Sly 4's was really underwhelming. It was just QTEs if I remember correctly.

This really takes advantage of the 4 games worth of developing Sly mechanics, yeah?
Yeah but, thing is, The Order was already so trash up to that point I wasn't expecting anything better.

Uncharted 2's final boss > 3 and 4. In 2, at least you're actually jumping around, shooting, climbing, and you know, actually doing the things that the game is based around as a final test of your skill. It wasn't fantastic, but it's automatically better in my book better than not even trying. Uncharted 4 is not about swinging a sword around, do not make that the last thing I do in your game. If your final boss includes a tutorial, you're on a bad path.

Thank you, not sure why Gael is being brought up so much.
To answer the thread, I would say King Allant in Demon's Souls (though that fight is intentionally underwhelming, designed so for story purposes) and Nashandra in Dark Souls II (an utterly mediocre boss).
Whatever the fuck happened at the end of Shadow of Mordor.
I don't know what pissed me off more the "stealth" section the "war" section or the actual "final battle" which was a QTE of one button press... You know what fuck it, it was the whole damn series of events from beginning to end and it retroactively soured my whole playthrough of the game as a waste of time (and I spend my free time playing video games all day eliciting that feeling out of me, holy fucking shit!) , I'm glad that the sequel is riddled with Microtransactions because it makes it beyond a shadow of a doubt that I won't go through that ride again.

Loved it too, its my GOTY.
But I really wish that boss was at least more challenging
My Yoshitsune with Hassou Tobi wrecked it.

the difference to me is that Uc2 actually had one. so there's barely anything to compare.

The cheek of Uncharted 2's final boss still annoys me to this day. I can't believe they played that, put it next to the rest of the game and were like "yep, that's shippable".

So I was playing Fable 2 and I beat this flying rock thing and finally encounter what I assume is the end boss. He starts talking, blah blah blah, and so I wonder what happens if I shoot him in the dick. So I did, and that was the end.
The worst part is the game sets up a clear final boss who... You never get to actually fight.

Gotta agree with those saying re7, we had 3 cool fights before that one and they end with that? C'mon.
+1 for Yu Yevon, which is strange considering you think they would have learned after Necron
What are you playing?

That boss felt like a troll
Of, you didn't like
having to use everybody
use only adol
Though the fight wound up feeling like that disk fight against sephiroth after a while game of epic full party boss fights

It was great for me. I locked on with the legendary pistol and shot over 6 times quickly into his testicles.
Don't fuck with my dog.
I'm not defending Asylum lol, but at least it had a climax, unlike the trash that was Knight. That game is like somebody ate a Batman cake, digested it, vomited it out, and then built another cake with the vomit and black printer ink.

You're defending Asylum in this post. If you stop having an aneurysm over Knight, we can maybe discuss the terrible finale of Asylum.
This boss in Sonic Generations did not feel finished. At all.
Also for those whove played this far in the game:
That looks like a homing shot
This is a good one.... had quite literally no idea what the fuck was going on or what I was doing and then the game ended.
Asylum had a terrible final boss. Hell, the whole finale was horrible, the cutscene is not even 1 minute long if I recall correctly. Still, a very solid game that hasn't aged a day, and a love letter to the Batman mythos. Which can't be said about Knight, which was ashamed of being a Batman game.

Destiny 2's final boss is a total joke if u are playing in a fireteam
specially when u expect Gary to have a second form and the traveler just vaporizes him
I was just about to post this.

Coming off of the first game's amazing final boss, Bayonetta 2's final boss was pretty underwhelming. He was adequate, but not particularly interesting or even hard to dodge.
Plus, that design...
They were going for otherworldly and esoteric-mystical, but they just landed in Dumb Town.
I was pumped the entire game to see how they'd possibly trump the ridiculous final sections of Bayonetta 1, and... They didn't.
It's all thoroughly underwhelming and capped off by a sequence that's ripped directly from Bayo 1's climax, but on a far lesser and less satisfying scale.

I think they were just going for spectacle for the big pig after you fought spider mechanical Ganon or whatever it was.

Yeah nashandra was cool but no challenge. I think they intended for you to fight the watchers and nashandra in a row but even then it isn't that hard. She really needed a distance closing attack or two that forced you to deal with her more.
