Board 8 > So is the consensus that Sonic Generations' final boss is awful?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just played through the whole game last night, and holy s***, that final boss was a complete train wreck. Your success or failure seems almost completely based on luck, and they did a terrible job explaining anything about the fight. Why should I "switch with the triangle button"? I see that it shifts the perspective, but what good does that do? Does that attack that slows down time for a few seconds serve any actual purpose? When I press X the other Sonic shoots forward, but does that actually do anything, because it doesn't seem to? Why do the friends insist on telling me that those yellow missiles will home in on me every ten seconds? Did they even playtest to realize that because of the huge-ass boss in the middle of the screen for most of the time, you usually can't even see the upcoming rings until they're way too close for you to be able to reach in time?

Yeah it's bad and easily the worst part about the game.

the 2D part of it is absolutely horrid.

yeah, I ended up just not going into 2D when I finally won, because I didn't see nor had the game told me any reason that I should.

Yeah the whole thing is a colossal mess. Really just dumb in every way, from the friends constantly telling you the same s*** over and over - and you can't turn them off either - to the dodgy camera and trhe Bayonetta-esque clusterf*** of special effects onscreen making it hard to distinguish what's an attack and what isn't...lame.

The 2d section I think can help to get you more rings and to help dodge the lazer attack he uses. But you should be able to get enough rings without it and the lazer attack is still dodgeable anyway.

But yeah, dumb dumb dumb. One of the biggest discrepancies between "quality of game" and "quality of final boss" I've ever seen.

The guru champ isn't such a SuperNiceDog, he made me change my sig!

Oh, something else--if I basically have to hold down the square button the entire fight in order to reach the boss, why not just make it so I'm always going that speed, and don't force me to press the button at all?

Yeah, the final boss was terrible.

There's a few other things about the game that were terrible too, but that was by far the biggest offender.

The final boss was bad,yes...totally had no idea how to beat him even after reading guides and watching videos
I beat him somehow...dunno how


But,the time it took me to beat the hard version of the final Eggman battle was about half of the time it took me to 100% the game,so that was worse

Yep, final boss was terrible. Rest of the game is fantastic.

Totally still relevant, totally not just a lurker. Totally.

The final boss is pretty bad, but at least the music is pretty rad!

...Oh god worst unintentional rhyme ever.

Now try getting the "beat the final boss without getting hit" trophy/achievement!

LOL!!!! I hope that's a joke....names don't get more n00bish than that

It's like the developers did the bare minimum to get the last boss working and then forgot about it.

I'm ashamed I had to look up a guide on what to do when the solution turned out to be "hold boost until you win, even if it doesn't look like it's doing anything".

for your phantomile....

I haven't even beat it yet

It's pretty bad, but better than S&K3 and SA2 bosses

Also, the super robot is a ballin' boss fight. I wouldn't call it bad by any means, more like a classic!

Boring sig is boring

S3&K having a bad final boss is a new opinion to me

I mean, with 6 parts to choose from it's hard to find someone who dislikes all of them.

For the record, I think they're all good.

THAT LOOKS LIKE A HOMING SHOT!!!!!!!!

Live and Learn alone makes SA2 final boss be better than Generations final boss
