>>334782873
I'm almost sad to see them go.
almost
nothing ever becomes more memorable when the boss causes you such mental anguish from almost beating him and fucking it all up.

>Want to redo a boss fight
>Game has no boss rush mode/boss select option
>Boss is hidden behind a 10 minute minigame that's not used anywhere else in the game

>>334782784
neat. I've been in those kind of situations too. Fucking myself over from the beginning, making shit harder on myself, but powering through it for what takes hours, maybe even days of attempts until you finally beat it.
Those are truly the best game experiences.

I did that in Seiken Densetsu 3 by choosing the mage character Angela as my main.
Apparently magic is the shittiest thing you can choose in that game thanks to stunlock. Thank god I had Kevin.
