These Video Game Final Boss Battles SUCK!

Oh Peter Molyneux, you really are a silver-tongued devil spouting fools gold, aren't you? I've covered old Stinky Pete a fair few times on this channel, especially his machiavellian panto-esque promos which promise the world and yet end up delivering Weston-Super-Mare, but nothing will be as comical and as tragic as Fable 2's final boss battle with Lucien.

To even call this a battle is like calling sticking your head into a lawnmower and calling it a "haircut", as while technically it fulfils this role both end up being an absolute bloody mess. In this scenario, you finally come face to face with the man who ruined your life, Lucien master of The Spire and all-around dirtbag. He's syphoning off the power from your friends and allies and now you're ready to enact vengeance.

So quiz time. How do you think this boss battle goes down?

A- A Giant climactic encounter with super-powered heroes smashing chunks out of the planet?

or

B - You shoot him once in the face while he monologues and does nothing to protect himself other than grunt in a really weird manner like the voice over artist was being stroked off behind the scenes?

Oh, you best believe it was B. Now there are actually defenders of this boss battle believe it or not, with people saying that it's fitting he died with one shot from a pistol seeing as this was the fate he levelled upon you in the opening as a child, but even if this was the case, let me ask you.

Did that make it a fun boss battle? OF COURSE NOT.

Peter, I know you were keen on boiling down Fable 2's combat to being on just one button, but this is taking it a bit too far, right?
