Fucking Grigori, man.
>Offers you a chance to puss out before it even starts
>Chases you through narrow ruins and tunnels breathing fire all over you
>Chases you over the ramparts of a centuries-dead city
>Shoot the scales off his chest with a ballista
>Climb him as he speeds over a fucking mountaintop
>Survive a freefall into a huge crater
>Your closest ally and two other schmucks warp travel to assist you for a final battle to the death wherein he smashes your ass with his sheer size, divebombs you with fire breath, possesses your Pawns, and casts high level spells
Grigori is possibly the greatest dragon bossfight I've ever done.

this is an example how not to do foreground and background juxtaposition. also an example how not to do color gradient. and shading.

You sound like a nerd. Plus, I think whoever made this screenshot put some ugly filters on or something.
Old Monk in DeS. The fact that it summoned a player to fight you is great. I wish more games did this. I hope it returns in DS3, but this time as a fair fight, without giving the "boss" such a huge advantage
All Rising bosses. That was really something else.

Fighting Malus using that route without any cover is really fun. Too bad the fight is effectively over the moment you get next to him.

i enjoyed the island master fights in grimrock 2
the difference between the 2 fights is great once you actually find him he does not fuck around
and that disappointed look he has when you choose to leave the island instead of replacing him
>>316512581
That wasn't the final boss
>>316511768
Yeah pretty awesome fight.
>>316513619
Daimon is a bitch. Honestly, getting to him is so much harder than the fight. Never a good sign.

absolutely... jawdropping...
step aside, this entire piece is an amazing work of art that surpasses all other out there, I mean this fight alone could prove games as an art form...

You can't even die on Omega Flowey or Asriel though. That makes the fight kind of lame.
Sans and Undyne the Undying were way better fights.
>>316516206
You can die on Flowey, he boots you to desktop and you just get checkpoints at the souls, Asriel just starts you off from wherever you died
I don't think I've ever been more conflicted to an entry of a series I enjoy more than MGS 4. The one thing I personally will never argue about how satisfying was this fight. The culmination of everything boiled down to one fist fight as a medley of songs from past games played. I'm a sucker for this trope and I won't doubt there are people who disagree and that is just fine. However just an all out fight of stamina, no tricks, no gimmicks, was perfect to me.

I feel both would have been better if they were a straight up hard as fuck fight like Sans.
>>316516963
My nigga.
>game has a bunch of people with super powers and a bunch of crazy mechs
>final boss is two old men beating the shit out of each other on top of a submarine
That fight is fantastic

>main story version is too easy, all his moves are extremely slow, easy to telegraph and easy to parry
>Sam's version is actually way better but it ends with Armstrong wrecking you in a cutscene afterwards so it's not exactly "satisfying"
I disagree, though it was fun
>>316512630
it's fucking brilliant
you have to win at least one pvp fight in order to beat the game
name one other game that does this
This fucker on heroic and even more so on mythic.
Shagaru Magala and Dalamadur in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and also the last quest Advanced: The Master's Test.
Agni and Rudra in DMC3.
Ornstein & Smough in Dark Souls.
Mothership in FTL.
