What is your favorite boss fight of any video game?

[Captain Russ]

Mike "I want to eat his children" Tyson.

THIS.

SO MUCH THIS.

Also: Dark Knight Cecil versus Paladin Cecil from FFIV. Easy as shit, but an interesting change of pace that wasn't the norm at the time.

[Captain Russ]

Nevermind. I take it back.

Iron Mike is a douchebag of a boss.

I'd rather fight King Hippo.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, Hippo > Tyson.

[Captain Russ]

Another one for the pyre would be Snake VS. Cyber Ninja, just for Otacon pissing so much it floods the locker he's hiding in.

[BillyG]

I had huge problem beating King Hippo. I almost always had to hand the controller off to a friend. Then Mike would come up and I would play conga drums on his face and insta win. I still don't get it.

Prison...changed Mike.

Psycho Mantis is a favorite of mine. MGS has some great boss fights. MGS3 has two of my favorites, The End and The Boss. The sniper fight with The End is EPIC, having to use all your resources to stay hidden and find that camoed fucker. If that's too hard, save your game, come back a week later (or fast forward the PS2 clock a week) and the old fuck is dead. Shit, you can even snipe his ass after you first see him in a cutscene when he's being wheeled away, and you never have to go through his boss fight later.

The Snake Eater theme playing during the fight with The Boss just makes that fight great for me. Equip the snow camo and she can't see you during the fight as long as you keep your distance.

God of War has some great ones too. Most make you feel bad ass. The Colossus of Rhodes probably being the best in God of War II.

I did that by accident in my first play through. Fucking loved that game.

[Captain Russ]

The End was awesome.

I ended up killing his parrot and he went apeshit. Loved that fight.

[Abraham Smashington]

Jaws. I was able to only get to the end and beat it like 2-3 times as a kid. Such a piece of shit like all LJN games.

[Ed Hocken]

I had actually heard that many of the LJN games were done by other studios but had the LJN name slapped on to them.

[Abraham Smashington]

Doesn't matter what you heard. THEY ALL SUCKED.

[Ed Hocken]

That they did.

I also heard about the inability to create a time paradox in MGS3.

I will not! I stop at 'like me', usually...

Also, the final crazy creature in the original Half-Life. Having to drop a ton of charges into its gaping maw and then jumping off while I blew him up was epic. As was the mindfuck of a multiple ending.
