As there's a thread running re the "Best Boss", thought I would turn it upside down and start one about the worst/weediest/anti-climatic boss fight in a game.

My vote would have to be Big Smoke in the final mission of GTA: SA. Sure, you have to fight your way too him, then back out again but if you've got the minigun he takes about three seconds to die!
 
Atleast I know how SA finishes. lol umm worst? Havn't had one really, maybe the devil may cry one. Yeah I'll stick with that. 1st dmc too.
 
Atlas in Bioshock-after such an awesome game it was a real let down. The only part of the game which was less than absolutely awesome IMO!

In recent history this is fairly high up there, so I agree, except for how awesome the game was up till then. I wasn't quite as surprised as everything past an hour into the game was a letdown. Even so the boss was pathetic. I mean theres so many games where a final boss will take a few deaths, or at least lots of med pack type use, long fight, multiple stages, learning a trick or two... nothing, wham bam... wtf thats it?
 
Ah if only metal gear solid 4 come out on the pc because the vamp boss fight would put an end to this thread.
 
Last boss in Half-Life 1.

Love the game, one of my favourite games ever, but the last boss was just god awful.
 
Probably Illidan, pretty big anti climax. Not only does he hit like a girl (he could be hitting tanks for 3-4x the dmg to make it somewhat of a challenge) but the entire fight is nothing but: in phase x stand here, in phase y stand there, in phase z stand here again ... do that and regardless of anything else you're doing its a kill.
 
Krieger near the end of the original Far Cry. It's meant to me an epic 10-minute battle, but you can kill him by unloading just a single clip directly into his goolies. :D
 
Lady Vashj in SSC. Talk about a real gatekeeper.

That was an awesome fight, one of my favourites.

Such an anti climax. Archimonde was much better. 15 mins of boredom on Illidan and then your tank gets sheared. Sigh.
 
I found the walker at the end of Warhead very dissappointing.

2 minutes of unloading rocket launchers into him and it was over!

That pink octopus monster thing at the end of Quake. I mean, what the hell was that?

I put that in the 'best boss fight' thread :D


I love that the way you kill it is totally, totally different to the way you've dispatched every single other monster in the whole game.
