10 Video Game Fights Developers Didn’t Want You To Win

10. Gabriel - Shin Megami Tensei I

Do you like super annoying boss fights? Want a boss battle that can be an hour long? Have you ever wanted to fight someone who is almost totally impervious to all your attacks?

If you're masochistic enough to somehow say yes to all of these, then congrats! The final fight of the chaos route in Shin Megami Tensei is literally made for you.

If you said no, then that's simply unfortunate, because Gabriel is the last boss in the game - and if there's one thing more painful than the boss fight, it's knowing that you left a game unfinished with one fight remaining.

Although you'd be forgiven for doing so, because Gabriel is purposefully frustrating to try and beat. He's immune to physical attacks, including your sword attacks - so the majority of your ability to do damage is nixed right there. Crucially, it also means your main character can't do anything, and will have to sit around being hit in the face while everyone else tries to whittle his health down.
