[b][u]IMPORTANT; please actually read the post and/or the tl;dr before posting. I have three questions for you, not just the one in the title.[/u][/b] Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, with my hated enemy Pontiff Sully! Sully: "Please, Aifos, call me Sulyvahn. Now, back when I was still a young sorcerer from Ar-" Ooh, looks like we're out of time, Sully! Get off the stage, and never come back! Now, I brought Sullyvahn here, because he isa great example of an [i]atmospheric[/i] boss. Walking into a grand cathedral, and having this dual-wielding bad-a pyrosorcerer start attacking us, with such amazing music! Ahh, it was quite incredible! However, there's few unique mechanics besides "hot him till he dies". [spoiler]note; please do not scream at me about his unique moveset, or the clone mechanic. Of course a boss will always have something unique, but Soulsborne bosses in general tend to go for atmosphere.[/spoiler] Now onto our second guest; Kali Angel! Kali: *gurgle* *roooooar* Ew.. Now, spoilers for Gravity Rush 2; [spoiler]The third fight with Kali Angel was just.. Weird. She turns into some gross blobby thing, and you gotta kick her eyes out.[/spoiler] This is a great example of a gameplay oriented boss! Atmospherically it was just.. Weird, but the actual gameplay of the battle was super fun, especially since there was a chain of human bosses before it. (most enemies in GR require hitting a weak point, but human bosses, you just hit 'em, and dodge until they die) [b][u]Tl;dr? Here's my point![/u][/b] Here are my questions! 1. Who is your favorite boss atmosphere wise? 2. Who is your favorite boss gameplay wise? 3. Which do you find more important in making a boss enjoyable, if for some reason you can't have both? My answers; [spoiler]Atmosphere wise; Hard to say, but it definitely goes to Soulsborne! So many awesome fights, like the Moonlight Butterfly, Ivory King, Vendrick, EVERYTHING from Bloodborne, Sully, Aldrich, etc. Gameplay wise; I love puzzle bosses, so this should go to something from Zelda or Darksiders, but the first thing that came to mind is from Gravity Rush 2; The fight against Durga Angel & Kali Angel. (the one right before the example above) Couldn't say why. It was just really fun. ^-^ Importance; For me, its atmosphere. As fun as my gameplay example was, nothing can compare to a really cool atmospheric boss to me, and gameplay oriented bosses like Kali(3) are really disappointing imo, and I tend to hate them until my second go round, where I know it's going to happen. Of course, having both is best![/spoiler]
