I prefer them to grinds where your superhero character can kill 1,000s of NPCs in a dungeon. the challenge makes it seem more like a puzzle requiring thought than a button mashing party.

"Shadow of the Colossus" and "Bushido Blade", for example, were more fun to me than "Diablo". I like the anticipation inherent in an adventure and then its' resolution, which can be encapsulated within a boss fight, versus a non-stop grind.


I prefer it when the thinking is in finding the solution to a riddle or finding your way, rather than in having to guess that you have to hit the thing just when its eyes are open.

It depends on the type of boss. There are two broad categories, one of which you'd probably enjoy. lord-of-shadow - 02/07/2010 04:59:33 PM 1000 Views
