Final Boss ruined the game for me.

[lemieux]

First off, I did purchase the Ultimate GameStop Edition and if look at all my posts here I praise this game. Despite all the tech issues, etc, I did enjoy the game. Keyword: did.

Ok, having said that. I really am serious when I say the final boss in this game simply zapped all the fun out of game for me. As did some of the other bosses in the game. There is simply way too much BS with them and it feels like a chore WAY TOO much and all the fun, enjoyment, and satisfaction is simply removed form the game itself. Final boss attack at one point is not really able to dodge the super attack and a crap shoot if you will die in 2 hits and have to restart.

I spent nearly 2 hours I'm sure on the final boss. Yes. Nearly 2 hours of try-and-die with attacks that were pure crap shoots of instadeath.

It is so bad I need to repeat myself since the crap of this game warrants it -- the bosses in here are hard for no reason other than being hard for BS reasons. Much like the difficulty gets in the Ninja Gaiden games on Xbox and Xbox 360 days.

I play games to relax, have fun, enjoy myself, and vegetate.

If I wanted to feel stressed, feel like fighting a losing battle, or just be overall annoyed to the utmost level -- I would stay at work and never leave.

Trion you REALLY, REALY, REALLY, REALLY, dropped the ball on the difficulty with a lot in this game.

Now if -- and I use the word IF big time here, you were allowed to have other players (ummm, like maybe your friends) join in the ALL the missions and play it like it was a co-op game, then -- and only then -- would I be ok with the difficulty with a lot of this game.

After all, this is SUPPOSED to be an MMO, right?

Why can't friends play WITH us ALL thru the game? It feel more like single player with ability to watch other people walking around the world.

Boss fights left me feeling disappointed and soooooooooooooooo much of the fun in the game is now lost to me.

Bitter taste the game left me with.

sorry you feel that way i personnally feel let down at the ease of bosses in this game especially co-op mission bosses

What guns are you trying to use on him? Perks?

I beat him with some random white infector I found, and a scoped LMG for the phase with the clones.

A lot of people are recommending a BMG as your secondary to heal you when you get hit. Also, use cloak, decoy, or even blur instead of overcharge, as staying alive is more important than big damage.

Make sure to shoot the crystals near you when they pop up. When he goes on the ledge, pick a spot where most of them are out of sight, and put 2-3 bullets in each of the ones you can see. They pop out of existence and no longer attack.

For the phase when he dashes at you with a sword super fast, just jump around in circles. It works.

When he starts teleporting above you, he might catch you by surprise the first time, but every time after that that you lose track of him, roll away.

I can't think of anything else helpful.

I do see where you are coming from about the friend and having people join you aspect.

But honestly I thought Nim was relatively easy. I got him on the first try in maybe 15-20 minutes using a heavy scattershot and a TACC Assault. At least he is the final boss haha! But some bosses or challenges are a little crazy (motherlode, dekuso) now Nim was much harder than them, but not game ruining. For me at least.

Thanks for the help and advice folks. But I already finished the final boss.

And that is the reason the game sapped so much of the fun out of it for me.

I'm ok with little bit of difficulty but final boss felt like so much BS. It really has ruined the game for me. The one boss you fight before that is another crock too.

Being billed as an MMO if friends were able to fight along side us I would be ok with a lot of it. But . . . NOPE!

Also please edit out the boss's name in your posts for the sake of not spoiling the game for other people. I'm a strong supporter of zero spoilers in all things, books, movies, games, etc.

Not being a jerk, just trying to maximize things for other people to try and enjoy.

+ + + NOTE, my POST HAS SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE STORY + + +

To the OP, I totally get what you are saying. The ebb and flow of the game is co-op for the most part... but at times, the game forces you into SOLO. So when you get into the "i'm going to relax and just shoot the **** with my buds, play a game against the environment and have fun through this mission, take on a boss and fight it to the end" it's one type of game... but eventually, you get dumped into "go do this yourself".

Well crap. Now I have to be serious. No more shooting the **** with buds to go fight mission X. Now it's just me vs. the world. Bummer. That takes you out of one type of experience and forces you into another. The first time that happened, my group and I were like... hmm.. WTF? Why would they intentionally break our group up? That seemed like a bad design decision.

Why not offer a group to go through the game, or offer you to play it solo for a different reward if there were die hards who wanted the 'glory' of beating NIM or Jack-leg joe on their own... but if I'm just a relaxed gamer who wants to play through the story with buds while I drink a beer... why not let me play my game with friends my way?

So, I hear you bro. I totally get where you are coming from, and from a design decision, I totally think they missed something.

Now that being said. I also see the flip side. When I did finally beat Jack-leg Joe and Nim on my own. I felt like I accomplished something. Both of them were a pain in the ***. I didn't use a shotgun gernade launcher on either of them. (I should get an in game award for that alone!) I used an LMG on Jack-leg switching to sniper for the midgets and 99rs. I used El Diablo and alternate BMG with slow gernades and Decoy on NIM with a quick charge fire resistant 50% regen shield on NIM. I think I died like 6 times on stage one of NIM, 0 on stage 2 of NIM and then 2 or 3 times on stage 3 of NIM before I finally got through it... I can recall saying PLEASE let his *** be dead... when I got through the final stage. I truly felt fatigued and had to turn the game off.

The final boss fight made me want to turn the game off. I didn't research it online, I didn't look anything up. However, after getting tghrough it... I just wanted a break. I felt exhausted, but accomplished. So, yeah, not a fight for the fient of heart. Not a relaxing experience by any measure... and not what I had hoped for in a co-op shooter experience. However, I did feel accomplished... for what that's worth.... so a mixed bag for me.

I found Nim to be pretty easy.

I don't know how much you read about this games difficulty but people have been complaining its way too easy, not too hard. You must have not been actively trying to dodge him. I don't know how you play or what guns you use but I used a green EMC AR and killed him with ease, first try. So, this is the first of Nim being too hard I've heard. Maybe practice some more and polish your skills before you blame the developers for making a game with a challenge.

Done. That was a difficult task though! I think more people would be spoiled by the strategies, and should expect it to be so if they go to a thread labelled about the final boss. xD
