If it's a good enough game, I'll replay it one day. If not then who cares.

Either way, WE TAKE THOSE

This actually happened to me with Nebilim in Tales of the Abyss. I chose option 2

I guess it might not count as an "action" game but it's an example that came to mind.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

When a game glitches it almost always is not in your favor setting you back, so when something like this happens you take the W.

If I'm frustrated I'll definitely take the kill. If I feel I only have 2-3 more tries then I'll do it the right way.

Glitch win makes for a better story. If it's a good action game I'm replaying it anyway someday and presumably will be able to face the boss without a glitch. So yeah just let it ride.

I'll take the freebie, but also after the fight will probably save to a new file, so that if I ever felt the "urge" to fight the boss properly, I could do so on the old file. That's often how I handle missing out on things in general.

I'm also probably not ever touching that old file anyway, and if there's limited save slots, I'd be willing to save over it.

The game attacks me every time my controller's inputs don't work in time or if I set the controller down. I can attack it too when it's AI isn't executing as intended or if I catch it slacking.

Only time I can think of this happening to me was Bloodborne against the Blood-starved beast. I don't know what happened but it disappeared and then a short time later it said it was dead. I assume it pathed out of the map somehow.

I just took the free win but Bloodborne autosaves so I don't think I could have gone back even if I wanted.

Actually this crossed my mind and is probably what I'd do.

"Hollow" no the victory is more epic when the game breaks (but I'd likely go back and beat it "properly" later yeah)

This has happened to me. A good handful of times cause I like action games.

Elden Ring was most recent. Boss black knight on horseback about 15 levels above me ran off the edge of the map while chasing me and died without me swinging a sword or casting magic.

I did not reload and I saved immediately. I always take the win.

I mean there is no reloading an old save/state in Elden Ring or other Fromsoft Souls type games. The boss gets itself killed you really don't have any option but to take the win.

Ha, so after that being the only time I could recall it happening, it literally just happened in a gacha game I play. They released a challenge boss today and there's a glitch that allows infinite turns. If you take the free win (I did), there's no turning back as it's a 1 time clear.

Looking at the mechanics, I'd have easily won without the glitch anyway though

Sometimes you fight a difficult boss until you get an easy pattern and it still feels hollow but it is what it is

Usually my reaction is "lmao get fucked nerd" and to take the W.

This happened to me against several of the tougher bosses in Bloodstained but unfortunately the game crashed when the bosses died because that game is super well made.

I had the reverse happen against the final boss where the fight didn't end after Tear stopped singing, locking me into an eternal battle where neither side could kill or die. I reset and did it over but I was very tempted to just go "found the secret bad ending!" and never pick up the game again.

Kill them, save in a separate file, go back, try to kill them properly. If that doesn't work, just go on with the game.

This happened to me during the King Dice bossfight in Cuphead. I killed him and didn't look back.

But if I had been enjoying it, I might reload. It would have felt lame killing the secret boss in God of War after all the build up (plus, that fight is a bunch of fun).

I feel like there's three types of gamers in this situation.

The first type: The ones who just want to beat the game. "Oh, a glitch? I'll take it."
The second type: The ones who want to prove their skill. "A glitch? I'm going to reset and try to beat it legitimately."
And the third type: The speedrunner. "Did you say glitch? How can I repeat it, and will it make my time faster? Wait... do you even HAVE to beat the boss, or is it one of the ones i can skip? What caused the glitch, and will it work on other bosses to make my time faster?

I remember one time in Dark Souls, I had a boss throw me off a cliff, and then strangely, the boss followed, so it killed itself, and the kill counted. I was expecting to refight it after respawning, only to find the fog gate gone, I thought for sure the game was going to make the *free kill* not count. However, being Dark Souls, the game saves all progress, so you couldn't go back anyways, apart from starting a new save file.

See this is me. Like I won't use items in boss fights because I want to beat it without them

In Mega Man games I often forget I even have all these shiny toys to play with. I always find myself trying to beat bosses with just the Buster shot.
