Curious. Very curious.

What the fuck are you talking about. Explain now.

>>715940436 (OP)
FF9's is my favorite, because the party got wiped defeating Kuja, then Necron comes outta nowhere, invoked by Kuja's omnicidal nihilism, and the four party members you don't choose wind up giving what little life they have left to revive the ones you did to face the God of Death itself.

>>715940436 (OP)
The final boss has to be a big enough deal to justify how obscenely strong your party is.

>>715942535
Act like a fool, think like a brilliant

>>715940436 (OP)
The reason this trope is believed to be common is due to poor reading comprehension. Just because the bad guy says he is the ultimate life form, or an unbeatable god, does not make it true. It's an example of hubris. You aren't supposed to take their delusional rants at face value.

The fact that you beat them is proof in of itself of their lack of omnipotence.

>End of the game
>Your party of four has grown powerful enough to cause meteors to rain down from the sky and cleave mountains in two
>Get to the final boss
>It's just a guy.

Does anyone actually want a game like this?

>>715940436 (OP)
Name some webcomics like this

>>715942790
NTA but my surface level understanding of skibidi is that it was originally effectively a YouTube poop-esque series but has somehow morphed into a sci-fi action shonen with planetary stakes

>>715942496
human enemy always has better gameplay, god enemy is always a better spectacle, and spectacle leaves a deeper impression

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

>>715940436 (OP)
literally any JRPG

>>715943221
A fair number of bosses are kinda like that though. A lot of "gods" in JRPGs are really mortals who obtained godlike power. In other words, humans who became gods.

>>715942496
the only good thing about tekken 8's story is the end where kazuya and jin lose their powers and fight without any gimmicks, man to man

>>715943304
I know, I'm saying it's cool, not rare.

For me it's fighting giant pigs

>jrpg
>The final boss transforms into a demon/dragon/angel

>>715940436 (OP)
Escalating power levels are fun

>>715942496
yeah fighting gods is so memorable
since it is so memorable it should not be a challenge for you to name one fought god that is one-tenth as memed as senator armstrong or has caused anywhere near as much shitposting as lanius
and no, gigyas doesn't count - he's not a god just an ayy

>>715940436 (OP)
Nothing is immune to power creep.

>>715944372
Webcomics loved to suffer from cerberus syndrome.

>>715940919
astlibra might just be the most extreme I've ever seen a game take this idea

Penultimate boss is just a bot with your speed and whatnot.

>>715942496
speak for yourself

>RPG
>Final boss is a shadow clone of you
>Has all of your moves and your entire specc
>Because of the way you specc'd yourself, you only have one elemental weakness
>You don't have that element
>Final boss fight is a 1v1

Clone fights usually don't work that well in vidya. Usually, player characters hit harder than they can take. This is because you usually have strict HP limits, while your need to hit hard enough to make a dent on bosses with bloated health bars. If the boss is exactly the same as you, one of you will one-shot the other.

Pretty much Quake still, but lesser models/texturework

I might someday commission a joke like this

Like
START is a shitty black&white drawing of a man in his comfy chair using a laser point to amuse his cat (outside the comic strip) saying
"my cat is amazing"

PAGE 1058 is a fully professional drawn and colored multi case page, the man would be on a robotic flying chair using a giant laser-pointer on a devil door, so his now giant cosmic powered cat can break from the other size
"my cat is amazing"
of course you'd have plenty of extra character around

It's just a case of powercreep in multi sequel games.

Playable character typically gain more and more power each game.
So the next game has to acknowledge it and give stronger enemies to fight. Eventually you end-up needing to fight god, then the boss above god.

(unless it play the RESET CARD but that's just as silly)

>>715946513
Why do people like you exist.

>>715946720
Why not?

What's another trait found in the best videogames?

>>715947137
bangin music is a must

>>715947137
repeating rival boss fights

>>715947270
I prefer the childhood rival of the MC that you meet passively at several points in the game becoming the next boss after the final boss as they have been secretly training to beat you.

>>715947137
Blue skies.

>>715947137
Interacting with stuff make thing happen.

>>715941247
underrated.
except kirby and pals is STILL just a couple of silly little guys while they fight god.
because their ability to STAY stilly and lil is how they manage to resist god.

>>715940436 (OP)
They aren't. Sometimes it's just coming to terms with yourself.

>>715945720
Not strict clones, of course. Nothing tops Vergil in DMC 3 as far as "clone" fights go. Just a similar moveset as you, but amped up.

>>715940436 (OP)
Some Persona games kinda go like this, in a way

>>715943196
>The single strongest being in the universe
>Invul phases, periodic minion waves and QTEs

>>715940436 (OP)
isn't this basically 8-bit theater

>>715940436 (OP)
Plenty of games doing this trope, but the only time I've seen it done live action has got to be Fast&Furious franchise. I honestly have no idea wtf the series is even about at this point.
