10 Best Video Game Boss Battles Of The Decade
6. Senator Armstrong (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance)
This has got to be one of the most insane games ever made, and considering the pedigree of the people who made it, that's saying a lot. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance couldn't be any more different in tone, characterization, and definitely SCALE from its mainline series, Metal Gear Solid, but unlike Metal Gear Survive there's an actually great game here so it hardly matters.
And the culmination of all of this is Senator Armstrong, or as I like to call him, what every Republican WISHES they were. This bottomlessly corrupt and physically unstoppable U.S Senator has been messing with Raiden throughout the entire game, and has left him staring helplessly down a future of nuclear war for the sake of - ironically - making the world better in the long run.
But Raiden's mama didn't raise no quitter, he has a mission, he has a goal, he has a REALLY big sword. And all the righteous fury needed to use it. The battle is one of the most intense and insane bosses that Platinum games has ever put out, and mind you, this is the company that ended Bayonetta with you throwing GOD into the sun and cremating her.
It'll take every skill you've learned and a good amount of luck, but like all great final bosses, it feels so damn good when you win.
