The boss fights are the worst part of this game

[Vladimir4757]

Their gimmicks are just out right annoying, because you're movement speed sucks they're hard to doge and they can hit you multiple times if you can't swim fast enough. The boss fights take down from my enjoyment of the game way too much. Everything else is fun except the bosses

Is THAT what the developers expected us to use?!?! How?!?!?! I finished that fight by repeatedly swimming AT Watson with the missile following me.

They give a hint, that you need something to hit them back (like a baseball).

They literally put a red box with a bat in it on the field of play - you don't even need to pre-prepare

I don't know about everyone else, but I used the dolphin charms all the way through the game - movement is key at all times. So I never had any trouble personally

The game all but hits you with the bat it wants you to use in that fight.

I am ambivalent about the boss fights. I agree that it's good to have stages where you can prove you are ready for the next level of the game. The fights are kind of fun, too. Not great, but not like Doom or something.

What I don't like is that they can be time-consuming, gimmicky, and hard to avoid. I also agree that DAVE is best when it's casual. And not trying to tie your fingers into fleshy knots *cough*cough* control Suwam and Dave at the same time *cough*cough*. Not all of us are Juilliard graduates. Some of us can't even spell "Juilliard".

I actually liked that simultaneous stuff as it was something fresh that i've not done before. End of the day though, I understand, as the casual nature of the game is pretty much it's selling point - off I go to buy 'Overcooked'... !

The speed difference is like a constant defuff to your char. And most of the bosses pop up when you least expected it. Not saying its diffcult, but kinda irritating

Whacking a missile with a contact triggered warhead with a bat is not intuitive.

LOL That's the "fun" part!

Ya. Why i just quit playing this game? Watson. Keep running out of air and dying. What kind of hell are you devs putting us through in a "casual" game? The kind that makes a player Rage Quit the game. That's what.

John watson people....
At least you didn't have to expierence the Phantom Jellyfish.

It came out of nowhere and was so damn frustrating I nearly lost it

Totally true, most of the boss fight are tedious.

[Hiroshi Mishima]

I just finished the Truck Hermit Crab and I hated that fight. Dave is far too slow, the boss is constantly moving, and the intended method of attacking via dropping the bombs on its back is extremely tedious to do with such a huge, mobile boss.

I wasn't even over-encumbered, Dave is just too slow to cover that kinda space reasonably. It looks cool as hell, cause this game is gorgeous, but it was not fun in the slightest.

EDIT: I don't normally have an issue with Dave's speed in the other boss fights so far, but that one just got under my skin. If one counts it as a boss fight, the Giant Gadon that chases you was quite obnoxious as well. It goes on far longer than necessary and you have no chance to restore your lost air, so if you don't have a large enough air supply...
