Alrighty. Lets keep this moving!
What is your favorite boss battle and why?
And related, which is your least fav battle and why?
And BONUS! Who do you think has the lamest name and character of all MGS?
1) The End -- it's the go-to answer, but there's a reason for that. it was so unique and innovative, and it felt like the first MGS boss battle that really went he extra mile to make stealthing around a priority. other prior mgs boss battles dabbled (Rex for example), but didn't quite nail it. this did.
2) Fortune -- Sort of a waste of a boss battle given that you can't attack at all, you're just dodging for a certain period of time. They could have made up for this by throwing in a later boss battle where you're tasked with figuring out how to attack her or disable her. or perhaps even just sneak by her...something sorely lacking in MGS boss battles.
Bonus) Lamest character? Johnny. I'm not a huge fan of poop humor. It was okay in MGS1, but they went way too far with it in 4, and there was no reason to make him be part of part of rat patrol and meryl's eventual love interest. it was pure fan service, and could have easily been a better and more fleshed out character.
Lamest name? All of the beauty and the best bosses. Just rather lazy to fallback on referencing those names. Too much shadow moses call-backs as a whole in 4. I liked going back there, but we really didn't need more MGS1 callbacks, references and rehashes after MGS2 purposely does it already.
