Quintus 5,399 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The dragon at the end of Metroid Prime, it was the penultimate boss. I never did beat that game and it's the only time I ever got truly stuck in a video game. Forever annoyingly, it had to happen right at the end of one of the best games I ever played.

I'm sure how easy or hard he is depends on what equipment you bring in. I was too stubborn to go out and get a bunch of stuff and come back, I just tried repeatedly until I beat him with what I had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,370 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Recently, one of the Valkyries from God of War. And I didn't even mean to fight her, I got lost, entered her tomb and then suddenly the only way of getting out was defeating her. So I've spent the next 2 hours having my butt kicked by her until I knew all her moves, what to do to avoid them, and managed to defeat her. There's probably harder Valkyries hidden, but I got so traumatized that I never want to come anywhere close to them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to leave things unfinished .But I wanted to beat the other ones too! but Sigrun was pretty epic. I had accidentally used all my rage and didn't manage to finish her off. I had little health left but I lasted about 2 minutes of dodging her attach waiting for my spells to come back from cool down.. she grabbed me and I almost died and got a lucky healing sphere from Atreus.Then I dodged her divebomb and nailed here with the frost lazer.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Not really a boss battle, but as I mentioned in the VG thread, I beat COD: World At War on Veteran. The final level with a constant cloud of grenades over you and infinite enemy monster closets was a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this post, so long ago, I have restarted this game for the fourth time, and I am amending my statement to say "Lynel." It may not be a boss, but it is harder than any boss in the game.

Edmilson 7,370 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My gosh, Malicos from Fallen Order was so fucking hard to beat. I spent about 2h trying to kill the guy. The main problem is that he keeps getting some insane new combos the more the fight progress. As you grow closer to kill him, he gets new powerful combos, for which you aren't prepared, so you ended up being killed and having to start the whole fight from scratch again. You can only beat him if you master precise lightsaber moves, so you can defend yourself and counter-attack, but even when you're already repelling all his moves, he comes up with a new combo that almost annihilates you if you get hit.

King Mark 3,624 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Actually the hardest battle was the end of Half Life2 Episode 2, where you had to drive around in a car to take down all the tripods. I nearly lost my mind doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I couldn't progress far in Half-Life 2. Sometimes even simple ladders and platform jumps into awkward areas just made me give up. I didn't enjoy 2 as much as 1 anyway. What made the first one so good was it was set in an Area 51-like subterranean military base and you were fighting monsters and marines on your own within that setting. The city setting in 2 lost all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I actually found Half-Life 2's difficulty to be cheap and its AI combatants disappointingly simplistic. I've played much much harder shooters than it (Halo's heroic and legendary settings absolutely blow it away in challenge). It's a testament to that game's other qualities though that it is still considered a great videogame. I'll probably play the first game's remake soon. And the recent VR one on PS5.

King Mark 3,624 Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Some of the hardest batteles in JRPG's are often in post game contents I mentionned before Etheral Queen in Star Ocean The Last Hope. Before you reach her you had to go through the "Wandering Dungeon" ,a 20 floor randomly generated dungeon with a boss on each floor. There was NO save point in the entire thing and it took about 3 hours to get to the last floor. Took me a week to beat it and I only reached the last floor 3 times. https://starocean.fandom.com/wiki/Wandering_Dungeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think it’s likely that Alyx will get a port? I’d love to play it but the way they marketed the game made it seem “too advanced” for PS VR.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 This current gen of PSVR, definitely too advanced. PSVR 2.0 though, along with the PS5... a different kettle of fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Horsepower wise it's actually not that high end relative to the PC gaming market. Plenty of mid range gaming PCs can run the game perfectly well. The VR SKU used is the main determiner for the quality of the experience, and there's around five to choose from.
