Does anyone kinda miss games being really hard?

Has anyone considered the part TIME plays in this particular discussion?

Sure, it was great to have games that took you months to practice until you finally are able to beat them... when you only had the allowance to get 1 game a month.

Now I'm finding that I'm playing all sorts of different games and I have enough trouble putting in the time to crunch through them as it is. I wouldn't mind a difficulty slider, so I can give myself a challenge after I beat it the first time though, I just wish the difficulty sliders would actually be designed to make the enemy ai smarter instead so I have to think, rather than just handicapping my health or boosting the enemy's damage to me, etc.
