9. Top Man – Mega Man 3
Granted, it won’t be a massive surprise to many Mega Man fans to see any of the games appearing in this list, because they’ve always had boss fights that are, for better and for worse, a little on the weird side. This reaches an almost unbearable apex for even hardcore fans of the series when facing off against the ludcriously-monikered Top Man, who spends most of the level spinning around a lot and firing objects at you. Strangely for a Mega Man game, he doesn’t appear to have an obvious weakness you have to seek out for victory, also making him one of the easiest bosses in the entire history of the series; in fact, it’s so easy you’ll almost be thinking the game is tricking you, setting you up for a fall when Top Man suddenly kills you or something.
But alas, that’s not the case; he’s just a ridiculously easy, oddly simplistic boss, and you get rewarded with one of the oddest weapons in gaming history; the Top Spin (which is activated by jumping and spinning around).

Hey what about the boss at the end of Fallout 3. All you had to do is either talk him down or shoot him
That’s a common thing in Fallout games. Only shows how multi faced the games are, you don’t even need to fight to win.
The bosses in Deus Ex HR completely ruined the experience for me. I had to constantly save and load in order to beat them. Really frustrating.
Could not agree any more with how broken the boss battles are in Deus Ex.You think that having different paths on how to achieve the missions would transfer on the boss battles being more than just one way to beat them. With Fallout 3 I don’t know what I was expecting but I thought after going though that massive battle to take the Jefferson Memorial madebe the leader would a lest be in body armor and carry a better weapon.
Add any pokemon game
Couldn’t agree more on Arkham Asylam, Killer Croc was built up so much from the walking ‘intro’ to the game and to defeat him with a few batarangs whilst collecting spore samples was a real let down. The Joker finale was not only disappointing in terms of how it was executed but also it goes totally against who The Joker is and how he would want to defeat Batman. The only slight positive on that front is that is served a major plot point for Arkham City (but somehow i think this story could still have been achieve some other way)
I remember final boss in Final Fantasy X-2 was a huge mistake
Especially Yevon! I mean, the little freak is weak against zombification.
Auron > zombiestrike
someone else > Phoenix Down, that’s it.
and you had infinite auto-life, really?
I think, the pain (MGS3, the one with the bees) was a very uninteresting boss battle, Each time you were about to get hit you had to go underwater, waiting for the bees to dissipate. Made a really tiresome boss battle.
Id like to bring in the bad guy in Halo 4, I thought he would be a total badass, as he comes out towards the start of the game, but later on hes killed off…
