Or it's chiral bells and suddenly you're experiencing Yoko Taro's newest mindfuck addition to Drakengard/Nier (as a FFXIV fan the Nier raid final boss was awesome, JS)

It's hard working in an office environment.

I ate a raw Carolina Reaper the other day and suddenly heard Black Speech.

I don't necessarily hate dual bars. What I do hate is burning all my ultimates or potions or whatever to take that last chunk of health off to secure the kill. Realizing I now have to kill the boss again yet without those extras, is what kills me.

If he/she is a boss, where are their employees? Not a boss, no employees.

We've seen 3 phase boss battles. Maybe even 4.

Where's the game with a 10-stage boss battle? I wanna yell "WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE?!" after he gets up for the 6th time in a row.

[–] buggybug@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

maybe the 10 phase boss battle was us, the players all along. you die to a boss and you show up at their doorstep once more, while they are thinking “HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON”

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

What's worse is you beat the absolute shit out of them and they usually get set on fire and stabbed several times . Just fine, apparently.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

World of Warcraft had some fights that had way too many phases. Illidan had 5 if i remember right.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 14 hours ago

I know I've played a JPRG where the final boss had six stages, but it also was annoying, not epic because I was overleveled and the game wasn't hard in the first place

When the boss battle starts, but the villain is singing.

I’ll do you one better, a guitar solo comes on.

Hades’ third phase is a banger.

I reject your reality and substitute my own: when you’re a demon and you hear “KARR EN TUK” coming from over the hill

And then your life flashes before your eyes as they do a massive attack that either instakills you or deals 99% damage.

Oh the hate for the two health bars.

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Spider-Man 2 has a cool thing where every single boss has at least 3 health bars technically. You beat it the first time and then a cutscene, then you beat it a second time and you get a cutscene, and then you beat it for a third time and you again get a cutscene.

The final boss is especially annoying, where it does that same thing but just 10 times (no joke).

The fights play out pretty similar too, which doesn't help.

But I still loved the game!

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Spider-Man is one of the few games that I loved the long drawn out battles in, they made the combat in those games so much fun, and it made it feel like a proper comic book superhero fight.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh boy would you enjoy the final boss of Sekiro, 4 health bars

[–] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The first one doesn't count. It's really just a formality.
