10 Boss Fights That Stopped Video Games Being Perfect

Even though Resident Evil made a name for itself for popularising horror in gaming, the third outing dialled the fear factor up to 11 with the introduction of Nemesis.

While you battle zombies and collect weirdly shaped keys, this undead hulk will burst onto the scene every chance he gets to hamper your quest. Due to his ferocious speed, devastating attacks, and apparent immortality, you can't help feeling dread when you hear this monster trudging towards you.

But another element which helped Nemesis stand out is how the player is often given a choice how to take him on.

Will you jump off a bridge to evade the colossal zombie or shove him off? Will you stand and fight or seek shelter in a nearby building? This was a neat idea since it encouraged multiple playthroughs, so players could to experience every aspect of the game.

Sadly, this element took a step backwards in RE3 Remake. Even though Nemesis has never looked more badass, every encounter with the zombie powerhouse is just a straightforward battle. Because fans already got the same experience with fighting Mr. X in RE2 Remake, you'd assume the developers would've given the Nemesis fights more variety.

Instead, all we got was a Mr. X reskin.
