15 Most Unfortunate Video Game Bosses

BB UNIT (METAL GEAR SOLID 4)

The Metal Gear Solid series always had a knack for presenting its main bosses as more than just set piece encounters- they were also actual characters, with proper backstories that were, more often than not, terribly tragic. The BB Unit in MGS4 exemplifies that perfectly, with each of these twisted monsters having been soldiers in the past who now suffer from extreme post-traumatic stress disorder.
