What's with the Awful "Boss" battles

[GlitchKing]

!!-- POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT--!!

The Tower, The Hand for example? Why so boring and easily accomplished?

No fighting whatsoever involved. The hand, no fighting, cutscene and a simple mashing of quicktime buttons. The Tower, you sneak up on the guy and stealth drain him.. really? That's it?

I fear the addon content to fight Sauron will prove just as worse..

The Black Hand's servant battle was a decent challenge.

The last mission is so bad it's sad and almost ruins the whole game experience for me, Like really? 5 Quick-time events is the last boss?

Seems like the game got rushed and the last parts of the main quest took the hit.

It didn't ruin the game for me as I found the journey totally worthwhile. Holy hell, I was having fun with Brand once I unlocked it lol and releasing carigors on orcs was always fun, but I totally agree that the final boss battle was a total copout and ended the game with a fart.

The only "big boss" battle I found to have any weight to it was the one after you take out the monument, but even that was easy.

The Tower and Black Hand battles were low points in terms of how they were programmed and how to beat them. I got killed by one same Warchief (5 lol) more than either of those last two bosses (a total of 0).

Stealth draining him a few times when his back was turned was not a challenge. Graugs are more challenging than him.

He was referring to the 5 orcs that you have to kill after you kill the tower. Who were also rediculously easy. I didn't even need to recruit 5 warchiefs. I could have taken on that whole "army" myself.

Alrigh but yeah even that was easy too. Hell, all I did was brand most of the foot soldiers and they and the Warchiefs I had with me took out the 5 "Talons" almost by themselves.

game needs hard mode DLC.

I said to somone i was dissapointed tha tthe final boss battle was just a few QTEs. They asked me i would have preferred a cutscene instead. To which i replied, "Yes. Yes i would."

That whole "boss battle" didnt even make any sense. The guy was talking to me, he knows im there. Why the hell am i sneaking up on him? I thouhgt i was in for some mean ass bosfight and ended up just feeling confused.

I was too busy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around on the caragor. Before i knew it 4 Talons were killed. I was lucky to turn around and kill the last one before my cheifs beat me to it.

The First captain was the hardest, which he should have been the easiest of the 3, which was really sad. I had a hard time fighting some of the captains and warchiefs. One guy literally killed me 3 times and became fully powered up, and the only way I could kill him was through stealth but he always came back and was my nemesis in the fnaly battle, thank go had the warchiefs to kill him lol.

If you want a challenge...turn off the combat indicators in the options menu and then go do your thing. Ive had uruks one-shot me with fully upgraded health on an arrow alone and that was with them turned on.

they have blatantly obvious animation based tells even without the 2D PAY ATTENTION DON'T STAND HERE objects.

Ohhh... well nevermind.. I mentioned the DLC already above... what a waste of money in my opinion.. Didn't realize I had already beat the game and DLC which in this case it appears the "DLC" belongs in the game to begin with for the storyline... ohh I feel ripped off now.. -_-

[[OCN]Skupples]

wait, what does the DLC include? I only got the vanilla copy.

[TipsyBob]

i was so excited for this game. Loved playing it, the main missions were fun and gripping, wanting me to do more and more to see the story and to finally fight that Bad looking Mofo The TOWER and THE BLACK HAND. I mean even the name BLACK HAND is awesome in itself.

Then i finally met The Tower...

"Bow to me!"....

OOOh i was getting so excited, If the hammer was fun then this will be super! OOOOH...

'Stealth Drain The Tower'..
(Jaw drops)

Are you F**king serious! All that hard work, branding, dominating, having to listen to a fat Scottish dwarf lol and my reward is STEALTH FKIN DRAIN!!!!

WHAT!!!

Oh well, The Black Hand will be EP....wait for it... IC!

"Spacebar Spacebar hold E" and ♥♥♥♥.......

This just seemed like Monolith rushed the ending and it reallly spoiled the experience for me. Just like i am rushing this ending as my dinner is getting cold.

Overall Great game seriously let down by an AWFUL end

Thank you for reading my rant. Your life is now complete

Yeah, the first real bossfight was nice. It actually felt like a bossfight (though easier than some of the warchiefs I faced), the tower? *sigh* And the last bossfight.. seriously? It wasn't even a bossfight, just one big pile of crap qte!
