9 Incredible Video Game Bosses You Never Got To Fight

For most of the way through Bioshock, you are hunting down Andrew Ryan. Truly, an intelligent and formidable foe to be reckoned with.

As you come closer and closer to finding Ryan’s Rapture Central Control, it certainly seems like the game is deliberately preparing you for a tough boss battle by placing tonnes of ammo and med kits in the lead-up to Ryan’s “boss room”, a telling sign in most video games that we are about to be in dire need of these items.

But it turns out, we don’t actually need any of them at all.

Before we have a chance to do anything, Ryan ends up committing suicide by forcing you - his brainwashed illegitimate son - to savagely beat him with a golf club.

All of this is done in a non-interactive cutscene to demonstrate just how much you, just like Jack, are completely hopeless and this whole situation is entirely out of your control.

Yes, I get the whole point was to hammer home you had no agency in the altercation, but COME ON, it's the dude behind one of the most iconic locations in gaming history.
