc.
Even if he's given chance to have boss battle with player, he seems to be really weak. He's the brainy schemer type. He can only relies on his experiments and minions to fight you (And they're much more challenging anyway).
Despite that, I think his boss battle could be more awesome if he actively joins jackenstein to battle player, and calls other experiments and minions to join the party. That would be more satisfying than the disappointing joke ending we got in hammerlock dlc.
And he's a semi important plot character in Borderlands TPS & Tales from the Borderlands, so he really deserves a proper boss battle.
-dumb ways to die....... so many dumb ways to die-
Regarding the Illusive Man: According to the art book that came with the ME3 special edition, TIM was actually originally drafted to be a boss fight wherein Shepard could get through to/shoot him and, after TIM's death would sort of explode into this behemoth hybrid of Reaper tech and flesh. The whole thing was scrapped for being too much of a copy of the fight with Saren in ME1, but honestly I think I would've appreciated the boss fight all the same.
Great, now I always think of him as Tim x.x
@@Schilani Maybe this will help: 🎶TIM he is an average kid that no one understands. Turian, Human, & Asari always giving him demands...🎶 ;)
We're just going to forget about Fable 2? This was the first one that came to mind for me.
Tek Rx
I mean, you _do_ get to shoot him once. It’s anticlimactic as hell, sure, but it’s not like you don’t get to hit him at all.
Unless you listen to his speech and the he gets shot by a bored party member.
Every single boss fight (save one) in Alice: Madness Returns.
mondenkindqueen
I do like that final boss fight, especially the fact that afterwards,
* spoilers *
you get to push that stupid “doctor” right in front of a train!
admittedly, after spending so much time fleeing the Executioner, turning giant and crushing it underfoot felt appropriate. still, more than one boss fight might've been nice.
Several words. Solas that trator elf bastard. The villan all along. And my DA bestie
That end quest took basicly all my main teammates from me
@@qwertyduckblank8278 and then SUPPRISE! solas is the ultra trator!
So glad I pretty much hated Solas from the start, felt nothing about his betrayal other than "so this means I might get the chance to smack him again later on?"
Pretty sure he's being set up as the villain for the next DA game
forgottenfamily might also see the Qunari again, they're another group I'm hoping I can smack about again like I did the Templars and the chantry in general. Seriously they've got to be one of the most repulsive civilisations within the DA universe.
You guys forgot about GENERAL SCALES from Starfox Adventures. I was ready to bash him in the head, but noooooo... it had to be Andross again.
Right! He was such an intimidating guy and I was expecting to have a long difficult fight with him to finish up the game.
Because andross wanted to face fox again
Oops. Oh well, I haven't play the game in ages.
Facts
Yes, someone else remembers this game!
I don’t think Dormin overtook them, there’s so much light at the end and all these frail creatures coming to look at the baby and not being at all scared of them there doesn’t seem to be any indication that there is some evil at work. Plus you hear Emon mention a chance for atonement implying that the horned boy, (Wander reborn) is getting a second chance to take a nobler path with Mono guiding him now as a surrogate mother.
Dr. Quack for Yooka-Laylee! All of the encounters with him is a quiz but not a boss fight, and he is the one that stole the book.
He ruined my life, I hunted him down, he kills my dog, and I can't even have retribution for any of it! Fable II is too cruel...
Not completely true, you can revive your dog in Knothole Glade using Cheet-ur's Crypt.
@@IamaPERSON True, but that doesn't take away from him having been killed in the first place.
@@rahpahgah that's also true.
And let's not forget, if you don't shoot him fast enough Reaver does it for you.
I mean.
Not that anyone waited that long to shoot him.
@@coffeepoweredkatie6290 not the first time at least
destiny 2:forsaken entire marketing behind the DLC is about killing uldren and his barons, avenging your favourite robotic buddy. at the end of the DLC uldren gets eaten by a giant meatball straight out of mario batali's nightmares and once you kill that meatball he gets killed in a cutscene and your not even the one who pulls the trigger!
Im pretty sure you both pull the trigger as both gun sounds go off you really really easy to hear with headphones on
