Boss fights you were disappointed with?

[Sheep]

I'm sure many of us have done boss fights we were disappointed with for one reason or another. What is yours?

In Fable 2 the main antagonist who is built up for the entire game is beaten in a single hit.

I was like..10 years when I played it and I still haven't forgotten about that.

The original Spider Man 2 game out on the PS2. All the build up for this 'epic' Mysterio boss fight that ends with only a single punch LOL. It was a huge disappointment for me at the time, but even then I still found the absurdity of it really funny.

Braniac, in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, is an absolute wet fart to end such a good game on. Braniac is literally the same boss fight as the Flash fight with just a little bit more power.

I beat majority of Dark Souls bosses on the first try, so some of them were disappointing. Especially after all the hype around the difficulty of the game. Gwyn just swung his sword few times and died. So much for a burned out husk all-powerful god.

Wallace Breen at the end Half-Life 2. What you're supposed to hit with the gravity gun isn't obvious and I didn't even see what happened to Breen afterwards.

Barthandelus in FFXIII. The first one, in particular. It's not even hard really it just goes on and on and on and on forever.

The Prophet of Regret in Halo 2. For context, I'd gotten into Halo Wars (an RTS) well before any of the FPS Halo games, and I was a Regret main. The Prophet of Regret hero unit could get really, really powerful, and I was looking forward to getting to fight the force of devastation I used so often in Wars, since most other enemies I'd fought mapped fairly well to their RTS incarnations. Regret... not so much. He's mechanically treated as a vehicle, which means you can instakill him by meleeing his throne, and he's invulnerable to actual ranged attacks, requiring you to use the cheesy-feeling melee 1HKO to kill him.

It's not really a boss per se, but the Arena/True Arena in Kirby Planet Robobot. The bosses are always in the same chronological order you battle them in the story, whereas the Arena/True Arena in previous Kirby games shuffle the order of bosses (aside from the final bosses, of course). I like the variety of not knowing what comes next, so battling the bosses in the same order every time bugs me.

My least favorite boss fight that I was disappointed in was the Cortex boss battle in Crash Bandicoot 2 mainly because of how annoying it is. Atleast the boss battles that I have partook in, but of boss battles that I know are coming in games I'm working through that are disappointing will be in Far Cry 3 since they are just qte's.

Every boss fight in MGS4, except for Vamp and Rex Vs Ray. Metal Gear was known for it's crazy boss fights with outlandish characters up until 4. The BB unit didn't really cut it. Peace Walker also has this issue, but the boss fights there are a bit more creative.

If I'm going to choose...

With Pokemon, of course, I would have to say the more recent champions I've been disappointed in. They've all been a cakewalk, aside from Volo from Legends.

The newer Sonic games as well, their boss fights aren't that challenging as they use to be.
