Video Game Bosses That Make You Want To Throttle A Game Designer - Page 6

Oh yeah, speaking of instant kills. There was some ass hole mini-boss in Vagrant Story that opened with an instant kill magic attack that just ruined my day for the longest time until I looked through my grimoires and found one that offered one off magic protection, which worked great till he did it for his next move after I used it the first time. When I finally beat it I just kept that spell on me at all times for the entire game, along with some mana stealing chains. But I absolutely hated that boss.

In Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, that guy you fight just outside the lair of the dragon Melissan sends you to go kill. Seriously, fuck that guy. Took me weeks to finally get the fight down, only to take down the main dragon in one try. I just wish I remembered their names, but those of you who played it know who I'm talking about.

I'm... well, me - and everyone who who I can snog loves me.

And Sten.

But maybe Sten's into that sort of thing.

I have to respond to Seil's post with a webcomic reference.

The first Drawn to Life final boss. I don't think I've ever gotten past the jerk's second form. The dick can go die in a fire.

Also, Star Magician from Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Dullahan was a thousand times less annoying than that ball-flinging bitch.

Vastal the final boss from Ray Tracers (PSX). That fucking car is litarally 100mph faster then your car could only dream to be. The only way to hit it is to use your nitro... except it by surprise (sarcasm) has a nitro too. And boy does it love to use it right when you use yours. The trick to beating this near uncatchable bastard/bitch (depending on whose story your playing) is to wait in till you get within 3 car lengths of them and quickly hit your nitro (as they'll hit there's once you get within 3 car lengths of them too) and ram them in the back. This is a lot harder then it sounds as they'll tend to dodge it and jet away from you. You really cannot afford to mess up against or else it's back to the beginning of the game (granted there's only 6 to 7 tracks but still...). Why because you have 150 seconds to beat them. (or was it 125 seconds?) And you can run out of nitro.

Good god do I hate that boss, your best chance is the infinite nitro cheat and it's STILL hard to beat it in time.

Heck a good few of the bosses in this game are a pain in the ass. And some of the timed tracks too. Still love the hell out of this game though.
