I've got nothing to really base this on, but I always figured the Adjudicator was actually the bird "piloting" the chonk, kind of like a mech.
Me too. Vaati vidya maybe?
That's exactly what it is. The demon controlling it obviously took an old heroes body, y'know seeing as SOS is where the old heroes were all buried , possessed it and the actual adjudicator itself is trapped at the top of a rotting, demon possessed corpse. pretty obvious stuff imo but then again, I play those games way too much.
Well yeah, i'm pretty sure it's like a parasite that controls a big corpse so you're technically fighting the bird but can only reach it if the body falls over.
Also I don't know how the sword sticking out of its gut could confuse him, the implication is obviously that before you showed up it had fought with someone else who stuck it there and injured it's otherwise super tough skin, pretty much suggesting that they were stronger than you because if you don't smack the wound it's basically immune to your attacks.
LoL @ the Chonk
@@DajuOnCZcams Pure conjecture as I'm yet to play Demon's Souls but couldn't the sword in the gut indicate that the bird took control of a deceased body? Or is there something in the lore to dispute that?
Alright, Demon's Souls is one of my favorite games of all time and since I can't find any other comments about it I'll explain the Adjudicator.
To start with, it's important to note the level in which you find it and what went on there. The Shrine of Storms was a place where the tribe of Shadowmen conducted rituals by which they would more or less "process" the souls of the dead and then use those souls as an offering to their deity - The Storm King. Each boss in the world was a key figure in this "soul processing" ritual.
To start with before explaining its role, the Adjudicator is not the big fat man. The Adjudicator is the crow itself. The big fat man is just a flesh puppet prepared for it so it could do it's duties. That duty being to examine new bodies brought to shrine and judge whether they were worthy sacrifices for the Storm King or not. Those that were deemed worthy were passed on to be offered to the Storm Ruler at the shrine below, while those that were deemed unworthy were eaten by the Adjudicator as a form of ritual cleansing, making sure that both the body and soul of the deceased were safely dealt with rather than being allowed to roam as vengeful spirits. That's why the Adjudicator's body wields meat cleavers that steal the life from enemies they hit, it's designed to consume both body and soul of those it devours.
This ultimately turned the Adjudicator into a Demon, since in the world of Demon's Souls a "demon" is any being that is able to gain power by absorbing the souls of others into its own being. When the Shadowmen died out the Adjudicator lost its purpose as a being of judgement and instead devolved into one of gluttony and greed, consuming anything that came into it's reach rather than doing it's duty judiciously.
Cool story bro. I never would have looked into this.
Kudos for taking the time to explain, i always enjoyed spamming arrows at that lil bird’s head during the fight
Great, now dying to him is permadeath in my head canon. Lol
I never played Demon Souls, but it's interesting you said they did rituals to 'The Storm King' as that's a character from the lore but doesn't actually appear, in Elden Ring. I wonder if they could be related, FromSoft do like to cross characters over like Patches, Irina etc
@@reluctantsocialist2670 isn't there a storm king in dark souls 3? The drake thing nameless king rides is called that too I think.
The huge Hermit from Metal Slug is, as far as I know, one of the crustaceans mutated by the laboratory present on the island. The Revolutionary Army found them and they just equipped the Hermit with all those guns and trained it as base defense, hence it chases you across this (suspiciously infinite) pier.
Love and appreciate u guys! I've been watching u guys for years now and I always am impressed with the fact you hardly ever repeat entry's unlike other channels. you guys never take the easy way out!! Much love for much effort!
Thanks. It's a team effort.
Yeah, what he said.
So true. It’s a reason why they are the best game content channels
@@gameranxTV y’all hiring? Lol
yeah right, they might bring in the same game every now & then but never talk about the same details as before
For the ff7 one you can always just assume that it's powered by some type of Materia and that it flies through it's magical properties.
Also it's meant to clear tunnels of pests
In the FF7 remake it just kinda flies around at first almost like it's just waiting to keep working and all of a sudden catches a triple slash to the face, rough life
remake ff7 actually gave some good explanations for many of the monsters mostly the robots. The Robots they serve matance and security purposes for the most part. but they double as pest control.. the pests being the eldritch horrors the harvesting of the life stream creates. Disturbingly enough after the fall of the plate. you can see horrifying things making their way threw the hole above sector 7 while you're climbing to the shinra building. Its blink and you miss it. But there is some HUGE nightmareish things descending on midgar. The monsters around midgar are basicly Stalker/fallout mutants.
Yep, "because magic" the ultimate McGuffin
Swordipede would work great as a forgotten relic in Subnautica, lurking somewhere on the ocean floor
Shh... They might hear you and add it to Subnautica 3 😱
@@Joreel Subnautica 3..stranded on a water park planet and subjected to submechanophobia.
That would be awesome!
Any boss that summons minions for you to get your health and MP back from.
And ammo, don't forget they drop ammo as well. I've "oh shit-ed" my way through a couple bosses where I realized I ran out of ammo too soon and they were like "oh, did da widdle baby wun outta ammo? Here, melee these guys, dumbass!" And I was like "uh... thanks, I guess?"
“Yeah, it’s nuts!” Actually, nuts are the one thing Mara doesn’t have, if we’re aiming for preciseness, here.
Yes it does. They r resting behind the wheels
Or maybe they just couldn't be so outright about it so the wheels are placeholders for nuts. So people who get it get it
@@JinYo265 no no. If u look at the 3D model of Mara u can see the testicles resting behind the wheels...scrotum and all
Preciseness also known as precision
Wario World does have weird looking bosses
Considering you only ever fight the Swordipede in Hojo's lab, I'd say it was a failed design prototype that he probably requisitioned as additional security. The bizarreness would probably appeal to him.
They picked this over the killer house so my faith in this list is already gone.
@Baxi Spellcheck bruv.
I thought it was pretty cool they way they were able to bring in enemies like this. I wouldn't necessarily say the Swordipede was jarring, at least not in a negative sense.
@@evanbelton1297 The planet itself created like 8 nukes upon Jenova's arrival. And still failed. There are god level threats on the planet and it itself is one. Maybe sword fish isn't to out of place.
"how it fly tho" Like literally everything else that flies using magic mixed with bio-engineering on this planet. Even the shit the planet itself made flies like that.
@@ChronicSkooma Exactly. Every Weapon was created by the planet/life stream in self-defense, and they look like giant mechs. Also when you think about it, Shinra should have little to no control. People can literally summon electricity on command with the Bolt spell, not to mention Ramuh. Granted, this is all tied to materia and the life stream. But I suppose that serves a social commentary for major corporations.
You knows it’s gonna be a good video when falcon is hosting it
Jinpachi's demonic form from Tekken 5 used to scare the crap out of me.
Mara actually makes a lot of sense. In the Persona games, enemy Shadows are manifestations of people's repressed emotions, including sins such as lust.
That's why other enemies include a big mouth (Gluttony), a golden knight on horseback (Pride) and various creatures wearing barely any clothes (Lust).
every demon in the SMT series is based off a mythological creature/person. Mara was based in sri lankan buddhism and was sometimes depicted with a penor growing out of his head. Buddist mythology was really into phallic representation. You should look up the korean folklore of where the common cold came from.
first time i seen Mara in the Shin/Persona games i was like its just a dick LOL still cant believe they got away with that
To add onto what taylor w said, mara is the demon that is supposed to have tempted buddha, and failed to sway him to earthly pleasure. As well, they explain in one of the games that the shadows appear as gods/demons because they are a manifestation of human consciousness, and humans have worshiped stuff as long as human have existed. For the out of game reason, it is probably that having a character to base something on makes the design much easier then coming up with hundreds of new, unique characters with story and consistent design.
@@Gamerboi99 Mara's name is also very similar to an old Japanese slang word for penis.
The name comes from a buddhist demon, yes, but the visual design is based on the fact that its name also means penis in Japanese. This is taken one step further by having it resemble a wheeled shrine, possibly a reference to the Kanamara penis festival.
Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising will always be my most WTF Boss in gaming. lol
Nano Machine’s Son!
As a guy who beat the game 3 times (I LOVE THAT GAME). "The winter Winster" is the biggest WTF in the entire game.
NOTE: You also fight a female croc in a two sexy two-piece, A chess piece, a bodybuilder bull in a speedo, and a military-grade spider (Trust me: I'm not high right now).
Also, can we PLEASE get another Wario world!? That game was too good.
In the 1987 Star Wars game you fight Darth Vader very early in the game. Except after one hit that "Darth Vader" turns into a scorpion that you then have to fight
My actual boss needs an explanation too.
😅
For me, Genji: Days of the Blade on PS3 had the most outrageous/insane boss I've ever fought against. The final boss was Amahagane & Mashogane combined and it created this nearly 2 hour slog of pain I will never forget.
👍🏼
What about the egg from Burgertime? That thing was brutal until you busted out your huge pepper shaker! 🍔 🥚 🫑
@@gameranxTV dad is that u?
Genji great
For the first one; if the sword blades can rotate 360 degrees, it could use that like a propeller. Wouldn't really explain how it got off the ground, but baby steps. Now, if they didn't put that in, they could add it in a patch and it would be the wind up to an AOE attack. Just a thought.
The adjudicator may be an awkward attempt at a deadly sin; Greed. If it's a shrine guardian meant to test the demon slayers and they fail so he eats them it could be a combo with pride. Both would explain his greater mass; the no head could be a blind point as in he doesn't see how greedy he really is - so it would also be an inverse criticism of his own flaws. Which as much as they've been the downfall of those before you, will also be his. Thinking just one more and I'll be strong enough... Then your MC comes along and, nope! I could also be entirely wrong and it's just some Dev with all the Lulz.
As far as the contra entry - there are a lot of Devs that end up in the family way during development. I'd argue abstract expression of internalized fears due to impending parenthood and how many things cannot be controlled in the process, that can go wrong. But again, I don't get paid as that guy/girl's psychotherapist. I'd probably be much better off if I did though. (I'd hate to see that bill; it'd make me jealous)
7 - copious amounts of LSD. That's all I got. How else would you make a hermit crab feel ten feet tall? o. O maybe we should just ask Alice? But then raccoons might get involved...
I think the harder you look at the rest; the closer you get to the abyss. So I throw my hands up. I don't think you're supposed to look for an explanation for some of these Devs' ideas.
Probably safer for your own sanity that way.
😅👍🏼
I think you may be on to something (or possibly ON something). LSD, 'shrooms, real good ganja... sometimes you need a break that a KitKat won't provide, unless it's laced with copious amounts of cocaine or other various stimulants.
Lack of sleep, however, seems like the most logical explanation. I've seen stuff, unexplainable stuff, due to my inability to sleep properly. Mix that in with massive amounts of stress and coffee, or other simulants, and you got yourself a cocktail of commotion for the brain. Those devs put up with way more than they should!
i thought this was vaatividya
Most ridiculous boss ever, is my boss at work
😂
I did NOT expect this awesome joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 well done 👏🫵
Man, The psycho mantis controller slot swap thing in MGS1 stands out to me.
i think that these surreal bosses are my favorite part about these games, they need more of these
That boss in Kingdom Hearts used to have me HOT back in the day 😂 I never played a Final Fantasy game then so I had no idea why that thing looked the way it did nor why it was so many steps to beating it
I feel you bruh never played ff b4 then either
8:54 One correction: The F-6t Big Foot is actually piloted by a GUN Scorpion Troop, not Dr. Eggman.
Another Ridiculous Boss from the Sonic series that I remember is the Egg Dealer from Shadow The Hedgehog: A pilotable machine with slot machines reels that if player knows when to attack, the attacks will be directed to the machine itself.
I played shadow the hedgehog ad I can confirm that boss is weird
The weirdest i've ever seen is Rokkaku Goji in JSRF. I mean, he starts the game off as a businessman and ends as some kind of interdimensional robot. Who built him, was there ever a real Goji or was it always the robot, and how is he able to construct a massive mind-control tower/interdimensional portal in the middle of the shibuya bus terminal without either the Japanese government or some other organization taking notice and stopping him? Just, some kind of explanation as to what this guy was would have been greatly appreciated.
Yep jet set radio was just as weird
You fight atop of a building sized turntable with go go cages for needles and the bad guy in a DJ booth in the centre
on top of a skyscraper
with Rino heads on forks tea baging up and down in the background while huge speakers blast out a very ominous track
While you get set on fire by a giant fire breathing Rino in a tee shirt that flys around between buildings
That explodes after taging three roof tops connected by huge rotating cams or arms
Who's dismembered body parts make a ramp to grind up and tag the big bad guy DJ who is in the centre of the turntable who instantly falls off the roof top into the abyss
And all this is because of an Indy record called the devil's contract that's not even supernatural
I think that's about it 🤣
@@bluejayfabrications2216 HA! I'll have to take your word for it, i never played the original, but i have no problems believing that.
I have no idea what you’re talking about, but from your description and how you’re talk about it I can tell it was one of the most bizarre shit in gaming history.
Recently came back to this because I remembered a really out of there boss. In the game Radiata Stories, a JRPG for the PS2, there is a boss in the secret dungeon that is just completely out of place. So the dungeon is themed on the different elements of the game Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. At the end of each section you fight an elemental dragon. When you beat all four you unlock a new path which leads you to a 'hidden' dragon. At first you may think it is the Silver Dragon or maybe the Gold Dragon, it is neither. You find Radian. Radian is a 2D dragon that literally was created by a child. It is also one of the harder bosses of the game. It has belly flop attacks and attacks with speech bubbles. Radiata Stories isn't necessarily a serious game but this is one of the fights that really came out of left field. I will also mention the Gabriel boss fight in a later hidden dungeon but that is more awkward than batshit insane.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Monster Party for the NES. Except it's not just the bosses, but the entire game itself is an unexplained wtf.
You fight a dancing jack o lantern, a well, a minotaur that shoots running cows at you, an already dead dinosaur with flies buzzing around that immediately gives you the reward, a giant deep fried shrimp that just hops around.
That's just the bosses I remember, but also the levels, enemies, story and ending are all massive WTFs
If you want to do regular enemies, Anvil of Dawn pretty much needs an entry all to itself: Giant apes that collapse into body parts when you defeat them, bloodless and melted corpses trying to beat you to death with their own bones (the blood is also up walking around trying to kill you), and baby heads with spider-legs that lash you with their acidic tongues
The guardian ape, once it’s head is off it’s the headless ape, WTF lol 😂
Sonic 1's final boss definitely wasn't that memorable as say, the Death Egg Robot, Metal Sonic from Heroes, Egg dragoon from Unleashed, or pretty much every other boss in the series. But it was the 1st game, so I'm thankful the bosses got better with each game.
Sonic's 1 first boss fight is more memorable than the final one XD
I've literally never heard of the Statue Of Liberty boss fight until now. That's amazing!
And speaking of phallic boss battles. I can't help but to think of Scrotus Scabbus from Mad Max....who should have also been on this list
Dark souls fan: no, wait, these bosses are fully explained with the lore you missed on 234 items lying in 20 different locations that totally described them with one-sentenced abstract poetry
Get this man a pinned comment!
I think the final boss (God of Destruction) from an old game called "Legend of Dragoon" is without a doubt the most confusing boss design I've ever encountered...in terms of looks, the mechanics of the fight, and even the location(s?) where the fight takes place.
To explain the details would take a lot of writing, but there are so many strange things about that final boss that come out of nowhere, make 0 sense, and never get any explanation. I don't think the devs even knew wtf they were trying to do with that one lol.
He's remaking the universe lol it's batshit, but it is explained, also on the Persona 5 dick, that's also pretty easy to get, again it's still batshit, but the battiness is one of the things I love about those games haha.
@@nerdrocker89 Where does the game say he's remaking the universe? I've beat it like 8 times, and never found any explanation for the boss changing forms/scenery 4x, nor any explanation for what the various "generations" are, why they're changing, or what that even means.
@@themetalone7739 it's discussed throughout the game the big bad's desires to remake the universe in their own image. I could be remembering it wrong since I haven't played it since I played it over 20 years ago.
@@alwaysxnever Melbu Frahma's goal was to release the God of Destruction so it could destroy the world, which could then be remade in whatever way the villain wanted.
Immediately after the fight, the entire party AND boss are suddenly shown in the normal world (which would be impossible if the villain just remade the universe/world) followed by the boss exploding while everyone else rushes out of the fallen moon before it blows up. We are then treated to cut-scenes showing the heroes returning home, and their "happily ever after" moments, which also couldn't happen if the world had been remade in the villain's image.
It's more like the boss is trying to show us something during the fight, maybe flashbacks of the development of the world, but even that doesn't quite make sense, in context.
@@themetalone7739 They explain the moon has weird properties in the game, it makes as much sense as ff7's supernova move, so none lol.
I love when boss designs don't make sense yet just works. It feels more like a fantasy game at that point.
Some of the Castlevania bosses over the years have been completely bonkers. Especially when the final form of Dracula has him turn into some kind of weird trippy alien that takes up the whole screen.
> Mentions Mario Odyssey
> Doesn't discuss that Mario fights a legitimately normal dragon
At 4:20 into this video, I felt so old b/c I remember playing Metal Slug 3 & being not only very confused but also very frustrated with the giant hermit crab tank thing haha.
Admittedly this might be a bit of a nitpick on my part, but considering where you encounter the swordipede seems more likely to be one of Hojos creations which likely means it's mako and/or biotech based one way or another, and having played most of the 7 series, yea lol not the craziest thing Hojos done/made. You could look at Hojo as "Shin-ra" but if you really follow the story hojo was always about his agenda, he even openly mocks the Shin-ra execs. That said, love you guys keep up the awesome work Falcon
"They make a good point of showing that ff7 takes place in a realistic setting."
You can summon a half naked woman who shoots ice
😂
What, you don't shoot ice when you're half naked as well? It's just me, then.
Thank you so much for including dumb drum. Haha I have forgot about that boss. So ridiculous
Looking at Swordipede, I'd argue it's used for mining/lumber! Maybe it's light anti-grav, or perhaps some sort of helium/light gas in each of the central components... *think, muse, ponder*
Great video! Was hoping to see the final boss in Mass Effect 2. Great final mission, but weird boss that kinda belittles the story
I missed the "Hip Hop Boss" from "Skullmonkeys" ! :D
A Hip Hop Head with a Skull on his Head shooting fire and his eyes at you with monkey feeds and sounds :D
I really liked the last boss for Kingdom Hearts 1. It was really fun to me and was just wild.
I always found the fight against Palmer in FF7 kinda weird.
You have fought gigantic beasts and killer robots up to that point and now here is a old, chubby, politician with a weird gun for a boss.
Okay then...
Every video can’t be a winner, but I appreciate the effort y’all put into new videos.
Not that the whole game isn't weird and almost entirely inexplicable without the help of a wiki, Nier: Automata has an...interesting...final boss: the ending credits. At the end of the game you are in an Atari Asteroids-style shmup where you are fighting glowing orbs made out of the credited team names. More interesting still is that you can request the assistance of other players who have sacrificed their save games, then leaving you with the option to do the same.
yep. also the final bosses from Drakengard-1. it's uuugh. something you should see
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest also had Kleever, the floating sword.
The first thing that popped in my mind was Cerberus from Dante's Inferno. Cerberus is usually a three headed dog in mythology. But this is some sort of three headed creature that has giant mouths with huge teeth and no resemblance to a dog at all. Also where it should have eyes, it just has more small mouths. So yeah, that was weird. In a game full of some pretty weird bosses.
Metal Slug will be forever the definitive shoot-em up game for me. Me and my brothers played the heck out of these games and the wacky tone of it is a major part of it.
The boss Vicus from Clive Barker's Jericho is fkn wild
Why don’t people talk about that game anymore?
The Adjudicator might be an Inu Yasha reference if I am not completely mistaken. There also was a bird demon nesting inside a giant's corpse relatively at the beginning of the series.
FromSoftware games had many bosses I couldn't believe when first seeing them:
Centipede Demon (DS1): Giant Demon with huge centipedes as it's head, arms, and legs.
Demon of Song (DS2): Singing frog with human skull under it's face
Curse-Rotted Greatwood(DS3): A tree with limbs
Fire Giant (Elden Ring): Red head giant with a cyclops face on it's belly that can vomit lava.
With the FF7 stuff, I mean for all that we know the machines could be powered by some unique materia. The world of the game might feel real, but they have something we don't, magic.
Persona 1 for some reason has a giant robot rat with machine guns called Tesso. Like it's a game about dreams and demons in a modern Japanese city. Yet the high school students end up fighting a RoboRat in the sewers. It even has its own ridiculous theme song with meows and car honks.
😅👍🏼
I can’t believe you included Winter Windster 😭😭 literally the first boss that came to mind when I clicked on this video
I'm happy they mentioned one of my favorites childhood arcade shooters
After Gears 5, pretty much every Locust boss needs explaining. They like, lab created locust I guess? Brumak? Leviathan?
this may sound a little random, but i like how the huge hermit is not only considered the strangest boss in metal slug, but ever since their collaboration with battle cats has been considered the single worst uber super rare unit in the entire game.
The persona boss had me laughing when you accordingly said yeah it's nuts. 🤣🤣
The idea of why the swordipede is a thing, can be discovered in the game. The original and remake
Shinra isn't just a modern day weapons development/power company.
Research and development (ran by Hojo. The immoral Baby Daddy scientist), has been experimenting on the lifestreams energy as well as the calamity known as Jenova. Yielding machines like these, as well as some of the monsters throughout FFVII
It's....one of the essential revelations in the entire story 😅🤌🏾
Strikers 1945 bosses are the weirdest that I've personally played
I always play gameranx video and sleep. It's a habit and I can't sleep without listening to falcon's voice.
I really love seeing bosses like this
👌🏼👍🏼
Imagine the Swordipede heading towards a building and just ripping it to shreds just by moving through it… it’s an awesome design that you are overlooking by acknowledging some dislikes about it
At least Mara was in a game that was about fighting abstractions of peoples' inner demons inside a dream world. Within that framework, nothing is really out of bounds no matter how batshit.
Glad to have you back Frank. Missed you!
I’m glad to see Metal Slug 3 get a shoutout ❤️🥺 brings back a lot of memories
The metal slug sprite work and animation are phenomenal
🤩
Should see how he looks in original Demons Souls 😝 and the squeaky sound he makes lol 😅
The fact that you mentioned Seaman...
I still play that game to this very day....
I don't know why tho 😂
R&C: Going Commando had a secret boss that was like a giant grab which floated around slime. Maybe not super weird but for the Insomniac style it is.
that was such a huge momentfor me when I found that boss when I was a kid
Maybe not as crazy as the bosses here, but I still think the final area/boss from the original Kings Field is a pretty shocking one. The game takes place within the souls universe, which could explain any wackiness TBH, but at the end you randomly end up in this weird cyberspace place and then you fight a dragon there. I'm pretty sure you also fight that same dragon in Dark Souls 1, which if true makes me wonder how it even got out of there!
My guess for the Swordipede is it was part of an antigrav robot trials.
Mara from the Shin Megami Tensei games is exactly what it looks like.
Dumb drum is intended to be damaging himself every time he slams down on the ground. IDK if it was an in game line, or in the owners manual or a strategy guide, but there is a line somewhere that tells you you can't hurt one of K Rool's minions. To just avoid them until they wear themself down. It's a relatively common trope in older games. How many bosses have you had to make charge into electrified columns or explosive barrels?
Re: Mara from SMT. "It's nuts" No, not nuts, but you're close.
How about the most Grotesque bosses of All time top 10?
Hey, way to call out the major... oh, you mean IN game.
Mara, actually, has a reason for looking the way it is. It's a demon of warped ambitions. Phalic body represents endless lust and a golden chariot represents greed. It's bizzare yet not without a thought behind it.
There's something about Adjudicator.... whenever I look at him, wether it's in game or a still image of him... my brain has a hard time processing what exactly I'm looking at. I mean he has a relatively simple design right? Basically just a big lumbering ball of lard with one hell of a tongue... and yet I still don't know what to think about what I'm looking at. I dunno if that's just me or
This video will become a source for my time pass. Good job
contra games are so underrated and dont get enough love
Did not even know that wario world was a game lol, good stuff!
Swordipede makes perfect sense. Say you have a giant reactor or massive important server room. Using robots with guns and bombs and laser beams would be fairly counter productive if the aim is to protect the thing in the room. Enter, Swordipede! Just flies up and down the walkways and slices everything in its path with no collateral damage.
The Swordepede has a perfectly good use to Shin-ra. Do Recall before this era of "peace" Shin-ra was at war with Wutai. Wutai, a pastiche of every far-eastern country, has Jungles, huge chasms, and a great number of mountain ranges. A flying blade covered remote controlled or automated robot would be able to clear the Jungle, won't fall into pits and can traverse even the winding bridges from mountain to mountain. It's perfect and built to Purpose.
having bosses that inquire some sort of explanation is better than having dragons, skeletons or slime for the nth time.
Wow metal slug 3 was one of my favorite games I'm just surprised the floatin aliens boss from the series didn't make the list.
Mako energy has mutative effects to all things on midgard. (Hey, I'm rationalizing ova hur, and ya chose this over the horror house?) lol
The number one looks like some sick H.R. geiger creation lol
The Great Mighty Poo from Conker’s Bad Fur Day is the one that has always done it for me, can’t top that
I'm convinced that the statue of liberty was just added in Ninja Gaiden because a year before God of War 2 came and it looked cool in it to fight a big statue
Interesting fact about Warioworld.
The final boss was for some reason messed with for all non Japanese releases and just had literally all of its phases cut out.
The first one looks like the speed boost boss from Metroid fusion. I love it!
I played Kingdom Heart 1 when I was 11.
I can tell you that boss left a forever impression on me lol
My personal pick would be the Biolizard/Final Hazard from Sonic Adventure 2. The game doesn't explain shit about why this weird lizard thing is the "ultimate lifeform". And then it metastasizes to the Space Colony Ark, and then Sonic and Shadow go Super Saiyan to fight a space colony lizard fusion as it hurtles towards earth while butt rock plays.
SA 2 is a great game.
Apparently, as Shadow is the real "Ultimate Lifeform", the Biolizard was meant to be a prototype before they decided to make a superfast hedgehog... Shadow even says something along the lines of "Get out of here, you ugly prototype!" when you beat it...
How dare you question Metal Slug logic, Canon Doomsday Hermit Crab is the least of your problem, when later you fights satan, in an aztec temple
This one was great we need sequels people speak up so they do a commenters addition
Swordipede is pretty easy to explain. Hojo is a complete nutjob. That's it. But also, that thing is WAY less ridiculous than the Hell House.....
"Your friend fought a house... a house!?!?"
What about the weird giant baby & the super tall lady bosses from resident evil village? 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Oh and the half man half turbine dude too! No explanation how he came about either 🤔
I loved the Abjudicator's design because it was the creepiest one at that point of my first run. I had only beaten 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1 at that time, so when I entered the Abjudicator's arena and saw that morbid mass of fuck down there I was like "Nope!"... then he swipped at me with his tongue and knocked me down anyway... and I panicked... and then double panicked when I realized my scared swipes were just bouncing on his fat and doing jack shit..... I miss that sensation of playing DeS the first time
