What bosses actually, and I mean ACTUALLY, fucking CHEAT or break the rules of the video game to seem "challenging?"
>>333060493
any fighting game boss
they read your inputs so its easy to be countered or dodged
>>333060493
bump for interest
First for soul cali v
Broke the entire fucking game to hell and back.
I know it was bullshit that you had to fight all three of them, but how did they cheat?
>gank squad
>cheating boss
the only bad thing about it is playing tag until two of them drop.
its boring not bullshit.
>>333060868
not OP and I haven't even fought them, but afaik they can cancel attacks mid animation or some shit like that
>>333060493
The Gank Squad wasn't that bad. Still a shitty boss but it was kind of fair when you exploit their AI
The worst was Elana the Squalid Queen. If you're beating her solo is is doable but it comes down to luck. If she summons the big guy you're literally fucked in the butt. The skeletons are annoying to because sometimes they just feel like rushing non stop.
I don't play RTS games, but I've been told that AI sometimes do impossible things in those games.

> long ass fucking road to get to the arena
> Each cat is as strong as Avaa
> Unblock-able attacks
> Second one jumps when the first loses half of its HP
> Second one gain buff and do double dmg when the first one dies
This boss fucks me so hard for soloing. This is clearly meant to be defeated with summons.
>>333061207
A lot of games just have one actual AI difficulty level and then give them double resources/double build rates on higher difficulties.
>>333061315
I spent a week grinding this boss. And eventually gave up. Was on NG+6 and I figured I would just never beat it. Came back to it a few months later and beat it on my 4th try. It really didn't seem that bad. But I rely completely on rolling I don't use shields.
>>333060868
Just general DS2 npc/red phantom cheating. Tracking, animation cancelling, rolling out at anytime and not giving a fuck. Combine 3 of them and the fight just becomes doing laps around the arena hitting one of them every now and then
>>333061040
The gimmick in DaS2 was basically "look at how these enemies can do shit that you clearly can't and will never do, lol!".
Enemies with straight up Dark Souls 1 poise were a thing, but your character in full Havel's got stunlocked if an enemy literally slapped you gently on the chest.
>>333060613
This. Anything that uses input detection is bullshit. I quit playing Dissidia because there is no middle ground between piss-easy "I stand here and take everything to the face" fights and "I rape your shit by impossibly breaking the game" fights in that game. Everything is entirely contingent on whether or not the AI acts accordingly to your input, and on the higher difficulties it's stupidly easy to lose to an enemy that sits there and waits for you to attack, then immediately counters with a move that parries your attack and damages you at the same time.
>>333061750
I absolutely despise games where a medium difficulty is fucking piss easy and the next one up is satan's thorny cock in your earsi have this problem with AoE2HD
>>333061174
That fight was fucking awful. Having the those skeletons running around while big old shiny track-attack was still alive was pure bullshit. Her and the npc invader that used the lance from Iron Crown are where I stopped playing the game. Watching his thrust attack track 90 degrees to the side mid-animation was the straw that broke the camel's back.
>>333061315
>This is clearly meant to be defeated with summons.
Good thing the game's matchmaking doesn't fuck over coop. That would just be awful.

The only way that I know how to beat the hard Aoe2 AI is to hold out until they run out of resources. They don't know how to set up trade carts/boats to keep themselves supplied in the lategame.

Then don't block. Rolling requires less stamina and lets you roll-attack for free dmg.
You get so many i-frames with decent adp/dwgr its ridiculous.

Oh my god every Shao Khan fight, his attacks that summon the energy/ghost/whatever it is hammer. I swear he can do all of those attacks at will in the middle of anything you're doing, they're instant, and they all have priority over every move you have. I only ever beat him because I got lucky and he didn't use those moves very often.
>>333061750
Git gud and improve your build, Dissidia isn't hard at all except for Feral Chaos
>>333062142

>>333062653
That's not cheating at all though
>>333062064
It's self explanatory. That boss is bullshit. He's like a rapist on viagra.

>>333061315
All of those areas with the weird statues at the beginning are designed for co-op. There are simila statues at the beginning of the dlc areas that people that didn't have the dlc could put their signs down on to be summoned for those bosses
I'm pretty sure the Battle Tower and related facilities in Pokemon cheat when you start doing good. Everyone will have Pokemon, items, and moves that perfectly counter yours, and I swear probability starts shifting in their favor so that they're more likely to hit with inaccurate moves, get critical hits, have secondary effects activate, etc, while you're less likely.

>>333063495
It's a bit disappointing.
Each zone only contains a small variety of enemies and the core of them are "spear, sword or greatsword" variants of a basic soldier type and it spams huge numbers at you (you'll go through lots of repair powders).
There are boring clones of existing bosses and ones that are literally just regular invaders with huge amounts of HP.
Most bosses have really tedious runs up to them, especially optional ones.
All the bosses seem balanced too heavily around using summons. They all have huge amounts of HP which increases your chance of fucking up when dodging their 1hko moves.
If you have a magic build, you will have a fucking terrible time. Rather than create bosses that make spellcasting challenging, they just made almost all bosses resistant to all forms of magic.

Not a boss, but the AI in Civ V cheats on higher difficulties by having units magically spawn without having to build them.

>>333065862
They start with more techs researched, more units, and I think don't have to follow the rules of the game at all. They basically ignore resources and do whatever they want, Deity AI can found a city on a bunch of ice tiles and end up with 30+ pop.

>>333061726
I can't bring myself to get past the first few areas because everything feels so awkward and unbalanced. There are several enemies that can attack faster than you can raise your shield or dodge, meaning you have to be lucky, absurdly careful, or precognitive to make any progress. It's just poor design compared to the first game where no enemies really had unfair attacks. Sure, they were tough and you might die on the first few encounters, but at least defeating them was based more on skill than luck.
>>333066949
The whole game is just filled with poor design. Not saying everything in it is bad, but there's enough bad to drown out the good.
>>333061315
I failed like 30 times due to those fucking horses before the boss but beat the boss itself on second try

I love a lot of the boss and area designs I've seen, but when the combat- the thing you spend 99% of your time doing- is both dull and stacked against you, it's not remotely worth the effort.
I enjoyed Dark Souls and Bloodborne so much that I've been ignoring other games and replaying those two over and over instead, but Dark Souls 2 is suffering.

>>333067730
Their poise felt random and I recall them tanking the great club heavy attack several times while on another playthrough I staggered one of them with a rapier thrust. Other than that they had the ability to interrupt attacks and even rolls to roll an extra time when they should have been fucked
>>333065087
of course you would like him...
he's LITERALLY /v/: The NPC
smhtbh...
>>333068175
But that's not really new, NPCs were always kinda bullshit in souls, granted you didn't absolutely have to fight 3 at a time before.
I think staggering the 2 not-Havel's is fairly easy.
I really had no issue with this fight other than how fucking disappointing and creatively bankrupt it was. It was easy as fuck because AI was still as great as ever.
>>333060493
technically not a boss but fuck this dude, seriously.
I would consider 155 Strength and 255 luck "cheating" when the max the character can get, unassisted with potions/spells, is 100.

>>333068047

Actually, giant seed doesn't affect him in the Ivory King DLC since he doesn't count as an invader, but instead as an area mob.
This means that using a seed there makes him hostile towards invaders.

>>333069928
There is a fucking snow area? I know that there are 2 poison areas and 1 forge area that I haven't found yet. But I've got no fucking clue where any of them are. Fuck this game.
>>333060493
>boss has invulnerability or immunity to all elements
Stop doing this. Stop. The boss is already stronger, has probably thousands more hp and can one shot you. There is no excuse for him having any form of invulnerability at any point. If you're going to put fucking elemental damage in the game I shouldn't be locked out of using it because hurr this boss is super duper strong and inbincible.. also he can't really die he just gets knocked out.. also he can fly and learn all of your attacks and he can run faster than the speed of light time 100.. also you can't damage his face or body only his pinky toe every 7 attacks
Bosses in games are like playing with that one kid.. who refuses to lose a game so he just makes up bullshit rules as he goes.
>>333070068

I believe the poison areas are through the bottom of the well in Majura, and past the forest with the ghost phantoms
>>333070078
Gonna need a few examples here bro.
>>333070204
Oh I've just found the DLC areas, and so far I hate it. It just seems to be, spam 50 more enemies everywhere. Not that poison area, the poison area with the snake lady. Unless that's there too.
>>333061207
RTS games notoriously only have one actual difficulty. Higher ones just increase the ais resource/build speed. Meaning you can exploit them by simply face rushing early as they'll power build all buildings and such first.
>>333062990
I honestly had to cheese to win and am not ashamed of it cause I seriously spent what must've been 4 hours trying to fight any other way possible.
>>333070597
i meant to divide my answer in two, I think you need to head into the forest area and go through the misty forest. After the scorpion boss (or whatever the fuck) I think it leads to the poison valley.

>>333060493
A good number of the NPC hunters in Bloodborne, especially the Bloody Crow.
I classify them as bosses because they usually have such an impossible amount of health they may as well qualify.
>everyone complaining about how unfair the enemies in DaS2 are
>but i've been able to play through the game 6 times now with no real issues
What seems to be the problem here? The only time i've ever noticed ridiculous tracking and poor hitboxes is on those huge Knights in the dragon area and the Ogres' grab respectively, and that's it.
Am I just better than all of you or am I somehow blind to everything despite playing the game so much?
>>333070393
Not him but the elemental damage thing is present in every game with that system ever. The trick is you generally just have to punch them to death.
Lots of games have bosses or enemies that are immune to damage unless a perquisite is met. Which is generally a cheesy way to get you to use a mechanic you'd normally avoid.
>>333071634
theyre just shit, only bad enemies are the two you mentioned and the giant rat boss in doors of pharros.
abosolute bullshit that thing,
>>333071634
I can cheese out the AI of a fighting game, but that doesn't mean I can't complain about input reading.
I'm have no difficulties beating DaS2, but I can still recognize that there is a lot of stupid bullshit in that game. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're good at the game.
>>333071898
>roll under rat boss
>kill him as he keeps attacking in front of himself
The only bad thing about that fight are the 4 small ones.
I don't think it counts as cheating but every boss and n DaS2 has an innate, and pretty big, damage reduction against bows and crossbows. I made an archery focused dex build for one of my play throughs and it was great, literally shitting damage on enemies and rarely being in danger myself. That blackbow with infused arrows, oh boy. I could be doing up towards 700 damage per shot but when I got to a boss I'd be lucky to break 150/shot. And most fights were set up where being at a distance made the fight more difficult so I was forced to use my rapiers or spear for every single boss.
I get why they did it but it was I just complete overkill. Hopefully DaS3 handles bows better but from what I've seen it looks like ranged weapons are getting plenty of love.
>>333072065

And the point with my post was to show you that everyone is good at different things. You're bad at him but I'm good while you're good at other bosses that I'm bad at.
>>333072449
stop youre ruining my narrative
>>333071671
Is that not the point of elemental damage though? If enemies don't have different resists to them, the only significant change is your attacks being red or blue. Plenty of times, you got ghosts, slimes or other sorts who greatly resist or are outright immune to punching.
>>333061315

Though, on the opposite end of the spectrum, I actually appreciate boss battles where bosses play by the exact same rules as standard characters. Not because they're easier, but because it's fun to look at from a technical standpoint.
>Probably on my 14th try on Artorias now
What the fuck this guy is hard, I've beaten every Souls game except Bloodborne and this is probably the most I've ever had to retry a boss. Fume Knight was dead on the 4th
Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. The boss fight is fun as fuck but I hate having to run 2 minutes everytime I want to retry
>>333064218
Dont believe you. There's 2 more blips behind your crash area. Only 2 bikers go by once you were hit off, it should be at least 3 if the dude insta spawned. Also, can't see blips on the map after you fell off to indeed confirm this

I think the silver knight spear is the longest spear overall.
>>333079186
Yeah, they acknowledged it wasn't good. There's an unused model for an actual boss version for that fight.
>>333079096
It's been so long I don't remember what the weapon was called. I just remember using a spear that had an overhead attack that let me do decent damage while not getting too close.
>>333065397
Dodge left under sword
Dodge right under sword
Punish or dodge big sword slam and then punish.
Most of his shit was easy as fuck to dodge if you stayed up close.
The only thing he had going on for was the small attack delay so you had to dodge a bit differently each time. It wasn't hard to adjust though.
>>333078265
How is the run 2 minutes?
Do you know you could unlock the elevator shortcut next to Chester so you don't have to run through the long forest route littered with enemies.
It takes like 30secs (1min tops) to reach artorias and you there are only 2 enemies on the way which aggro
>>333080010
1 minute then, whatever. Feels like 2
At what level should I challenge Artorias anyways?
>>333080171
I'd say 55+ but that's coming from someone who's played the game several times.
>>333061174
Just beat her last night on NG4. Flynn's ring helps when you're fighting her summons and she's casting magic offscreen. Honestly I don't find her that bad because her summo a are easily dealt with using strike weapons. The trio in cave of the dead is bullshit, though I haven't taken them in yet.

Well its doable at starting level.
But all in all it really comes down to your build.
If you don't want to sweat it too much maybe around 65+ would be pretty ok, i guess.
Fallout: New Vegas - Dead money, sneaking past Elijah
If you try to hide behind the pillar and go the way he came from, he somehow automatically detects it and the energy barrier comes on.
Last time I played the DLC I tried it like 30 times with 100 sneak skill + stealth boy.
Got frustrated and §tcl'd my way out of there.
>>333080474
The run is fucking bs as well.
Nothing makes me more infuriated than getting stuck by the mobs and getting petrified.
>>333075650
Is that the reason people don't like it? Just because its hard?
>>333062057
>>333064218
ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY!?
>>333080916
It's not hard in a sense you'd think.
You don't learn from your mistakes because all the boss does is sweep around and you either get lucky or get 1 hit death by falling off to your death.
The only way to consistently win is to bring some firebombs with you throw them at the cores you have to destroy.
>>333080554
I assume you talking about the rhythm boss, I wouldn't really call that cheating

Or arrows.

All the bosses in Diddy Kong Racing had the craziest fucking rubberbanding ever to exist in a racing game.
If you think recent Mario Kart games are bad, go play DKR.
>>333060493
Literally every computer faction cheats. I got attacked by three armies of Spanish rebels that I had never seen before. They literally had one territory on Spain and they sailed three full armies to Dalmatia just to attack me. The Huns are straight bullshit though.
>>333081209
It's easier when you know what to do. Break the right branch first, quit out.
Break the left one, quit out. Bait the swipe and drop down to the branch
>>333081368
I've done it with arrows before but the firebombs work better since it only takes 1 bomb and you don't have to aim too perfectly
>>333081283
>its easy anon, you just have to fall down out of the combat area onto this branch under the area and walk up the branch to hit the real boss
Be honest, did you know to do this without someone telling you? Its a flatout shit fight because without the knowledge of how its beaten its seen as impossible, and once you know how to fight it its not even a fight.
>>333081676
Every TW game is like that. The AI doesn't have to deal with public order or taxes, their units gets straight up stat boosts on higher difficulties, and in some titles they can 'upgrade' their soldiers to the next tier when you aren't looking. Entire stacks of ashigaru literally transforming into samurai and warrior monks in Shogun 2.

Fuck the souls and humanity, I got what I needed

The last time I ran through Ivory King, I somehow managed to stunlock him before he could even run away. I don't think I could ever repeat that.
>>333081254
The camera goes insane, and there is no cue whatsoever for the last two notes. It's pure bullshit.
>>333081912
Yes I did, because you see the fucking ground fall down and a giant dick below that leads up to the fucking bed of chaos
>>333081881
It's shit design if you "need" to use trickery like that in a game that is all about fair difficulty.
They even admitted adding the boss the way it is was a mistake. In the files there are remnants of a different moveset for the boss, which makes me think it was supposed to be a more traditional encounter.
They run of time and came up with the atrocity we see in the game today.
>>333082412
Yeah, I agree it's a shit boss. Might as well beat it abusing game mechanics
>>333082297
You trust your eyes too much grasshopper
not a boss but it needs mention on how bullshit big army computer can get without going out of city ever
>>333082628
Whenever i replay the game i use the speedrunner method.

>>333060493
Nitrous Oxide (the Final Boss) in Crash Team Racing cheats MASSIVELY by zooming off on the count of "2" when the race counts down to start.
>>333083161
That's because he's an asshole, it was an intended design choice
What really pissed me off though was how he'd get random speed boosts and maneuvered the level perfectly
>>333079453
The Demon Spear is the longest, IIRC it's the only melee weapon that can kill Vendrick in his little barred off cave in New Londo.
>No... How?... Impossible...
>>333061174
I've managed to beat Elana easy on like my second or third try.
The ganksquad was damn near fucking impossible because whatever retard made DaS2 forgot to fix poise as a mechanic, and my very slow Greatsword didn't do jack fucking shit to even the DEX faggot flinch.
It was the most horrible fucking fight in all of Souls for me.
>>333060493
DEMON'S SOULS LITERALLY HAD THE SAME THING
>B-BUT IT'S OK WHEN MUHZAKY DOES IT
>>333083320
It was intentional cheating, yes. He was a cheeky fuck.
So fucking satisfying when you beat him though.
>>333083340
I think the silver knight spear is the longest spear but the demon spear has an attack with the longest reach, if that makes sense.
>>333060493
>>333083526
no it didnt?
>>333083340
You mean Rickart?
Vendrick is top king in Dark Souls 2
>>333083935
>DUDE IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND A STROKE OF GENIUS WHAT A GREAT FIGHT BASED MUHZAKI!!!!!11
>>333061315
>mfw soloing that shit
>>333084047
You can lure one at a time and they don't break the game's rules.
>>333083634
Okay, that makes more sense, I think you're correct.
>>333083949
Fuck, that's his name. I never really interacted with Rickert much so I never could remember his name easily. I use to mix him up with Griggs as well.
>>333084047
that's not a bossfight silly
and it gave you the whole goddamn world to run around and kite them
>>333067730
>it's not cheating if they've been cheating for a while
Since everyone's talking about Dark Souls and specifically 2, what's the soonest I can get a greatsword that isn't gimpy, like the claymore or zweihander? I never bothered to finish it and dropped it a year ago but I feel obligated to try again before DS3.
>>333064010
But lobos is souls savant at this point.
>>333062057
this right here.
>>333084848
If you mean Ultra Greatswords, you can get one from the Old Kinghts in Heide if you're extremely lucky (though it sucks). You can get THE Greatsword in No Man's Wharf, which is arguably the best UGS in the game
If you mean greatswords, then I think you get the Drangleic GS after the Pursuer
>>333084848
As soon as you get to no man's wharf
You can rush dragonrider, get to the place with the long-armed green dudes and get the greatsword from the chest
That shit has the perfect moveset and can carry you through the entire game, including DLC without breaking a sweat
>>333084470
It's not cheating if the game has established the NPCs don't play by the rules player does
>>333084848
No Man's Wharf, as others have said, somewhere in the upper level.
But don't fucking bother with DaS2 unless you're really far and have immediate access to all DLCs, it's not worth fucking about with it otherwise.
Warcraft 3 AI technically
>>333085042
>long-armed green dudes
The what?
>>333085516
I'm guessing he means the weird ass long armed things that are scared of light and inflict bleed

These niggas
>>333076431
Thats basically any boss though
>>333085680
Yeah, if you just use a torch instead of a shield for most of the area and light stuff up as you go then they don't cause any problems
>>333085604
>>333085680
OHH I forgot those fagets.
Anyone know any good places to farm titanite? I've tried the enemies from the black pools but their drop rate is pretty garbage and I've already despawned one of them.
>>333069594
Why do you think they put an age limit of 3+ years on that game?That only young kids can play it
>>333064835
i barely ever used any repair powder in das2, seriously, how do you people fight?
>>333085680
those things aren't green tho
>>333080820
Have you ever killed the statue lizards with anything other than a bow?
>>333060493
This is the moment that I just deleted Dark Souls 2 off my HDD.Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, and Bloodborne only have very small instances of bullshit, but this game was consistently a complete fucking mess. Fucking B Team should stick to being code monkeys and concept artists
>>333082297
that's not cheating though, it's just hard as fuck.
trust your ears
>>333085949
Does hitting dead bodies still remove 5 or 6 points of durability in a single swing?
>DURRR WHY ARE YOU HITTING BODIES
Fucking hated the ds2 defense force back then. Maybe cuz there's more than one nigga I have to kill and they bunch up like crazy, what the hell.
>>333086073
Man the fuck do I know, I'm an engineer, not an art major
>>333086240
The durability bug was fixed, yes.

Thanks, you weeaboo faggot
>>333086915
She turned back mid-attack if you went behind her too, if I remember correctly. I want to hate fuck her into submission
>>333084047
I dont remember this
>>333061315
I think it was easier to solo them and with the two NPC summons. The bosses had less health and you could just burst them down faster.
>>333087984
Shit, I meant it was easier to solo them than with the two NPC summons.
>>333084047
The only bullshit thing was the Raping Spear that break your shit. That dude was slow, so I was able to kill all of them at once with my gear intact.
>>333060493
Not a boss, but this faggot does legitimately cheat
>>333084047
>He doesn't keep a bow for LITERALLY nothing but the purpose of drawing aggro

Poison areas in DS2 weren't half as bad as DS1's Blighttown
>>333088523
Funnily enough, he does nothing other DaS/DeS or BB NPCs haven't done before, only he combines all their cheating ways.
>Infinite spells
>Infinite ammo
>Longer i-frames than player has
>Inflated HP pool
Pretty much everyone else has some of these, but this is the only guy to have all that I remember.
This is Elisabeth. She will fuck your shit so far up your ass you'll be breathing crap.
She has 20,000 HP - 10,001 HP more than the main character can EVER reach. She has multiple Personas to deal with any of yours. She can also heal at half health, though she only does this once.
Now for the fun stuff.
Her fight is MADE of unwritten rules that you could not possibly know without a walkthrough. You have to face her Solo. You cannot use a persona that has resistance to her elements, because she has access to Megadiloan - an attack that does 9,999 damage. Oh, and she can cast it twice in a row. There is literally only one way of beating her - lowering her to 9,999 health (TWICE, since she heals the first time) and then using a item that deals 9,999 damage. That is the only way, otherwise she will spam Megadiloan.
This fight threw strategy and skill out of the window, instead requiring you to dance on her strings and obey every rule in fear of a Megadiloan spam.
git gud
Also, ALL NPC hunters in Bloodborne. Special mention to the Shutgun Spammer near Amelia, the Gank squad near the One Reborn and the boss at the end of Eileen's quest.
They take the entire concept of a fair fight and destroy it. Infinite ammo. Shedloads of defence. Many, MANY more times HP than you. The ability to heal. Humongous attack.
And remember, one of the gank squad has a CANNON he can spam. a one-shot kill weapon that has a high penalty in bullets - but NPC hunters need no bullets.
Eileen's quest ender is just a imput-reading beeyotch.
And the shogtun/blunderbuss dude outside the Grand Cathedral is such a chore to fight i ignore him. every shot hits you, you can barely fight back and it becomes a battle of attrition as you get shot hundreds of time a second.
