I wouldn't miss bosses either ironclad Send a noteboard - 02/07/2010 01:17:44 PM
I don't know if it is a girl thing. I love killing the minor bad guys. Hacking and slashing is an excellent way of getting rid of pent-up aggression and (I am convinced) keeps one from acting out one's violent tendencies in real life.

But I do not see the point of bosses. They just increase my stress levels. They are evil and damned impossible to kill.

It's annoying when there is only one way to kill them or the game is actually set up in a way that you'll most likely need several attempts to kill him. There have been games that I never finished because I lost against the boss after a 20 minute battle or so.
The ending has to be challenging but fair, not excruciatingly hard, it doesn't need a boss per se, as far as I am concerned.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

It depends on the type of boss. There are two broad categories, one of which you'd probably enjoy. lord-of-shadow - 02/07/2010 04:59:33 PM 1329 Views

Except they're moving towards Quick Time Events more and more. grogg0316 - 07/07/2010 02:15:45 PM 1213 Views
Quick Time Events got real popular, then everyone realized that people hated them. lord-of-shadow - 07/07/2010 03:10:47 PM 1172 Views
