How to make a great boss fight

This is a plea to game developers around the globe. We understand you want to put some boss fights in your game. They can be a lot of fun, those epic battles with the most ferocious of foes. But there are some things we’d like you to consider – some things that could help you create a boss fight that’ll leave us in awe, rather than banging our heads against the monitor in frustration. So here, dear developer, is a list of boss fight dos and don’ts. Ignore them at your peril.[Lewis Denby}

Good list, although I though Poison Ivy was really easy. I beat her on my first try, I don't know any of my friends who had trouble with her.

CobraKai5501d ago

I agree she wasn't that hard. What I did like about her was that she felt old school. Like back in the 16-bit days where you had to learn patterns in order to beat her while fending off baddies.

*SPOILERS IN THE ARTICLE*

Heads up to the people who have yet to finish Bioshock, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Half-Life, or Portal.

SeraphimBlade5501d ago

The people who haven't played those yet kind of have it coming.

not that challenging or should i say poorly designed.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit37d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing37d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9236d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
