Sessler’s Soapbox: Boss Battles
In this week’s edition of Sessler’s Soapbox, X-Play’s Adams Sessler takes aim at Boss Battles. In an age where the player has play styles and how to accomplish games, final bosses either don’t offer a satisfying enough challenge or are too scripted to be exciting, opines Sessler. Adam offers his opinions and then asks viewers to chime in what they think might be a good solution to makes boss battles as good as they used to be. You can check it out on G4 or watch it after the jump.
