Woo saa Terry, don' t forget your woo saa!







Ha, i have Gradius 3 on one of my PSP' s (i bought a 2nd PSP off a friend because it had version 2.0 firmware while my original Japanese imported model was/is 1.0 and i wanted to keep running emulators but be able to play new games too).

Gradius 3 is one of the best games ever!!!

Alright, my favorite bosses of all time are as follows.
1. Any boss from Shadow of the Colossus.
2. Bowser from Super Mario Bro' s
3. " The Boss" from MGS 3
4. The " Killing Doug Shetland" level in splinter cell chaos theory, (yeah i know it' s not a real boss " battle" per-se, but it is more dramatic than most.

My favorite boss character was Mother Brain, from Metroid. And by " favorite" I mean, " I hate that b*tch with that passion of a thousand ranting Nintendo fanboys!" She kicked my ass a hundred ways til Sunday, but I' ll never forget her.

Actually, the best part was AFTER you beat her, and had to escape from the lair under the time limit!! Talk about nerve-wracking!!

Next to music, bosses are my favourite bit in a game! My three faves are Lord Saddler[Resident Evil 4], Doopliss[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door] and Lord Nergal[Fire Emblem(7)](MAYBE in that order...). All of which, unfortunately, are rather short fights though.

Lord Saddler[Resident Evil 4]


what? that guy was so easy, i killed him with one rocket, and a few killer 7 rounds, to be honest the whole game [re4] was a easy, but none the less good!.

My fav. bosses?

- Liquid Snake from MGS1 [loved the way you fought him three times, really suited his character]

- Devil may Cry 3 had some of the hardest bosses this generation. but the second boss [the two guys with swords] was really old school [as in it took you 20 times to figure out how to KILL him!]

- Shadow of the closiss was brillant, oh paul shame on you, i live in europe and i got the game. tsk tsk.. anyway what was wrong with the last boss? i loved the tunnels/trenchs thing.

erm, i bet there are some more, but i cannot think of them right now.

But the topic isn' t " Who is the toughest boss?" now is it?

Besides, you' re supposed to just use a few bullets and the rocket anyway aren' t you? Hence the cutscene at the end with Leon firing it.

Bring on Resi 5!

But to be a great boss you got to give the gamer a challenge, after 10 or so hours you earned it. The last boss represents the ulimate test and the hardest fight within a game, if its too easy, needless to say the game is less memorable. for me anyway.

I like rock hard bosses.

I think Bob from Earth Worm Jim is worth a mention despite putting up no form of challenge at all.

That' s just your opinion though. I, personally, LOVE simple bosses. I don' t tend to enjoy boss fights that nearly force me to smash the television or throw my handheld system.

Andross is pretty cool, though...

Edit- Actually, I like tough bosses- it' s just the fighting them bit that annoys me!

?????????

if " boss " is easy how do you know he' s the boss?

Next time you want to throw your controller go to the mirror and say " IT' s ME !! I SUCK , NOT THE CONTROLLER"

That' s the best cure :)

Who cares if some boss looks cool - the challenge is something you remember for years.

Guber - Bosses in Ocarina of Time were hard - especially the last one mentioned here quite often.
