I shall admit to being pretty lovely at classic fighters like Street Fighter and whatnot, but even then - I'd consider pretty much EVERY fight a boss in that genre.
Fighting games are the boss fights from beat-em-ups made into a separate game, but Kotaku commenters have never played a game made before 2005 (or by Nintendo) so they have no idea that games can have saturated colours and guns without ironsights.

Brooker's stance on boss fights is nothing new - he talked about it on Gameswipe way back when. It's basically the current zeitgeist that because someone bought a game they're entitled to all sixty hours of gameplay even if they're a dribbling idiot with three fingers. If you don't agree with that, then you won't agree with him.
