Spoiler warning

I never played it, but the second Jedi Survivor game has a fight against Vader, but not at your main character. You win in the fight, then the cutscene makes you lose. It's played off as a "close loss", but it's disappointing when you can no-hit the boss and lose for story reasons.

In that very specific scenario I'd almost prefer Vader to be unbeatable. Make it so he always perfect blocks you, he prevents you from getting close, he interrupts your combos. I almost feel like making the boss actually impossible sells your point harder than making them "beatable" but you lose in a cutscene anyway

the first one has a few moments like that too. I'm guessing the game expects you to suck since it's a souls like, but I started playing it just after finishing Elden Ring so I was more or less breezing through it. And somewhere at the beginning of the game you're fighting with 9th? sister of the brainwashed evil jedi legion or something, and at 1/4 her health and with 2 health potions left a cutscene triggered showing Cal getting beat up lmao

You're only no hitting Vader because he's letting you. He was never in trouble, he's just having fun

Right? If I'm not meant to actually win the fight, don't include a boss fight, just have the cutscene. Or at least make the boss invulnerable to my attacks
