yeah, alot of games are like this now days. Tomb Raider had a poor excuse of a final boss but it never really had any real bosses anyway, but yeah im not feeling the anticlimactic endings.

This post is what I would like to call a spoiler :ufdup:
I'm about 72% done, was looking forward to a battle that isn't coming anymore

But at least you have a sorry excuse for a Mod to c/s this post :mindblown:

don't act like the insanity that happened at the end of Mass Effect 3 was easy just cause there wasn't a final boss. the game throws several of the worst enemies in the game all at you at the same time.

But we didn't even know that was the last battle at the time. Plus it was kinda glitchy or vague. I was going around killing Banshees and Husks for over an hour because the control (or whatever it was) would not spawn. I had to reset the game and do it over. It was more annoying than rewarding. Personally I think a battle involving Harbinger in some way would have felt a lot better.

The boss battle is usually the main signal that the game is ending. Without it the ending can feel anticlimactic. It's like watching a basketball or football game where the game clock is known only to the ref for the last 5 minutes.

In a sense I think they are almost extinct, yes.

Alot of these new FBs require know how and less actual skill. They want it to be gratifyingly hard instead of frustratingly hard

Back in the 2D gaming days you needed know how, perfect timing/execution, and sometimes a little bit of luck :pachaha:

and when you died you went ALL THE WAY back to the beginning, knowing that while fighting the boss really puts the pressure on as a youngin

This is a thread that's literally about the endings of games.

Courtney stay snitching :snoop:

No, this thread is about "are final bosses becoming endangered species"
That doesn't mean all spoiler etiquette goes completely out the fukkin window :stopitslime: there's a difference between tomb raider and a game released a year ago
Instead of remotely doing what's right, you c/s it :mindblown:

Now you over here mad that I pointed it out? The mature thing to do would be to admit to yourself that you made a mistake and kept it moving.
Instead, you over here talking about stop snitching? Aren't you supposed to be the Feds? :wtf:

nikka, somebody remove this clown ASAP. I should make a thread about this post and sticky it. Mighty healthy you dumb son of a bytch, get in here!!!
But I already know your faggpt ass would turn back into the Feds REAL quick :comeon: yoooooou fukkin fakkit.
And that stop snitching angle was created by white folk to oppress minorities. That way they can keep these private prisons filled
I see you tho :ufdup:
