That's why some games have difficulty selection, for a set rate througout. Nice because I can still have an amazing challenge while at the same time I have a mode ot get used to it, but the more satysfying gameplay I think is, as I said, when the game gets harder and harder as it goes on, like Metroid Prime for instance. That game had perfect difficulty scale I'd say, with the first boss being almost boring, and the last boss being so utterly hard that even now I don't always win against it.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
