Anybody who's ever played a classic Resident Evil-style game knows the feeling of getting to the final monster with all the hoarded ammo for your ultimate weapon (magnum/hunting rifle/flare gun/whatever)... Only for the monster to die in like at most a single-stack of shots because it turns out that the "ultimate lifeform" is weaker than a moderately sized car -_-
If I remember correctly (it’s been 10 years), the final boss in Bioshock I still had a rocket launcher (? Or something similar) I had hoarded for a good while. If I recall, it was only two shots before he was dead. He didn’t even finish his during-fight monologue. I’m very, very bad at video games and was very confused as to why the fighting had stopped.
I was specifically trying to get all the achievements in it in 1 run because I had borrowed it for just a weekend from a buddy of mine at my college. I got to the final boss and just unloaded everything. Fight ended in like 30 seconds.
I told him to check my achievements when I gave it back to him. I get a random Xbox live voice message of him just screaming "WHAT AAAAARE YOU!?" 10/10 would torture myself again.
