6 Video Game Bosses That Are Freaky As Hell

There was a time when video game bosses were pretty straightforward. Since they usually came in the form of a spider or a helicopter, you knew you what you were getting with boss fights in the first few generations of gaming (think Nintendo and Super Nintendo Era).

Okay, so I know that some people did not like the Devil May Cry reboot, and I can understand why. The new Dante wasn’t cool-cool. He was “I wanna punch this fucking kid in the face” cool, which we all know is not cool at all, but rather, douche-y.

I also know that the game know tried really hard to be hip and smug, while staying somewhat true to the formula that made the original work (i.e. fucked up enemies and frenetic fighting), and that did not gel too well. But, it had a couple of shining moments. The graphics were pretty slick, the presentation was nice (using fonts as fantastically as any game I have ever played, as odd as that sounds) and the boss fights were enjoyable. Sure, they were not as challenging or as cool as some of the other boss fights in the series, but they were pretty vile at times. One of those times being when you fought Poison.

Rather than talk about it, I will just share her colorful exchange with Dante:

She just seems like an angry, half naked old lady, really. But that, in itself, is freaky as fuck.

Should I even say anything about that witty banter? I don’t think I need to, it speaks for itself.
