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.
In the end, it’s personal preference, and so both play styles should ideally be supported.
I love a challenge, it’s how I relax. If something isn’t challenging for me I quickly get bored and stop playing. I basically need my brain to be stimulated and thinking and trying to properly relax. Which is why I often trend towards “hardcore” or difficult/brutal games.

As a kid I enjoyed the cheats. As an adult? I way way prefer the challenge.
Same, but I also already have a job, and I don’t want a game to just be more work.

There’s a difference between a challenge and a slog.
Again, personal preference. What I consider a fun challenge you would 100% consider a slog.
Not really. There’s a quote a big line between a good old fun and being a fuckin masochist
