For all the people saying Origins had the best boss fights, I keep hearing people say that. It's not like I disagree per se, but you make it sound like all of them were fucking great, and I disagree with that:
-
was decent, nothing special. A bit boring maybe.
-
was a huge disappointing QTE fest.
-
was great and felt really fresh.
-
fight was okay, nothing special.
-
was a good change of pace, felt fresh.
-
was good (even though it was basically Mr. Freeze, as in you can't use the same move twice).
-
: exact same format as Arkham City, except for the goons you have to fight to get to him.
-
: pretty much a rip-off from the much better
fight in Arkham City
Arkham Origins has two good fights
and
) and one great one (
), while the others are decent or disappointing.
Other great ones:
Arkham City
-
: Pretty much everything about it was great. The setting, the diversity, the music, it had it all.
-
: for the reasons stated by many. Very tense, especially since you can't use moves twice. Even more tense in NG+.
-
: slashing at him with swords, how is that not fucking great? Especially after
dying, it really helped with letting it all out.
Arkham Asylum
-
: this was a great fight, so tense and I think I nearly pissed myself. Very high pressure and very good fight.
-
: Not necessarily great (because you don't even actually fight him), but the whole experience was just surreal. Felt really good.
All games in the series had two/three great battles, expect for Arkham Knight which had exactly zero. Better yet, it didn't even have any "traditional" boss battles, the only one close to it was
, which was awfully disappointing, while the rest (like
) were with the Batmobile.
