I didn't really like the CyberDemon at the end of the game.
Don't get me wrong, he was absolutely awesome and terrifyingly powerful, but
I personally take to boss fights where its not "ok i have to shoot him so
many times and he'll die" or "if i do this little thing over and over
(cough)soulcube(cough), the boss will eventually die"
I would've liked to see an ending where a 'creative' solution kills the boss
(like in Perfect Dark where you have to shoot the pillars behind the boss in
order to defeat him).
But, to the actual question at hand, is the Cyberdemon easier than the
Guardian?
I think so.
I didn't realize that the Seekers had to be killed before I could hurt the
Guardian until I died a few times, then actually started listening to the
soulcube. The Guardian moved a whole lot faster than the Cyberdemon, and
his melee attacks made me all panicky, which made that fight a lot
harder/more fun.
Oh well, they both still rock =)
