Doing so as a one-off with an event like this, okay, I can live with that. Different strokes and all that, after all it basically is a promo of another game.
Telling them "awesome, more just like it!11" .. well, lets just say, that I'd like to provide a countering voice at that point, okay?
To each their own. But I think it's a fine first step. I can see more bosses like that that shake up the actual format that so many gamers are apparently bored with. I mean we can get another one where we have to outrun a boss or something while fighting, the possibilities are endless. It doesn't always have to the format. I liked the second phase of the fight and taking away the air markers ras awesome in my opinion. Makes you legit play that fight a completely new way.
