I usually play games on "normal" difficulty these days, for a balanced challenge. However, I don't particularly enjoy boss fights, or at least I don't enjoy the extra challenge associated with them. Was thinking it would be nice if games had a separate setting so I could just set boss fights to "easy", while not making the rest of the game less challenging as well.

Fuck before even that, they should fix and put and easy mode on all games. Why can't the lazy devs even to fkin that for accessibility.

I really hate FromSoft for the utter lack of a difficulty slider in all of the Souls games.

I don't have the time to grind their games to "git gud" like they want. Just let me enjoy the game instead of wanting to pull my hair out as I play.

I've essentially wasted $120 on Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring because I hear nothing but utter praise for them. Then I realized I didn't have the time or patience to grind out those boss fights, so I get <10 hours of play time out of them before I have to stop.

You could just do more research before buying a game at full price and being mad that the game isn't for you. If you want a story those games aren't for you. There's more story in YouTube videos about the game than what's actually upfront in the game. I understand being upset at a bad purchase but adding a difficulty slider is counter to the developers intent and thus not made for you.
