What is it about these bad guys?

  

Why is it that the bad guys in video games get more and more difficult as you fight them? Suddenly they spawn five new limbs, discover an even bigger laser in their back pocket that they forgot about, or reincarnate in an even stronger form. Is it that they've forgotten how strong they are? Did they originally misdirect pity upon my avatar?

They should become weaker! I'm sorry, but my sense of realism is completely lost when the monster goes from 2 arms to 5.

If, on the other hand, we went from 5 to 2, then I'd be fine.
