Deathstroke in Arkham Knight, which is very sad, considering his Origins fight was legendary.
The greatest mercenary in DC, reduced to a tank driver. Come on, Rocksteady.
Edit: An elite super soldier with Captain America-level capabilities gets one-shot by a weary vigilante who is supposed to be a human. Sigh…
Joker, Arkham Asylum. After everything you went through, it’s mostly just thugs and the occasional grappling hook takedown.
Calamity Ganon BOTW. As a final boss, it was pretty easy to beat. As comparison, I found waterblight and lynels harder to beat.
Final boss in dying light 1 is a QTE lol
Mysterio in the 2004 Spider-Man 2.
But in a good way.
Alduin in Skyrim, Eredin in Witcher 3.
Especially Eredin, man I grinded for tier 3 all tonics and made my build around pure defense because I was doing a death march play through. The boss was still easy
Alduin
Calamity ganon was a little over hyped throughout the game. totk ganon was fucking amazing though, all the way through
Mettaton NEO
Halo 4
You don’t even actually fight him. It’s just a cut scene.
Most Pokemon games imo
I will still play them religiously. But it’s true
Adam Smasher, Cyberpunk 2077
Arkham in DMC3. His just a fucking blob and the phase change into controlling both Dante and Vergil is annoying as all hell.
Lucien Fairfax in Fable 2
Legate Lanius in New Vegas isn’t all that challenging. He’s a melee fighter and there’s enough room to just continually back up and shoot him until he goes down.
Gideon in elden ring. He’s actually not a bad fight if you let his dumb ass finish talking, but usually people just start whooping his ass while he’s still monologuing
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson ?
Sauron in Shadow Of Mordor, the whole game is building an army to take on Sauron and his forces and when you finally reach him it’s a QTE
Leon in Sword/Shield, he gets glazed by everyone more than you do and then when you fight him, you kick his ass so badly
343 Guilty Spark.
Deacons of the Deep. The cathedral of the deep is such an interesting and cool area, but the deacons just aren’t a very good boss (except for the ost).
The exact opposite of this, though, is the Abyss Watchers. Farron Keep is a shithole but at least a peak boss fight like the Abyss Watchers is at the end of it.
Alduin. Such a disappointing ending to the main questline
General Scales in Star Fox Adventures.
Baldur final fight in God of war. Even his first fight was better
The final boss in the first Space Marine was just a QTE, and a fairly big disappointment compared to an otherwise perfect game.
Deathwing from World of Warcraft. A badass, huge dragon who nearly destroyed the world. Boss fight: popping pimples on his back and then phase 2 was fighting magma tendrils and his fingers. Very weird, anticlimactic ending.
Bonus boss from World of Warcraft: Nzoth. A mysterious old god that was built up to be this titanic threat – capable of warping your mind just by being near him. The boss fight: put on this cloak to protect your brain spaghetti, go kill tendrils and then fight a 30ft tall wart-looking mf while his ego is in shambles (I’m not kidding, his vulnerability phase is called “Shattered Ego”). It was anticlimactic and just seemed weird.
The first Bioshock was this back in the day
It’s a beautiful game, and the lore is CRAZY good, and you expect to fight a spliced up God who will bleed every last bullet and dribble of EVE out of you
But he was a bitch who could be taken out by a bout of rank farts

Venom at the school in Spider-Man 2 was a bit oh okay this certainly is a boss
Elden Ring – Shadow of the Erdtree
Consort Radahn. The build up and the entrance are epic, the fight (pre patch) was an absolute shitshow.
Elden Ring is known for challenging but fair fights. This one was pure bs. Never ending combos that can two shot you and are so quick and have such a wide aoe that you can’t roll out of them, barely any time to heal … nah. The only boss I couldn’t beat without summons.
Professor Nakayama from Borderlands 2. This guy has a whole speech, one of the signature intro animatics, and his whole fight is watching him fall down the stairs, each bounce taking a massive chunk of his health, and then him dying when he hits the floor.
Elden Ring Fire Giant, and Elden Beast. I hate bosses you spend 70% of the fight chasing after. It’s really. REALLY annoying.
