[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 3874975, member: 1457"] You need to play God of War. The game is terrific all 'round, but is famous for its over the top "boss fights" with gods, creatures of myth, and so on. Here's a PA comic about it: [url]http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/03/19[/url] Here's a youtube with the very first fight, about two minutes from the start of the game. It's with a hydra/sea serpent, from within and atop your sinking fleet. Encounter 1: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHpsxWuun-A[/url] Encounter 2: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIKFoPcCtk8[/url] Encounter 3: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KStpDpItAgs[/url] (this one has... "music" overlaid on top of the video) This Youtube is of another game, Shadow of the Colossus, that is literally and entirely all about these huge encounters with titanic creatures. This video is a compilation of scenes set to decent music: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i_FxqyW2PE[/url] . Beautiful game, that. And a good example of an encounter with a creature that can't be beaten simply by hacking away at its shins--each one must be killed in a specific way. [/QUOTE]
