8 Video Game Boss Fights You CAN'T LOSE

6. Professor Nakayama - Borderlands 2

Poor old Professor Nakayama, not only is he an absolutely woeful boss battle with precisely zero challenge placing him amongst the pantheon of pathetic bosses alongside Bob The Killer Goldfish and General Scales from Star Fox Adventures but he's somehow gotten an even worse end of the stick as his placement within the almighty Borderlands 2 places an unhealthy weight of expectation on the encounter.

After all, this is the game that truly put Borderlands into the mainstream with enough force that made even Mr. Torque sweat, and thanks to selling incredibly well, the DLC expansions might as well have come with nibble marks for how keen gamers were to ingest the new content.

Therefore when Hammerlocks Hunt set up Nakayama as a secondary antagonist and posited that his intellect and skill with robotics would come to shoot and then punch you in the face, we Vault Hunters were ready to polish that dome with the butt of our guns.

And then he fell down the stairs and died. Oh. Well, this is rather awkward.

So let's pour one out, and by that I mean point and laugh at Nakayama who did himself dirty before the player could even raise their guns.
