Alucard188 05/13/17 3:51:58 AM #15:	I'm of two minds on it. I am also tired with the excessive use of phase switching whenever a bosses health is depleted. However, if the final boss only has one phase, it better be an epic fucking phase, or else I'm going to be very disappointed. I like all the Dark Souls series does it, because the bosses in the fights will do a sort of phase shift and change up their attack patterns when they get below a certain health. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx <cite>Alucard188 posted [p:879011361] in TBH I'm ge...

Boss fights with lower health bars so the fight doesn't drag on, but now they end too quickly? I'm actually interested in hearing your solutions to this perceived problem. I like phases because they allow you to learn and adapt as the fight goes on, and they keep the same fight interesting over longer periods of time by introducing mechanics mid fight in a progressive manner. <cite>Jet_Enduro101 posted [p:879253547] in TBH I'm ge...

Blue_Dream87 05/17/17 1:49:33 AM #40:	I prefer them to have multiple phases. Makes the fight much more dynamic and engaging. I mean like a one "phase" boss, you just get the strategy down and continue that for like 10 minutes. Multiple phases has you thinking on your toes more, gotta solve more puzzles and devise new strategies. --- http://i.imgur.com/ymmqXXN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5iNwXbV.png http://i.imgur.com/HSriaa3.gif http://i.imgur.com/xphiy45.gifv <cite>Blue_Dream87 posted [p:879253774] in TBH I'm ge...

SwayM 05/17/17 3:56:21 AM #42:	Jet_Enduro101 posted... I mean, what's the alternative? Boss fights that have the same length, but no phases so it just drags on? Boss fights with lower health bars so the fight doesn't drag on, but now they end too quickly? I'm actually interested in hearing your solutions to this perceived problem. I like phases because they allow you to learn and adapt as the fight goes on, and they keep the same fight interesting over longer periods of time by introducing mechanics mid fight in a progressive manner. Boss fights don't "drag on" typically unless they're poorly designed. There isn't a problem here that needs to be solved. --- http://i.imgur.com/Fbusl2a.mp4 <cite>SwayM posted [p:879257538] in TBH I'm ge...

CircleOfManias 05/17/17 10:43:31 AM #43:	It's a matter of how they're presented. Even though 3 phases each with their own 100HP health bar and 3 phases on the same 300HP health bar with phase changes at the 2/3 and 1/3 marks can be the exact same fight, the latter feels like it's adding variety, the former feels like it's stretching out the fight. --- Sick liaisons raise this monumental mark The sun sets forever over Blackwater Park <cite>CircleOfManias posted [p:879268438] in TBH I'm ge...
