Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? (lemmy.world)

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.

I agree. I honestly hate boss battles. I love playing video games on hard mode, but for some reason boss battles have never filled my soul with joy or given me a sense of satisfaction when I'm done. They just irritate me. I definitely have games where I'm on the hardest difficulty for normal game play and then right before every boss battle I'm going into settings changing the difficulty to story mode so I can knock them down in 5 hits and move on with the game.
