Man, you beat all the bosses!

[AshfordPride]

And now that it's the final level, WHY DONT YOU JUST FIGHT THEM ALL AGAIN IN SEQUENCE! Tee hee! What an awesome idea! This should be in almost every game! Oh... Wait... It already is!

[SniperWolf1564]

When you have to beat every boss a second time, it shows that the originality in the creativity department has run dry.

[Knights]

In Okami, you have to defeat Orochi literally twenty four times.

[Lambtaco]

I think it's just away to make a game that much longer without really doing anything. It's either fighting the bosses again or nothing, I usually choose fighting them again.

Not just defending it because I did it in my game.

[sedinz]

Damn you, Viewtiful Joe!

[X-Naut]

Better idea: How about fighting all the bosses in the game, but then you have to fight them again? Only in...

Reverse order or whatever.

NOW THAT is thinking outside the box.

But then you have to fight the same boss twice in a row... And once you jump that hurdle it's all downhill...

That would never work in RPG's.

But what if the developers made the difficulty ramp up with each boss you beat in the reverse order?

The first boss you played in a normal, linear fashion will be the equivalent to the game's last boss.

[MetalDart]

Same boss but this time they're a zombie.

[TheMaster]

I have never played a game where that's happened.

[Some-Stupid-Idiot]

Wait a minute, what if they added new equipment to the bosses. You know like the little egg guy you fought nearly 10 times in Paper Mario.

But here is a better idea, why don't they make you fight all the main bosses... at the same time.

[Jercurpac]

You don't understand, you're fighting their twins. You did realize they all had twins, didn't you?

Twins?

Even identical twins have differences in personality or whatever. They must be clones.

Also, what about those enemies who spray paint themselves a different color and say they're something else?

Blue rat. No problem. It's just a normal rat. I've fought tons of these. I'll take him down in two hits.

Red rat. WAIT. WHAT. HOLY FUCK. RUN AWAY. RUN AWAAAAAAAAY. RUN THE FUCK AWAY ITS GOING TO FUCK UP OUR SHIT AND OH GOD 365 DAMAGE SHIT FUCK OH FUCK SHIT FUCK

[Sparkpro]

Well, maybe that first time was a fluke.
If you were really good at the game you could beat them again no problem, right?

[Grade-Zero]

Wait...Everyone is going with the trend of fighting all of the bosses twice, they'd never think to fight them THREE times! We'd catch the gaming market by surprise!

[Legionnaire-X]

And sometimes they are even stronger than the first ones.

[uhnoesanoob]

What about if we remix the music and make the screen black and white?

[Deadly-Shadow]

Not only that, but once you've defeated them all, you have to fight the real last boss! Oh, by the way, there arn't any health pick-ups either, that's not a problem, right?

[squidly]

None of you get it!
If you beat these bosses you get a special item!
Beat them reverse then you get an even specialer item!

You have been playing Megaman have you?

All the fucking Megaman games have it

Has been done. Devil May Cry 4. First you fight them as Nero. Then as Dante (in reverse order btw.) then as Nero again. Gets a little too repetitive...

But then let's say we reversed the reverse order, and then like... sprawled them throughout a storyline... and added other gameplay elements... or something?

[Flak]

Speaking of which, Final Fantasy 1 pulls the biggest unoriginality.

Garland as the first AND last boss? Come on.

[ShadowWest]

Devil May Cry 4 on Son Of Sparda difficulty on mission 19.

5 floors. Play a crappy dice game, at the end of each floor, you face a previous boss Berial, Echidna, Agnus etc.

It's a nightmare on SoS.

I can't imagine it on Hell and Hell.

Battling bosses three times with one time in reverse? They've blown my idea out of the water...

This guy holds the key to wisdom.

[AshfordPride]

Speak of the FUCKING DEVIL.

World Ends with You.

You fight this girl.
Then you fight this guy.
THEN YOU FIGHT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

And then... JUST WHEN I THINK THAT THIS NIGHTMARE IS OVER. TEN FUCKING MINUTES LATER THEY'RE BACK DUR HURRR DUUUR.
