The Boss

Replayed MGS recently so these are the great boss fights I can think of.

oooo this reminded me of one of my favorites the END!  He's so epic especially the first time when the sheer longevity of it takes you by such surprise.  It really is a battle of wits and endurance

Yes, I was referring to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Keep in mind that I was 11 years old when I first played and beat the game, so she was very challenging for me at the time.

IKR? I had a lot of trouble on that when I was a kid, but I played the game again a few months back. Still had the same epic feel, just not the difficulty. 


Spam dat Badge Power. Once you learn how to properly use badges strategically and master the block commands,  you are practically invincible.

Block power and other timing elements like that were what made the combat so dang fun.

Desert dragon, chasing that with Agro, making the jump and climbing onto it's back, doesn't get more epic than that!



I wonder if we'll ever come across a video game horse that behaves as realistically as Agro :)

Shadow of the Colossus.. what a game..

I normally don't like boss batles, annoying obstacles preventing me from getting back to the fun things in games. Riding horses is usually a disaster in games and I rather run instead. SotC is truly special, making boss batles fun and have a horse that's a joy to work with. Ofcourse a wide open landscape helps.

GlaDos was fun to beat too, more for the humor than any challenge.
