What game?
>>345420940
No more heroes
>>345420769
mad max, tomb raider 2013, dying light, dead island, halo 5 (only it's a sword). all come to mind, it's always the same shit. he does a spin attack or hits the ground and then you just get some hits in when he's stunned from those. why are western devs so unoriginal?
>Souls game

Diablo games
Rayman games
Hyper Light Drifter
Dragon Age: Origins

Some one got the webm of Geralt auto attacking the last boss in a corner?
>>345420587
This is shit nowadays but I'll admit when I was little and got to the end of god of war that zeus fight was insane
>eastern game
>boss is a pretty white-haired teenage boy who keeps on moaning and shouting edgy shit in his teenage voice throughout the entire fight

Name one game where this happens.
>>345427417
Neptunia games.

Final boss fight has the same gameplay but everyone in your party is now giant robots.
>>345421070
I think this is the only correct answer
>Boss your size
>1v1
>Boss has the same or similar abilities as you
>Boss is your relative / Your character has a deep personal connection with the boss
>Main theme starts playing
>>345421590
Fuck off any day. Storm king was a great boss
>slow, lumbering brute with a big hammer
I want weebs to fucking leave
>>345425796
Diablo has always had satisfying, but ultimately shit combat.
With that said, Diablo 2 is one of my favorite games.
>>345421590
>And the obligatory gimmick boss
So, just Demon's and DS3?
>>345422798
Batman Arkham City.
>>345427886
Fuck off. Storm King is an absolute garbage boss.
>>345427717
What is Double Dragon Neon, minus the Giant part. You can hit mooks so hard they fly into space though.
>>345420940
Kingdom Hearts
>>345427979
How could you not like wielding the Stormruler? That boss fight was just as good as Dragon God.
>>345427907
>slow
Yeah, just try running away from his hammer charge.
>>345428171
He's slow when he isn't doing that
>Boss uses your control input to determine what you are doing next and to make it easier, you can put the controller into the second slot
>Boss can die if you wait him out for a week.
I love this shit in MGS.
>>345427908
All the games have gimmicky bosses, man.
>half of the bosses in DeS
>Bed of Chaos in DaS
>Vendrick, Royal Rat Vanguard and arguably some other ones in DaS2
>Deacons of the Deep, Yhorm in DaS3
I'm currently playing through Bloodborne, so I can't speak for that one, but it holds up for the main Souls series.
>gameplay doesn't work for bossfights
>tries to force bosses in anyway
>no real climax beyond the terrible boss
>>345422304
Arkham Asylum?
>>345422798
Metroid Prime series

Prince of Persia games.

Name?
>third person game with shooting mechanics
>bosses are QTEs, bullet sponges, or both
Why can't devs be creative with game mechanics anymore? It's 2016 and yet most AAA games just regressed into walking simulators.
>>345428883
Any game worth its salt.
More specifically DMC3.

Throw bombs into open mouth.
>>345429035

Dark Soul's has bed of chaos, DS2 has chariot, every Dark Soul's game had a gimmick boss.
