do boss fights really need to take so long? (Destiny)
and killed the Ogre in just over eight minutes by myself.
8 Minutes of doing the same thing is an ETERNITY in video games time.
I was having a blast, thank you. Why?
1. It's an encounter designed for three people. I was playing it by myself since my matchmade team disappeared. It was like playing the best parts of a Halo game on Legendary with the added tension of knowing that a death would reset a lot more than just a few enemies. As I said before, three of us could have knocked it out in three minutes, maybe less.
2. I wasn't doing the same thing. I was shooting the boss. I was scrambling behind cover. I was taking out mortar knights. I was firing up Ward of Dawn to blind the tough and dangerous sword knights that would come after me. I was retreating to other sections of the map. And I was using my fusion rifle to take out wizards.
And that's the thing. None of the boss battles ask you to sit there and just peg away at a wall (heh, or stand in one place and shoot into a cave!) they challenge you with diverse waves and generally keep you moving. The only "same thing" you do is "play Destiny." If playing the game seem to take an eternity to you maybe you should consider playing a different game.
