No way is a business going to stay afloat if one of your employees torments the patrons. A parent sees that and they're going to complain or kick his ass.

He probably does it by rigging the carnival games.

Absolute. Cinema.

Thats a good point actually, Eddy did get his scamming nature from his big brother. Like to think after the movie he did legitimate, beneficial businesses at little to no cost like bake sales or lemonade stands.

Final Fantasy 7 did this actually. For the first 5h or so of the game, Shinra seems to be the big bad along with their president. But then Sephiroth shows up, kills him offscreen, and soon after you get the flashback of him and cloud which shows him to be a much much bigger threat. We all know Sephiroth to be a legendary villain, but if you were getting into FF7 for the first time back then, it'd be a pretty big twist I feel.

I actually quite dislike this one because often I can't help but to think the director/writer has some unresolved family issues. And even when I don't think that's the case, it's still a pretty cheap way to make people invested in, as family issues is a pretty common aspect of life, so it's not much different than the rape plot.

Technically SEQUEL: blight. The final boss is the remnant of an ancient evil god defeated ages ago in the creators previous series, literally named thing that failed to die. It's caused all the shit that was going wrong throughout the game but its physical form can only just flail around and scream hatred at you at that point, so the final fight is a one-sided beatdown. Porn is serious business.

can't wait to see how they fuck up Avatar Beat

>>714469754
Probably not what you were referring to, but this was fucking tits.

>>714455916 (OP)
>the final boss has the exact same powers and abilities as you and you have to beat them using raw skill

ace combat 4?

Honestly, I just love boss battles against love interests.

>>714484036
Don't tell me you didn't play the dlc where you actually play as the warrior of light and defeat Jack.

>>714457207
>you end up raped by the boss at the end

>>714455916 (OP)
>final boss sacrifices himself for you

>>714466532
>The final boss is your character from a previous game

Kino

>>714491047
Nope. The pic I posted is from the game

>>714468931
The reason he’s kino is because he’s so mindbroken by anger
It’s a good arc because he’s supposed to be this incredibly composed and wise person, clearly talented but still shoved around due to his heritage
And the whole time, he’s playing the fiddle of the society that hates him

>you can fight the final boss whenever you want

>>714456416
KOTOR sorta.

>MC gets sick of the villain's shenanigans and just literally rips her head off

>>714479328
>shadow generations had a second chance to use who I am and soiled it
worse than the mistake of having no shadow 05 level

Gunvolt 3

Replace "kills" with "subjugates" and that's Kid Icarus Uprising, complete with fake credits roll.

>villain is an oppressive leader of the kingdom, working people to death, digging for resources everywhere, and generating as much wealth as possible
>protagonist and their friends overthrow him
>turns out the villain was doing all that oppressive stuff because he was desperately trying to prepare for an invasion from an unstoppable army of nightmarish, eldritch horror creatures
>now that you overthrew the villain, this responsibility falls on you

>>714485484
that's what crosscode's final boss should've been like

>>714483249
need for speed most wanted
>run a gauntlet against countless enemies with it
kind of

>final boss is a red herring, the REAL final boss just appeared!!!

>you play the entire game supposedly as the last member of your species
>the entire plot is to find a way to preserve your kind
>the final boss is another member of your species
>when you meet, your instincts take over and you realize that the nature of your species is to exterminate itself

>the protagonist lets the final boss win

I hate that I like this

Fable 3

>>714497705
Mortal Kombat 9?

>>714466723
God how did they shut the bed so hard with NMH3

>the mechanics are changed for the final boss requiring a unique approach

>>714474471
How is that game still stuck on GCN and PS2? What's the hold up

>>714494884
>omitting a game with dogshit levels and visuals
>mistake

>>714469648
Last story

>>714473662
>all of your stats increase
KINOOOOOOOO

>Protagonist has to sacrifice his special power to defeat the villain
>Lives, but is never as strong as he was ever again

>>714470390
yeah

>>714455916 (OP)
>final boss theme is an epic orchestral version of the games main these

>>714498132
For me it's
>final boss has multiple phases
>the first phase has a very slow, ominous and threatening theme, feels less of a battle theme and more of something that screams desperation as you are thrown against an extremely powerful foe
>the last phase completely gets rid of that feeling, instead the theme is fast, somewhat upbeat but still intense, as if you can almost grasp your ultimate victory as long you fight and believe

>>714503528
>main these
*main theme
Dammit

>>714491505
I'm not there yet. The DLC are all really tedious and require severe min-max autism. I've only wrapped up Dragon Trials.

>>714486856
That just means the boss is weak

>>714503528
>>714503630
main these nuts

>final boss is your NPC sidekick who ran the upgrade shop
>he used all the money you spent to create a giant mech

>>714503898
Yeah Henry Hatsworth was a great game.

>>714503884
Present them

>>714455916 (OP)
>game has a female antagonist

>>714455916 (OP)
>game has dancing minigame

>>714461805
That's not your pet, it's the Mana Beast that awakened after the Mana Fortress unsealed it. Flammie is seen in the credits.

>final boss starts in a theater room and plays flashbacks of key moments of the journey throughout the fight on the screen beside you and the boss

>final boss succeeds off-screen after you beat him
>other enemy backstabs final boss and steals his power
>other enemy is the true final boss

>>714500554
The only levels that are genuinely bad are the ARK and Mad Matrix, the rest are decent with some of them having annoyances on certain missions. Lava Shelter and Circus Park were the most fun of the bunch imo.

>final boss is the protagonist of a later entry that is chronologically a prequel

>>714456126
>you are the alternate timeline version of the main villain
>get killed in the ending by your ally because it would somehow kill every iteration of you across the different universes

>>714455916 (OP)
>protagonist erases himself from existence to save the world
>no one remembers them except friend that has a faint memory of them from seeing some trinket
Its the cheesiest anime shit ever but I like it.

>>714456416
Dead Space 2, kind of.

>MC from the first game becomes sequel's protagonist's mentor

>>714484413
>imagine a game where being good makes things easier
So every game that has ever had a morality system? Yeah what a fuckin' concept.

>>714458307
>It's all the skills, but they're comboed and raised to 11
Revengence was so goddamn based for this

>Final boss automatically kills you after you get him down to 50% health
>You actually get revived by the power of friendship and have to sit through 10 minutes of flashback cutscenes of your party members telling you, "Don't give up!"
