This creepy fuck popped into my head. I remember renting DOA 2 with a friend of mine for a sleepover at his house. MF'er lived deep in the woods and it was pitch black at night. This scary fuck comes on the screen raving about the world being it's delusion and all of a sudden you're fighting.

Very intense for the boob jiggling horny fighting game.

it's hard to pick between Yves omelette du fromage, Bobby Kotick, or the EA guy who went ham with the gambling.

oh you mean characters, uh i guess anything where a game with mechanical depth turns into mindless QTE shit instead of something interesting.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

mindless QTE shit

The last boss in Shenmue 2, beat him only to lose in the QTE.

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

even better, qte's where the rebinds dont get displayed properly so you have to do the fight 20 times to figure out what button 'mous....' is

(this is directed at the Witcher 2)

Seymour from FF10, his third form.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that the one where you return to Belvelle? I was always stuck on that and the other big boss at that part of the game back in the day.

[–] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

No the fight on mount Gagazet. The one where he just one-shots party members.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I never beat FF10 because of Seymour being a wall I couldn't scale.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I did manage to make it through him, but I got super mad a few years later when I found out you can just cheese him with a handful of phoenix downs.

THE FUCKING SIREN BOSS FROM BIOSHOCK INFINITE

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[–] makotech222@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

All of elden ring, but especially the first boss, morgott i think? Fucking input reading bs lol.

[–] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Co-op carried me through basically every boss battle

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

That or the easy button summons lol.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

god he took me so many tries that watching someone attempt the fight made me realize I wore an extremely deep groove into my brain. my shoulder twitches every time you have to dodge two fucking years later.

does he actually input read, though? I remember baiting him with spacing to consistently get free hits and then dying because I got greedy and went in for just one more with a large club that locks you into a swing for an eternity. if you run to the far side of the arena from him, he does the slow, heavily telegraphed flying attack eventually so you dodge under him, let him do a combo in the wrong direction with just enough space that he can't do the reverse claw/tail swipe thing, watch for his shoulders to relax, immediately jump attack and dodge again as soon as you connect, and break for the opposite side of the arena to rinse and repeat. he always looks like he's open to one more swing and he will get you if you fall for it.

so I think what he does is entirely in relation to where you are relative to him? dunno though, I wouldn't put it past them to cheat the difficulty. I'm really bad at reading tells and reacting fast enough so I had to come up with safe strats like that for every fight and just gave up on the game because fuck doing that much work to play a game.

[–] makotech222@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, all game enemies technically read inputs, but what was especially annoying about this character is that he has attack chains that specifically wait for you to do inputs like attack or dodge before he launches his attack, like in here 'https://v.redd.it/qrpsnj3s2e9b1' where he holds his staff up waiting for PC to do something.

Anyways, all the bosses in this game felt super cheaty like that.

God bless the 3D Sonic games and their broken jank.

Shadow The Hedgehog is firmly in "so bad it's good" territory and I will die on this hill

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I love that trash game holy shit.

lol doa 2 you've unlocked some crazy memories of me playing that on dreamcast with a friend the counter system was dope you could eventually unlock this guy too

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the counter system was dope

it's bonkers to me that nobody else has made a "triangle system" game.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

We were vibing with the cool counter system and knocking fools of the stages then this demon comes in and wrecks your shit.

[–] ped_xing@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Omega Pirate from Metroid Prime or the weed guy with the alien army from GTA V.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

four kings from DS

also there was some stupid boss in robocop vs terminator for sega genesis that I couldn't beat as a kid. I'm still mad about it to this day

[–] Blep@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Sekiro bull, why give me sick ass parries then not let me use them?

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Demon of Hatred can eat my heckin butt

[–] Kaputnik@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm so glad he's optional so I can skip him on every replay

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I cheesed his ass off a cliff

[–] Kaputnik@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big same, I just wanted to get back to parrying and sword fighting not whatever he was doing

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

lol right, Bloodborne is that way ----->

[–] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I'm one of the few weirdos who actually loves Demon of Hatred. For whatever reason his tells are just so much more legible to me than just about any other Sekiro boss and I like the rhythm of the fight. Also, you can parry him a surprising amount! Parrying his stomps feels awesome once you figure out the timing. He definitely has some really, really bullshit moves, but I've found that if you're right up in his crotch he almost never uses the extreme bullshit moves. It's still a very long fight and when you die halfway through his third health bar it fucking suuuuucks, but I dunno, overall I really like the fight!

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thunderblight fucking gannon

[–] Deinonychus@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's fairly easy if you are able to time the parrys and flurry rushes

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah well I'm not kitty-cri-texas

[–] CrackBurger@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Soulsburgers must agree that bed of chaos is disappointing on my first playthrough it took me at least 30 attempts, very annoying boss with the weirdest most tedious way to get to it, takes like 1 minute and a bit just to get to it only for me to die once I enter the arena.

Personal choice is Sif the wolf

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Malenia Elden Ring.

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Midir made me hollow.

I could roll all day with Demon In Pain/Demon From Below/Demon Prince though, those guys are fun

[–] LGOrcStreetSamurai@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alma from Ninja Gaiden on the OG Xbox. I deserve a medal for my service.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a game I never touched because of it's difficulty, you're a brave one.

[–] LGOrcStreetSamurai@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it was a combination of that youthful gamer-goblin brain and something about the animation of those games still really feel satisfying. Gamer-brain really pushed me to that weird "I am a man you a machine, you will not best me!" and the animation was just so damn slick. Fun game and a good game, but goddamn it was tough one. Even knowing the tips and tricks I don't think I could do it today.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I feel you on that. As I've gotten older my skill with games has plummeted, nowadays rpgs and mmorpgs are more my speed.

I might be an outsider here, but I think the final fight of TOTK sucks ass.

The bone dragon in level 3 of Castlevania Chronicles/Akumajo Dracula X68000. Konami why, my ass in shambles kitty-cri-screm

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Ngl the first time I fought Smough and Ornstein was one of the most frustrating gaming experiences. It's a pretty easy fight now but that first play through was rough

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

The yellow car in RC Pro Am for the NES. That fucker cheated.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Vagullion from Ys I is pretty bad, the timing for hitting the boss is strict and the bats move in such random patterns that a lot of it comes down to pure luck.

Any boss that has multiple forms and you have to start all over after dying. The first boss from Sonic 2 on the Game Gear, incredibly unfair.

[–] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Final Shao Kahn fight in MK9. Been a whole ass decade since I played a fighting game but that fucking cheesefest is still burned to the back of my skull.
