No Techniques Are Off-Limits To Me, But You Hold Yourself Back

Wednesday and time for another list. What will this week's list be about though? Well I thought I would go with the best secret bosses in games. Going not only on notoriety, but in difficulty in defeating, and difficulty n unlocking. So here we go.

5. Cow King - Diablo II

So one of the best grinding spots in the game that you just have to be careful about not actually killing the king himself. Now the level itself has become the thing of legend.

4. The Lingering Will - Kingdom Heats 2.5 Remix

Only available in the remix version of the game, but that doesn't mean this boss doesn't pack a challenge. By far and away the most challenging boss in the series and one that doesn't allow for a bunch of satisfactions upon defeating

3. The Darklurker - Dark Souls II

The Souls series is known for its intense difficulty and the secret bosses don't disappoint in this category. This boss though also has the difficult task of summoning it. Lighting all the candles in the dungeon sounds simple enough, but then so does opening a chest and we know how that goes in Dark Souls.

2. Penance - Final Fantasy X

One if not the most difficult bosses in the Final Fantasy Series and that is not even including what it takes to be able to fight him. That being the defeat of all of the Dark Aeons the game has to offer. After doing so sit back and enjoy the 1 hour plus of the insane combat required to defeat it.

1. Akuma - Super Street Fighter II Turbo

So Akuma now is a main stay in the series, but this wasn't always the case. Unlocking this battle is probably the toughest around. Requires you to never continue and also defeating enemies 4 times being perfect. Doing so when getting to Bison Akuma defeats him with one hit and the battle is on.

There you have it in my mind the best secret bosses in gaming. What do you think? Did I miss any? As always let me know in one way or another.

But I Have No Choice

Ever so excited to play a game because you know it is going to be great or you have heard great things? Then throw it in and realize that the prologue of the game is god awful. Know I know every game cannot have a prologue up to The Last of Us caliber, but those of this list are just plain awful, and all of them are great games.

5. The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings

So sometimes prologues are bad because you just aren't ready for anything in the game. Witcher 2 starts out with you remembering a siege. You are part of it with no combat training whatsoever and it can be tiresome and frustrating

4. The Ren and Stimpy Show: Time Warp

So there is nothing like having to collect something to progressin the game. Problem with this though is they don't tell you. If you fail to collect the required number your game is over and you start over. All the while you are unaware of the time constraint.

3. Assassin's Creed II

So I love this game as you may know. The fight scene and the running to meet Christina so tiresome and boring. You don't even realize the significance of the whole Christina visit really until you play through Brotherhood. I understand what they were doing, but this could have been done much better.

2. Kingdom Hearts II

Nothing like starting the game playing someone you weren't expecting and completing a much of mundane tasks and jobs. All so you can get into the action. Does anyone like doing this?

1. Heavy Rain

One of my favourite games starts off with you at home completely your daily routine. You get to brush your teeth, draw, and other exciting tasks. I understand this is to teach the player the controls, but it comes across as dull and boring, and I know some people just have stopped playing the game in general because of it.

There you have it my list for the worst Prologues in gaming. Agree or Disagree let me know as always.
