7 Things Videogame Bosses Really Need To Stop Doing

[@theprof4046]

They really need to stop having long unskippable monologues before the fight that you have to sit through every. Single. Time!

[@mortenu.5606]

The games or Playstation access

[@wuebboltc]

That's what I love about fighting Harkon in Skyrim -- he has a long monologue that you can skip by walking up to him and swatting him.

[@godsplayingfield]

why would they stop doing that? it's the most damage they are possible of dealing tot he player.

[@theprof4046]

@@wuebboltc the fact you call it a "swatting" makes it even more insulting for him. I love it!

[@princessthyemis]

@theunknownstuntman4010 absolutely!!!! When I was facing the Valkerie Queen in God of War, I was focusing so hard I actually made myself get lightheaded 🤣🤣🤣

[@theunknownstuntman4010]

@princessthyemis please don't mention the Valkyrie queen to me, that absolute nightmare stopped me from getting a platinum on GoW, could not beat it. I got so wound up it triggered my IBS 😆

My pet peeve is when my boss asks why I'm late to work every Friday. He doesn't seem to understand my reasoning of "Because it's 4 pm in Bath, UK" He always replies with "Well, it's 8 am here." And my work HP & MP bars deplete by half 😢

Hello, you’ve caught me catching Rob catch me catching him ready to settle down with a montage of boss victories!

[@erikhanson1162]

Glowing boss weak spots on bosses is a form of natural selection, if you'll bear with me. While hiding vulnerabilities is a survival trait in real life, video game bosses know that they'll never get screen time if they don't broadcast their weaknesses. Bosses are, at heart, drama queen virtuosos.

[@princessthyemis]

Love that haha!

[@kirbyrawstorne]

The script on this FF was *really* solid, nice work Accessories!

[@BritReadsBritAuthors]

Videogame Bosses need to stop being in a really big empty room at the end of a long corridor that let's you gain xp and good rewards (power-up items, new weapons/armour) from enemies, alongside chests with healing items and power-boosts to stock up on. But, in particular, they need to stop letting the good guys encounter SAVE POINTS right before you walk into the room where the music changes.

[@hoosierbuddy1251]

Rob is always looking out for his co-workers. That aricon was needed this summer.

[@CJBooks4]

4:32 Rob's sense of humor is great

[@yeahsure.6083]

If the final boss really wanted you dead they wouldn't throw countless mobs at you to farm xp from. They'd just gank you as soon as possible when you're level 5 or so.

[@dennigalla]

I think we need a Boss Busters special to assist Rob in beating the Tower Knight.

[@sethlaw3394]

Here's something they should consider: the easiest way to beat tower knight is to finish the levels you are meant to do before tower knight, like 2-1, 3-1, or 4-1. I think a stream where Rob starts with 2-1 and works his way that way would be better than him trying tower knight again, and 15 minutes into a 90 stream he's already triggered - he doesn't deserve that

[@PlayfulOtter]

The eyes on a human are weak spots. Imagine if you were a fly and you were tasked with taking down a human, you'd probably go after the eyes to weaken them and then go for the throat or into the ear to get at more lethal weak spots. I do agree with the glowing weak spots that the boss just opens up randomly when there really is no reason to do so, though.

[@SordidStateofEclairs]

Your sense of humor is great, Rob. Loved the intro. Thanks for this video, I really needed a pick me up.

[@eavymetalgaming8442]

[@wehavesixdogs]

montage should've included: "CLIMB?!!? CLIMB?!!!?!" (though not a boss fight, it is one of my favorite moments)

[@cmwinchell]

The bosses aren't placing those friendly healing items before their arenas. It's the same person who effortlessly runs through dungeons in games like Dark Souls and lights all the torches so that you can see where you're going.

Hey, Rob, first time commenting on one of your videos :) I just wanted to thank you for all the Friday features you create. They are a bright spot on my Fridays and never fail to make me smile or spark my interest for games I have yet to play. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to next Friday! Also, have you ever done a feature on games you regret playing or ones that you were looking forward to and then were severely disappointed in when you finally got your hands on them? I know that's happened to me more than a few times 😂

[@gregorymeeh1930]

Bosses need to be strict with their city council over zoning laws to prevent merchants from setting up shop just outside. Heroes who might normally have blown through all their ammo and consumable items but are cash rich after plowing through the hordes of minions, now have the perfect opportunity to get perfectly prepared for whatever the boss has to throw at them.

[@messmass2573]

ooh, i just realized they bring back the badger(?) in their videos. Guess, I've been away too long to notice. 🤣

[@mulukh7]

[@shadowlinkbds]

5:59 Rosie be like "What just happened?"

[@KahranRamsus]

More of a "game designers should stop doing" thing, but gated health bars where enemy health stops going down when certain thresholds are met, whether for an animation or a mechanic that makes them invincible until you do a certain thing. In this day and age there are numerable ways to make boss fights interesting with combat mechanics, making them impervious to attacks just feels like they wanted the fight to be longer but didn't know how to make it interesting.

[@reneschoolderman7835]

Just turned myself in a giant bug! Wished you put this video up earlier... now its hard to push the like button with pincers...

[@fenrirson]

This more qualifies for major bosses, but they need to stop sending mini bosses more fitting to the hero's current skill/equipment level, if they went after heros as soon as they landed then they wouldn't have those ultra powerful spells and weapons to use and the fight would be over before it even started.

[@chazdrain1048]

[@jasperzanovich2504]

6:33 No, it's obviously because of all those Jill Valentine mods.

[@DanielJamesShirley]

It’s a good point about the final boss mutating into an insect form. I have often thought if they win they’re a bit stuff afterwards being stuck in that form! 😂😂

[@CJBooks4]

I wasn't expecting that ending, the continuity with it was what cracked me up😂: please have Rob do a Friday Feature as a spider for at least one video just for the gag🤣and then have it end with Rob turning back into human form💖

[@ASLTheatre]

One thing I am secretly glad bosses sometimes do is send weaker enemies we can recover some health from. Example: Force Unleashed at the final battle. You have a choice to fight Vader or the Emperor. If you fight Vader it’s a one on one fight. No chance to recover health. Fighting the Emperor, between each phase Palpatine sends minor thugs to fight you. You recover some health after beating them. They’re like “Walking Health Packs”.

How about the opposite of bosses charging? When they walk really slow? You know, when they move like 1 MPH and just let you hose them down with gunfire as they slowly make their way toward you instead of dodging? Or they just let you run away when they could instead do some light jogging to catch up to you and crush you into pulp or what have you?

Bosses that teleport minions into the arena to fight for them. Or to help you regain health. Bosses that throw attacks where you aren't. Big giant bosses that stay in one place, and where you only have to fight the upper body. C'mon, big bosses ought to have a lot of power in their bodies - use it.

[@Asclearascoffee]

Ah, great funny video as usual. You forgot one more thing ... Boss who just sits waiting on the throne (or big arena room), instead of chasing after the heroes the moment they step on the dungeon/castle/temple. Unless you are a certain aristocrat who likes to drink wine and throw the cup after that, you have no valid excuses to not to go after the heroes. Especially if the dungeon/castle have some sort of gimmick/mechanism that can weaken your combat prowess/fight. Do not let the heroes obtain those gimmick.
