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.

Hadouken

So I woke up this morning and really couldn't believe it was already the middle of the week. Really just seemed like the weekend was still around and I was complaining about losing an hour of sleep. Really did just sneak right up on me. Now I am babbling, but  it is Wednesday and Wednesday means it is time I put together a list. Now what list do I have in store this week? Well it is simple really. There are games out there that we all know and love and sometimes those games have a sequels sometimes they are awful and then their are those games which are just part of a special breed. Here is my list for those.

5. Starcraft II

Now Starcraft and Starcraft Brood war were amazing games, which I probably put way more time into then I care to admit. Not only did they have a great competitive scene but the story involved in them was something never seen in an RTS game. Starcraft II though has changed gaming. Sure the Esports scene was around before Starcraft II, but it has grew bigger then anyone could have ever predicted because of Starcraft II. Not only that this game made watching streams really be a thing. It has forever changed the way gaming is.

4. Super Mario Bros 3

Now this game holds a special place in my heart. I could tell you ever secret every warp tube or anything else you can possibly think of. Out of any game involving the plumbers to me it is always compared to the fun I had with this game. I still enjoy laying it and that is saying something. Maybe it is childhood nostalgia but this game is epic.

3. Diablo II

Now Diablo wasa good game. I wouldn't say it was a great or amazing game but it was a good game. It really was the birth of the ARPG genre we know today. Diablo II though is the reason that genre is what it is today. Without this game there would be know God of War, Assassin's Creed, or Diablo III for that matter. This game is  still played today decades later . Now I often rip into people who complain about Diablo III, but it really has to do with how game changing this game was.

2. Super Street Fighter II Turbo

Of all the games which made me a gamer it was this one. Sure I played other games before this one, but this is one I practiced. I wanted and needed to be the best of my friends. Not only that but this game really is the reason for fighting games popularity. Sure there were others around but none were as out in the open as this was. Was in every arcade and anyone who was serious about gaming had it in their collection, and of course would complain about M Bison and Sagat being OP.

1. Uncharted 2

Uncharted 2 is not only one the best sequel ever made it is one of the best games in my eyes to ever be made. It has a story which keeps you engaged and would have best picture written all over it if it was a movie. Not only and the game was the right kind of difficult had perfect landscapes and sound. Truthfully if you have never had the pleasure of playing it you are missing out.

There you have it. Any thoughts? Been sure to let me know some way or another.
