19 Most Laughably Unfair Video Game Bosses Of All Time

19. Resident Evil Code: Veronica - Tyrant

Hollywood missed a trick when they made B-movie tribute, Snakes On A Plane. They should have made Really P****ed Off Tyrant On A Plane instead. Now that would have sold tickets. In your attempt to escape the imminent destruction of Rockfort Island as Claire Redfield, you'll happen upon this jolly fellow, who's been released specifically to kill you at the behest of crazed cross dresser, Alfred Ashford. A few well-placed grenade rounds will down him post-haste, but it doesn't kill him. Nope. Fast-forward to your actual escape on some rusty, piece of crap sea plane, and it becomes readily apparent that you have some unwanted cargo in the form of a giant, naked Tyrant. Why it's unfair: For starters, you're stuck in a ridiculously small arena (the cargo hold of the plane) with practically zero wiggle room to evade the Tyrant's attacks. That wouldn't be so bad on its own, but you've also got the old-school tank controls of past Resi games to contend with. Worst of all though, is the fact that if you don't have enough ammo to weaken the Tyrant - and therefore push him out of the plane with the cargo lift - you're straight out of luck. Once you're in the plane, you're there for good. So if you didn't bring enough ammo with you to wear the mutant down, you basically have no choice but to restart from an earlier save or the beginning entirely.
