After the first worst bosses list, I failed to believe that there could exist lebih awful bosses. I have hope in game creators that they will do everything in their power to make bosses lebih fun, challenging, and worth my time, and would never find lebih bosses as bad as those in the past… I was an idiot to think that! While I do believe there exists lebih good video game bosses than bad bosses, that doesn’t mean there aren’t bad video game bosses out there. And let me tell you, they are, for a fact, out there. And they are really bad. So, naturally, the same rules as it was previously, only bosses from games that I have played and only one per franchise. Simple as that. These bosses blow. Let’s go!
~#10~
As much as I will always say that I prefer Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask over Ocarina of Time any hari of the week, I will admit that Ocarina excelled at some things where Majora’s Mask fell flat. While Majora’s Mask had a better story and side quests, Ocarina of time did have a lebih expansive world to explore, if a little barren, but at least lebih accurate and less Mario-styled like Majora’s Mask. And the bosses in Ocarina of Time, I found to be much lebih fun. Majora’s Mask’ bosses range from one great, the rest being okay… to Gyorg.
#10: Gyorg from Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
First off, let’s talk about Gyorg’s name… What the hell is that? What kind of name is Gyorg? That isn’t even creative. That’s just pure gibberish. The name, however, is far from being the worst part of this boss. It’s important to note that this boss is at the end of the Great teluk, da? Temple, the worst dungeon in, debatably, all of Zelda. A confusing mess to traverse through and being constantly carried oleh heavy currents. So already, anyone could easily be in a bad mood. And Gyorg is just there to make things worse. At least Morpha, while being trash, anda could stay on dry land. Gyorg will cower under the water juuuust out of reach of your projectiles and forcing anda to go into the water. Once anda are inside, if anda aren’t on him in an instant, you’ve already lost him. But don’t worry, it won’t be long before anda find him, coming out of nowhere and eating anda alive, doing a large amount of damage. After some point in the fight, it will send out little baby fishes, as if trying to fight the camera wasn’t enough. The camera in this fight does everything to work against. If anda wanna avoid getting hit, if anda don’t see him as soon as anda enter the water, start running, and don’t stop until anda feel like your safe. And trust me, anda really aren’t safe. It’s like the water dungeons in Zelda games are made to be awful, and Great teluk, da? Temple is no exception.
~#9~
Dead Rising, the first one, while not perfect oleh any means, is still a fun game, and still my favorit of the series. The psychopath bosses in this game are also pretty fun. Adam is a lovable bastard, Kent is a snarky douchebag, and Cliff will always be my favorit boss in the series. But sadly, like Dead Rising itself, the boss daftar isn’t perfect. anda do have bosses like Carlito with a rifle… and Cletus.
#9: Cletus from Dead Rising
While oleh far much better than Sullivan just for the simple fact that he is optional in the game, Cletus is still an annoying bastard. As soon as the cutscene prior to the boss fight ends and anda are in gameplay, anda have no time to react to getting shot. anda will take a hit, regardless, unless you’re moving immediately. And once anda get that done, congratulations, anda avoided one of the many bullshit hits. anda win an extra detik before you’re health is drained because anda don’t know what to do. If anda are inside the gunshop, anda are just screwed. Since the shotgun can spread, it will hit anda and it will hit anda hard, and not only will it instantly knock down one block of health, it can also stun anda and even knock anda on your feet, giving Cletus just enough time to reload and api again! All anda can do is hide outside of the store and shoot at him with some low level handguns anda probably got from some zombies. If anda didn’t know that, you’re just shit out of luck, because the only handguns are in the store, and anda know what that means. Run out into the line of api just to get a weak gun and probably die in the process. And if that wasn’t enough, if anda take too long, Cletus will take out a bottle of wine and fully heal himself. Again, this is far from as bad as Sullivan, as I said, this is an optional boss fight and can easily be avoided. It isn’t even mentioned as a side quest. And, it is lower, because if anda do manage to unlock the Mega Buster, Cletus, like every other boss in the game, is reduced to a pathetic weakling.

Can we get one good fighting game boss? Just one? Why do they all have to be cheap and hard to kill. Can we get one that looks intimidating and is just as skilled as a real player instead of spamming stupid, cheap, unavoidable bullshit? What I’m trying to say is that the final boss of Skullgirls is the one bad part of Skullgirls.
#8: Marie from Skullgirls
As far as cheap bosses go, Marie is probably one of the worse. Marie is nowhere near as unfair and as bullshit as Shao Kahn, but anda can at least predict some of Shao Kahn’s attacks. Not all, but some. With Marie, it is impossible to predict all except a select few. All of her attacks immediately come at anda while anda are fighting and anda get absolutely no warning as to what you’re supposed to do to avoid it. The first form of Marie starts with her standing in place as she launches skulls at anda when anda get close. The problem is that, considering it’s a fighting game, anda kind of need to be close unless some of your characters miraculously has a projectile. If anda are close, anda will have little time to notice the skulls flying at you, atau the giant skeletal monster flying towards anda that does several hits as it passes oleh you. Marie’s detik form will give her the ability to summon a skeleton with a tommy gun that shoots anda several times and a shadow figure that is only predictable for a few seconds, before it leaves the screen and then flies towards anda with a fast and hard punch. And the final phase has her using all of this, only now, Marie is constantly moving around the screen and she can only be hit with upward atau jumping attacks. Even if anda have a special pindah that could hit her, good luck getting a hit in. She is always moving and if anda have to be on the ground for it to work, believe me, it’s not going to work. And even then, it still may not work. Try beating her on the hardest possible difficulty. Trust me, it’s like trying to dodge rain in a hurricane. It ain’t easy. Neither is this boss.

(SPOILERS FOR NO lebih heroes 2: DESPERATE STRUGGLE)
I doubt that I will ever find a game franchise that has excited me lebih than the No lebih heroes franchise. This was a game series I had desperately wanted to play for years and struggled to do so…. That was fucking terrible! So, when I played No lebih heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, I can say a few things for sure. In some cases, the bosses were much better than the original game. And in other cases, such as the case with the final boss, it was much, much worse than the original.
#7: Jasper Batt Jr. from No lebih heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
diberikan that I have both reviewed No lebih heroes 2 and discussed this boss in my sebelumnya Best and Worst bosses list, I’ll try to keep from mentioning similar things and just discuss this boss as fast as I can. Jasper Batt Jr. is a boss with three phases, and each one is a sign of a bad final boss. The first phase starts out very easy, with Jasper firing easy to avoid lasers and not even trying bats. After anda defeat that phase, the fight gets much, much worse. In the detik phase, it goes from pathetically easy, to complete cheap bullshit. Jasper will meninju, pukulan anda around the room, giving anda very little time to react once anda get up, and even then, anda have no time to react because anda have to deal with Jasper constantly throwing punches and trying to suplex anda into the ground. And, I’ve berkata this many times before, but avoid the windows. Avoid them like the plague. Because if anda get in between Jasper’s meninju, pukulan and a window, he will send anda right through it and it will be an instant death, with no way of avoiding it and you’ll have to start from the beginning of the detik phase. But nothing is compared to the third and final phase, where Jasper becomes a giant parade float…. Yes, really. Not only are anda now having to fight Jasper as he hits anda with hard to avoid attacks and sometimes just waiting for the game to let anda win, but anda also now have to fight against the camera, which can get stuck because Jasper is such a big target, anda may not be able to see what’s going on.Who designed this awful camera work for the boss? The Devil May Cry team? Regardless, as much as Jasper is a terrible boss, I think that many people have slightly blew it out of proportions. He is terrible, one of the worst bosses I have ever faced. But he isn’t impossible. It just takes knowing when to strike and just going right to him. Plus the game being generous with allowing anda to save yourself from death when anda run out of health makes the boss a little easier. Still, a terrible way to end No lebih heroes 2 if anda ask me.
~#6~
Resident Evil Zero is a game I am very… mixed about. I’d go into lebih detail than that, but trust me, I have a whole daftar planned for that occasion. So, with that out of the way, let’s discuss the bosses instead. The bosses in this game aren’t great. The kalajengking boss sucked, the lipan boss sucked, Proto-Tyrant is okay, the Leech queen sucked, but the Infected Bat...Oh boy.
#6: Infected Bat from Resident Evil Zero
Let me tell anda something right now. Resident Evil was not a game made to handle multiple enemies in one room all coming at anda real fast. It was not meant to be a big run and gun game. I’ll get to that crap in a bit. Let’s talk about the first part of the boss and why that alone is terrible. The Infected Bat, despite being a big target, is very hard to hit with some weapons. It will mostly fly above anda and out of your view of the camera as anda just have to wait for it to tampil up. Once it does tampil up, it gives barely enough time to react. anda have to shoot it the very detik it comes flying at you. If anda stall for a second, anda will be taking a hit. But anda will never know when it will be coming at anda because the camera is always locked in one spot and stops just short of where anda can see the Infected Bat. And it can also grab you, lift anda off the ground, and fly around, hurting you, before dropping anda to the ground. A lot of bosses have this annoying mechanic where they grab anda and hurt you, and it gets real annoying. But the fight only gets worse, because as soon as anda widdle it’s health down enough, a group of smaller bats will come in, and this is where the fight becomes atrocious. Like I berkata before, Resident Evil was not meant for anda to handle several enemies. The same strategy still stands, wait for the bat to fly at anda and hit it. Only now, because of the auto lock on in Resident Evil Zero, anda may end up aiming at one of the smaller bats flying around the area, and that will greatly screw anda over because anda could either waste a bullet from a powerful gun on them atau end up aiming at the wrong enemy as the Infected Bat flies at you. The kalajengking boss, the lipan boss, and the queen Leech were no winners, I assure you, but they at least had the decency to fight anda on their own without acak enemies getting in the way. The Infected Bat? Not so much.

I did once have plans for making a puncak, atas 5 Best and Worst bosses for Dark Souls 2, but the lebih I played it, the lebih I realised, “Wow, there aren’t many memorable bosses from this game, is there. In fact, a majority of them are just okay at best”. If anda want my honest thoughts, the Looking Glass Night was the best boss and Royal tikus Authority is the absolute worst.
#5: Royal tikus Authority from Dark Souls 2
The first thing anda should notice about this boss and how much of a problem it is can be seen from the Fog Gate alone. There is a bonfire right outside the boss room. So, when anda die, anda can just run right back in and get a do over. That is how anda know that this will be one of the worst bosses in the game. The moment anda step through the door, anda will see a giant tikus on the puncak, atas of a platform with four smaller rats at the bottom. What anda want to do is simple. Kill those four rats. Fast! Using your strongest projectile as fast as anda can. The reason is because those rats are carrying Toxic, a status ailment that will deplete your health at a much faster rate than Poison. Once anda are Toxic, anda might as well just die right then and there, because there is no way to get aman, brankas from that, because the Royal tikus Authority will continue to leap at you. And anda want to kill the smaller rats before the Royal tikus Authority joins the fight. Even if anda aren’t hit with Toxic, he can kill anda while anda are dealing with them and kill anda in a few seconds. Once the smaller rats are dead, if anda somehow manage to kill them in your first few tries, the rest of the boss is simple. But the boss appears to have a similar moveset. One of a giant four-legged creature. Yeah, the boss is just a reskinned Sif from the first Dark Souls. Only instead of being a fun and emotional fight, anda get this annoying one. But I am feeling some emotions alright! That’s for damn sure! I’ve also heard rumors that the boss’ hitbox makes absolutely no sense. anda could roll out of the way of an attack, but anda will still get hit regardless of what anda do. This was the Dark Souls 2 equivalent of Sif… Let that describe the quality of the bosses in this game compared to the first Dark Souls.
~#4~
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was a terrible game. Bad combat, generic fighting, and a Konquest mode that made Deception’s look good, with some of the worst story menulis and most bland fighting mecaniques in a Mortal Kombat game thus far. But don’t worry, because Konquest mode allowed anda to beat up enemies outside of 1 v. 1 fighting, almost like a beat ‘em up. A very sloppy one. And there were bosses in them… And these bosses sucked. But of course, one of them is worse than the rest.
#4: Shao Kahn Colossus from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
anda thought Mortal Kombat 9 had the first shit Shao Kahn fight? Well, allow me to tampil anda the Shao Kahn Colossus from Armageddon, while not being worse, it’s still bad on it’s own. The first thing to note about this boss is that, since it’s a colossus, anda have no means of fighting it. The boss will api projectiles at anda from across the room and ground pound, sending anda flying. Instead of hitting the boss, anda are resorted to running around the room like an idiot and launching fireballs at four glowing spots on each side of the room. After that, anda have to slowly and painstakingly lure the Shao Kahn Colossus to a lingkaran in the center of the room, while he is still firing at anda with projectiles, and then ground pound a button to send a beam of energy at the Colossus. But of course, that only brings him down to half health. If anda want to kill him, anda have to do the same thing again! And while anda are doing this, anda won’t be able to look at him and see the projectiles flying at you. And if anda are on the ground, he can still hit you, giving anda no breaks from his constant onslaught. So not only can he hit anda from miles away, he also takes his sweet time for anda to get a chance to hit him. Despite all of that, the boss is also really short, and can be beaten in a few seconds, if the AI allows it. But until anda get the chance to defeat him, have fun being sent flying through the air a few times.
~#3~
Man, Devil May Cry 3 was such a great game. Dare I say it, it’s the best in the series. Though, I think many will agree with me on that account. So tell me why they had to go and make a boss like Arkham and put him in the game, and just have to ruin it’s chance of perfection? Just why?!
#3: Arkham from Devil May Cry 3
From the start of the boss, it may not seem like the best boss in the game, but it isn’t too bad… Yet! His attacks mainly consist of him flailing his arms around and running around the room, making it a bit annoying to combo him with any melee weapons. A real annoying attack of his is when he sinks into the floor and creates an army of these slug creatures that will jump at anda and attack anda all at once. If anda aren’t constantly moving, atau have an area clearing item, anda will be taking a few hits from them, guaranteed. But, like I said, this isn't where the fight because terrible. No, the fight becomes terrible when Vergil shows up. And I never thought I would ever have to say things get worse when Vergil shows up. When the fight starts, anda can ask Vergil to help anda out oleh pressing the B button. That sounds sick, doesn’t it? Well, it would be, if it wasn’t for the fact that it takes away your skill that anda choose at the beginning of the game. Well, as anda continue the fight, you’ll notice something. Where’s my fucking Styles?! In Devil May Cry, anda can choose four styles before each level. One’s that allow better blocking, shooting, melee, atau dodging. Well, in this fight, anda get nothing, because the button to use your Style is replaced with a button to call Vergil over. As handy as Vergil is in this fight, that doesn’t help when the slugs are jumping anda and constantly beating anda because your Royalguard Style is now gone atau anda can’t get any good dodged because your Trickster Style is now gone. Depending on how much anda relied on that Style, anda will get annihilated very quickly, and it’s what makes the fight with Arkham so much worse than it could have been. Thankfully, anda get one of the best fights in the entire series afterward, but that still doesn’t save the atrocious fight with Arkham.
~#2~
(SPOILERS FOR FINAL fantasi XIII)
I have berkata it before, and I will say it many times in the future. I hate Final fantasi XIII. I do not like the combat system, I think the story is really dumb and confusing, the world makes anda feel trapped and unable to break out of it, and the characters are okay at best and Lightning at worst. And then there is the main villain, Barthandelus, atau luar angkasa Pope to the internet. I know that, as the main villain, he should appear numerous times… But does he gotta suck every time?
#2: Barthandelus from Final fantasi XIII
There are only two ways I know how to beat this boss. Believe me, none of them are any good. The best way is to do the obvious. GRIND! Grind until anda are at the peak of the level anda need to be in the game. If anda aren’t at the very point of leveling up, than anda may not stand a chance against the boss. The other tactic is to level up just enough and then be prepared for a long and rather boring fight. The reason I say that is because, if anda have the right strategy, you’ll never really be in any danger when anda go up against Barthandelus. Well, until anda get hit with some pindah that makes anda think, “Wow, that was fucking cheap”, mainly because if the party leader dies, everyone dies. Oh yeah, it’s one of those JRPGs! If it wasn’t good in Persona 4, what makes Final fantasi XIII think it will be better. So yeah, this fight will drag on and on and on until either he dies, anda die, atau your brain cells just quit completely. The fight will be nothing lebih than a bore, but hey, at least anda got a strategy that will kill him soon- Wait a minute! I almost forgot! In Final fantasi XIII, bosses have this thing where, if they believe that anda are taking up too much of their time, they will speed the fight up, atau make anda speed it up, oleh introducing a Doom ailment to your party leader. What this does is start a countdown over the leaders head. If anda don’t beat the boss before the timer reaches zero (Trust me, anda won’t beat him before that time), then anda will automatically die, lose the fight, and have to restart the entire fight. This is the way of the game telling anda to get out of here and grind until anda can kill the boss quick enough. That is the thing that made me hate the Barthandelus fights that much more. Because it just decided that it doesn’t feel like taking too long and just ends the fight right then and there. And worst part, anda have to fight this boss again two lebih times. Granted, after the first appearance, anda get used to what anda have to do and now that anda need to grind in order to defeat him, but that doesn’t make the fight any better. They all still suck. And so does this game.
~#1~
I knew from the very start that I had to put this boss at the number one spot. This may just be a boss that no one has ever talked about, but they should. They really should. Because this boss is terrible in every way. Nothing about this boss works. It is atrocious. And that boss is Jen from Primal
#1: Possessed Jen from Primal
Okay, so in this boss fight, Jen, your character that anda use for your combat, ends up getting possessed oleh the big bad guy of the general area. So, instead, anda have to play as Scree, the weaker and smarter of the two. So, you’d think you’d probably have to solve a complicated puzzle atau do a pretty average stealth sequence, correct? No! Instead, anda must fight Jen head on. Alright, that’s not so bad. Maybe I could get a real strong statue to fight her with- Here is this new statue with an all new fighting style anda have no idea about. Start fighting right now. That’s right, anda have a new character to play as, and anda get no time to react as Jen rushes towards you, ready for a fight. Because she is moving while anda are taking control of the other statue, anda will be taking at least one hit right off the bat. It’s a guaranteed hit and impossible to avoid. After that, Jen will start to throw constant combos at you, combos that anda don’t have when anda play as Jen. And anda have to deal with them, which are almost unblockable in some cases, and can really mess anda up if anda aren’t careful. She can keep up this combo until anda are dead. Another thing that really irritates me, anda know, besides the boss room being pretty small in comparison to other areas, is that anda are not able to parry Jen. When anda knock her attack out of the way, and go for a strike, she will always dodge out of the way. But when Jen parries, it always manages to hit you, regardless if anda manage to dodge atau block. anda will get hit and anda can’t do a thing about it. This is what we like to call Fucking Bullshit! The boss has every single advantage over anda and makes the choice of weather anda get to win and pindah on with the game atau not. It becomes such a pain after a while that anda just want to scream in utter anger. The only way to beat this boss, as far as I know, is to psyche her out repeatedly. When she isn’t attack, that’s when anda need to do a big swipe and finish her off. The fact that anda need to resort to cheating is almost as bad as another boss that I know. But that’s beside the point. Regardless, Jen is a boss that took me, no joke, two hours to beat, because of how much bullshit was in this fight. The only plus side is that anda can save the game at any point, so anda can start right outside the boss room. And thank god for that, because I don’t think I could have handled going through that level. So, there anda go. Possessed Jen. Worst boss I ever fought. I’m going to go play Persona now.

A confusing mess to traverse through and being constantly carried oleh heavy currents. So already, anyone could easily be in a bad mood. And Gyorg is just there to make things worse. At least Morpha, while being trash, anda could stay on dry land. Gyorg will cower under the water juuuust out of reach of your projectiles and forcing anda to go into the water. Once anda are inside, if anda aren’t on him in an instant, you’ve already lost him. But don’t worry, it won’t be long before anda find him, coming out of nowhere and eating anda alive, doing a large amount of damage. After some point in the fight, it will send out little baby fishes, as if trying to fight the camera wasn’t enough. The camera in this fight does everything to work against. If anda wanna avoid getting hit, if anda don’t see him as soon as anda enter the water, start running, and don’t stop until anda feel like your safe. And trust me, anda really aren’t safe. It’s like the water dungeons in Zelda games are made to be awful, and Great teluk, da? Temple is no exception.

And once anda get that done, congratulations, anda avoided one of the many bullshit hits. anda win an extra detik before you’re health is drained because anda don’t know what to do. If anda are inside the gunshop, anda are just screwed. Since the shotgun can spread, it will hit anda and it will hit anda hard, and not only will it instantly knock down one block of health, it can also stun anda and even knock anda on your feet, giving Cletus just enough time to reload and api again! All anda can do is hide outside of the store and shoot at him with some low level handguns anda probably got from some zombies. If anda didn’t know that, you’re just shit out of luck, because the only handguns are in the store, and anda know what that means. Run out into the line of api just to get a weak gun and probably die in the process. And if that wasn’t enough, if anda take too long, Cletus will take out a bottle of wine and fully heal himself. Again, this is far from as bad as Sullivan, as I said, this is an optional boss fight and can easily be avoided. It isn’t even mentioned as a side quest. And, it is lower, because if anda do manage to unlock the Mega Buster, Cletus, like every other boss in the game, is reduced to a pathetic weakling.

Even if anda have a special pindah that could hit her, good luck getting a hit in. She is always moving and if anda have to be on the ground for it to work, believe me, it’s not going to work. And even then, it still may not work. Try beating her on the hardest possible difficulty. Trust me, it’s like trying to dodge rain in a hurricane. It ain’t easy. Neither is this boss.

Let me tell anda something right now. Resident Evil was not a game made to handle multiple enemies in one room all coming at anda real fast. It was not meant to be a big run and gun game. I’ll get to that crap in a bit. Let’s talk about the first part of the boss and why that alone is terrible. The Infected Bat, despite being a big target, is very hard to hit with some weapons. It will mostly fly above anda and out of your view of the camera as anda just have to wait for it to tampil up. Once it does tampil up, it gives barely enough time to react. anda have to shoot it the very detik it comes flying at you. If anda stall for a second, anda will be taking a hit. But anda will never know when it will be coming at anda because the camera is always locked in one spot and stops just short of where anda can see the Infected Bat. And it can also grab you, lift anda off the ground, and fly around, hurting you, before dropping anda to the ground. A lot of bosses have this annoying mechanic where they grab anda and hurt you, and it gets real annoying. But the fight only gets worse, because as soon as anda widdle it’s health down enough, a group of smaller bats will come in, and this is where the fight becomes atrocious. Like I berkata before, Resident Evil was not meant for anda to handle several enemies. The same strategy still stands, wait for the bat to fly at anda and hit it. Only now, because of the auto lock on in Resident Evil Zero, anda may end up aiming at one of the smaller bats flying around the area, and that will greatly screw anda over because anda could either waste a bullet from a powerful gun on them atau end up aiming at the wrong enemy as the Infected Bat flies at you. The kalajengking boss, the lipan boss, and the queen Leech were no winners, I assure you, but they at least had the decency to fight anda on their own without acak enemies getting in the way. The Infected Bat? Not so much.

I did once have plans for making a puncak, atas 5 Best and Worst bosses for Dark Souls 2, but the lebih I played it, the lebih I realised, “Wow, there aren’t many memorable bosses from this game, is there. In fact, a majority of them are just okay at best”. If anda want my honest thoughts, the Looking Glass Night was the best boss and Royal tikus Authority is the absolute worst.
#5: Royal tikus Authority from Dark Souls 2
The first thing anda should notice about this boss and how much of a problem it is can be seen from the Fog Gate alone. There is a bonfire right outside the boss room. So, when anda die, anda can just run right back in and get a do over. That is how anda know that this will be one of the worst bosses in the game. The moment anda step through the door, anda will see a giant tikus on the puncak, atas of a platform with four smaller rats at the bottom. What anda want to do is simple. Kill those four rats. Fast! Using your strongest projectile as fast as anda can. The reason is because those rats are carrying Toxic, a status ailment that will deplete your health at a much faster rate than Poison. Once anda are Toxic, anda might as well just die right then and there, because there is no way to get aman, brankas from that, because the Royal tikus Authority will continue to leap at you. And anda want to kill the smaller rats before the Royal tikus Authority joins the fight. Even if anda aren’t hit with Toxic, he can kill anda while anda are dealing with them and kill anda in a few seconds. Once the smaller rats are dead, if anda somehow manage to kill them in your first few tries, the rest of the boss is simple. But the boss appears to have a similar moveset. One of a giant four-legged creature. Yeah, the boss is just a reskinned Sif from the first Dark Souls. Only instead of being a fun and emotional fight, anda get this annoying one. But I am feeling some emotions alright! That’s for damn sure! I’ve also heard rumors that the boss’ hitbox makes absolutely no sense. anda could roll out of the way of an attack, but anda will still get hit regardless of what anda do. This was the Dark Souls 2 equivalent of Sif… Let that describe the quality of the bosses in this game compared to the first Dark Souls.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was a terrible game. Bad combat, generic fighting, and a Konquest mode that made Deception’s look good, with some of the worst story menulis and most bland fighting mecaniques in a Mortal Kombat game thus far. But don’t worry, because Konquest mode allowed anda to beat up enemies outside of 1 v. 1 fighting, almost like a beat ‘em up. A very sloppy one. And there were bosses in them… And these bosses sucked. But of course, one of them is worse than the rest.
#4: Shao Kahn Colossus from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
anda thought Mortal Kombat 9 had the first shit Shao Kahn fight? Well, allow me to tampil anda the Shao Kahn Colossus from Armageddon, while not being worse, it’s still bad on it’s own. The first thing to note about this boss is that, since it’s a colossus, anda have no means of fighting it. The boss will api projectiles at anda from across the room and ground pound, sending anda flying. Instead of hitting the boss, anda are resorted to running around the room like an idiot and launching fireballs at four glowing spots on each side of the room. After that, anda have to slowly and painstakingly lure the Shao Kahn Colossus to a lingkaran in the center of the room, while he is still firing at anda with projectiles, and then ground pound a button to send a beam of energy at the Colossus. But of course, that only brings him down to half health. If anda want to kill him, anda have to do the same thing again! And while anda are doing this, anda won’t be able to look at him and see the projectiles flying at you. And if anda are on the ground, he can still hit you, giving anda no breaks from his constant onslaught. So not only can he hit anda from miles away, he also takes his sweet time for anda to get a chance to hit him. Despite all of that, the boss is also really short, and can be beaten in a few seconds, if the AI allows it. But until anda get the chance to defeat him, have fun being sent flying through the air a few times.

Man, Devil May Cry 3 was such a great game. Dare I say it, it’s the best in the series. Though, I think many will agree with me on that account. So tell me why they had to go and make a boss like Arkham and put him in the game, and just have to ruin it’s chance of perfection? Just why?!
#3: Arkham from Devil May Cry 3
From the start of the boss, it may not seem like the best boss in the game, but it isn’t too bad… Yet! His attacks mainly consist of him flailing his arms around and running around the room, making it a bit annoying to combo him with any melee weapons. A real annoying attack of his is when he sinks into the floor and creates an army of these slug creatures that will jump at anda and attack anda all at once. If anda aren’t constantly moving, atau have an area clearing item, anda will be taking a few hits from them, guaranteed. But, like I said, this isn't where the fight because terrible. No, the fight becomes terrible when Vergil shows up. And I never thought I would ever have to say things get worse when Vergil shows up. When the fight starts, anda can ask Vergil to help anda out oleh pressing the B button. That sounds sick, doesn’t it? Well, it would be, if it wasn’t for the fact that it takes away your skill that anda choose at the beginning of the game. Well, as anda continue the fight, you’ll notice something. Where’s my fucking Styles?! In Devil May Cry, anda can choose four styles before each level. One’s that allow better blocking, shooting, melee, atau dodging. Well, in this fight, anda get nothing, because the button to use your Style is replaced with a button to call Vergil over. As handy as Vergil is in this fight, that doesn’t help when the slugs are jumping anda and constantly beating anda because your Royalguard Style is now gone atau anda can’t get any good dodged because your Trickster Style is now gone. Depending on how much anda relied on that Style, anda will get annihilated very quickly, and it’s what makes the fight with Arkham so much worse than it could have been. Thankfully, anda get one of the best fights in the entire series afterward, but that still doesn’t save the atrocious fight with Arkham.

(SPOILERS FOR FINAL fantasi XIII)
I have berkata it before, and I will say it many times in the future. I hate Final fantasi XIII. I do not like the combat system, I think the story is really dumb and confusing, the world makes anda feel trapped and unable to break out of it, and the characters are okay at best and Lightning at worst. And then there is the main villain, Barthandelus, atau luar angkasa Pope to the internet. I know that, as the main villain, he should appear numerous times… But does he gotta suck every time?
#2: Barthandelus from Final fantasi XIII
There are only two ways I know how to beat this boss. Believe me, none of them are any good. The best way is to do the obvious. GRIND! Grind until anda are at the peak of the level anda need to be in the game. If anda aren’t at the very point of leveling up, than anda may not stand a chance against the boss. The other tactic is to level up just enough and then be prepared for a long and rather boring fight. The reason I say that is because, if anda have the right strategy, you’ll never really be in any danger when anda go up against Barthandelus. Well, until anda get hit with some pindah that makes anda think, “Wow, that was fucking cheap”, mainly because if the party leader dies, everyone dies. Oh yeah, it’s one of those JRPGs! If it wasn’t good in Persona 4, what makes Final fantasi XIII think it will be better. So yeah, this fight will drag on and on and on until either he dies, anda die, atau your brain cells just quit completely. The fight will be nothing lebih than a bore, but hey, at least anda got a strategy that will kill him soon- Wait a minute! I almost forgot! In Final fantasi XIII, bosses have this thing where, if they believe that anda are taking up too much of their time, they will speed the fight up, atau make anda speed it up, oleh introducing a Doom ailment to your party leader. What this does is start a countdown over the leaders head. If anda don’t beat the boss before the timer reaches zero (Trust me, anda won’t beat him before that time), then anda will automatically die, lose the fight, and have to restart the entire fight. This is the way of the game telling anda to get out of here and grind until anda can kill the boss quick enough. That is the thing that made me hate the Barthandelus fights that much more. Because it just decided that it doesn’t feel like taking too long and just ends the fight right then and there. And worst part, anda have to fight this boss again two lebih times. Granted, after the first appearance, anda get used to what anda have to do and now that anda need to grind in order to defeat him, but that doesn’t make the fight any better. They all still suck. And so does this game.

I knew from the very start that I had to put this boss at the number one spot. This may just be a boss that no one has ever talked about, but they should. They really should. Because this boss is terrible in every way. Nothing about this boss works. It is atrocious. And that boss is Jen from Primal
#1: Possessed Jen from Primal
Okay, so in this boss fight, Jen, your character that anda use for your combat, ends up getting possessed oleh the big bad guy of the general area. So, instead, anda have to play as Scree, the weaker and smarter of the two. So, you’d think you’d probably have to solve a complicated puzzle atau do a pretty average stealth sequence, correct? No! Instead, anda must fight Jen head on. Alright, that’s not so bad. Maybe I could get a real strong statue to fight her with- Here is this new statue with an all new fighting style anda have no idea about. Start fighting right now. That’s right, anda have a new character to play as, and anda get no time to react as Jen rushes towards you, ready for a fight. Because she is moving while anda are taking control of the other statue, anda will be taking at least one hit right off the bat. It’s a guaranteed hit and impossible to avoid. After that, Jen will start to throw constant combos at you, combos that anda don’t have when anda play as Jen. And anda have to deal with them, which are almost unblockable in some cases, and can really mess anda up if anda aren’t careful. She can keep up this combo until anda are dead. Another thing that really irritates me, anda know, besides the boss room being pretty small in comparison to other areas, is that anda are not able to parry Jen. When anda knock her attack out of the way, and go for a strike, she will always dodge out of the way. But when Jen parries, it always manages to hit you, regardless if anda manage to dodge atau block. anda will get hit and anda can’t do a thing about it. This is what we like to call Fucking Bullshit! The boss has every single advantage over anda and makes the choice of weather anda get to win and pindah on with the game atau not. It becomes such a pain after a while that anda just want to scream in utter anger. The only way to beat this boss, as far as I know, is to psyche her out repeatedly. When she isn’t attack, that’s when anda need to do a big swipe and finish her off. The fact that anda need to resort to cheating is almost as bad as another boss that I know. But that’s beside the point. Regardless, Jen is a boss that took me, no joke, two hours to beat, because of how much bullshit was in this fight. The only plus side is that anda can save the game at any point, so anda can start right outside the boss room. And thank god for that, because I don’t think I could have handled going through that level. So, there anda go. Possessed Jen. Worst boss I ever fought. I’m going to go play Persona now.
