IceBrand Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 After a long fought battle the boss drops their weapon, explodes in flames, and you move on to the next area. I say the Castlevania series has the best death animations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saisymbolic Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 My favorite one I can think off the top of my head is from Devil Kings (which is the first Sengoku Basara, I believe). Also, it's been a long while since I've played this game, so I might be remembering the scene wrong. When you go to fight the Devil King at the top of Honnouji Castle, you fight in a room set ablaze. When you defeat him, a cutscene occurs where he is repelled back by your final hit. He staggers backwards, injured, all the while laugh manically. In his final moments, he stretches open his arms and tilts backwards, still laughing until he hits the ground, dead. After this, the words "Devil King is DEAD!" appears on the screen and you win the stage. I wish I could find footage of it, because it was over the top and awesome.

Ken Masters Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) It hardly gets better than DooM 2016 over the top deaths, especially on bosses like the Cyberdemon. All of the bosses die in extremely badass and gory ways, though. Mostly because you're playing as a badass.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Castlevania has some pretty great ones. Zelda does, too. Otherwise...I dunno, can't really think of many series with awesome boss death animations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Killcam on a named dragon in Skyrim. Also, dragon kill in Dragon Age:Origins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebony Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Honestly I'm enjoying the death animations (or "animations") in Bloodborne. Usually they fade into ash before exploding into gallons of blood, but damn I feel good when I see the words: PREY SLAUGHTERED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 While I wouldn't call them bosses, the breakdowns in Ace Attorney can be very satisfying. In particular, Seeing Dahlia Hawthorne recieve her just desserts in in the trial of Bridge to the Turnabout is extremely satisfying. And in the most recent game, Spirit of Justice, the breakdown of Roger Regnitz is one of the best in the series, if not the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Great Mighty Poo (well, it's unknown if he really dies, but the way how he disappears is more than satisfying for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical CC Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Dark Souls games. It's not like the death animation is good or anything but the feeling of accomplishment when the boss die is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The best thing about the bosses in DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze is that after defeating them you can vent your rage by beating the crap out of them. https://youtu.be/GILy6EHWkqQ?t=25m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
