This game in particular, I could see taking a lot of people (maybe not an average number of people but a big chunk) 100 hours just to complete without even doing side stuff because they get stuck on a boss for several hours at a time, every time.
It being a good game and giving the best feeling after beating something you're stuck on for a while just pushes people to keep going until they finish the whole thing.
Perhaps. But if a boss is too hard, I also see a lot of people starting over to redo the earlier bosses with a different build. I've done that a fair amount on other games.
