...From any game.

I personally would like to elect any of the boss battles in MGS3. Especially that sniper battle with the old guy The End.

That game/boss battle alone makes the PS2 > PS3 and Xbox 360.

Never played that game gene, but i'd say the last level on Medal Of Honour Airbourne Assualt, where there's 6 or 7 of those massive Pandzershrech / Heer Fighters (With MG42s Straped to them) in the one section of the level is pretty damn hard..

Before I even entered the topic I was going to say The End from MGS3. Heck, the whole game, no wait, the whole series, is full of epic boss battles. But The End just takes the cake. Sure you can do it the cheap way and just run around with thermal goggles and track him down, but it's so much more fun to put on some headphones, turn up the sound, and play it as a sniper vs. sniper. Extremely intense and I'd practically shit my pants at the slightest movement, even a deer.

Very epic game indeed. I'm just afraid that playing it too much might ruin it. But lately I've been longing to go back and play through again. It'll be so hard to top this, so hopefully MGS4 will kick just as much ass and even more!

Dude, I've been having urges to play MGS3 for ages. It's killing me, I wish it was on PC. Probably wouldn't be as good though.

But seriously, the whole time I played MGS3 I was just like "Woah". The huge arse "ending" scene that feels like its going for ages (after you plant the C3 in those container rooms onwards) is just pure flat out epic. The motorbike scene, the shagohod scene, then finally killing The Boss almost made me cry. Then the escape when you think that you and Eva (i think it was Eva with you?) have the taking off scene getting chased by the jets.

You know what, I'm gonna save up and buy a PS2/MGS3 again.

You mean you actually got rid of it!? /facepalm /epicfail

Every time I play that motorbike scene, along with the amazing and intense music, I get chills up my spine. I have the soundtrack and that song just makes whatever I'm doing at the moment extremely intense, whether I'm furiously typing an essay, or playing solitaire.


I suppose bosses from Shadow of the Colossus could also be pretty epic... but I haven't played the game yet And I freaking own it! I played a demo and it was amazing, bought it for $20, but still haven't gotten around to playing it yet. The whole game is boss battles basically, and from what I hear, they stack up well against MGS3 bosses.

Hell yeah, King of Boss Battles, some of the most fun and intense ones Ive had was with old Ganny.


However, The End was pretty awesome, even with thermal I still had trouble finidng him sometimes, and literally would jump at the slightest sound.  Was such a relief when he finally died.

In no specific order:

Top 5 in order:

GLaDOS - Portal
Strider Battle - HL2: Episode 2
Atlas/Fontaine - Bioshock
General RAAM - Gears of War
Lou - Guitar Hero III

Honorable mentions:

Nihlanth - Half-Life
Nemsis - Resident Evil
Officer Tenpenny & Crew - GTA: San Andreas
Catalina - GTA III
Lance Vance/Forellis - GTA: Vice City

That's all I can really think of. Most games I play nowadays are MP.

Most of the one's in the Serious Sam series.

300ft tall bitch was the boss of SS1 (first encounter)

https://www.gamer.co.il/gamer/270/10271.jpg

and then the end boss of SS2 was a giant fucking building. Don't forget the number of bitches you have to kill before you even get to the final building in the background.

Paxton Fettel at the end of F.E.A.R. He just kneels there and you shoot him in the head.

(Yeah I know, not a boss battle as such, but a main antagonist.)

First thing I came to think of when reading "Boss", was Mortal Kombats Shao Kahn, especially MKII

Melvin the hobbit in Overlord hands down.

TBH all boss battles in Overlord were epic.

Shub Niggurath in Quake 1 is also worth mentioning because it took forever to figure out for me.
