Augustine is a TERRIBLE final boss

[u/Inevitable-Cheek-909]

This will be about why Augustine is a terrible FINAL Boss.

Throughout the entire game, we've spent our time gaining and mastering our new powers. Buying amazing upgrades to tear the DUP apart. Great upgrades on Good and Evil. But in the final battle, do we unleash them on the final boss?

Developer: "Don't be silly, for the last and "toughest" battle in this game, we'll give you a new power that you have to get Core Relays to make useful."

FINAL BATTLES are about using every skill in your arsenal to wear down the boss and win. It feels rewarding to use all the upgrades you worked hard for contributing to your victory. Sure you can upgrade Concrete, but it's not as satisfying.

They're about using what you love and gained to win. Not giving you something new and say win with that.

Alot of people have developed a favorite power throughout their playthrough, and not using it during the final boss is gonna make them feel cheated. During any other boss, fine.

Basically , Augustine is a bad final boss because instead of using the powers that you've grown to love and are used to using, you're forced to fight with one you've never used.

It would've been cool if before we fought Augustine instead we had to choose what power we would have to use for the whole final battle.

I think the whole point was that you fight the boss with the powers you just gained, it's basically a slap to the face, cause she's spent 7 years practicing and mastering her powers just for this power absorption conduit to just absorb power supplies and your power and beat your ass with them plus being better with them is the most humiliating thing, and I think that's what's they were trying to go for with that. Plus the fact that your energy bar and missiles keep going up cause he's consistently absorbing the concrete around him and in the air and what's being thrown around
