But I'm glad to see this being implemented! ^_^
I suppose that my main question is that of what to do with (non-critical) boss-rewards... are those still given...?
On the one hand, withholding it deprives the player. On the other hand, it was supposed to be a reward...
1) Story mode level.
2) The game detects you've had x attempts & gives you an easy kill option.
3) There is a smarts, not a skill, way around the boss.
4) Let the game take over & kill the boss for you.
I hate when there is an achievement for killing a boss in 10 seconds, when it takes me a minute, just give me an achievement for getting to that point. :D
And that's exactly the kind of defeatist quitter attitude I'd expect from someone who wants to skip boss fights๐
Oh boy .... ๐ฟ
I get the impression there's a significant โ of folks feel the same way. I figure if skippable cutscenes are OK...๐
But then, I don't suck, so it's probably easier for me ๐
Example of a bad boss fight;
Anything where a boss can ONLY be defeated by using stuff in the room they decide to live in.
Speaking as someone who often sucks at boss fights, if I can't figure out/am unable to get past a boss fight and can't continue in a game, I'll just stop playing it and not want to buy games from that creator in the future.
Still, better to have the option to suit all tastes.
Bosses can be, in a word, shit, but that's the sign of poor design I reckon. Still, everybody's different.
Bosses that are rote learning of repetitive patterns & movements can feel a lot like "Put the wooden shape in the right hole" for me.
Which I've no problem with - millions love Soulsbourns, I don't, so I rarely play boss-centric games. I'm not complaining about them๐
As you say, they see an option thatโs already in several successful games as an existential threat. ๐
(Do I dare admit I always choose the easiest difficulty level when that's an option as I don't have time these days to keep replaying the same bits every time I die, or is that a whole new can of worms?!)
Ok, for now.

That said, you'll always get naysayers and gatekeepers - I'm sorry you've had to put up with this bullshit over the years Tilly!
Oh, wait, I forgot. People hate it when someone does something their own way ๐ซค
Stupid joke aside, you can't deal with terrorists, with morons, or with fascists.
Besides, boss fights should have an option to skip them. Especially when the boss fights are not obeying the game mechanics of the rest of the game.
