  is that even fun though? part of what makes a difficult boss fight so satisfying is when you finally DO beat it

    Sure, if you’re a masochist. Not everyone has the time/energy/willpower to not even get close to finishing a boss after 50 attempts and need to do another 150 more. I can’t tell you how many games I’ve completely given up on because one specific boss does something that I just can’t manage.

      Huh. If I don’t like a game I just don’t play it.

        What if you like the game, just not that one boss?

      why did you choose to call yourself a “fuckwit” on lemmy?

        Someone submitted it into a form at work like 10 years ago.

  I would rather pay another human being to TeamViewer in a d beat the boss.

  Good Lord.

    Good god! Interacting with other people!? Ew!

      I don’t like people but I like them more than I like AI.

      I also grew up in the 80’s when you’d ask an older sibling to best the boss for you.

  I’d rather stop playing than have an AI finish it for me.

  Why not just put in a “skip” button?

  • fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Could you imagine how the fans would react to a skip button in Elden ring?

      Probably not as bad as they would to an AI babysitter.

    A completely pragmatic soultion with minnimum effort to implement and no R&D cost? Sounds completely useless for generating value for shareholders.

      Oh God, you’re right! How did I forget about shareholder value?!?
