What ever happened to boss battles? Seems like very few games are doing them anymore. Even MGSV abandoned them

THE GREAT NATHAN DRAKE

OH I EARNED THIS

I would rather have had no boss at the end of Uncharted.

That was a fucking mess.

You only play western games.

Who cares, I'm playing overwatch tonight

Why was it a mess? I thought it was pretty cool. Not sure how difficulty affects it, but on Hard there weren't any button prompts so you had to watch how he was swinging.

Quiet Sniper Battle
Fistfight with Eli
Endurance run with Infernal Volgin
Sahelanthropus Rampage
Zombie parts of mission

they're not realistic enough
the high the graphical fidelity the more out of place typical boss battles feel

>build up combat experience the entire game
>final boss consists of entirely new game mechanics

Why not include parries for melee from the start?

Pretty much all the worst bossfights in the entire franchise though sadly.

>Can't even CQC Quiet

Fuck that game everything I think about it I get mad.

I don't think it ever has button prompts, and I thought it was an ok "final boss", much better than 1 or 3's (Lazaravic is still a good fight and a better final boss than Crash 2 or Jak 3 as well).

On Crushing Rafe will basically one-shot you, which makes it very tough.

Jesus Christ, that looks fucking shit. And I don't mean the webm quality.

I can't even remember 3's. Talbot?

>final bosses are now about running around trying to snag as many mocap'd animation segments as you can
Naughty dog is better than this. Uncharted 2 actually had a pretty decent final boss.

theyre too hard :(((

To answer your question seriously, because there has been a push for games to be more cinematic it's hard to justify a truely memorable boss battle from a narrative point of view.

So the bad guy is usually just a quick time event rather then a mecha hitler.

>Being a real big fan of the bosses in MGS2 and 3
>Bought MGSV in hoping I'd get some more of that sweet action
>Got nothing

Piece of shit game.

They require creativity.

On a related note, Nintendo games are doing great. The new Kirby's final boss has like 9 forms.

Amy hennîg is gone and their heads are lodged firmly up their own asses. Its all about the story now, even moreso than the other games

>has the fucking sword
>hits with an empty hand repeatedly

Nate's not a killer
