" @Brendan: On Insanity you constantly have Harbinger around you and the boss has an insane amount of health. You're not safe anywhere because of Harbinger and can die in a few hits. "
As someone who has beaten Insanity I can honestly say that that is simply not true. With the right weapons and ammo Harbinger can be killed within a matter of seconds and as long as you stay behind cover, the Reaper simply can not hit you with anything. Bioware is not known for making great, or even good bossfights, but this one was exceptionally sucky. "
Ok. So I guess I came in here and made that up for absolutely no reason then. Call me a liar. sheesh... "
I have to say that I beat it just the way I described on insanity. The "big" boss is not that hard. I tihnk the game would have ended alot better with a Gears 1 General raam, that requires you to move between cover constantly. "

"Mass Effect 2's Praetorian disagrees... what a bastard. The final boss of ME2 was also a bitch. Very challenging. I think that FFXIII has some pretty awesome bosses, especially Barthandelus. The music that plays while fighting him is epic. Plus, when you fight him the second time he looks badass. "
Dude what, all you had to do was hide and pop up and shoot his eyes. It was one of the easier fights in the game period.
Probably something ridiculous like Mario. Jacking into a universe like GTA or Mass Effect wouldn't mean anything, you would just be a regular guy in that universe. Mario is so messed up just being there would be crazy.
Ryan wasn't saying that it was wrong that the formula was the same just for the sake of it, he was saying that janky aspects of the formula that have been in the series from number 1 are still there. Watch the quicklook, some of the camera style issues (falling off the bridge) are a staple of the series. While third person action games (such as Batman:AA) have come along and brought new and more involved/compelling gameplay style, GOW has largely remained the same. There are people out there who don't care at all, however, and like the game just the way it is. You are one of those people, so just don't worry about it and have fun playing the game.
