It's a shame because only stuff like World of Warcraft have good boss fights anymore.

Western game boss fights are typically awful, but Japanese games tend to have the most memorable and cinematic boss fights.

Are we gonna pretend most old games had good boss fights though? They were different, but lovely in their own way. Most bosses in platformer games had you repeat the same piss easy action 3 times for the kill. Some of these bosses looked cool but they sure as hell weren't difficult to fight. I think most games have always had lovely bosses.

I think mechanically older boss fights might not be interesting, but on a cinematic level they were impressive. Here is a good example. On a mechanical level it's very basic, but the presentation is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mGOFQVhtFs

In this day and age, you don't have good mechanics or any kind of cinematic presentation.
