i'm so over people calling every "surprise" boss fight in a game a "genius" move. like, no, it's just a cheap thrill.

nah, that's bullshit. surprise bosses can be fucking awesome if done right. stops the game from getting stale and keeps you on your toes.

yeah, i'm so over that too, but at the same time, it's hard to deny that it's still effective, even if it is predictable.

have you ever played a game where the 'surprise' boss fight felt actually surprising, or was it just a poorly executed script?

same lol, and it's even worse when it's the only "twist" in the entire story, like, come on, can't you do better than that?

yeah, let's be real, it's less 'genius' and more 'gamers running out of money

same, and also can we talk about how it's always the same reveal? 'the person you trusted is the villain' like, how many times have we seen

what, you don't like the adrenaline rush of getting your ass kicked by a random boss fight?

idk, man, those fights can be really impactful and change the pace of the game in a cool way. they're not all cheap thrills

right? like, it's not clever, it's just annoying. way to ruin the mood, devs.

same, but i'm more over people calling every arbitrary plot twist in reality a "plot twist
