Pfffft, 1-4 is the real final boss of PW1 anyway! 1-5 is like bonus DLC or something!
Yeah, definitely seconding this.
PW3 has the weird situation where I would regard the "final boss" as... the one who isn't actually final. It does make the -actual- final rather weak, though.
Come to think of it, DMC3 feels kinda similar, which is one of the reasons I don't really get hype for that one in this thread, but I assume that has more to do with gameplay (which I can see though still don't agree with; I thought the fight was fairly simple).
