Most Disappointing Moment in a Videogame

Closure to a video game is vital, doesn't necessarily have to be a boss. In my opinion, most end bosses take away from the experience. I don't know how many times a boss leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you finish the game.

Half Life is a good example. Amazing game, but the boss battle was retarded. It sucked. Totally ruined what could of been a great ending. Why? Because people thought the game needed a boss battle.

Some games can do boss battles correctly. It makes sense in a beat em up, or an adventure game like Zelda, or even Resident Evil. But for FPS, they're never as good as the missions, or core gameplay.

That's alot of games right there.

I think the worst aspect of a boss fight is the difficulty. Killzone 2 is a great example of that. The difficulty curve was pretty good throughout the game. It was hard, but not frustrating. You felt like you made progress and the difficulty was never a problem. It was neither easy or hard.

But the end boss is ridiculous. You have wave of enemies attacking you. Fine. That's great. I figure out how to shoot the main boss without getting hit by others. But guess what? I didn't hit the scripted event so I'm there shooting at him for 20 minutes without doing anything.

So I finally kill the other guys, which is hard considering there is 5-6 of them. After that, 4 guys with rocket launchers show up from the other room spamming rockets at me. Instant death. That's retarded. **** it I said, I'm done. Never finished the game.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. For what reason? To have a boss?

Getting X-Men for the NES when I was ten and the wave of displeasure after I pressed power. Also, same deal with the first NES Ninja Turtles game. I don't know why people are so nostalgic about that crap or why Nintendo even bothered to port it to the Virtual Console. Hell, that game is so badly designed and tested that all non-Nintendo ports of it can't even be completed without extensive cheating due to impossible level layout.

The first is pretty shit.

The arcade one, awesome.

Played GTA Sanandreas on my 360 and was dissapointed because some of the cheats wouldn't work. All because the 360 controller doesn't have two buttons that are black and white.

the "boss" fight at the end of Halo 3. guilty spark sucks but i forgive it because the warthog escape is such an epic and fun level especially on co-op.

Shouldn't they be some other button?

Raiden in MGS2 Sons of Liberty.

No I don't hate Raiden. I actually liked him after a 2nd playthrough and I liked him before he went Ninja and godly in MGS4.

Its just that MGS was my fav. game at the time and I was really looking forward to playing as Snake again...granted we did use him in the tanker chapter, but Im talking whole game and all of that. Plus we didn't really know anything about Raiden and it was quite shocking.

I'd say putting the New Bionic Commando into my xbox 360 is one of the most disappointing moments in my video game history. That game is ASS

But here's my list.

1. The last part of Gears 2. I felt that the brumak riding could have been much more fun and the "final boss" was the most lame crap ever.

2. Halo 2's ending, not satisfying in anyway.

Well, that's what comes to mind atm.

also the ending to the new prince of persia(08). all that work for nothing.

Epic Fail. That was the best ending of anything ever, totally out of the blue, totally in character and thought-provoking.

My one would have to be after the ending of Baldurs Gate: TOB. I spent ages getting Viconia to fall in love with me and she gets killed by an assassin off screen 🙁 Felt like crying.

FF7 Sephiroth boss battles

I don't even consider those forms bosses

You don't like that game? Multiplayer is fun as hell.

I don't own it though, I played it at a friends house.

The Entire Resident Evil 5 Story.

Particularly near the end.

The fight with Fontaine was kind of lame considering I could beat his first two forms with the Wrench and then just strafe and machine-gun him(On Hard).

The Wrench when fully upgraded is quite possibly the most powerful weapon in the game, so I don't see your point.

He is unable to hit me when I am two feet away from him.

And the Chemical Thrower is far and away the most powerful weapon in the game.

Not when you have freezing cloud (I think that's the name of the tonic) on your wrench.

That makes the entire game a ****ing cake walk. Even Big Daddies get their ass kicked by the Wrench.
