15 Video Game Characters We Wish Were Actual Boss Fights



Years and years of playing games has conditioned us to look at any enemy or antagonistic character in a game as a potential boss fights. Because that’s what games do, right? They introduce these formidable foes or ghastly creatures, and eventually let you take them on in dramatic duels.

Well, not always. There have been more than a few instances of games introducing characters that you think are going to be centerpieces of such encounters, but never really get their own boss fights. This is a feature about a few such characters.

  2. The Illusive Man is not a fighter, a boss battle would make no sense against him. And fighting a big boss like the Harbinger would be too against type in Mass Effect, it would have to be some kind of puzzle fight, and those rarely are satisfactory.

  3. Catwoman couldn't have been a traditional boss fight. Mini- maybe. They've never been so greatly opposed to each other's ideals that they would come in true direct opposition. They're attracted, and they dance around it – mostly due to DC disliking marriage and probably wanting to avoid complications about linking him to a 'villain.' However, there are too many who would be cheesed off if he ever really did fight her. Without holding back, as I'd argue he does out of his sense of chivalry, which is not dead. So much as discretion is still the better part of not being attacked for the attempt. The fact he respects, and is attracted comes into play, as does on her side, the fact she doesn't disagree and WANTS to be good. She just doesn't like control in the same way, unless it's in her hands. Which of course, he can't give. So there's an interesting dichotomy that they create, but they'll never be strictly to each other, the hero and the villain. Or the protagonist, and otherwise impasse as an obstacle before him. They also probably wanted to avoid arguments of seeming to advocate domestic violence, since no matter who wins there is continuity where they have been romantically partnered and did sire a child together. Doesn't matter if they've decided it's "not canon." Then there's the fact that they could still be, at any moment DC thinks it'd financially benefit most to allow it, means they won't rock the boat on that will they, won't they attempt.
