Final Boss fights from Horror Themed Games
Every final boss fight you see is pulled from particular previous streams he's done. A lot of franchises are represented here. Especially if you love Doom, Splatterhouse and Castlevania. We also got The Addams Family, Gremlins, Ghostbusters and others joining the party. A lot of these boss fights are tougher than they look.
I do need to point out he doesn't use save states, rewinds or anything that makes games easier. When he beats a difficult game, he wants to do it with raw skill alone. A testament to how well he plays many retro games. The video compilation almost forty seven minutes long. This was a nice surprise for Halloween.
There's a good variety of final boss fights to keep things interesting. It's not clear how he went about selecting them other than all of these came from horror games he previously finished. Games like Castlevania 3 he's fully streamed a few times. If you want the actual stream he pulled footage from, he's wearing a red shirt you're welcome.
Other than his rage video compilations that get quite funny at times. Also sometimes gets offensive to a degree like Family Guy or South Park. I would say this is one of my favorite video compilations he's made. This gets you right into the mood of Halloween gaming wise. Mike had many years of being a video editor for James Rolfe, it shows here.
I know some people wish he would come back to The Angry Video Game Nerd. The main reason why he left Cinemassacre was he had different life goals. He mostly wanted to be a video game streamer while James wanted to do many things in comparison. I also liked we see a few consoles being played mostly NES having majority of these final bosses.
We also see Turbo Grafx-16, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, SNES, Arcade and PC. This fits into my vision of Halloween, it needs to represent as much of everything as possible. Surprisingly he does a point & click horror game. He does one final boss fight twice. The later one is vastly different including Mike playing on the edge.
Usually when he playing on the edge, he's very quick to anger when he loses. You can tell he has passion for his work. I know stuff like that isn't for everyone. A handful of these games are very difficult. We are talking very little room of error, you have to be perfect to win or lose horribly. Honestly, I am hoping Mike makes another one in the next few years.
For me the most surprising method he used to win was against the Icon of Sins in Doom II. Originally in this final boss fight, enemies would start spawning in. Depending on difficulty levels determines how many invulnerable power ups you may have. The final boss has to be damage in a very particular way you can't do much to rush it.
You have this tall moving platform that's nearby another bigger platform with rockets for rocket launcher. You are suppose to quickly run off the platform when it's almost reaching the top. Thankfully you need a handful of rocket hits to win. But actually landing a blow to the final boss can be tricky.
Also the more damaged the Icon of Sins is, the more tougher enemies including Cyber Demon spawns. This room can get filled with enemies fast. This is one of a few classic Doom stages you can go beyond 100% killing all enemies status too. This final boss fight can be quite chaotic at times, he somehow does it without invulnerability.
He found a way to control aiming in Doom II to make it much easier to kill the final boss off. Otherwise the previous method I describe is the only way to win. No other weapons can reach the final boss. Eventually I need to get Doom Eternal, it's been on my list for a few years now. A handful of games like New Ghostbusters II and Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti.
They weren't released in the United States. Although many people here do own those games. One boss fight we see being played from two versions. Satan in Goblins 'n Ghosts, we first see the NES version. Later on, we see the same boss fight from the original Arcade version. He does play a modded version of a PC classic, Diablo too.
It's called DevilutionX, I didn't come up with this. This was meant to be a more modern port that works on my computers as well as some devices. This concept actually more common than people think. Many classic PC games in some form has versions made by fans like this. Eight out of ten times, the companies doesn't do it themselves leading the fans doing it instead.
I know I'm several months late from covering this Halloween video compilation. Honestly, I rather wanted to watch it when things stopped being busy on my end. So I can enjoy watching it more than having to limit how much of it I could watch while doing other things. Doing the later would've been giving this video compilation much disrespect, I refuse to do that.
As a joke, I would love to see someone make a game out of these final boss fights. Maybe that's too cruel of a joke who knows. I always welcome more Castlevania and Doom. I always been a huge Doom fan. Speaking of Doom, I do plan on getting PO'ed: Definitive Edition. A famous Doom clone that's a parody of that sub genre within FPS games.
I been giving hints to some future blogs to possibly look forward to. I don't plan on stopping doing that anytime soon. I highly doubt Mike will care to check this out. If he does and likes it that would mean a lot to me. I decided to fully rewatched this video compilation while writing this.
I personally wanna thank Mike for something I would've deeply enjoyed past Halloween. I do enjoy what I do see of his streams. There's a particular one people will look at me funny for confessing. He plays Infinite Pizza with the title of that previous stream being the word Pizza several times.
In this stream, he's in a full pizza costume with a background to match. He really went full in on the joke. The only thing missing was the ninja turtles lol. Back to this video compilation, don't expect this to be a rage Mike video compilation, it's not that at all. This is more of a pure game play video compilation with determination to match.
I guess we could say in some of these. He had to go Ultra Instinct Mike lol. Look I was dying to make that joke since I started writing this. Obviously this was well edited from start to finish. The ending of it may occur without warning. You can even tell Mike had fun making this. I'm crossing my fingers in the near future, he streams Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game.
Heads up, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game so happens going to be the next game I'm going to buy soon. I already talked a huge deal about it. I figured to do a quick follow up blog next to help get some people ready for it. I for one very excited to play this. One of my favorite low budget horror movies of all time turned into a multiplayer video game.
