What is your breaking point for difficulty even if you're having fun?

Octopath Traveler nearly broke me. That final boss with the boss rush that you can't save after. Added an hour to each attempt at the final boss...and that final boss was extremely difficult, where existing strategies stopped working for me.

So I did the only smart thing and used the mod that let me save after the boss rush. And then attempted the final boss another dozen times.

Oh yeah, I heard of that. I was 10 hours in and when I found out I quit. Idk what they were thinking with that practically making their game unbeatable for anyone who isn't hard-core at these games. 

I'll still say that the game is worth it.  It's so good.  But the end is a huge spike in difficulty and definitely a roadblock for those who don't want to put in that extra time and effort to conquer it.

I used the mod because it would have added 10-15 hours of gameplay to have to fight that boss rush (which I could easily beat every single time) before every attempt on an extremely difficult boss.
