I just spent the last hour and ten minutes trying to capture a Custom LAV on Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and it's not even a good vehicle. I only need to it to unlock more extra missions.
Anyway what are some of the longest Boss battles you've completed? Was it becuase of the difficulty, or was that particular Boss just tricky to hit? I like battles that take a while to complete, it's not so fun when you can exploit a tough Boss's weakness and kill it in a few turns. That said, there's a fine line between a challenging boss that requires time and strategy to beat, and a battle that just seems to go on for ever.
The reason it took so long to beat the Boss I just mentioned is that it has an escort of 33 armored soldiers, which you have to defeat first, and its machine gun shreds you to peices if you are caught in its line of fire for too long. By the end of it I had used up all 30(!) of my recovery items and has used up all of my supply markers, so if I ran out of rations or ammo that hour would have been for nothing.
The End from Metal Gear Solid 3 is another infamous one. Fancy a sniper battle that takes place over three forest zones and you can hardly see or hear the guy until he shoots you? Add more time onto that if you want his unique camo and rifle. That was a fun battle though and if you put the time into it you get some pretty sweet equipment.
