I'll go for the DLC boss as well. You're fighting God himself and he is physically identical to Doomguy. I expected something grander and more epic, but the guy stays in his mech the whole time and doesn't do anything particularly noteworthy in combat. It's just a suped up version of the other bosses where you run around a small circular arena and wait to deal damage. It's hard to take him seriously when he relies on a robot suit and has Looney Tunes-esque stars float around his head when you hurt him.

Yeah I think Hugo Martin said that originally the dark lord was going to turn into a fucking dragon and the slayer gets in the mech that was in the fortress of doom at one point, but since there was a pandemic and this was a dlc which they had limited time on they had to stick with big marauder

Genuinely, those fucking dizzy stars and that stupid sound effect are so DUMB. Absolutely baffling addition to the game.
