>game gets funner the further you progress

Why shouldn't it?

The whole point is that you and your character are getting better at the game, why shouldn't it be easier lategame than it is early on? Besides, most attempts to make the game more "difficult" later on just equate to inflated enemy health numbers/mob spam.

Games are supposed to keep challenging the player as hjs skills improve, not bore him to death.

Games are supposed to be entertaining first and foremost. That doesn't equal to them being hard.

>>382845368
This is honestly my biggest complaint with the Fire Emblem series as a whole. Not even the highest difficulties are hard in the endgame, with only some exceptions.

so most RPGs and shooters with lots of discoverable weapons?

>>382849976
RPGs and shooters usually start easy, then become braindead easy in the midgame, then get hard in the late game.

Games should offer entertainment through difficulty and the conquering of said difficulty. A game should become easier as you progress not because of the game throwing you a bone through overstatted gear etc, but through developing player skill. Similarly the games difficulty should ramp up to match the player's skill as well as they gain more tools.
If you beat an area and then play that same area again, you should find it automatically easier due to it training you by being difficult.
Dark souls (kinda) and Furi are two examples that come to mind, and they're two of my favorite games.
Hotline Miami and Nuclear Throne are also similar, and are also some of my favorite games.
And in different forms, any of the zachtronic games (though their difficulty usually outpaces your skill, requiring a much higher time investment to solve their problems), and Factorio.

I do recognize that people have different tastes, but luckily video games are diverse enough (and even more luckier) is that both my preferred style of video game and the style of video game that is mentioned in the OP are popular enough to consistently get high quality releases.

Factorio would take half as much time as it does if player speed was twice as fast.
nothing was particularly difficult in the 150 hours I played

Demon's Souls and Resident Evils 1 through Code Veronica are definitely among the worst offenders of this.

Are there any games that do the opposite of this? This pisses me off more than anything.

>>382851805
Making an efficient factory is difficult in a different way than difficulty in other games. Also long reach is the best mod of all time.

>>382851971
Please re-read the 2nd paragraph.
I find difficulty in games and conquering the challenges they offer to be fun, while I recognize that others my find fun in other ways. I'm happy that both preferences consistently get high quality games.
