It's not for everyone, but there's a subset of people who enjoy hitting their desk 10 hours straight just to beat a single boss. It's very satisfying in the end, and often also repeating the fight perfectly just feels so damn good it's worth the struggle.

It's really not different than fighting hard battles with your other hobbies, learning that difficult technique or whatever

It feels like old 2-d shooters on NES. You're just expected to memorize patterns in order to win. So you have to die a couple times to figure it out, but it's just tedious to me. I enjoy things designed for you to figure out on the fly without requiring dying in your first try.

Sometime, I want to make a VR vs Action "Proof of Concept" game that shows how much modern game combat is memorization. The VR player can do as much extensive windup as he wants, essentially creating a new "attack animation" on each go, and the action player must desperately try to work out when to dodge for iframes or parry.

Exactly, I love VR because of the freedom/creativity of input. Even just playing an FPS and seeing a table you can duck under or a corner you can blindfire around
