Is there such a thing as an FPS with good boss fights?
RTCW
Super Mario 64 (it has FPS elements)
Yes
Serious Sam: The First Encounter. Second Encounter's are too random.
>>345328346
Doom 4 was honestly pretty terrible.
>>345328346
Fuck off, guy
Serious Sam and Hard Reset had some OK boss fights
I think the genre just doesn't lend itself to boss fights that well
>>345328101
Serious Sam boss fights are fun.
Killzone 2
>>345328346
the cyber demon fight was awful and this is coming from someone who didn't play too much doom back in the day
>>345328685
radec was a dick
>>345328221
Metroid prime series
>>345330041
he's probably thinking of the cannons, and the fact that you can shoot star bits in first person.
the boss fights are still the classic "hit the weak point 3 times" fights that nintendo are known for.
>>345328221
Sonic 3D Blast
(It has FPS elements)
>>345331049
Devil May Cry (it has FPS elements)
>>345328101
Far Cry 1
Dark Messiah
>>345328346
lol
>>345331137
Metal Gear Solid
(It has FPS elements)
Doom
Unreal Tournament
Don't try to look so hard for shooters with good boss fights. Shooters are mainly about level design and shooting multiple trash mobs plus gore.
Is there such a thing as a non jap RPG with good boss fights?
>>345328412
There is no Doom 4
>>345331431
where do you think the gregor meme came from?
>>345328346
>Hold X to pay respects
fugg ogg
>>345328101
Painkiller except for the final boss fight.
Arguably Serious Sam, but it's hit and miss in my opinion.
>>345328346
no, it's shit
go away community manager
>>345331835
Wizardry 8 is so fucking hard
Yes.
>>345334197
Fuck off, cunt.
Also, Tron 2.0
>>345328346
but doom 4 wasn't that great
shill
>>345336917
Eh?
It was pretty great. Way better than >>345334197 's shitty game
>>345331835
>Starts off super good.
>Goes full retard by mixing feudal + super-tech.
And dropped.
i liked timesplitters
>>345337339
Remnant from the 80s, back when they merged everything awesome together. Like dragons and sharks and robots and lasers into dragonrobo-sharklasers.
>>345328101
Painkiller really did a good job of getting the scale right with their bosses.
>>345331415
Doom's bosses weren't that good
>>345328101
The Metroid Prime series.
>>345328346
Remember when these were
>setup
>punchline
Instead of
>memes
>unfunny spam of images from game
>>345328357
I love the series but come on, all the bosses except Ugh-Zan are either a group of regular enemies or just scaled up enemies.
>>345331415
>Unreal Tournament
what? you mean original unreal? UT was multiplayer only
>>345332189
Satan was a bit disappointing but the level itself was pretty great.
>>345337168
that is not an achievement
even pong is better than fucking destiny
>>345337902
The only one that ever did multiple images right in the last box was the one for EYE, with all kinds of crazy deus ex shit and knights and cthulhu motherfuckers flying around because it's actually like that in the game
>>345328101
Megaman 8 bit Deathmatch has good, difficult bossfights that are faithful to the original games
>>345328101
Doom 4, surprisingly.
Also pic related.

>>345340971
Is this what walking the dinosaur actually looks like?
>>345328346
it actually has decent boss designs
best of recent times maybe, but thats not saying much, cause most boss encounters in shooter games suck terribly
>>345341153
D'Sparil is a serpent rider, so I guess that's supposed to be a snake. Somehow
Bioshock
>>345337785 >>345337713
and only few of them had any interesting mechanics, most were just big target dummies
>>345341847
Still pretty good for sheer number alone.
>>345338109
For Satan, for some reason, i thougt i needed to kill 666 enemies to then enter a super demon mode. Turns ou you just need regular demon mode a couple of times.
>>345341834
Fuck you
>>345328101
Yeah. Any of the serious Sams, Doom 4, cant think of anymore right now but thats 4. I guess deus ex.
>>345340971
>Post video to a song, instead of a boss fight
>>345341816
It's a Chaos Serpent, ain't got to explain shit.
>>345342510
It's a game, you should play it firsthand. The music is just too good not to post.
>>345328101
>Is there such a thing as an FPS with good boss fights?
Depends entirely on what you're looking for, but for me personally...
Chronicles of Riddick
Half-Life 1/2
Metroid Prime
No One Lives Forever 1/2
System Shock 2
...all had outstanding boss fights.
>>345341816
His brothers doesn't even ride anything
>>345328101
Jet Force Gemini has some good boss fights.
Some a bit too good. Only bad one really is the final boss.
>>345334197
This.
Only PCfags and people who haven't played would shit on Destiny's boss fights.
The raids and PoE have amazing bosses especially.
When will the 'Destiny is a bad game' meme die off?
>>345340971
>Heretic 3 / Hexen 3 never
fuck
>>345340971
That fact that you have to finish them off with glory kills instead of just shooting them until they die brings them all down to 0/10
>>345342832
>fps boss fights designed for consoles
>good
no
>>345342298
Deus Ex boss fights are just "throw a LAM at the fucker"
>>345342747
>System shock 2
nah
>>345342658
>It's a game, you should play it firsthand
Litterally against the /v/ motto
>>345342658
I did play it. It was pretty alright, I didn't like the damage spread on the guns, but the levels were nice.
Doesn't change the fact you linked to a song, instead of a boss fight, in a boss fight thread.
>>345328178
I disagree, most of the bossfights were just bullet-sponges. This may just be my opinion, but I'm not a big fan of "shoot it til it dies" style bossfights for FPS games.
>>345342940
Wrong dude sex.
>>345342813
Oh wait, that's a Third Person Shooter. Nevermind.
This Boss was still great though.
>>345342796
Korax was originally very similar to D'Sparil in appearance in the whole 'serpent riding' thing, but at the last minute the changed the Serpent into the Rider and the Rider into a sub-boss.
So basically Korax was originally what became the Heresiarch, and what we got as Korax was the mount.
>>345342796
Oh, yes they do.
They don't mean "riders" as in "ride them into battle"
They're snakefuckers.
>>345342930
>It's an aspie who doesn't know how to play fps with a controller reply
>>345342747
System Shock 2 didn't have good bosses.
Metroid Prime wasn't a real FPS, although it did have amazing Bosses.
>>345340971
>No good modern/remixes of winnowing hall
>>345342930
This makes no sence
>>345343214
all the aspies I can think of are consolefags
>>345343124
And Korax's appearance in Heretic confirms this.
>>345342832
Just because it has a few good boss fights doesn't excuse it for being a shitty repetitive try at a console mmo.
>>345343153
>Snakefuckers
Gross.
>>345342959
Don't try to apply memes to real life.
>>345343238
Shodan was a pretty fucking amazing boss fight.
>>345343240
This entire soundtrack remaster is amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fispefQPGw
I can think of some third person shooters with decent bosses (like Vanquish) but nothing comes to mind for first person.
>>345331415
Doom's bosses were pretty shit desu
>>345328101
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
>>345328346
>got le rip and tear
So it's a meme game?
>>345343589
"Bosses" is weird to say
The only real boss in Doom is Icon of Sin
Which I think was a cool idea, but could've been implemented better.
>>345340504
Gamma is fucking awful though from what I remember.
Enker, Punk and Ballade are great. Shame you only have one chance.
>>345343669HEY
>>345343686
It's repetitive without being fun. It's just ridiculous how little content there was for that game. It took them years after release to make it a decent game with multiple DLC releases. All of which were payed,
>>345343510
and that's what I don't understand. there's no reason bosses like the ones in binary domain couldn't work in FPS. devs are just lazy or scared of boss battles
>>345338085
He obviously means UT's campaign modes, with boss fights being the top tier matches and final fight with Xan Kreigor.
>>345343505
Eh its okay but it still got those empty sounding effects.
>>345343764
Yeah, he was a bit too faithful with the whole Hard Knuckle -> Top spin thing and the robot master rematch before it was a bit too long. But everything after that is great, the fight against the Evil Robot goes balls to the wall with flying and shmup-tier attacks
>>345344104
Forgot the vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sqezwoTUsk
>>345343930
Yeah. The game really did make me shill out.
But I really have been having a ton of fun with destiny. I've put a lot of time into the game and read up on a ton of the lore.
I'm ready to shill out again for the September update too.
Everyone's views on Destiny are mixed and I can really understand that.
>>345343505
I always loved the piano usage in Hexen's ost.
>>345343669
Turok 2 also had some good boss fights.
>>345344327
Shame the Primagen was such a shit boss.
Played ziggurat a while ago, it was really fun and i enjoyed the boss fights since you have to make sure to be constantly moving or your shit for fucked
>>345343958
First person shooters don't tend to have a dodge function, so there's that I guess.
>>345344224
shit that is pretty awesome
>>345328346
>Yes
No the boss battles are the worst part.
>>345343724
The game calls you "The Doom Slayer" and had Hell be so afraid of you they made a deal with UAC to have them give you to Hell and put into stasis. The whole thing of just being a lone survivor marine taking on Hell has been replaced with "UR SO BADASS, SATAN SHITS HIS PANTS" edgy crap. They ever make him out to just being some dumb guy who wants to shoot stuff at the beginning with a guy on a monitor saying he can help you get out and Doomguy just punches the screen and throws it away. DURR HURR HURR THOSE FPS AND THEIR STUPID STORIES I JUST WANNA SHOOT SHIT. Meanwhile the game itself has more of a story than the original games ever had so it makes the whole thing moot.
Deus Ex: HR. NOLF. Riddick. Quake 4.
They're rare but they exist.
everyone saying doom 4
doom 4 bosses were extremely easy
cyberdemon was babby mode that involved strafing left or right until you couldnt, going the other way, jumping over anything while spamming lock on rockets or plasma
hell guard was a bit different but extremely easy to predict and counter
spider mastermind was okay but once again, was very very easy to ditch
designing the game with the idea of enemies dropping health and ammo was a really bad idea, made boss fights so easy instead of tense.
boss fights in doom 4 were spam all BFG then all your rockets then all your plasma while constantly moving.
>>345346682
>Deus Ex: HR
>Good boss fights
Dude what. The boss fights are what people shit on the most in that game. Even the Directors Cut didn't do much to fix them.
>>345347316
The people shit on the boss fights because they are fucking bad at the game. Read the complaints, it is people bitching that their easy sneaking game where all they had to do was walk behind people and hit Q to instant win now required actual FPS strategy.
All of them ignored the fact that it was IMPOSSIBLE to make Jensen bad at combat. There are only two minor combat buffs in the skill tree.
People were mad because the game finally demanded they learn some skill never asked for elsewhere and they threw a tantrum because of it.
>>345348294
>Hurr the boss fights are good you just suck
All of them except for the invisible bitch and the computer core boil down to "Hide around a corner and dump all of your pistol ammo in their face". They're all just generic cover based shooter bosses, aka fucking lousy fights.
>>345328101
Dark Souls (it has FPS elements)
The first enemy where you couldn't just spam the cannon.
>>345349169
>throwing barrels at the minigun nigga
>shooting laser beams through the window at jumping naked man
Look, very few FPSs have a game design space that lets you have autistic FORTY WAYS TO FIGHT like The End or whatever.
They're still solid fights. Better than anything from Srs Sam or Panikiller.
>>345349421
>Lining him up with the laser
>Good
Besides, you could just run back to the plaza where the backpack respawns and hold down the fire button with the minigun during phase 2
>>345349710
>FORTY WAYS TO FIGHT like The End or whatever.
Forty? I only remember sniping and running to his back with a shotgun
>>345349710
Having more options in how to kill them doesn't make them good fights either. I don't get how you're missing the point this hard. All they do is either stand there and shoot at you, chase you around a single room, or sometimes toss grenades. The final boss is literally just an immobile bunch of turrets with three weakpoints you need to pop open and kill or knockout. Those aren't interesting fights.
>>345349981
Because you don't have a point.
I thought this one was pretty neat.
>>345350332
Because you're a retard hellbent on defending four incredibly generic bosses for some reason. I like Doos Ecks dude, but those bosses are by far the worst part of the game.
>>345350469
If you think generic is a bad thing in gaming, then you really ought not to be playing a scifi game where a dude sneaks and shoots robomans.
Because, you know, generic = bad, right?
>>345350904
This thread is about good boss fights in FPS.
Those are not good boss fights. In this case the generic FPS boss archetypes ARE bad.
>>345350405
I hated it.
>>345350405
Ew no. 15 minutes ducking into tunnels and waiting for it to open its eye.
>>345328346
Doom got pretty close, but they were too fucking easy.
>>345337713
>>345337785
Bossfights in Painkiller were awesome until they actually got started
Every single one seemed to be more dependent on luck than skill
>>345342172
Entire game is bossfights. Too bad it gets old after, like, an hour.
>>345350405
was more frustrating than fun because >>345351838
I kinda liked the ones in Tower of Guns.
>>345328685
that´s the antithesis of good bossfights.
>>345354463
Dialectics are important tho.
