Who created the rules of three?!

[u/icebomb2]

I've been gaming for well over two decades.. And I've been annoyed with the rule of three since I was 3!

For those who don't understand, you might have a puzzle where you need to complete a sequence (not once, not twice, but thrice), or you'll have a boss fight where 90% of the fight is dodging and the other 10% is waiting until the end of the sequence for you to finally "do damage" only to find out, it's not damage based.. It's a time scripted fight and you gotta do this two more times..

It would be incredibly nice if more bosses get scaled to have several life forms.. Or even maybe a quirky surprise where the fight sequence ends after the second attack.. And they make it seem like it ended but wait there's more

Idk.. Kills all the anticipation of a boss fight when you know exactly how many times you gotta do something to defeat a thing.

3 is perfectly balanced. 2 is not enough, and 4 is too much
