12 Most Difficult Gaming Moments Of 2013

6. Deathstroke - Batman: Arkham Origins

At once the best and most challenging boss in Batman: Arkham Origins, Deathstroke is a workout for your dexterity, and will be a testament to your reflexes. Key to the battle is that defense rather than offense is what will beat him - you have to counter his attacks, give him a quick pummel, rinse and repeat until you can administer a beatdown and start draining his health. Due to the speed of the battle, however, it's not as easy as it sounds, and even failing to avoid countering just a few of Deathstroke's attacks will knock your health away very quickly. Other issues include some of Deathstroke's seemingly un-counterable moves, and the lightning-fast reflexes you'll need to avoid things like explosive barrels hurled your way. Still, persist with the countering and you should be able to eventually defeat him, though going by the amount of complaining on message boards, it'll probably take you a little while.
