Not technically a boss, but try killing more than 50 guys in cruel brawl in super smash bros: brawl. My record is 5...

Yeah, but remember that Rainbow Six is one of the more realistic series in terms of damage.

I know, but you would think he is better armed than with just a fething pistol
Maybe full armour instead of his tux?

Mike Tyson from Punch Out was a PITA.

+1 for Duriel (Frost sorc on Hell difficulty = epic fail, regardless what you try)
+1 for the Avatar in DoW2
+1 for Fontaine in Bioshock, I'm pretty sure I didn't need the buttload of cash and all the vending machines even before going in)

FF9 - most of the Beatrix (the woman wi the funny eyepatch) fights. Every single time you fight her, she had a new weapon you could steal which was an insta-upgrade job. Staying alive long enough for your chimp (read: Zidane) to steal it was the annoyance.

Icewind Dale - The Idol. Dear god the vastness of this battle makes it both epic and fail. 'The Idol' was some well.....idol thing, that could literally gak level 6-8 spells at you faster than could can say "Oh balls". On top of that, the entire room is filled with undead, from zombies to wights and mummies. Oh, then it would throw in some fear spells at any caster in your group that would cause him to run around pissing himself until he runs into a group of as yet undiscovered undead and insta aggro's and dies. I broke my quick-load button on this fight. Oh and Yuxxahoxxamoxxamon-a-hey-hoo or whatever her name was....some serpent woman priesty thing. Every other inch of the floor was trapped and she like spamming fear and feeblemind.... /rage. Especially with a broken quick-load key


As for WoW bosses...most of them were in Wrath tbh, Quel'Thas in MgT was a pain tho. The dragon in the Nexus, i forget the name... where you have to keep jumping to remove the stacking debuff. Someone, somewhere musta had a hell of a bad day to think of that. Every boss in fact, that denies you use of your own character in place of something else, i.e that Jousty fella, final fella in Occulus, some of the mini-boss/quests in Zul'Drak too, err...Zul'Jin was it? Crap reward too.

Seth from Street Fighter IV.

Feels good to get that off my chest.

Emperor Otto Destruct from ratchet and clank: Size Matters.
Where to start, he has a shield, he has waves of energy that it's almost impossible to avoid, and so much health that you invariably run out of ammo before killing him.

Hitler in Bionic Commando. The last guy from Ultraman: Towards the Future. A large chunk of the incredibly slowed KoF bosses. Here's a hint: If your game has a save or password feature, any boss isn't that hard.

Final Fantasy 7 when you are underwater in the Shinra base and you must fight this annoying robot boss there.
I almost cut my game in half just because of that boss, he was so much pain in my ass. Had to try like 20 times before I killed him.
Oh yea and in Final Fantasy 10 the underwater big fish right when you leave the Besaid, after the disappointing Sin battle.
And the last two from FF 10 also, the boss you must fight when you join the big force of people in the beach trying to kill Sin, but then he just spawns a hell lot of fiends and the big prisoned fiend escapes and you must fight him. I HATE HIM.
And last one, the Eversor or whateveritwascalled, the one you fight before saving Yuna from Seymor in Bevelle.
Those are the bosses I REALLY hate.

Wow-Last boss in occ (whatever the dragon using instance is in coldara... not nexus but the other one... SHUT UP IM DRAWLING A BLANK)

Not that that boss is hard but i swear some people are so dumb its like impossible... WHAT?!? I HAVE TO PRESS 1.2.3.3.1.2.3.3.1.2.3.3. AND RUN OUT WHEN THE BEAM IS IN MY FACE?!?! TOO HARD TOO HARD

I know how you feel, that one was just horribel. And the snake woman was just a cake walk, draw her in with you Sorceres and use the thife to take out all the traps and then spam acid spels on her scale arse

My boss kinda sucks.

Dark Jay from X-Blades, actually anything from X-Blades..

Oh dear god, the final bosses from Cave story (Spoiler, although I guess that's implied)

Here are mine....
Dr. Willy/Light from Megaman 4. He was just unfairly impossible so I gave up trying tbh.
Meta Ridley on Hard mode on metroid Prime was pretty tough as was that freaky Sallazars bodyguard in Resi 4.

And yes Warboss Gutrip is indeed correct
Cruel brawl= Impossible

Some other one's I can remember.....

The Primagen from Turok 2.
You have to shoot his tiny little arms whilst on a platform that has no edge whilst he is flying around whilst you are trying to aim whilst it is glitching like there is no tomorrow. Oh and he regenerates his health. Just too hard in my opinion.

Those twin b*tches towards the end of Streets of rage. Brutally unfair when your playing just one player.

Also that guy with the mask on in Ninja Gaiden on the NES, he had homing fireballs and it was a matter of running up to him and mashing attack hoping you killed him before he killed you.

I have to say the worst game for me ever in scale of difficulty was Battle Toads. I never ever beat it and it was one the the few games I just walked away from. It started out pretty easy then went up to a hellish skill level hehe.

Good ol NEW games

I had battletoads on the Megadrive. Do you mean the one with the level on the hoverbike where you have to time your jumps or fall into the "balls"? Never completed it, impossible, evil game!

Yuxonimei or whatever her name is in Icewind dale- brutal. Traps, summoned monsters, and she is mean. If you've sold the wrong weapon she could END you as you flail ineffectually at her.

The Separatist ship at the end of Rebel Commando: Ok, get on a turret and shoot a still target that doesn't fire back to trigger the end of the game. :( Such a let down to an otherwise awesome game.

Jack of Blades from Fable. Took me 5 minutes to kill him. A dissaponting last boss.

Double Dragon, the guy with the gun.
Lifeforce, stage 2 boss.

Batman: Arkham Asylum. TITAN-enhanced Joker is an absolute pushover - I was really expecting something more for the last boss of the game. Easily the easiest boss fight in the game.

Jack 'I have undodgeable attacks' Krauser from Resident Evil 4. Man, this guy is annoying. It's so freaking hard to hit him when he's got his mutated arm up. The only way I've managed to beat him is by shooting the ground directly in front of his feet with the Striker so a few pellets glance his toes.

Duriel from Diablo II.

What the feth were the developers smoking when they thought of that? Was he some kind of April Fool's joke? How am I supposed to beat that bastard with my summoning Necromancer? What good are my mighty skeleton warriors when there are no bodies around and no way to leave the arena to find some?

And his Holy Freeze aura. Oh God, that was horrible. My barbarian didn't stand a chance. Neither did my poor paladin, even though I had level 10 Resist Cold and a shield with three normal sapphires in it.

Oh, i definately know the feeling i found that Durial was easiest to kill with the Amazon. Provided you had ample amounts of potions and you kept running around like a headless chicken. Oh and the poor mercenary would always die so quickly after a couple of times going back up to town he's not worth the trouble.

OMG Dude thats bad. I dont know what you did but Duriel for me was the easiest. I was a barb. I counted it seriously i did....12 hits and he was dead....i was lvl 28 didnt even need to use my [3] health pots. if anything i think diablo is the most assiest out of all of them. that is untill i found a weakness..hehehehe...get your fire and lightning resists to 75% and let that ass flame/lightning you all day long...hehehehe you dont even need 1 pot it's funny. although now i think on it a necro is screwed lol.

Well if you grind the hell out of the game and fight everything over-leveled by 10 levels or so, then yeah it'll be easy. When I played through as a summoning Necromancer, just to beat Duriel I HAD to get the decrepify curse to keep him from eating all my skeletons(thus removing my ability to damage him). The only way I could beat Diablo before the clay golem slowed enemies was to level to 30 and get a fire golem to tank Diablo. Without a fire golem, I wouldn't have a chance because the sonofaB would cast fire nova immediately after the fight started and kill all of my skeletons, then lightning inferno my golem and leave me alone.

I dont do that. Hows that grinding....fighting duriel at 28...i've had dudes lvl 35 and before act 5 and they struggled big time. it's not hard to get 75% resists... Anyway yes necros have such a hard time...i also had to get to lvl 30 for fire golem. You'll laugh though....My paladin (lvl 25-28 cant remember right now) died 20+ times lost most of my money doing it....he really does take the piss.

If you consider it a boss, rift worm from gears, sooo boring.
plus it wasn't interactive enough for me.

Wow: Black Knight is a F****** joke. As a hunter, my group put 300g down that me, the tank, and the healer couldn't beat him. We did, in 3 minutes Im MM wit a wasp.

Oblivion: Jygalag, the final boss in shivering isles is a joke. Ruin's Edge procced and I just stood over him railing on him with shadowrend, then running away and massacreing him, level 12 at the time. The guy that dropped the primal order sword was harder. Syl was insanely diffucult. Tried 17 times to do it. Then did godmode and just waded through everything. Took me like 4 hours just to do it still lol royal guards juggled me. Final boss, thing in original game. Not thar diffucult on my plate/dps/healer class like what 5 kaitiffs and bam I win? EAAAAZY mode, most "boss fights" in oblivion are waaay to easy on my sneaky argonian bloodrinker!

Mass effect the Matriarch lady took me and my pal 1 hour of switching on/off to understand why we were wiping. Killing her was easy, just shoot (overload? the shotgun explosive shot) ~1-2 times and bam choices!

Halo 2: The last boss, with 2 shotgun rounds and a full carbine with 1 plasma grenade was uber fun!

Dawn of war 2: Avatar was crazy gak hard, I mean it took me 6 hours one day just to have the PERFECT squad. Took me like 40+ tries. Thadius was doing like what, 2.5k a hit, leader was doing 1000, davian was pulling 2k in melle mode, and Avitus was plane and simple ownage at 2.8k. Thadius and Avitus both in termie armour. The Angel gate thing was a poisin joke >_<. I leveled up like 3 times there. Those 3 carnifaxes owned me and Avitus always bugged out and led the charge alogn with the rest of my ranged, while my CC units shot. Took me like 17 times to understand what the hell was going on. Last boss in DOWII was a joke, the chapter master took him on all by himself. The poisining of the nodes was waaaaaay harder, went in with a terrible squad makeup >_<

Gears of war II: the huge Hydra thing was a huge dissapoint in fun. The game saved to the point were my gun was already overheated and I had 1 swing lefr >_< till my reaver exploded, while the last boss and skourge was pathetically easy.

Oh, god the worst boss I had ever faced was the last boss of destroy all humans! She had like 50 of those giant robots and she could heal herself THREE times! It was impossible to beat her so I went to EB Games and got 10 bucks for it.

Elizabeth Greene in Prototype.

Holy gak... I mean, feth. The battle literally took me half an hour. The only effective way I found to fight her is to activate the Armour and Musclemass powers and run around her in a circle throwing cars at the tentacle things and trying to dodge the barrages of rocks and homing energy balls. When the Blackwatch came along I started hijacking tanks (which lasted about 30 seconds tops) and blasting away at the tentacles, and that worked pretty well as long as there were enough tanks spawning.

Then after the cutscene where Alex consumes her, it froze.

Bull-frickin'-horse-gak.

Tom Nook's only the one that's there incase something goes wrong, like Canairy M Burns in the Simpsons. The real evil in Animal Crossing is Mayor Tortimer
