Yea, people, it's time for Metal Gear Solid 3's poll. This one delves a little more into the supernatural with the bosses, so just bear with the crazy, because unlike the first 2 and the fourth game, there's no explanation for these.
The Pain
For me, this dude's the most scary boss not just in the game, but ever. And that's because of his powers combined with my own personal fears. He doesn't seem that frightening at first, with simply a Tommy Gun and grenades...until you find out that he can telepathically control hornets, coercing them into stinging you to death. Yea...color me terrified.
The Fear
He's got two poison crossbows, a prehensile tongue, double joints on every limb, spider-like reflexes, and Stealth Camo. Fear is an understatement about this dude. Especially when he's the only boss in the entire Metal Gear Solid series which is capable of regenerating his stamina, and that's just not fair. Be afraid...be very afraid......actually, he's not really that hard, he's just hard to stamina kill.
The End
If you've played the game, then you know why The End is one of the coolest boss fights ever. If you know what you're doing in advance, then you'll probably have him beaten quickly........in about an hour. If you don't know what you're doing, then you will probably never be able to finish this fight the right way, simply because you will not be able to find him before he's taken you out. This old dude is the master of camo, and he's also the god of sniping. But, if you don't want to fight him the right way, you don't have to. There's an opportunity to snipe him long before you fight him (you're a bitch if you do this), and if you turn the game off and move the console's clock forward a week during the fight, he'll die of old age! WARNING: If you take this method, you're a pussy. The game even tells you that you're a pussy. I mean, come on! He's ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE YEARS OLD!
The Fury
Eh, I've always felt that The Fury was just a spot filler. A former Cosmonaut, he's now a flamethrower/jetpack-toting maniac. That's...really about it. He's a very shallow, one-dimensional character, to be honest.
The Sorrow
Ah, The Sorrow. If awesome had a picture in the dictionary, it'd be him. He's a medium, meaning he can speak to the ghosts of the dead, which obviously would prove very useful on a battlefield. He can even (supposedly) manipulate those spirits into doing his bidding, bringing about his own army of the dead, so to speak. But, perhaps the most disturbing yet awesome thing about The Sorrow is the fact that when you finally meet him for a fight.........HE'S BEEN DEAD FOR TWO YEARS.
The Boss
The Boss. The chick that spends the entire game making you look like a little bitch. After seeing Snake throw around legions of soldiers like ragdolls, not to mention the beatdowns on Ocelot, running into The Boss always proves to be an emasculating experience. But, even the battle against her proves to be emasculating in a sense. She wields a Patriot sub-machine gun with unlimited ammo, and the battle just happens to take place in a field of flowers which make her practically invisible even standing right in front of you. Like CM Punk, I say Luck is for Losers, but if you didn't at least have a little luck in this fight, then you're lying.
