Are there any bosses that kicked your ass so hard that you quit the game altogether?
what a hard game, and cool
When I was a wee bab, I couldn't beat Twin Golems in Chrono Trigger.
>>334866316
The X parasite Seamus in metro is fusion.
i stopped here too, OP
i should also mention i had yet to get a SINGLE fucking card drop
>>334868324
>Werejaguar drop rate is less than 1/100
I believe it.
Mfw I have 100%'d every single mode of this game on emulator. You're gonna have to take my word for not using cheats or quicksaving. This feels like one of the more autistic things I have done because I didn't even really like the game that much.
Double Bogey fight on GodHard difficulty.
Whoever played Vanquish even on Normal knows what I'm talking about.
>>334869357
Jesus, well done for getting that far
>>334866316
It made me fucking angry, but that only made me want to fuck it up even more.
I honestly actually had more trouble with the final boss though.
I used to rent Wario World all the time from Blockbuster. After I got stuck on this guy, I never rented the game again.
Dynamite headdy
You know the one
>>334868965
I did the same thing on an actual cartridge, except I loved the game. Fighter mode is the best mode in any Metroidvania.
>>334866316
I haven't quit yet, but I'm down to trying a couple times a week now.
>>334868965
i 100% Aria of Sorrow on emulator. difference is I fucking love that game.
>>334871429
The jumping robot with the hyper fast claw spam attack right? Fuck that one, even when you discover how to evade it it's still hard as fuck because they gave it frustratingly high health.
I wish they'd bring back Nathan. He was cool
![hqdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/hwFzJBN.jpg "hqdefault[1].jpg")
Quit for a few months until the remake was announced for NA, figured I should beat the original before it came out.
>>334867583
I gave up against Lavos, not realizing I was supposed to do a ton more stuff before I fought him. I played it again years later and tried Lavos after some side quests and it was so easy
>>334871806
You played Dawn of Sorrow? It's even better. Probably the best Metroidvania.
Seymour Flux in Final Fantasy X nearly made me quit for good. I put the game down for nine years and ended up starting a new game before finally beating him.
Ironically, Yunalesca only took me two tries on that second file.
>>334868965
>>334866316
Circle of the moon was my shit back then and still is my favorite castlevania
Magician mode a best
>>334866316
That boss
>>334871643
How are you having trouble with Menace of all things? I could maybe see Death or Abaddon being hard for someone, but fucking Menace?
>>334871643
you on ps3 or 360?
i can give you a havd if its the ps3 version
>>334869357
Have you tried keeping the EMP granades? Or even used the Sat Beam gun with the Tracking?
Its been a long time since I platinum the game on PS3 via the user StormXtreme but it is truly one of the toughest missions in the game.
>>334869357
I was just about to jizz my pants and ask what game this is only to realise it's a vanquish mock up :(
>>334872112
Not him, but I prefer Aria. I've done 100% souls in both games and Aria just feels like it plays better.but HD Soma controls better than both of them

MH4UMonoblosfor six months
only beause my great sword at the time couldn't reliably cut through it's plates
funny enough i check and i see theres a new great sword i could have made without grinding for new materials that allowed me to cut through without the blade bouncing off
>mfw i know theres going to be even harder monsters and the eventual more powerful recolor
I don't remember if it was a boss or level but I rage quit Rising Zan back in the day for being fucked up and frustrating
In more recent time my little brother rage quit Dark Souls 1 at the 4 kings
>>334872112
MUH ARTSTYLE aside, Dawn really is a fucking great game.
>>334867583
I just played that last week and they wrecked my shit. Ayla and Robo's Dual Tech that stops everyone is extremely helpful in that fight, and so is having the elemental plates and vests. Eventually beat them and now I'm wrapping up my second play through, trying to take down the Dream Devourer.
>>334872593
>Aria just feels like it plays better.
Only because jump cancelling is broken as fuck with almost every slashing weapon.
>>334868210
>Phoneposting.
>>334872683
If you were having trouble with Monoblos, you'll love the rest of the game.
I still need to re-download that game. I really hope my saves aren't broken from when I modded my 3DS. Some shit went awry and MH4U's files wouldn't copy back over anymore.
>>334866316
I couldn't beat the3rdboss in Legend of Mana and dropped it.
>>334866316
Wait, did people really beat him while standing in the middle?
Aren't you supposed to sit in a corner using a sword?
I don't know any other way of killing him
>>334872989
it's not really i rage quitted
I just said i was going to take a day or two break and then it somehow ended up being months and then i beat it on my first try again a few days ago and now im playing it every day again
>>334871643
>having difficulty on Menace
This is a joke right? He is the easiest final boss in castlevania history
>>334866316
I could never tell if I was meant to grind for cards or not
>>334874271
I never pull off the inputs to use them for whatever reason. Maybe the DS Lite dpad sucked.
>>334873346
Anon let me tell you a trick for early on dominance against monsters if you're playing solo.Use large barrel bombs
Mr Sandman is the hardest casual filter ever
>>334874543
>Implying
Soda Popinski(Vodka Drunkinski) wrecks casuals to no end.
Casuals won't even see Mr. Sandman
>>334866316
i remember that boss being easy but a couple of the other ones, including the last boss, were pretty fucking hard.
>le IGA games are for casuals
nigger, i've played almost all of them and the IGA games are way harder.
both have ways to make them easier
IGA - overlevel, dont take shortcuts (like that part with the lava in CotM, get the boots or whatever)
Classic - find out which sub weapon is flavor of the month and exploit the shit out of it.
>>334875261
CotM isn't an Iga game though.
I refuse to use phantoms like a cheater, but this guy was too much.
>>334866316
Not a boss but I'm too casual for this shit.
>>334876134
noted, a little autistic to just pick that part out of my post though
![Shinobi_(PS2)_Coverart[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/0hpYm7c.png "Shinobi_(PS2)_Coverart[1].png")
The last boss of this game. Couldn't manage it. The worst part was that if you lost all your lives, you'd have to do the incredibly long, fucking difficult final level all over again.
>>334877000
Well, considering you were saying that IGA games were harder while giving examples from a game that wasn't made by IGA I don't think I was being nitpicky.
>>334866316
get good faggot
Prison fight in Hotline Miami 2. I don't know if I was just having a bad day or what, just fuck that fight.
The first Necromancer bossfight in Nox got me so frustrated I put the game down for a full year. I have no idea why I ever had trouble with him.
That and the second(?) form of the final boss in Dual Hearts for the PS2 where you need to ride your pig thing and air charge the boss. Had no clue how you were supposed to kill him by dealing such piss poor damage with the garbage controls. Will probably never beat that since I sold the game and my PS2 is in a box somewhere.
>>334872812
Aria is insanely broken and easy but I also liked it over Dawn. Problem is Dawn didn't just tone down weapons like the Claimh Solais and Valmanway/Krissagrim, it made them dull. And from a dull assembly line of weapons. Weapons that made gathering souls even more of a farming grind. Julius mode felt like such an improvement over Soma in that game
The bosses were definitely waaaaay better in Dawn, though. Even with the horrible toilet flush mechanic crammed on.

>>334877329
It's still autistic because you just ignore all my good points and point out the one single wrong thing in my post. Like that guy in the youtube comments after watching a 10 minute video doesn't acknowledge any of the good points, just pushes up his glasses and points out the mistake. The point i made about cotm applies to the IGA games as well, so eat a dick.
>>334878206
>he doesn't know how to mash
oh lawd
>>334878206
pixel shit indie garbage ez boss
>>334876849
That part is a cakewalk compared to later parts of the game
>>334878206
Whats bad about that is dying and having to go all the way back.
This fucker right here and its twin because they have to be fought at the same time. I actually did this boss fight a long time ago in high school, but due to arbitrary bullshit that locked me out of Savyna's final equip Magnus I had to load up a very old save and work my way back. For the life of me I can't remember how I beat these guys in the first place, because they're just massive pains in the ass.
>>334868965
>>334868965
I 100% Dawn of Sorrow on hard and finished Lvl1 Hard mode Order of Ecclesia, but props to you senpai
>>334878269
>The point i made about cotm applies to the IGA games as well
Then use IGA games as examples.
>>334878839
>Lvl1 Hard mode Order of Ecclesia
>>334866316
>>334878486
When you get back you get to keep your subweapon for the fight.
The only thing preventing a win is you giving up.
>>334879204
It's not made for a fresh start, level up your elements or do Light+Sword cheese
>>334878086
>The bosses were definitely waaaaay better in Dawn, though
I'd say they were on par. DoS had some really good fights (like Death), but dropped the ball hard on others (Zephyr).
And AoS had this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgM-dGtbVW4
>>334866316
fucking hate those dragons
There's a fight in FFX, I think it's the second one with the blue hair dude (Seymour?) where you can save after the last grinding area but before the fight
That killed my playthrough, luckily idiot kid me learnt to keep multiple saves
>>334868965
there's modes?
Happens all the time with SMT games
I go through them enjoying them until you get to the first boss that you have to lose to a bunch to work out what beats them or massively overlevel
At that point I usually stop
>>334866316
The Pain on extreme in MGS3D, for some fucking reason the hit box is completely fucking broken where aiming at the head will register a chest hit (or sometimes hit the damned head), and you can only kill it non lethally with head shots.
This makes me extra mad since I beat MGS3 Subsistence a fuck load of times.
>>334879642
This only applied to me in DDS where I couldnt just fuse my demons again after 5 minutes
When I was younger this boss killed me so much I dropped the game for like two years. I came back eventually but christ this thing is annoying.
Demon's Crest has a superboss that's a complete hassle. The game wasn't too much of a problem otherwise but that shit just isn't fun at all.
>>334866316
If I remember correctly, you could cheese this boss. There is a corner in the upper left side of the arena where you are completely safe.
I used the regeneration card combo there to get to full life then went back in to deal a hit or two.
Not only did I do that, but before finding it out, I probably have grinded levels for 10 hours because it seemed impossible to me back then.
>kek
The mid level boss in battle glacier in Freedom Planet kicked my shit in so hard I haven't bothered to pick it up since.
But the main reason isn't the boss, but rather I hate everything leading up to the boss.
>irritating and really long schmup segment at the start of the level
>actual level itself is a massive leap in difficulty
>I'm playing Carol so it's already harder
>the boss is some giant ship and I could never figure out how to dodge its attacks
Was never able to beat them and ended up quitting after a day of frustration
>>334880405
You know there are springs in the area to avoid the attacks. Also climbing up the walls helps you as well. Pretty much jump over the lazer blasts and attack it's cockpit. Easy peasy even on hard mode as Carol.
Just gotta get gud.
>>334880593
I never got why people think these guys are hard.
As far as 'human sized' bosses in the series go I found them one of the easiest. Hell they generally just let you wail on them anyway.
![vagullion[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/xAx9I4u.jpg "vagullion[1].jpg")
Total fucking cunt in every game he's in
Even on normal difficulty
To be fair I was 9
>implying v knows this gam
>>334866316
KH2 Final mix Roxas fight.
Fuck
That
Shit
>>334879392
I liked Julius and Chaos, I don't think they can balance out Creaking Skull, Manticore, Great Armor, and Big Golem all being "slow lumbering beast that slowly takes a slow swing that will never hit because it's slow." Outside Mombi, the whole first half of the game only has that one type of boss.
I don't think a boss has ever made me quit a game, though overall difficulty has.
It depends on if I actually like the game enough to put dedication into it. I beat Hell in Cave Story in under 3 minutes on DSiWare, Steam, and 3DS release, the latter two don't allow you to take the rocket launcher or life pot with you in time attack. And then I got to Hell on 3HP hard mode with the Spur (Core with the polar star is a fucking nightmare) butgave up on the second room with the falling blocks. Even the two or three times i made it through, I would make a silly mistake and lose the opportunity right away.
>>334881096
the trick is to not run too far away from him
yeah, it's bullshit
>>334881498
>Creaking Skull, Manticore, Great Armor, and Big Golem
Aren't these just normal enemies from later areas? I think AoS was the metroidvania with lowest amount of "actual" bosses.
>>334871643
Is that a goat head dick or is that coming out of his arm?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49gLC9yiGOg
Like hell I'm going give Taro the satisfaction of making me rage.
I think I only managed to beat them once. Fucking gridlocked on them.
>>334881813
They are all just big, regular enemies and get used as such later. But they're still applied as bosses for most of the first half. The end result is still the game having a lack of good bosses compared to others. Its strengths were in the exploration, exploitation, and being full of JoJo refs before we ran it into the ground.
>>334881437
>Quitting on the best boss in KH2s story
One of the only bosses I actually died on a few times on Critical. His data battle version gave me so much trouble
I started the game a few days ago but this nigga is fucking my shit up.
>>334882029
This fight was the biggest dissapointment for me ever. I killed them on my first try after hearing how impossible this fight is.
Fucking got stuck on Capra and then Stray Demon for like an hour instead though
>>334882295
Stray demon was just bullshit.
>Fall Damage
>Magic Butt Slam
>loludied
I beat the first Savato, but later you fight a stronger version that I never got past.

Father Guacamole in Bloodborne
>>334880674
People who have problems with it don't understand the mechanics of dodging yet.
As in, jumping makes it easy.
>>334882180
I regret quitting here because I'm not good enough to pick the game back up from there, nor do I have the drive to start from the beginning
>>334882265
It's pretty much "Dodge Left: The Boss". Then he starts grabbing you.
>>334868965
That's cool, I also am pretty proud of unlocking this thing without even knowing it existed, my 11 year old self could not believe it when I saw a green arrow on top of the Hot Violet. To those who don't know, to unlock this thing you have to beat all cups in master difficulty with all other nine vehicles.
>>334880593
This was basically my casual filter. I was able to get through Cerberus without too much trouble, but these guys really had me going for a while. Eventually I realized that they would calm down if you stayed close to them. It was the first time that I realized that the game doesn't want you to run away, it actually rewards you for meeting challenges head on.
I had to take a break for a few days after the power ran out while I was on my 40th try on some sega top down shooter's final boss.
>>334879015
You must have the memory of a goldfish, because we just covered that i thought cotm was an IGA game.
And now you will be grasping at whatever argument you can find to have the last say, and will no doubt be wanting to say 'well your opinion is worthless then' but it's not, faggot, because i've finished a bunch of these games and i don't give a flying fuck who made them. Cotm is basically an IGA game, so again, blow me.
>>334866316
Orphan of Kos
Luckily I was in NG+ so I already beat the game.
>>334866316
This fucker almost made me smash my PSP into the ground. I stopped playing after that.
>>334882727
The X-1 mission in the post game kicked my ass so hard i didn't come back to it and the rest many years later
>>334874072
It took me a long ass time to beat this when I was a kid senpai, its not even funny
>>334868210
>>334879963
Am I the only one that had way more trouble with Nightmare than Yakuza or X Samus?
Level 9.0 Smash 4 Classic Mode without losing a life. It's not the final boss itself but how fucking lucky you've gotta be to get through the mode without getting hit by an explosive, getting hit by a stray Smash attack, or having the enemy read your inputs. It's absolute bullshit and I have no idea how Mashed Potato Samurai expected people to complete it.
>>334883348
you actually ragequit on gascoigne?
That boss was the point I realized I was underlevel'd. And much later when I got to the battle arena before dracula. I made the mistake going there and then I realized "oh fuck, there is still another side to do?" Such time wasted.
>>334869357
I stopped playing Vanquish when I got to some "spiderman" boss inside a small room. I am really not good at this kinda of games.
