I'm not entirely sure why this is. But when I think about games, I find that even in games I quite enjoy, the final boss is usually kind of lackluster, whether it's due to not being a fun battle, or not really fitting the overall mood, or seeming kind of lame/dull/whatever in an otherwise excellent segment. I think the ultimate example of that last point is Mass Effect, where the entire last third of the game is amazing as hell and then the final battle is just kind of there for the sake of having a final boss and would have been better off not existing.
Am I alone on this one? What are some games that delivered final bosses that were the appropriate finales they were meant to be?
