/v/ - Video Games

I unironically think the final Bowser fight in Mario Odyssey was actually damn good this time. Even killed me.

The Monster Hunter like tail spin took me off guard, same with the fire breath.

I wish it was a little more difficult, personally, the rank-optimal strategy is to use Unite Immorta to essentially skip two phases of the fight. The hardest part is the escape sequence in the middle. My favorite fight in W101 was Prince Vorkken or the Giga-Goojin.

if only the combat and controls weren't so utter shit in the monhu games

Bane vs Cia

>hes played a video game this gen

Fucking weirdos. Been focused on pussy. And beer bro.

My battle with my crippling depression is the best boss battle cause I just can't win.

I battle with /leftypol/ all around 8chan. I defeat the shills and of course the /intl/ buffallos. This i far more important than any video game, I'm destroying shills.

All those boss fights went of the rails. I was a bit luke warm on the game bit after hitting the first fight I couldn't put it down

Give it a standard, fluid gameplay where you don't have to commit to anything, and you have Toukiden, ie. just a musou with bigger enemies. Monhun is inseparable from its weighty combat, and if you're not willing to learn it and appreciate it, you might as well give up the idea of discussing it entirely. Why would a chess player discuss with someone who wants to make it tic-tac-toe?

Good lord, /v/ hasn't recovered from NeoGAF dying, has it?

I can only pray you people will go away, but I know you won't.

>weighty combat

That's one way to spin it, I guess, but there's no excuse for not having more fluid animations and intermediate states between actions that would greatly increase the player perception of fluidity.

That final boss in Ninja Gaiden two. the recent one not the nes/arcade one

Since you already mentioned Jergingha I'll give a mention to Shibusawa from Yakuza 0. That game's full of great bosses (Kuze being a fan favourite) and I genuinely really enjoyed all of them, but Shibusawa is the standout one for me.

>that intro

>that music (embed related)

>the way his three phases mirror Kiryu's three default fighting styles

>the setting

>the way the scene after alludes to the events of the first game

>reasonably difficult to boot I didn't have any healing items left by the time I got to him on my first playthrough so that probably didn't help

Both thematically and gameplay-wise it's one of the most satisfying and climactic final bosses I've played in a long time.

Didn't he lose to Billy Herrington, though?

Many from the SoulsBorne games. Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising.

>>13819986

Yuuka vs Hulkster was still better.

>this generation

>>13819918

although not the -best- fight persay i'm a huge fan with the third(?) Kuze encounter where Kiryu fucking knocks his sunglasses off with a fantastic punch and the boss music kicks in and you and nishiki clobber the fuck out of him

>>13820320

This

Why is he so hot

>>13819918

Came here to post this, its not as nuanced as Majimas which fits with the theme, its just 2 guys at the peak of their power beating the shit out of each other.

It's a legitimately great platformer boss fight, retard. And if you watched some playthroughs or played the game yourself, you would know that about everyone dies at least once to him.

>>13819529

It's your taste that's shit, not the game.

>>13819573

wew, going a little bit on an elitist rant aren't you? I can see you have your head up your ass and I ain't even lookin at you.
